As the Snow falls by the lake
A white sheen it has to forsake
But the blueness of the water so still
That trickles and yet still turns the mill wheel
The shining figure that was once a tree
By the water’s edge growing wild and free
However, its branches now all covered in white
And makes for a ghostly sight at night
The surrounding ground a carpet no less
As the Snow lies, quite thick I guess
To walk by the lake, a wilderness dream
Which looks and feels so quiet and serene
Its Christmas time and all that entails
Now’s the time that Frogs and Snails
Disappear to their winter retreat
Out of sight and mind, that’s kinda neat
Once the Lake freezes over it’s on with the skates
And off we go me and all my mates
Though it’s cold who cares, were free
The Snows no barrier to them and me
A scene as picturesque as this
Caught early morning as the Sun has kissed
The rippling water and the lands surrounding glean
Quite a sight, nature’s special sheen
You have to admit that the online world is one of competition
You have to seriously stand out to gain popularity and recognition
To create and design applications that grabs at the heart of the people
This is a task and a responsibility that would only seem simple
You have to have the time and the staff to be able to do so
You would need the money and willing sponsors for the growth
Let's not mention the reviews and opinions of others as well
You would also need a couple of in-app purchases to help it sell
Staying on top of all the registered complaints is also what it entails
Being smart enough to have a back up plan if it isn't successful enough
To be a top notch app developer, man it must be tough.
The day has finally come
Learn what was and what will become
A small injection that could change lives
With hope and prayer that she thrives
So much depends on this injection
To feel content without any rejection
To make those bipolar voices disappear
And her personality to reappear
The thoughts and voices driving her down
For months no smiling only a frown
Negativity flooding from every pore
This little thing could open a new door
All I need is for her to be safe
A promising outlook without the chafe
A happy and healthy women
And not sink this far mentally again
This type of medication is the last hope
Something that we both need to cope
I do not know what to do if this fails
Or what to do with all it entails
But I’m willing to let myself believe
In order to let myself feel relieved
Fingers crossed this is the answer
Without it is like living as a chancer
I’ve pinned my hopes on this
With hopes and dreams that can be bliss
This is just a small piece of the puzzle
But a giant leap forward in the struggle
Questions rolled through my meek emotive drift.
No answer quick aided my bleak heart rift.
Was this just my intended soul growth hit
or aimed as her fear and faith lesson kit?
Could this drama be a shared karma script?
The same tree roots nurtured us until grown.
The same backdrop displays memories sown.
Never had our love absorbed a sharp tone.
Unconditional love has always shown.
Damn the man for using my love for her
as a hush guarantee bound to occur.
She may never know a heart saboteur
growls beneath his displayed domestic purr.
I knew I must forgive the man some day
but first I wished God to direct my way.
My senses listened for a vibe array.
In time, spirit flashed an answer display - -
For now her growth entails false lived merry
over emotions heavy to carry.
Acceptance released all held contrary.
As for the ass, he’s at karma’s mercy.
Autogynephilic males,
with all that entails,
doll up their faces,
invade women’s spaces.
It’s all about power
to make the gals cower.
Your nemesis, Rowling
just keeps up the trolling.
Yet surely you jest
with hair on your chest;
attempt to assert
in heels and a skirt,
but try though you try,
that Y ~ you’re a guy.
Success is no accident
It entails hard work
Clear consistent approach
Open to productive learning
Accept continuous studying
Working with unrelentless sacrifice
Most of all, enjoy the process
And love the things of what you do.
A thousand lives, a million fears,
tremulous smiles and painful tears,
we sip the brew, which is now stale,
bound to ego, who at us leers.
We fight for freedom tooth and nail,
yet demons we conjured assail.
Assuming the rope is a snake,
no wonder then, we’re doomed to fail.
Silence gives consciousness a shake,
so that we may here now awake
but this entails we must let go
of attachments held, though they’re fake.
Thoughts orbiting both friend and foe,
are put at rest, for we now know,
all that’s manifest is a dream,
recognised in staid stillness slow.
Ephemeral is a moonbeam
or gusts of lust we choose to steam,
being but shimmers in the void,
which ego holds in high esteem.
For far too long we have been toyed
by dark desires and so decoyed
but since we’ve chosen to be still,
illusions conjured are destroyed.
