As I looked out the plane window
across a vast snowlike landscape
within my mind congeals the thought
of the vastness of Creator God.
And as I sailed on a cruise ship
across the mighty ocean vast
the image that my mind descries,
is of a God who is so vast.
As I look at the sky at night
Into illimitable space
my mind defaults to the one thought
of a great God who is so vast.
Where’er I look in nature’s book
the message leaping off the page
proclaim the familiar refrain
of almighty God who is so vast.
And what I cannot comprehend
is why those made in His image,
in contrast to all created things
refuse God’s vastness to proclaim.
Another wonder I ponder,
Is how this vast and mighty God
could be born as a helpless babe
dependent on his human mum.
The vastness of God enthralls me
His boundless love overwhelms me
As a creature in His image
In His presence, I bow in awe.

My awe and fascinated find
Lost deeply in a human mind.
Its fancy fonts, not easy read,
And yet it masterminds each deed.
Incessant innovative source,
Societies’ fierce driving force.
The scope of knowledge, wide and vast,
What minds grasp is designed to last.
Dishonoured defaults of mankind
Sit heavy on a human mind.
Gloom, ecstatic joy and sorrows
Hide in crevices and burrows.
Its stoic strength, rare and unique,
Exudes an aura of mystique.
Motion and progress in its prime,
Sparking the bright minds of all time.
And never fails to fascinate -
Mind’s lust for wit, insatiate.

Right Turns Hard Times
David J Walker
Only a scooter as if
a Scooter
was just a toy
The memory disguised
as an errant thought
Brought tears of joy
To a man returning to a boy
Before he could possible
die alone at home again and again
Alone becomes his synonym for a
A European Fone
Disconnected from
a forgotten number
Written on discarded paper
Memories default into faultiness
Thoughtless defaults into
a sign of senselessness
The old the deaf and blind
Await whatever is nameless
but next
The blind man on the scooter
Stopped at the corner
perplexed
But still attempts to fit in and
Cannot comprehend
The times and how behind
He has become
The scooter turns the corner
And he is gone

What a tremendous thing
We publicize our own thoughts
Phrases with Sorrowful voices
Urge of existing readers
Rubbing my bared face with sludge
Hopeless dark fantasies
Petrifying my self esteem
Glorious mysteries defaults
Glasses with wine ,holding upto the stairs
Viewed with blushful ideas
Strengthen my scars with awards
Drown my leg in summer hot springs
Oh what a tremendous things
With awful signatures
Praising our despairs

Warring wounded Warriors winded,
as they stand by the blood-stained shore;
Battalions breathily bruised and bended,
as they begin to march on for more…
Evil encounters evolve and enslave,
for their conquering captains do command;
As demons devour and deprave,
decompositional defaults within their demand.
Lachrymal lonely landscapes lament,
as deceptions and illusions take control;
Edacious entombment evokes,
evil incarnates infiltrating the immortal soul…
Weapons of war wager wild,
armored ambient angels lift their golden swords;
Egocentric evil must be exiled,
as we recover and resurrect for history records.

Spontaneous sulfurous stigmata sinisterly surfacing
Membranous molecules meticulously masterfully marshaling
Tangible tempestuous tears tangling thoughts
Radical revelation revealing ruinous rots
Pious priests patronize punishable penance
Impious illusions intrigue impacting independence
Narcotizing nefarious noxious naves navigate
Prioritizing pains portal pandemic perpetrate
False fixation fumigates fragmental fatal fury
Defaults determine damaged destructive demons dreary

Do you know the land where the lemon-trees flower?
There are folks whose bouquets seem to be vagrant;
their aromas are devoid of willpower.
“They need water,” says my friend who’s called Fragrant.
Contained within their trunk itself a sweet smell,
but in the growth cycle it bears exception;
scents escape from the bloom before blossoms swell.
Fragrant defines fruitless trees with perception…
Dry blooms expire before they reach beauty’s door.
Loveliness defaults when jaundice does not pardon.
The water of forgiveness seeks to restore.
Fragrant says, “Fruit is borne in grace’s garden.”

