Children are very BRIGHT and their INSIGHT just MIGHT
DELIGHT, when watching them INTERACT so MATTER-INFACT
As they TRANSACT in PLAY and listening to what they SAY
Any DAY while sharing their WORLD that’s so UNFURLD.
Being CAREFREE and with GLEE accept what they SEE
And never BE caught in AFFAIRS needing REPAIRES
That are not THEIRS, remaining AHEAD and not MISLED
But INSTEAD, they are GUIELESS and therefore stay TIMELESS
Seizing the MOMENT without OPPONENT or POSTPONMENT
Take this COMPONENT and FOREVER will ENDEAVOUR
To lose it NEVER, instead just CAPTURE childhood RAPTURE
And MANUFACTURE life that APPEALS to their IDEALS.
The hardest part playing Sparks In The Dark,
Is trying to keep focus.
All my thoughts, go lost in part, miss the mark, in my most intentional moments.
Stuck in my head, not present, never focused when I'm against my opponents.
So all I want, to keep me strong, to play along, is my Magic Lotus.
My Magic Lotus, the elixir to focus, it's magnetic, kinetic, it's hocus pocus.
It's the most important component of having the most precious of moments.
Vivid dreaming, live streaming, an intense array of your strongest emotions.
Sparks In The Dark finally mastered without disaster in a matter of moments.
Enriching value into his Grand Son
Preparing him to become a commodity
Component of striving integrity
Education mode
Sustained episode
Grand pa’s teaching being attention in every lesson
Taking his wisdom for all its worth
To the highest in the ultimate
My Grand Father prepared me for college
Showing the protocols of lectures and usage of the Thesaurus intellect
His teachings didn’t stop there, it was a preserver
4 hours every day in typing perfection
Technique and skill Fundamental
Up the keyboard letter being
Concentrating on accuracy and not speed
My Grand Father wanted me to have office skills to excel
Grand pa knew best
In his last words to me he said, “You are going to remember this old man”
It’s hard to forget someone who had interest at heart and love for his Grand Son
I miss my Grand Father and his caring ways
My mind runs on him every day
I think often, and will never forget
Sorry he is not still here being my regret.
My Grand Father’s wisdom often suggested, “Can’t is not an option”
Unless comes with attempted movement
Try in the effort
Many people say they can’t, but it is really won’t
No one knows what they can do unless it is proven in truth
In my younger years, my responses were always can’t without ever
Trying
My Grand Father showed me the theory behind the task
When I tried what I thought was can’t became I could
It was expectations beyond my thinking
For example, if I wanted to ride the water rapids, and said I can’t and that would be won’t out of fear
I actually attempted to ride the water rapids in the Adirondacks in New York State
Can’t is only a scare to try
Chicken out principle if you will
Believing is trying and understanding making it superficial
Can’t is simply ruled out
Can’t being no option
Put try and effort to the test
Observe as you excel beyond your own belief
Can’t is won’t and effort is proven in the movement and mind
Can’t in words, Cancelled, Action, Navigate and Try
If you take out the two words, Action and Try
Look what you come up with “Effort”
Don’t make can’t a component but turn effort into an element
I'm here now in an unwanted place
The place of reflective sentiment
No hiding it's written on my face
And there is no sign of resentment
Here it comes....it's the hurtful goodbye
Goodbyes are meant to be remembered
I wish there was more time to buy
But there is no time left to be surrendered
Just remembrance of beautiful moments
We shared in happiness and in sadness
But that was a small part of this component
With even elements of complete madness
But you were the reason it was worthwhile
It was your smile that kept me in this
The reason I strived for that extra mile
Because in your happiness, I found bliss
You were so beautiful in so many ways
Though you would deny it to the end
Even when I was lost in just your gaze
You were always more than just a friend
And a friend who I will miss so dearly
With your absence too difficult to bear
And it's destroying me so severely
But there is no way for you to hear
To hear this heartfelt, hurtful goodbye
Because you never gave me the chance
Your death left me with absolutely no reply
My tears are the goodbye in this circumstance
Crystal white I see it drop slowly
With out effort it floats on its own
If you could halt its moments only
Lapsed in time its uniqueness shown
But why rob it of its time so slowly?