Simply by surrendering will,
we do nothing, yet dark voids fill,
with divine light, that lights all lights,
making easy ascent uphill.
*The glory*
The beginning of a milky infant
Every step we take ends on a soaking, softness of a wool
Dratch in the mud of tenderness
As times goes by we get to a ring of race
Embalmed with a *circle of fire*
No one dears to take the course!
"Ahhh! is this how it will end?"
Many times our thoughts wander off
Far deep into the desert of unyielding imaginations
Yes! By that time we had realized what the race entails
We are just a detail in the hands of the *great emperor*
Our thoughts far from the one we had from the start
By then we know about life.
All the budding began to wane
There's but one thing that saves
Never let distraction make a fool of you
Never yield to the distressing tears of life.
Keep moving forward
In the *isle* lies your glory
#The King's daughter
Call me Joe
I do not take pleasure in seeing the Joe Bidden
in the throes of senility, those who pushed him
into running, knew he was not sharp
he was always the company man
did their work
From what I know about this man
"Call Me Joe" was about a nasty man who
suffered low grades at school, but he had
the cunning of fools voting for those
who could make his life better
Tus he rise in power as a man to
be rusted
and we know what that entails
AI did trust him implicitly, owned them
many favors I blame Obama, who
who joined the have classes as soon as he could
with swimming pools and dubious sex
he also bears a unified hatred of the white
a shade lighter, damn it.
The elite of the USA are pushing America
into a war where working people will die
fighting perceived freedom while they
luxuriate in the Bahamas
We have a man, a Vulgarian, and as
Chas Freeman said about hi, the clock is
right, this might be his moment of truth
As for Joe Biden, only Israel might mourn
his passing
The New World
Why do we write a lovely poem
when they are not reflecting the world
brutal and stark as it is
there will be no Putin, Zelensky or Biden
in his rocking chair
reading a poem jumping up and saying
the poet is right, let us bring peace
We know what providence entails
it is time to clear the deck
and kill millions of people, to give space
for a new beginning
until humanity thinks they are gods
when atheism, self-regard, destroy
the cohesion between the spirituality
of the god of the universe
and humankind

Acquiring a partner soul entails a careful dive,
In calm depths, their true nature comes alive.
Only then do waves prevail, twisting their prey,
Can we track a hint of empathy in society today?
All life begins below; we are just on the surface,
It's a labyrinth of anxiety, a bay of turbulence.
The objective is to grasp peeves and apprehensions,
Despite dread, we will learn to swim via emotions.
Shadows, depths, and darkness intertwine,
We drift along in the current, seeking our line.
We bear the weight of their weary waves,
They share their aches and abet safe paves.
Yet it was a deep gaze, not one of shallowness,
Stepping into another's universe, fallowness.
To appreciate their journey and their plight,
Let's embrace depth to find peace in the night.
So, we'll all jump into the same pit in tandem!
Where does the wind lie, where truth is random?
Down memory lane, in a passionate embrace,
Can we utterly claim to comprehend your grace?

Life entails success over stress without distress
Inviting the moon, even if missed, leads to stars
Filling a dream, the soul is stronger than all else
Evolving delight and trust provide you the best
How box and cupboard
Amazing mousetrap entails
A mind bewildered.
Not far away on the planet Venus
Exists Ra One consciousness
Where hearts are love inked
All minds entwined with oneness
No wonder then God Himself winked
To put matters in the right perspective
In our present state of evolution
We are in the third density
Whilst Ra One is an octave higher
Radiating love and light is their propensity
So what will it take for us to become as them
All it entails is a shift from head to heart
Seeing God in each and every form
Vaporising ego that we behold light of Self
Employing free will to meld with love’s bliss storm
Simplicity in life, reduces stress
Icicles hang upon the heart
Of those who are plighted
With desserts spelled backwards
With no end in sight
Choose simplicity in life
As along those well-traveled roads
You have to pass
A Cadillac is no better than other cars
Nor of people Gucci dressed
A meal can be soup and sandwich
You get what you need
Add some fruit for dessert
It is bound to fit what your food
Allowance entails
Living in the fast lane
Doesn't have to be your fate
Try to make a left turn
And find saving Grace
A small town, out of the way place
Look for ease in living
A calm home to come to
At the end of the day
Say Grace at the table
Have room for Him in your heart
