Earth Day Poems

Rahu’s Shadow

When I was born, I believed myself free,
But Rahu came—
A warden of illusions, a prisoner-wider,
Keeper of debts written in the ink of forgotten lives.

He spoke without mercy,
“You will occupy cell number 8.
Do not ask what crime you committed—
Karma remembers what you pretend to forget.”

My mother wept, begging for reprieve,
But the verdict had been sealed
Long before

The Zodiac Wheel

In Atlantis,
we were not star-gazers—
we were time engineers.
The constellations were gates,
breathing frequencies
into the bones of man.

The stars are not above us,
I whispered to my students,
they are the memories within us.

To us,
the zodiac was not prediction,
but remembrance—
a wheel of origins
spinning in our veins.

Our Lemurian brothers
did not chart the heavens—
they felt them,
as sacred tones in the waters,
as

Premium MemberMother Bird Star Warmth

Seems so surreal...billions of beings
held in place by invisible forces 
atop a giant spinning orb
dependent on the charity of
mother bird's star warmth.

It's a golden time for earth and mankind 
conceiving and evolving

creating and mastering fantastic things
like flying machines and curing disease
searching for the key to the speed of light
planet hopping just on the horizon
unwinding the

WE ARE THE VOICE

Will you join your voice as one with our voices
Every nation is crying out for a new direction 

Across every language speaking in unison
Race against the destruction before its late
Every moment, it is becoming more precious

Together with our voices together, they'll hear
How we're are tired of the government' choice
Eradicating our hope for future generations

Violence has

ADAM LEGACY 4

ADAM LEGACY 4

A planet that was full of bountiful resources
Destroyed by the ones chosen to care for it
A darkness decended upon it named greed
Man didn't realise that he hunger for poison 

Layer by layer, he scraped by what was healthy
Even the food  that was found very unhealthy
Gold and all kinds of precious weren't edible
After

no title wotk in progress any suggestion

Just how could no one, not understand this
Why is the world so full of uncaring greeds
Will we ever realise the earth more than this
It can always provide everyone's own needs
What we leave behind tomorrow is our choice
Sharing the earth bounty should be the choice

Was there ever a reason to steal this land
There's too much that

Heal the world

Heal the world 3

Let's leave our future generations 
Our greatest ever gifts, give hope
Valued since the beginning of time 
Earth for it provides our every need

Time is running out of our calamity
How could it go disastrously wrong
Extracting poison from deep within

Even as we begin to, it grasp reality
About how we're doing the damage
Remember, we can

Heal the world 2

Together, We must try to heal this world
We can't just give up without even trying
We are the ones destroying this our world
When it's gone, there's no use in crying
earth has a deep yearning hunger to feed
Before it can once again meet our needs

What's there when it's our future? We borrow
All because we

Premium MemberMantenna

Lately my mantenna are twitching more than usual folks
the prophecies are surely uncloaking
time to batten down the hatches
the second flood is lapping on the doorstep
clutch your loved ones to your chest
Its nearly midnight, the world is on full tilt
nuclear pinballs ricochetting off 
bent flippers of black hearted madmen
They will not lead into battle
they'll just push

**A Bird in the Hand**

From my childhood, I cherish the sweet memory of holding a sparrow in my hands. Its heart raced wildly, igniting my curiosity. Gazing into its small, beady eyes, I couldn't help but smile as it chirped and whined, pleading for freedom. 

Yet, in its desperation, it bit down on my thumb,

Silent One in the Skies

The morning is walking in its own pride
And courage is leaning by my side
The sun is rising up from the east
 and fire is burning in the belly of the beast
Morning is shining all over the place
And the evening sun is melting their faces

Strange things are happening in town
And the multitude is moving around
With bags

Premium MemberMovies

You can escape reality just for a little while
Leaving your problems for a moment to smile
You lose yourself watching in many hours of bliss
Feeling the movie so much that you can feel that kiss 
Scenes of situations that you've known to have 
Having tears in your eyes and still manage to laugh
Movies are another world

Identity and the Mirror of Consciousness




Before the emergence

of consciousness
we were

a reflection of God

Afterward
  unable to perceive identity
    through internal reflection

God became a reflection

of US

Consciousness
  splitting the mirror

        2 hemispheres
            Asking

WHO ARE YOU

But
  No mirror

Premium MemberWorld Enviroment Day Linking Pin Sonnet And Prayer

Creation cries through wind and wave and tree,
Tree roots clutch soil like prayers yearning free.
Free rivers sing, but choked by human hand,
Hand scorched the skies, now breathes a dying land.

Land we were gifted, Eden’s greenest grace,
Grace we forgot, now storms our hearts replace.
Replace the waste with care, the greed with love,
Love heals the earth—our charge

Premium MemberUnheard

There is music in the silence, in the rest of unheard notes. That is where I hold my breath. Where the universe spins out its code for me to read. I watch as the unfallen sky reveals her mystery. Language unfolds in choreography, dancing between each blink of intention. 

But I have questions 
If time
