WHERE NO ILLUSIONS DWELL
My Heart pours out remnants
of nothingness as I create in
form from Universes unknown
Union becomes Duality
a dash between birth and death
then disappears back
to Source from whence it
sprung
for to remain in form
is to be captive to
space and time
So does Purity only live
where no illusions dwell
in super seconds of no
boundaries yet no escape
frequencies of freedom fashioned
timidly we taste
It remains a shadow we
all chase in our thousand
million moments to bring
Heaven down to Earth
before we are called
back again, back again
bowing
buoyantly !

Push 'em, pull 'em, dip 'em, and squat'em.
Whatever you do, just don't neglect 'em
Aptly say no to loose and flabby
And yes, to tight 'cause loose is too shabby
No gym membership, Bowflex, or Peloton?
No worries 'cause pushing, pulling, dipping and squatting
will never be outdone
The mission is to push, pull, dip, and drop
So look good, feel good, and once you start, you're not gonna wanna stop
Walk it out too and allow the arms to buoyantly swing
A nice heel-to-toe flow; now listen to the heart sing
So push 'em, pull 'em, dip 'em, and squat'em.
But whatever you do, just make sure you never forget 'em

On an early morning walk along the shore
I pondered thoughts about the ocean floor
What treasures are buried beneath its sands
Amid corals, anemones, orange sea fans
I wanted a key to unlock the seabed's door
On the crest of a wave, what had been carried
bobbled and lobbed, back and forth parried
from shore and blown across windswept seas
Miles traveled by storms or a tropical breeze
on ocean currents, their journey never tarried
In a shallow tidal pool, a conch was stranded
A gift from Poseidon's hand, I'd been handed
I held the shell to my ear and then listened
awed by the sound while the sun glistened
Waves crested until on the beach they landed
With perfect rhythmic cadence they swelled
on a high tide until its last ripples were felled
Another always followed, close upon its wake
constantly flowing as if it had a thirst to slake
quenched by rushing ashore as if compelled
Buoyantly, bottles drift on the crest of a wave
Directed by the whims of tides, as if a slave
No ebbing waters have ever ferried one to me
I ponder how many notes drowned in the sea,
bottles speared by Neptune. Forsooth, a knave!

How does an old man as old as me
Keep up with the changes in society
Men can be women, old men can be girls
Pronouns can be mx or they, or hers
Abortion is healthcare through faces proud
Is said by the bearer who echoes the crowd
The word “marriage” has changed from the ancients
Is nothing pure? Is nothing sacred?
Positive and negative no longer are compliments
Now we’re the same cos no need for supplements
Sport now reflects the querying of boundaries
Like robots obeying we are and non-binaried
All whites are oppressive without a choice
Everyone else sings in harmonic voice.
The floodgates opened in 2014
Homosexual marriage the new morphine
All institutions now deceitfully captured
So called progressives buoyantly enraptured
The decline of the west has left me behind
But eternal truth is on my side.

Nature's the beginning and end of life
Consummate wisdom nature recycles
Summer's zenith fecundity is rife
Orbital spin seasonal revival.
Spring and summer glorious renaissance
Freshly beautiful with colours galore
My heart uplifted a joyful response
Magnificent moments to be adored.
Orbital spin brings autumn and winter
Orange rust debris falls littering ground
Recycled autumn, weather turns bitter
We are riding nature's merry-go-round.
Snow softly falling white landscape relished
Deep winter sleep, nature rejuvenates
Spring will arrive buoyantly replenished
All fate does Mother Nature orchestrate.

Riding the light of a new sunrise
Reflections of the earth
Caressing my soul, my hope
With serenity focused on the heart
Who knows light absorbs imperfections
Breaks apart dreams so they whisper
Kissing cheeks softly, buoyantly
Music silences the heavy warmth
As a new dawn echoes wisdom
Faith binds the hurt, releasing pain
Into the morning, throughout the day
Sunlight climbs toward the azure
Skies who know only praises
Like rainfall saturating the earth
Stirring feelings of grace
Pieces of a faith so amazing
It teases flowers and feelings
With promises of healing, a willingness
To open its eyes to His gifts
Inspired by the sunrise, the hope
Pouring out joy, laughter
Into the moments, the daylight
Sighing as it shades the dreams
In the ultimate peace – the belief
Nothing on earth can quite compare
To the evidence of His life
Stolen by the rising sun revealing the Son!

Hummingbird hardly heard,
airily, merrily
extraordinarily
effortless floating, near
weightless transparency,
seemingly without the
slightest of care.
Urgent persistency,
terribly panicky,
frenzied and frantic, she's
burning through energy
rapidly, hungrily;
precise machinery
executes there.
Mallard so lazily,
buoyantly floating on
glassy flat waters, he
glides on the surface, and
wanders unhurriedly,
conveying contentment,
trivial feat.
Feet like a bicycle
furious pedaling,
splendidly, swimmingly,
chasing and fishing, he's
hungrily hunting and
ready to eat.

