Love isn't something you find.
Love is something that finds you.
I can’t say exactly why I write
Beyond the physiology
Or why a fish swims
Or where an ocean feeds --
All a great mystery
Of crops and weeds --
As I wish the world well fed
Every child with a safe, warm
Bed.

A breeze just passed
A Whisper of sorts
On its way due west
I believe
If lesson or intensify
One must know prevailing
Currents
A Child just passed
Blew on by, with energy
Of youth -- prevailing currents
Little matter -- no one knows
The breath of a heart....
Just saying.
Maybe praying.
I don't know.
I hope my feelings never show.
Do I care.
Again I say, should I dare.
Pain.
Stain.
What do I have left to gain.
I lift my head.
Don't bow instead.
Think a good thought
Lessons taught.
Step above the strife.
Live my life.
My best is all I can do.
So true.
To lift myself above.
Fill my heart with love.
Dry the tears.
Embrace my fears.
I stand thankful for my years.
Life has been rough.
Tough.
Made me who I became.
Life is to blame.
Just the same.
Life has gave me
From what I see.
Exactly what I have put in.
An adventure it has been.
All the memories in my mind.
Time has left behind.
Life's little gift.
Will give my heart a lift.
Times to come .
Separate myself from.
Anything that brings forth my sad.
I follow the glad.
Not the bad.
Peace of mind.
I find.
That's where joys found.
Where I'm bound.
See you there.
All you have to do is care.
That's fair.
Behind every person’s soul,
a universe quietly resides.
And I still find it strange
that despite that cosmic brilliance,
we circle back to fixate
on surface-level, fleeting things.
Things that could never touch
the depth of our own true radiance.
We never notice our own
beauty—isn’t that beautiful?
"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12.
what you did for her
be ready to get it now
you so have had it
Never say never, they say
What about forever, can I afford
To stay exactly the same today
As yesterday and before?
Or was it the other day
With exactly the same you
We were walking along the bay
That was the best we could do
And a few days back, when the sun
Was dazzling over the shore
I thought now my life seems done
It can’t be this good anymore
Never say never, why not?
What does it change, when said?
Anyway the weather from boiling hot
Will turn to the soaking wet.
In the quiet now,
Dreams align with present peace—
Here, where I belong.
Ethyl an elusive mermaid and queen of the see
Met a similar designed butterfly named Laura Lee
You look familiar, your colors are exactly like me
Butterfly did not reply, merely, flitted out over the sea.
While circular area's moot
3/14 math groupies salute
Approximate pi
Which helps us get by
Since squares within rounds don't compute
Trying to imagine
And then have to contextualize
If it was to be in fact possible
Being able to or possess the ability
To cryogenically freeze
And so preserve myself
After my actual death
I was medically pronounced dead
Then what exactly ?
What happens then ?
1 day in however many years
Doesn't really matter in the future
I am defrosted and woken up
Into what kind of world and existence
And who is awaiting me
My family , friends
And where do I return to my house , home
What exactly , who , where am I
And to me it is exactly at this very point
Reality fully dawns on me and I realize
The consequence of my action
And I probably wish I was dead
Rather than be alive
As this is not my life
I had and did live
And this unfortunately
Is anything but
She is eclectic
What is that exactly?

I remained clueless
today in traffic someone yelled “act your age lady”.
He does not know me.
I am acting my age.
What other age could I possibly act?
It made no sense to me whatsoever.
I stuck out my tongue and gave him a finger gesture
that was not a wave.
I could be mature but chose not to.
Ok then
Ever so desperately needy seeking attention
I'll give you exactly
14 Minutes and 59 Seconds
Beginning from now
Then I want spotlight directly back on me
It's s mine all mine
You hear me , I will have you know
I am the actual real true shinning star
And that is why I am always permanently
on show as it can't go ahead without me
Because there is no 1 in this world quite
like me
So hush and settle down please my multiple
award winning live in person 1 man show is
shortly about to begin
Whilst outside the ticket seller cries
Tickets , Tickets anyone want some free
tickets any seat's you wish or want in the
Theater to see
DELUSIONAL
1 poor misguided souls version or
unwanted belief In their own
self importance
Well what exactly is it you
want
Or would like me to do
?
Well how's about you kindly just try
listening to me for a
Start
Or in fact are those ears attached to
either side of your head
Merely esthetic ornamental and placed
there just for show
?

At very least

My niece Kayleigh
A beautiful selfless soul
Simply asked me how I was doing
When she herself was at her own
lowest point
So what exactly was her crime
Being to nice caring to much wondering
about others to much
And why on earth should she be the
1 who has to change so as to accommodate
others such as this
And even I sadly had to hold my hands
up
Because she asked me not the other way
around
So that makes her in reality so much
better than even I
And me asking her then after the fact
Just proves the initial point I think I
was trying to make in the 1st place
Actions speak louder than words
Some people speak and receive little
credit
Whereas some good folk do and yet
they don't
