Challenging house lights on our street,
that sheer brilliance of outer space.
Brash stars shimmering in the heat,

ADHD Believe in its brilliance

No I won’t be afraid to speak my mind.
I’ll speak it with empathy though, I promise to keep it kind.
No I won’t be contained by negative thinking.
Not anymore.
All of those thoughts are to be mopped up off the floor.
No, thats not me, 
I am persistent,
consistent, 
resistant,
a brilliantly bonkers personal assistant.
On the outside I am anyway.

Premium MemberUnder the bleak sky of a hopeless night, where stars hide their brilliance

Under the bleak sky of a hopeless night, where stars hide their brilliance,
two lost souls wander unknown paths, seeking their light in the abyss of silence,
each unbearable day unfolds like a canvas of shadow and silence,
time rolls on and the wheels of destiny crush dreams under their silent weight.
Bones break under the burden of merciless

The Gem

I considered a gem today

A gem that I will one day own

A gem that brought such splendor

A delight that I had never known

 

I considered a gem today

A gem that I intend to keep

A gem that brought such beauty

A brilliance that caused my heart to leap

 

I considered a gem today

A gem that I desire

Jesus the Genius

He is still saving lives and doing miracles.

The genius of Jesus can never be destroyed.
His words will live on forevermore.
His deeds will infiltrate any organization.
His passion will deviate

Beauty and Brilliance

Every star has its story,  
Every star has its glory,  
Called forth by the Divine,  
Shaped by its journey through time and space.  

Jewels of the night sky,  
I wonder if they ever die.  
They are the painter’s inspiration,  
The creative mind’s gateway to a treasure chest.

Premium MemberShe is not impressed by your borrowed brilliance

She is not impressed by your borrowed brilliance,
By the overly polished theories that hang from your lips like cheap jewelry,
No—she feeds on rarer flesh, nourishment for the chosen soul,
She feasts on the marrow of irreversible philosophy, from tongues dead for centuries,
Her crown is forged from papyrus scrolls crumbled by time,
Engraved with equations that keep the

Stolen Dreams - Not Unwell

In your eyes a spark still survives
A place where your dreams flies
With your hand, mind and heart
Created a sweet that was art

One fateful day you questioned the books
To find honey mouthed partner a crook
The trust your partner did swear to abide
Was stealing your dreams, a grin did hide

Heart heavy with sorrow, your trust torn apart
The

A Monet

A crooked cobblestone street of windows
A maze of windows - creating a mournful meandering mirror
Watching, waiting, and wishing to be magical and magnificent
The brilliance of becoming something more
And as misty darkness undressed the Day
As luck would have it - wish granted, and it was a Monet.

Premium MemberThe Symphony of Silence - A Journey to Brilliance

In the hush of silence, productivity thrives,
Distractions fade, focus arrives.
Stress melts away, clarity in sight,
Productivity soars, like a bird in flight.

Creativity blooms in the quiet expanse,
Ideas dance freely, given the chance.
Communication flows, clear and true,
Collaboration sparkles, like morning dew.

Mindfulness whispers, in moments serene,
Reflection guides, like a tranquil stream.
Inspiration whispers, in the silent air,
Imagination roams, without

Let Heavenly Whirlwind Blow

In this season of chaos, let heavenly whirlwind blow,
In the eye of the storm, you will find peace, let it flow.
For within you resides the Wind, a heavenly decree,
Shine with brilliance, be what you were created to be.

In this season of storm, rise like a palace tower,
Stand tall, uncompromising, in this needy hour.
Be like a

Premium MemberWisdom School Brilliance

Knowledge might at least try
to include the humility of Wisdom
as leftbrain dominant thoughts
co-arise rightbrain subversive feelings

We have not truly hoped 
and actively prayed for wisdom
in our poured out words
as in our paltry anthro-privileged deeds.

They, on Othering hand
and wing
and side
and hemisphere,
demand and invoke more
more
more knowledge
to overwhelm with debate
about indecent deeds
using words like toxic weapons
of predation,
too often

She is from Nairobi, a highlighted nation of luminaries
A country that encourages the education of women
She has her masters and her PHD but none of that matters
When the men see how beautiful she is, they discount her brilliance.
