Planting Seed

Planting Seed
Miracle Man
4/26/2024

Change is sometimes birthed,
from planting one single seed.
Oft times it’s solitary purpose,
Is agreement with some creed.

From a subtle thought placed,
in a fertile, unsuspecting mind.
The seed sprouts and grows,
until your thoughts were mined.

They try convincing others,
that safety exists in numbers.
The visual of crowd size,
intimidates and encumbers.

Religious Fundamentalism

Belief and faith is a function of mind,
which is a thought spiral that encumbers,
religion is but blind leading the blind
and know there is no safety in numbers,
for until we rest mind, our soul slumbers.
Attachment to form is our thought trigger,
so let’s hush it before it grows bigger,
for which once we shift into calm tranquil,
weakened ego can no longer sniggr,
having truly surrendered to God’s will.

Beyond the Evening Sky

Beyond the Evening Sky
David J Walker 

Wide open
	The pupils of the universe
Captures the imagination of the
Evening sky 
Nothing between the bare brown dirt of the Earth
And the heavens above 
the portal named Eternity 
Encumbers gentle true spirits reaching for 
Stored truths yet untold 
One by one
		The constellations come
Into view 
		A step beyond the 
Evening Sky

Masked Isolation

Fire lust of the angry clouds doth cover envy
To fork the stars upon my ever-changing view.
The crestling being i endure to hold of many
Foreign thoughts to translate a bonafide rue.

Carnival of lights leave me starstruck
In a haste no more than that of my gloom.
No one who knows of this life are stuck,
In a waste of bittersweet cloves that bloom.

As I sink down to the combers of lies
Nevertheless leaving my soul to him.
This monster of foreign carnage dries
To a crisp, no longer able to freely swim.

Finally feeling a soft touch upon my flesh,
Where is this pale longing rose of red I dread?
This flying repent of lustful notions is all I thresh.
Please let me fly with you in this land of the dead.

Denies of my request shows to me how I feel,
Still though, carrying me much higher and higher.
This resentful flock of gloomy encumbers peel
My skin I weary of angry clouds doth burn a fire.

Panther

I've read legendary tales that convey
an emerald eyed panther stalks its prey.
Hunger tells him it's meat he must crave
He consumes his kill within his dark cave.

He feasts and then peacefully slumbers
for three days before he again encumbers
the need to hunt for a deer or boar,
luring them with a treacly ambrosial roar.

In graceful motion, this wild cat slinks,
more luxuriously than a leopard or lynx.
Dragons have no fear of being his quarry,
but such a clash would make a great story.

On Country

Across Dhariwaa i, with my brothers have walked
as the teachings professed come to life, we experience
no more the exclusion from our cultural being are the leanings discarded
its time to be our own critical friends, to be cultural allies and advocates for our families
the time for dance, song and ceremony is dawning
time for learning on Dharriwaa is our obligation
our youth seek us, our Elders seek us, so we must now seek our roles in the learning, our roles on country to be placed, accepted, fostered and passed on
the experience of life in our cultural selves is inspiring
living two worlds as worlds is our priority
humbleness and honesty our way, encumbers us to extend to others
Dharriwaa will provide, and we we accept with pride and humility

I'Am Just a Sinner Saved By Unmerited Grace

Guess what?
I am not perfect
Yet you call me Brother Lee
I've fail again my God and thee
Yet He's forgiven me
For He lent His life hung on a tree;

And for this I'm thank-fully
grateful
did I say thank-fully

Don't you judge me
You have no heaven and hell for me
I've been forgiven 
Only thing good in me
Is
J E S U S

and His unmerited grace encumbers me..

Been bad
Yet, I've have also been good
But it's not totally depended on my good deeds
I've forgiven my brother's and sister's transgressions
For you see I to want to be forgiven

I am not perfect
Yet you call me Brother Lee
I've fail again my God and thee
Yet He's forgiven me
For He lent His life hung on a tree;

And for this I'm thank-fully
grateful
did I say thank-fully

For the only good in me
  Is God's breath, His breathe of life in me
For the only good in me
 Our His words I choose to receive..........

for thought I've fallen
yet I've gotten up
Now I stand before my sins
Washed in His blood
and now I AM a child of the King
Now I am truly forgiven
Don't you judge me
You have no heaven and hell for me
I've been forgiven 
Only thing good in me
Is
J E S U S

Marxism For Dummies 13

Mosaic tablets are not monoliths.
It all depends (despair, or last best hope?)
whatever end of Tocqueville’s telescope
you happen to be viewing.  One man’s myths

are gospels to another.  Freedom fighters,
or filthy terrorists?  A vexing ton
of evidence encumbers Lexington.
Our certain self-assertion might indict us.

