Einstein’s numbers predicted it.
Alas, this classic physicist rejected it.
Tiny, entangled particles in mutual dependence
Separated by the longest distances.
Spooky action at a distance,
We cannot grasp this miracle,
Yet, science verifies the fact.
Objects the size of Buckyballs
Can link trillions of miles apart.
This communication or teleportation
ten thousand times faster than light!
Yes, au revoir light speed,
From your limits are we freed!
Spooky action at a distance,
Engineers dream of quantum computers.
Might we also harness this quandary
To reach the outer edges of space?
Might this anomalous principle
Account for certain sky visitors,
Objects authoritatively recorded,
Abruptly perishing in our clouds?
Spooky action at a distance.

A flicker of light from each eye
Radiant blink of blue-winged firefly
Blipping waves of stardust amplify
Transitory illusions of grandeur apply
Dark shadows with fluttering beams vie
Only telepathic conduit mind's eye espies
Aesthetic appeal lingering memory ties
To the surreal, iris vent in cloudy skies
On short, pulsing wavelengths hope relies
Yet, the palling veil of dusk heavily sighs
And pale, pallid lids sing a sleepy lullaby
Cooling streams of air distance verifies
Still reaching for lurid streams, now dry
But only touching stale trail of Bottle fly
My dilated pupils, welling with silted dreams, cry

Playing Trivia Pursuit verifies I learn little
About things that don't concern people, animals, or us,
Biology, and zoology, I never fiddle.
And subjects like paleontology I do not fuss,
Median, means and mode in math to me means middle,
Historical data I could never try to rush,
Spanish to me is an impossible mysterious riddle,
When I think of all this knowledge, I marvel and I cuss
That I can successfully cook an omelet in a griddle,
Since I was stuck with my idiotic sad little brain trust.

Light Verse
do you cry inside when i smile?,
does your heart try to hide?,
or subside,
feelings of jealousy and hatred overrides,
when you know i am happy,
and your rules i don't abide,
you see i have earned this smile,
you know i am gloomy and i cry,
you see i have earned this life,
you know i was once denied,
you see i have earned this language,
you see my inability to write,
i see you made fun,
i know my faults you highlight,
i see you would shun,
i know you know i am right,
i see you call me different,
i know your faces and eyes,
i hear you shout i pay rent,
i know my mind traces and defies,
the sorrow your heart finds,
to be kicked in those minds.
Thought i you a friend,
bought i your trends,
sought i this ends,
ought you to pretend,
caught you denying your errands,
thought i this road bends.
Can't nobody smile, or display there joy outside,
Can't nobody hide, you blow your trumpet and confide,
can't nobody buy, you broke and broken with venom inside,
can't nobody reveal, you conceal and seal and wear disguise,
can't nobody be negative, your positive mind cries,
can't nobody question, your mouth verifies,
don't you know a solution?, before the poison destroys,
your agonies finish you while you are alive.

Rhyme
We winter down south in Arizona
We stay down there six months cause we wantta
My friend Bob is about six miles away
And often we’d get together to play
The model airplane field, was where we first met
And that meeting I will never regret
After the flying, went out to lunch that day
Decided right then this guy’s is OK
We had fun sharing our RC Hobby
As Model Club Officers we did lobby
We even taught a model building class
We held that school once and that was the last
Bob has a wonderful wood working shop
How to use all the tools, he was on top
When I wanted to build a mandolin
Asked Bob if he had some time to lend
We used Bob’s shop, the project turned out neat
Took lots of time; not a task to repeat
Just recently, I had it set up by a pro
And it’s sounding great, I want you to know
He’s an entrepreneur and that’s a fact
His past working history verifies that
We’re much alike, one way or another
It seems we always understand each other
Bob and I get together now and then
Go out to breakfast or lunch with a friend
But I’ve got plans for some things we can do
Working a project, like we use to do

I hate that I love you,
Because that restrains me,
Stops me from loving him
The way I loved you
For fear of hurt and confusion
And my heart being broken
Beyond repair
I chucked up the deuces
Said my last good byes
But yet my heart still resides
Within the palm of your hand
And I love him that's a fact
No doubt in my mind
Beacuse that connection we have, verifies
But the truth is
I'll never love him
Like I loved you
Although you hurt me
Time and time again
And he treats me better
Than you ever will
And he loves me more
Than you ever can
And I tell you this now
Before all these witnesses
That now you're done controlling me
And I'm taking my heart
To his loving hands