Precious seconds before its moment
Taking its place with others wholly
Because it’s part of a bigger component
A pictures tapestry begins to form
Its palette ready for the artist’s touch
What perfection today shall we perform?
An only depiction of the heavenly such
It’s agreed then as the artist begins to work
Creation’s sacrifice temporary cold it feels
But its labored result is a unique artwork
Seen now the artist’s angelic image reveals
(W-W-H-W-W-W-H or 1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
I ardor you
with the passion of us
Depending on your values
however most agree
there is nothing more
universally greater than Love
the quiet consistency
or the public showing of
affection and compassion
oh love divine
might I not be spared
that you may make me to be
that we shall love as one
in the greatest feelings
of togetherness
respect and communication
to include compassion as
the essential component
of our togetherness
the context of a relationship
that selfless DeVine love
a connection between you and I
Love oh Love
saturate every crevasse
to have us done and redone
to again be as we were then
that love shall be on going and never
undoned
Love
Love
love
the ongoing emotional connection
of our togetherness

Thoughts beyond humans
AI is so full blown
A lot of people want to leave AI alone
Mind matters versus competition in the right thinking
What one thinks is different from AI
Idealistic superior
Words advanced
Human Intellect test
Common sense wins out in Human sense, but AI is programmed to be precise
Electronic component with technological values
The Human mind can never out maneuver AI
AI is ahead of its time in futuristic expectations
A human mind can challenge AI, but would a human mind win in resources given?
The theory of Conquer, Challenge and Exchange
Information absorbed through AI compared to the Human mind
Perhaps more established and tabulation being more sophisticated
Turning complexity into Simplicity
Calculation determined in quickness
AI would do it smoothly and precise with ease
The human contrast being slower element meaning the mind wouldn’t be as sharp as AI
The human mind might out match AI in not knowing what the human is thinking without penetrating the mind in what AI already knows and thought of
AI and human mind matters
Concentration will always be a challenge
Think wisely
Several voices
From the seas to the mountains
Valleys to the shores
Liberty and Freedom
Forefathers before us in their wisdom
The Constitution
“We The People”
Standing on principles on solid ground
America’s Legislative bible
Value of our rights in continuation
The tone and setting
The White House honoring
The Senate Uphold
Again, We the people
Granted and expelled
Our Rights
We are the component of government
Angled words being heard
Power in multitude
Never a conclude
Having prove
Left and Right
Govern Principle
Lifting every voice
Exercising strength
Utterance no longer tolerance
Strong in endurance
We and Up to the people
One Nation under God
We the People
America’s rise
Underneath there is a story
Water is a liquid
And the sand is an ingredient
Above there is a tale
Rain is water
And the sky is a component
This is just an ice breaker,
Embrace yourself For what's to come
The universe is showing itself
That is very funny
Embrace yourself For what's has begun
The planets are aligning themselves
That is very interesting
It's a accurate moderation,
Underneath there is a seed
Waves are a sequence
And the wind is an ingredient
Above there is a formulation
Storm is a thunder
And the clouds are a basic
This is just an ice breaker
Despair; an intrinsic component of human nature, an emotion in which every individual must confront before comprehending the full extent of their fortitude. As dangerous as it may be, there is power in despair.
Despair is an inherent part of the human experience, and it can be a transformative emotion that ultimately reveals our inner strength and resilience.
Despair can be a dark and overwhelming feeling, but it can also be a catalyst for growth and self-reflection. It's through facing and working through despair that we can discover our capacity for resilience, adaptability, and courage.
"Fall seven times, stand up eight." Despair may knock us down; be it unrequited love, loss, misfortune and so on, but it's up to us to rise again, stronger and more resilient than before.
In despair we find the most pessimistic and hardened parts of ourselves. In finding our darker sides we can be, ironically, more whole.
Drowning in color that isn't even mine
Opening my eyes, to see I'm colorblind.
What seems to be happy, for me is grey
What seems to be blue for me is rage.
Choking, not being able to breathe,
Restrained only to be at my feet.
I stand yet not tall enough,
My words not reaching high above.
My voice is weak, my component is tough..
I have no fight, nor bluff.
In the end I'll always fail,
For I know that I am frail.
Tears falling as I write these words,
Reminded by the true harsh world.
Such low hopes, what to do?
I ask myself, knowing there's no answer to commit to...