Behind closed eyes, October beautifies
my dreams glazed brightly in woodlands kissed bare,
with winds composing songs in hazel skies.
Our hands entwined, awakened spirits rise
buoyantly through the apple-sweetened air.
Behind closed eyes, October beautifies!
Midst stars, we gather light to mesmerize
a tranquil earth adrift in silent prayer
with winds composing songs in hazel skies.
Songbirds and Autumn breezes harmonize
as we, on wing, glide over moonbeams, fair.
Behind closed eyes, October beautifies!
In scorching summer, how I fantasize
of you and I nestled near ember’s flare
with winds composing songs in hazel skies!
Like children, branches romp with birds midair -
and swirling leaves enchant us ev’rywhere.
Behind closed eyes, October beautifies
with winds composing songs in hazel skies.

With rhapsodic taps, startling beats
you do parkour upon my heart,
each thump pumping adrenaline
through readily receiving veins.
Keeping us alive with adventure,
you risk falling to oblivion,
thriving to revive priceless treasure.
Buoyantly flipping tricks through breezes,
you suavely sweep heartbeat streets
of villainous intruders,
saving your lady like a caped crusader.
Leaping beyond peaks of gleaming city lights,
your fingers dare reach for the rarest stars,
thumbing through infinity to seek
the uniquely perfect jewel
to piece into the sought mystery key hole
to open my heart's arcade of wonders.

In midst of winter cold
Longing for sunny rays
A few minutes
Here and there
Between clouds
Or rare clear days
Just can’t get enough
Hints of glitter
Brimming with life
Glowing with vitality
So dear to us
Making everything
Look gilded precious
And buoyantly optimistic

A fitting anthem for
an introvert like me-
Simon & Garfunkel's
scrumptious harmony
of “I Am A Rock”
spoke oodles to me
in its painful poignancy
bouncing buoyantly
on declarations
of independency
needing no one
utterly free
encased in fortress castle
with books and poetry
I was a rock, an island
a party of three
just I, Myself, and Me
Until he came along
and proved me somewhat wrong
as icy waters receded
I found that he was needed
an “island” no more-
I became a sort-of peninsula
with somewhat rocky shores
Yet, sometimes I still hum it
or belt it right out loud
“I Am A Rock”
ever my anthem
away from the peopled crowds!

High tide
sadness billows
swells over me in waves
massive, silent, overwhelming
melancholy ocean engulfing me
flailing, drowning in emotion
or maybe I'm being
too dramatic
only-
It feels
that dramatic-
my universe slightly
out of orbit or alignment
something strangely out-of-kilter causing
all things to be thrown off their course
too much wind and pressure
in atmosphere
storms surge
Drifting
on swift currents
rudderless, out to sea
swept toward an isolated
island, far removed from humanity
pulling me farther and farther
from the reality
of what could be
wind-tossed
Landing
on shore, lonesome
building small raft of hope
shoving off at nightfall, to sleep
buoyantly, trusting by morning I'll be
somewhere else- maybe better or
not, but different than
here- can't be worse
I think...

A HOT LZ AT NIGHT
Rotors swimming in the air,
my feet towards the skids;
flying fast in darkness.
Pack tight against my body,
one hand for the bird,
one hand for the rifle.
Tracers lazily float upward
feeling the sky for prey,
our sound their only target.
These deadly green fireflies,
green streaks when they pass,
silent in our windy passage.
Darkness hides the bird
from these crisscrossing tracers
hungrily searching our sound.
Charles also has this darkness
and he will use it to catch us
if we can’t quickly slip away.
In this game of hide and seek
to be tagged by the enemy
is a touch of deadly force.
The bird rocks and rotors flair
signalling a leap from the skids;
feet to hit dark unfriendly ground
The darkness our only sanction,
the unseen ground our uncertainty,
unless we can run fast and far.
If they sit quietly and hold the LZ
green tracers will blossom brightly
their sudden much unwanted welcome.
If hit the bird may never lift away
our option stay with the crew;
all this makes for a short patrol.
I often live this nightly madness,
watching buoyantly rising tracers,
playing the odds in our year of fate.

Submerged echoing whale tests the ocean's depths and width,
Coyote's moonlight call tries to fathom cool reflected light,
Buddhist's breathless "a-u-m," entertains cherry blossom's fall,
Galaxies too, seem to flee their own, seek the "Other,"
That which is more, that which surely must be, for "NOW" to exist,
All creation's just a taste of the inevitable "WHAT IS TO COME!"
Swimming is a word we all have a liquid kinship with,
With or against the tide (upstream or downstream), just water!
Buoyantly we float out of our depth through life on time,
Even our death, not the absolute ending we might aspire to!
If the "Big Bang" seems an implausible origin to many,
How likely is it that death is something that exists in fact?

Micro-particular molecular particles whose properties carry less mass at any given time typically are airborne, only to be respired and absorbed through means of respiration.
Exhaled only to be once again; inhaled.
Trapped inside inner linings of esophageal passages.
Buoyantly escaping; light-like-quick.
Tumbling like a cyclonic feather.
Blue rays with ultrasonic transfers of unconditional compromises shine light on this symbiotic shrubbery.
Rif-raf relief is a resulted byproduct or so-called "nuisance dust."
Unequivocal numeric figures comparable to such matter, couldn't positively identify with no such indication.
The previous possession will remain under further investigation.
Breath in.
Breath out.
Tumbling airborne once being transferred or transformed.
De-composition turns flesh into bone, leaving behind symbiotic shrubbery; discarded rif-raf.
Rispired and absorbed through means of respiration.
Exhaled only to be once again;
Inhaled.