I would be creeped out, Lucilla said.
Making me wish I had not mentioned their visits.
Glad I had stopped myself when I did.
They are not frightening, I told her.
Spirits comfort me, they are proof that life goes on.
How can it? She asked me. Dead is dead.
Not recognizing that flesh death is no death at all.
Sometimes her absolutist mind frightens me.
There is no opening for possibilities or new ideas.
She is stuck in the tradition of a family who forgot to think in their youth.
My grandmother giggles in my ear, reading my mind.
The smell of lilac verifies her presence.
I don’t know what I would do if a ghost talked to me, Lucilla said.
Can I please bite her on the leg? Grandma asked.
I could not stop laughing.

Now, as I retire after 50 years and look back on my life amid the well wishes from friends and the realization that this old body can no longer handle what my brain still yearns of me, I have no regrets for I have won this race. I have won because my adventure bucket list decanted from a fast pace to a slower pace of painting, writing, hunting, and fishing, taking the place of horses and playing cowboy leaving only the motorcycle to soothe the rush. My focus has drawn more to Jesus and sharing with others his abundant grace and love. He really is the Prince of Peace. It is the peace of knowing that the God, who encompasses all the universe, knows me by name, hears my prayers though a sea of humanity is issuing prayers also. He sent the Christ to shed his blood for me and the Holy Spirit to live in me, though I’ve battled him to go my own way. His name is written on creation, is seen in the stars and his image lives in mankind and nature on this earth. He is the first and the last, he is the Alpha and Omega he is the Godhead which is mentioned three times in the Bible and verifies John 5:7 “For there is three that bear witness in heaven, The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one. and there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, and the water and the blood.”
Jesus told Peter that He would send a comforter [ the Holy Spirit.] to them. Only God could do that.
It was Yahweh, though I fail him, that let me survive those stumbling steps of my life. It is Christ that
Is truth in his glory and atonement, through his blood, he is the perfect lamb of God.
Romans 1:21 Because that when they knew God, [ Jesus] they knew him not as God, they glorified him not as God; but became vain in their imaginations and their hearts were darkened. Romans 1:22. professing themselves to be wise they became fools.” This reminds me of what we see now in America.
John17:4 I have glorified thee on earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:5 And now, O father, glorify me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee
before the world was. [A witness to the Deity of Jesus.]
Do not take my word for any scripture I defend, judge for yourself.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination John Lennon
IMAGINING ONLY WHAT I REMEMBER
abrupt
the falling
cord’s tight and coiled serpent hiss
reality reverberates into space
imagination
makes haste
fetal position
tethered to a voice uttering no relief
potentiality death
a bright room
the cheerfulness of white walls and too white gown
and death
cheerfulness you say
It keeps our feet from walking
verified
distance has its pride
reality’s long standing in shadow’s neverland
his form’s always there
stretched ‘cross
the bed i’m scared to approach
her purse
in suspended animation while they dance
i long to go back
and see him
but my imagination won’t bring me there

Always Speak The Truth
Never tell a lie, speak the truth
Don't feel shy, speak the truth
Truth is grace, with shining face
Reflects one's glory, fills personality space
Truth is love, truth seed sow
Truth is gold, glitters and glow
Success in truth lies, which touches the skies
In testimony when spoken, it gives surprise
Truth verifies and dignifies, truth testifies and horrifies
Truth magnifies and glorifies, truth surmise and beautifies
Truth is power, odors of flower
Truth is dignity, each minute each hour
Never tell a lie, speak the truth
Don't feel shy, speak the truth

What is this strange place we find ourselves in?
Trapped in the open- we are free within.
Somehow the norms we always saw as true-
have been displaced by those we're not used to.
Some rules we follow for our country's sake
no longer held as true, replaced as fake!
A new world order- now our leaders crave-
and yet, within we know we must stay brave.
Free speech, our Bill Of Rights, grants one and all
to speak our minds on all things large and small.
But now, we're punished to express known truth
as those in charge may deem as so uncouth.
The matrix we are asked to now uphold
defies our Constitution's clear-cut mold.
And so we find our ways to follow creeds
our Constitution verifies as needs.
The underground of free-speech websites grant
safe haven for we patriots who can't
express ourselves- the truths we still adhere
without the thought of being silenced-fear.
There, lives support for spreading freedom's spin-
trapped in the open- we are free within.