On occasion upper respiratory and sinus infections require
oral steroids to squelch and dry the muck and mire
To breathe without the wheeze is the desired effect
though some of the side effects are hard to reject
Loss of appetite is great, maybe I will lose some weight
some others I truly did not anticipate
Nothing good is listed in the insert or online sites
the best is my brain is on fire, blazing dendrites
Twisted thoughts and raging rhymes the result
crazy concoctions, decadent desires now the defaults
I like this, I freaking LOVE this, what altered bliss
head busting with stuff that needs emergent release
Not just from swollen, overactive mucous membranes
but steroid induced, agitated axons needing drained
STAT
Now infections subdued, RX for Prednisone 20 mg.
2 tabs for 5 days completed
if I emailed questionable poems just delete them
Though I am admitting I saved one tab to bite off a chunk
if again my brain is in a flatline funk
Oh no, just kidding !!

I oversees my likely behavioral that not controllable or not properly directed by the rightfully owner thats never been exposed to his behavior will not be ashamed to prevail and to acknowledge such ignorance thats awful to his name. In which I will award myself to a trophie thats far not yet been appreciate by my behavior defaults I will try to clear fast with no holdfast haults to my behavior standpoints and digest its guilt of ashamed behavior that was never not missed or made to be alive in such reality statement thats proven. I love to climax and resolutely to my behavior gratitude and surface to a portion of confidence meditate my overly controllable behavior and think to the conclusion of what might makes me overly overdue my conceptions of doing to much in hurting my bad behavior causes and releif through patience and time to heal allowances to the mind circumference. And to write to stimulate the behavior mind settings and fragments.

Free will defaults,
Align harsh pains;
Trade troubles vault,
Escape feels vain.
Allow the heart,
Note passive lull;
Details prime start.
Demands now cull,
Expose the fraud,
Sense a wise fool;
Touch with a nod,
Indulge blunt tool;
Notice grim fate,
Yoke burdens state.

A few short lines tell
Of sudden departure;
No longer you dwell
To nurture nature.
So sad to now know
This abrupt leaving;
A deep hurt stings show
To break happenings.
I knew before this
Harsh broken passage;
Sought to retain bliss
In denial's message.
Foolish ways grip me
For time here is brief;
Yes a fool can see
But sharp pain chokes grief.
You were a true friend
In my crazy days;
Who now can help trend
The defaults that stray?
Grief makes sadness long
For old history;
Brief touch can make strong
This harsh misery.
I sit here in daze
To discover loss;
I make face at daze
To show I am cross.
Dust and dross we are
In a sense most true;
So curl my old stars
And see this pain through.
No words can make out
The journeys to here;
No voice can shape shout
In incomplet_ arrears.

Orchard Road buzz
Many feet zigzag;
Shopping sprees call
Zoo Night Safari park
Nocturnal wildlife stalk;
Peek beyond the dark
Bubble tea shoppe
Mind-boggling flavours;
Thirst-quenchers ply
Local zoo visit
Well-fed wildlife glowing;
National education works
Journeys end
New beginnings spur;
Scratch-and-Win ticket
So many tribes
Skin colour harmony;
That's Singapore
Paper puzzles
To decipher;
Know-how defaults
School day crowd
Not so long ago;
Blend of many colours
Momentary fragment
Experiential movement;
Seek to pry stillness
Skybridge meditation
Active brisk walking;
Mantra in motion

Flood of last light
Dusk abruptly settles;
Weary day defaults
Cicadas start
Their somnolent song;
Sunset serenade
July rains hurl
Fields wet with gravy;
Frogs making merry
Croaking highlights
Simple harmonic motions;
Pendulum clockwork
Bedtime story:
I tell a tale of me;
Dream-o-Land retreats
Now I go to sleep
Dear Lord I pray:
To live another day
Mindful of vain needs
I fly to foreign skies;
Sigh within a dream
A tale of me
I see the glimpse;
Paradise must wait
Verse echoes sum
My simple ecstasy;
To sing a song of rhymes
Vivid lullabies
Attain a symphony;
Mindful moments greet
Our drama here indeed
To live and love and dance;
Elope with fantasy
Let truth and grace
Abide with love;
In simple melody
My sleepy moments
Fly away fast;
Whispers come to be
