Premium MemberScars in Heaven, Casting Crowns

Three has ruled the roost for so long...
Four, boxed in so, has forgotten its role.

So picture five lingering outside, waiting
Thinking itself only a star

None seeing what keys are needed
To open the legendary Time of Times.

Oh... will repairs come in time for life
Or will zero claim more as food once again.

Shadows

Shadows
Whether they will be small, huge, tiny, big,
Short, tall, round, large or giant from anything and everything in this world, 
Shadows always appear.

They will become attached to you when the light rays,
Casts when something blocks you in the dark and, 
Follow you like a noir copycat mime.

The silhouette forms the basis of a 2 dimensional

Casting Stones

The unstoppable force keeps coming through
no matter the time with disregard
for place or weather
A matador of barbs grabs horns of bulls 
even when they mudsling in
herds together
It's coming together slowly piece by piece
as it does take time to
build a puzzle
The horn will keep blowing like trees in storms
even if it moves in silence
like loosened muzzles
The

Premium MemberIn the vast field of beings, some are stars casting kindness

In the vast field of beings, some are stars casting kindness,
Somehow born with a mirage that drips mercy of its own accord.
They traverse valleys and deserts, spreading, unwavering, their pure essence,
While others, with kindness held beneath the leaves of the heart, offer it hesitantly.
They are generosity embodied, with palms open towards the sky,
Even when the

Premium MemberWe shall be casting our crowns down at Jesus Christ's feet part two

On that soon arriving Beama's Holy Judgment Day
Will we be facing the Son of Man, very sorry and
Afraid? Or will we be jumping up and down, singing
And shouting praises to our glorious Heavenly King
Hallelujah Hallelujah Alleluia Alleluia Precious Savior

As each saint comes forth and receives his crowns,
As each saint comes forth and receives her crowns,

Casting Off The Bow Line

Casting Off The Bow Line

Goodbye
my unwed darling
I’m married
to this dream

Freedom
calling out to me
betrothal thus
redeemed

Bachelorhood
a Siren’s calling
Feted tween
the sails

Truant winds
to act upon
Legends
tell the tale

Setting off
this final time
Rudder
in my hand

Truth when hoisted
up the mast
Liberty
— commands

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

So Imbued

Crime without sanction
honor among thieves
Tomatoes tomattos
prudish obscene

Rules as their written
intention entwined 
Good becomes bad
sight becomes blind

Credence engendered
by those so imbued

blistering bitter colds breathe
winter’s whispering

fidget drops of whiten dust
snow storm rains on us

Premium MemberCasting the Shadows Away

In the river of dreams I will swim along 
hoping to live on a wing and a song 
gracing the moment with hope for the day 
leaving behind all my sorrows, at bay;
In the river of dreams I will know I belong 
to an ocean of love that will help me be
be strong...
Immersed like the

Wizard of Oz Casting Call

I've had several poets ask who I'd have cast in the roles of characters, so if no one is willing to play along, OR allowed to... I'll still share my thoughts.  Since I limited the parts to 3 per character, please know that some of you would've been added to this list, but I

it was Halloween, the moon was full
  I saw someone dressed as a witch 
 she cackled as she passed by
 I told her to jump on her broom and fly

 she  said some words  as she walked on
 I saw others in monster masks, 
 zombies roamed the streets searching for

Premium MemberHis Wind Vaporized My Sins Casting Them Away From Me- My Spokenword

His winds vaporized my sins
Casting them away from me once again
 I am leaving myself those my sins 
placing them in the ocean turning to the mist
 When they disappeared blowing soapy water bubbles rise
 Children rise to the air to find them
 So He separates our sins as far as the East is from

Premium MemberCasting Lots-Cleromancy-

He was casting lots determining the will of God
And holy times in mid Eastern Bible times 
Allocating lands, determining duties, assigning guilt 
Select the individuals for responsibilities
Cleromancy
Cleromancy
He was casting lots, casting lots
Cleromancy
Is it modern day man's comfort in psychology
A materialistic dependency leading him to clemency
Or is it a form and fashion of idolatry
Cast out lots
