Bears Emerge from Dens

From obscurity, strangers emerge like shadows of a forgotten dream at the break of day,
vanishing like old dangers, whispering stories on the street of dreaming flowers,
where each passerby becomes a ghost of light in the twilight hour,
some exchanging sweet words, like echoes of bells in the evening breeze.
By my porch, a blackbird sings summer symphonies in the cradle of eternity,
red berries like rubies rest in a bowl, green butterflies like emeralds flutter,
the heart of the day turns into a dance of shadows and light, a sway of dreams,
where thoughts float like silk clouds in the sky of an ancient fairy tale.
Passersby, ephemeral smiles, eyes like stars seeking wishes in the distance,
the scent of jasmine flows like a river of sweet memories through forgotten corners,
a pink hummingbird pauses like a colorful dream in a world of silence and mystery,
and a yellow balloon rises, carried by the wind that whispers the secrets of summer.

A man on a mission
Needs a woman with vision
Not looks, beauty without brain.
You can't see what's ahead
If you got a blurry vision
To accomplish this mission
You need a queen because you're a king.
You can do all you can
But you can never break
What can't be broken
You can apply all pressure
But can never bend
What can't be bent
Always be prepare for the unknown.
I'm not the people's person
I'm a person of purpose
A leader doesn't pleases anyone
But his purpose, why he emerge
Being a leader isn't about making easy decisions
It's about making the smart ones.

I saw a woman emerge from a shadow
With a sly demeanor and look about.
Her sequined dress was aglow.
She didn't know I was also out.
I watched her remove a silver shoe
And stick her foot into the mere –
One of the darkest ferrous blue –
As if testing the temperature.
Her dress was even more brilliant -
After a countenance of approval -
When she crossed the bleak horizon -
Careful not to soak her lunar veil.

A celebration of myself, I heed the call,
I emerge, reborn, I'm not torn,
From the ashes, I did crawl, a soul reborn,
I sing the song of myself, in praise true.
In God's gentle hands, I find my role,
With each passing day, I grow and thrive,
In my 30's, yet in spirit, I'm alive,
I celebrate the strength that lies within my core .
For in God's hands, I find delight evermore,
I look upon my years with laughter bright,
As if I were a youth of sixteen, taking flight,
I laugh like a child, carefree and bold.
I sing a song of praise to my own soul,
I find joy, untold,
With every step I take, I'll gladly sing,
In the arms of grace, I'll forever cling.
Death's shroud may have hovered, seeking to claim,
But I emerged, unscathed, from that fiery flame,
I dance around with joy, a child's heart I wear,
Rejoicing in this life, with a soul laid bare.
So here's to myself, a celebration true,
In the song of myself, I'll forever pursue,
With God's grace, I'll rise above,
In the arms of grace, I'll forever love.

To the ice, you will not succumb.
Formations of ice crystals
Short furry spindles.
For you to form
It can no longer be warm,
For You to emerge
The surface must be still without a surge.
Your beauty will show,
So others will know,
A beautiful flower you have become,

Sometimes one has to retreat
From the controversial world
To find an inner calm
To stay deep in the sea like a coral
Smiling all the way
Dancing softy
Listening to the soft flowing of the sea
Enjoying the calmness of the sea
Watching the wonderful muddling of schools of fish
A sudden emerge of a diver will bring
An admiration of the human being
From the outside world
And also a great pride and satisfaction
Within the coral

Emerge from darkness into light
Then re-enter the void
Oscillate thus through day and night
Each moment, by love buoyed
With balance and rhythm
Leaving within no chasm
Harmonise body prism
Submerge
Emerge

i've noticed everytime i go out of state
today, there is no escaping a toll
why are we so casually docile
when it comes to our freedom being stole
we systematically give some stranger
our money just to ride on the road
when did that happen
i suppose long before we lost
actual lyrics in commercial rappin'
we use to be such advance beings
cracking puzzles and breaking the DaVinci code
writing hieroglyphs and manuscripts
like the Dead Sea scrolls
presently under this suffocating ceiling of control
what happened to forming an alliance
coming together like our forefathers
exchanging and sharing thoughts of high science
exemplifying magnificence and reliance
politicking under the sun and moon
grasping why the moth emerges out of the cocoon

And here,
We must part;
Prize cheer,
Wear warm heart.
And now,
We must end;
Feel how,
Walk your bend.
And feel,
We both know;
Time heals,
Live your show.
And touch,
We love best;
Feel much,
Join last quest.
And gain,
Works fine ease;
Love plain,
Words fond peace.
And mad,
We etch well;
So glad,
Tales love tells.
And bliss
We know now;
Love is,
Why and how.
And grace,
We did all;
Each face,
Heard love call.
