No more delaying, act now stop stalling, Time doesn’t call timeout; the clock never rest. Think, process, move then act. There’s no weapon I can’t overcome with you. You’re putting me in position, To make a move and now it’s my turn. Step out in faith and hold onto the promise, No matter the level of discomfort I feel or face. You...

Welcome to another phase A new dawn, another era It's festive season, love the reason A new month, without deceased Radiating liveliness not decay December without denials or delay we pray.

(a disastrous morning Sonnet) I am the very model of a girl who’s late for morning meal, my charger failed, the printer jammed, the morning’s start has been surreal I lost a scrunchy and a shoe, I had to use some dry shampoo my Keurig had no k-cups too, so I’m feeling like a total shrew!

I just want to bless All that's around me with no stress Even those within me, with love and ease For peace and prosperity I have made decrees A life is pretty stale, somewhat sad, so static Striving seems to mock it, and 'bout it, ecstatic He's at the drop of a hat set to borne goodness Where's the power to do,...

You all should know my aim: To hit the lasting fame. I wasn’t made a lame, Not, at present, Old Dame, And great prizes could claim… Men who to Peaks lay claim Forget not strength would wane: The once fleshy turns “Cane” Exciting bubbles ‘Pain’, Much labour “Little Gain” The Sane “A bit insane”: Soon, Towing Van with Crane… Not washed away by Rain Here, there or...

Morning aloneness. Dawn imparts prized magic. Next, the star blinks and vanishes. The Moon and Sun share the same sky. Autumn trees reveal their souls. was interred under a leafy canopy. Hazy memories of the past persist. Striking was impossible, yet I bore it. within a person’s heart. The mind reflects a rocky promontory. where spaces collided within the body, Pulling their last breath, they expired They...
