Discern Poems

Premium Memberinherit the wind


We are inheriting Art and Arc 
Of trying to understand.  

How once, we were fingers, 
Born of the same common hand.

Miniatures born into this land 
Of thought.

Tactile each, and that ought, 
To have been enough.

But,

In the sound of each brushed whisper
Overheard in the billowing clouds,

We fought the thought
Of the popular injunction.

Loud as a newborn’s

Kabini - Discern as I Descend

Kabini- “ Discern As I Descend “

Amidst the yellow woods , Here I am
Bewildering what’s more beautiful?
Is it the green canopy 
Or the tall widespread trees?

Witnessing the nature’s blessing with every blink!
Greeted by the Humming birds, begins the safari with a splash!
Engrossed in the soothing sound of whistling Ducks!
Here comes running to me the husky

For Harry Horsman Lisa Ricci and I Am Anaya and You - Judging2

Dedication is to my Friends who avoid judging:

You are not the judge
But judge you must
For earthly matters and such
Leave hell to satan or demons
But Heaven in fragrances of your words:
Epitaph, apology, poetry, piety, congrats - - 
Even angels fall, why not us (Adamic) mortals -
When pride and ego explode in ungodly challenge!

How Do the Blind Discern What Their Dreaming

Before I was blind there were dreams.
But seeing my dreams
before I could see, depended
on how much you could really see.

Blind before birth,
and what you have asked of me.
Having my, our, hearing dreams-
your perception
is sound, sound that is seen,
left more unsaid about me.

I still see to see in my dreams
as one,
where I'm still left alive.

What they

Discern impulse coming from soul
Soft whispers of conscience 
Know God merger is our true goal
Our heart’s luminescence 

To be clear and succinct
Rest animal instinct 
Let soul be by love inked

Ego repulse

Premium MemberRed Sky

Did you see My 'Red Sky' at morning?
Listen to the Lord's stern warning!

Is it loving to sidestep My truth,
To judge My words as uncouth?

To bow to the oppressor's greed,
For wont of material need?

While striving for earthly treasure,
Do your scales conceal true measure?

Watchmen are dissuaded to preach
About boundaries not to breach.

What My Spirit strives to restrain,
You

Premium MemberDiscern the Truth

Dear soul, discern the truth, forsooth
Wait not for the said hereafter
Now or never, in body booth
End now, incessant thought chatter

Bliss elation greets cessation 
Dear soul, discern the truth, forsooth
Upon exiting stagnation
Silence wins, not the astute sleuth

Get rid now, of ego uncouth 
Clear light dawns, even as we yawn 
Dear soul, discern the truth, forsooth
Now, before

Watch each word well
To cast your spell;

Love brings true light
To make things bright;

Think, say and do
What’s best on cue;

Be bold and kind
With peace of mind.

Bear bleak boast
Taste taut toast

Sad thoughts make
A fond take

Spear good cheer
Purge odd fear

In a while
Spice new pile

Be discrete
Use words well
Discern buzz
Noise lacks bounce


Be mindful
Word goodwill
Discern touch
Sense binds reach


Be aware
Poise knows this
Seize bold choice
Live love brave


Be cheery
Jest feels good
Work your way
Greet here now

Be as a fool
A pawn or tool


Fool in a sage
A fine blank page


Sage beyond fear
As finesse cheers


Fear hides in dark
As terror Parks


Dark is the night
In strange black flight


Night sets the stage
To ink blank page


Stage your own show
Where new light grows


Show in fine style
A charming smile


Style thus dear fool
Such placid spools

Now and here
Be willing
To listen


Feel silent tones
Touch your heart
With bold charm


Learn to listen
As silence speaks
Beyond language


Yet you will know
A certain truth
That grows on you


Learn to glimpse
A soul space free
That tells you more


Here peace of mind
Prompts happy heart
In touch of soul


Deep beyond touch
A certain thrill
Prompts sure being


Now and here
Discern finesse
As grace brings light


There is a mood