A foreign army’s trampling our soil,
despoiling farms and cottages at will?
We’re justified (according, then, to Hoyle)
in using violence?  It’s never quite as
simple as they say, those righteous writers.
Is Dien Bien Phu so far from Bunker Hill?

Mans Origins

Man’s Origins
Searching for origins, from perhaps stars. (10)
Conclusive evidence, apes? (7)
Chaos, madness encumbers and it jars (10)
Religions poke presumptions (7)
Mythology, astrology, “too far!” (10)
Confounded naysayers, truths (7)
Leading absolutely nowhere, they mar (10)
Yet, faith, belief, knowing truth (7)
Journeying beyond, all seen, avatars (10)
And knowing goes full circle (7)
Our universe sings with divine sitars (10)

You'D Never Heal

All you took went in your bottle 
The energy is full throttle 
All those feelings mixed together 
Will explode on the road of the nether 

Never thought you’d let them leave 
It’s happened but you can’t believe 
That the damage has all been done 
And the pain is yet to stain the sun 

Now you see why you must vent 
Half of what’s said is ever meant 
The other half reflects your age 
Embrace what can misplace rage 

Release all that encumbers 
In the greatest of numbers 
And tell the trusted what’s wrong 
Because life is brief, but grief is long 

So don’t conceal 
How you feel 
Or you will peel 

Your emotions 
Mixed with potions 
Cause erosions 

You’d never heal

Rendezvous On a Star

Let me carry you to a waiting star,
With this kiss on your lips, we’ll reach that far
Leave behind all that encumbers your soul
On pristine whiteness with me take a stroll

Hold my hand as I lead you to a place
Where you ‘ll be blanketed in love’s embrace
There is no echo and no living sound
As you and I tumble down to the ground

This rendezvous star is for you and me
There’s no one else our love making to see
We sprinkle stardust as we toss and turn
Temperatures rise as the star starts to burn

The small earth is millions of miles away…
On this throbbing star, forever…please  stay…

Eileen Manassian Ghali

A Single Candle

Coping with a prognosis,
for some seems difficult,
but a flicker of hope
lingers in my heart.

Viewing death as devastating
is tantamount to snuffing
the inner candle,
a prelude to heaven’s glorious light.

Even as pain encumbers our abilities,
muddling our sense of reason,
bask in the glow of optimism
that earthly life is but a passage.

Through the tunnel we see a beam
that resonates through our souls.
A single candle illuminates
the path to eternal salvation.

When the Colors Fade

my spirit hovers in a land without color

only shadows between dark and light

in youth the hues were vibrant

but now there are only forms in shades of boldness

oh, to bring the color back into my world

perhaps a magical return to childhood

you offer roses; their outlines I see

but they blend in with the untinted scenery

what was green

   what was red

      what painted the sunset...

this beauty I no longer see

since you left my side

and loneliness encumbers me

The Expanse of Nothingness

This victim of self like a snake
Broken heart to devour my pride
And then what coils around will awake
Ouroboros eating his lies

This hero of truth like a trance
All black and white in this haze
Where my sword in the darkness will dance
Behind my shield I dream for days

This hatred for life like a game
Noisy conflict unfolding the scenes
And within each of the players a pain
Now their silence gives birth to teams

This wisdom of love like a dare
Will I speak of such deep disease
When what I am is too much to bare?
On the edge and with no release

This painting is not a man
Nor child, not even real
I am the constantly changing sands
And there is nothing I can not feel

I will become every fall
I awake to remember the words
That encumbers the many tall
And have silenced all those that heard

This truth can not change its rhyme
Only reflect on those that hide
And the heart ever heeds the signs
Drawn to the changes within the tides

Succumb

My edgings they are shorn
and trails of truth are knife,
a country sad is born
with each new righteous height!

That definition's strife
encumbers with remorse
were joy the once delight
now singulates conform!

That hedging rules the storm
were once a solemn trite
so far above is from
that minister of fright!

I look for chances glean
a yesterday still rung,
the spirits only dream
the altar's of unsung!

Democracy perverts, 
that once my vestige clung
and opposition flirts
but kindling with among!

How strong the arc becomes
that witnessed extrovert
and yet the method brung
extols to so subvert!

Through entities disserve
a marginal outcome
the profiteer's reserves
unlimit life's succumb!
