**The Trip is an ascending/descending syllabic singled word climb, whereby, more words added to the trip--is the challenge--my efforts concluded with a two/singular five-syllabic word in an ascension/descension mode.
Young-at-heart
Original
Undeniable
Comforting, caring, compassionate companion
Open-hearted, opportune, organic optimist
Magnificent, mesmerizing, magnetic magi
Powerful, passionate, playful pacifist
Luminous, liberating, light-hearted love
Extraordinary, exquisite, ethereal enthusiast
Transcending, transforming, translucent treasure
Effectuating ease, elation, and energy.
Memorable, magical, mystical maestro -
Eager, earnest, enticing, and eternal.
Held to Her chest, silly noises and funny faces made you happy
Gripped in His hand, temper tantrums and meltdowns reared your independence
Your fatigue and fussiness paints with such an unconscionable art-ness
All the while We were growing yet teaching you affinity
Moon tide you yearned for Us, in your crib-beating, in the beautiful blackness
We adored you and said “don’t be afraid of this divine darkness”
As a youth you distanced from Us, lashed back always wrong-Us; and right-you
Til moving out into the world, aspired zeal and faithfulness surfaced your moral
Your Intellect and passion transfigured your heart into a bestowing windfall
We piecemeal together a perfect match yet only expected effort from you
Effectuating your beat, rhythm and fervor thru the sable noteworthy nightfall
Jones in your bones made you fonder of Black Love’s vulnerable call
Think of all that you can be
The power of technology
At your will and fingertips
Deftly set to sinking ships
Never yet before this day
Existed such a potent way
For realization of a dream
Effectuating every scheme
Science now at such a peak
New horizons week-to-week
Entire systems at command
Clicked to life within a hand
Any idea thoughts can glean
Born to motion on a screen
Items only minds could see
Now quickly printed in 3D!
Call a friend? Tap your wrist
Hold some robots in your fist
Never has there been a time
Finding your success to climb
A ladder of your own device
Reach up to your paradise ...
And if the tech's not up to YOU
Just wait ... another day-or-two.
Whimsy
Cunning, quick-witted
Driving, thrusting, liberating
Souls connection, awakening the self
effectuating, heeding, heading
staunch, steadfast
Realism
