ENTANGLED
Deep in meditation, I waited.
Breathing slow, soft and deep; I waited.
Then exploded on the inner screen
Such an image of the Divine Matrix
It took my breath away.
There sat I, alone, yoga posed and silent
And from my glowing body spanned
A multitude of galaxies, their cosmic webs and strands
Of multiplicitous energies, reaching away

Thursday Morning's Thoughts Expanded On Friday
Written by Gail DeBole
On October 12, 2023
Updated on October 13, 2023
These words that pour out from thoughts.
Randomly without making patterns, at first.
OK. Sometimes making random patterns.
Spurting out and mixing like
Ingredients for a batter.
Swirls like nothing else.
Until cohesive in my mind.
Maybe not in yours.
Meaning in my world.
Sometimes in yours.
Meaning that sometimes escapes me
Until a future epiphany

The Expanded Present
The individual in the inexorable flow of time,
certain miracles of nature never be the same.
Patterns of needs and response are created,
touching the mysteries of natures integrity related.
Revealing the whole of which one is part,
integral completeness as time perspective art.
If you are born at night your eyes eclipse the day,
full moon people are social light so

Defining Friendship - Expanded
Does it mean we are friends if I mirror your thoughts,
That we like the same jokes or our politics sing
A conventional melody?
Does the ground shake (we stand on) when boundaries slip,
When emotional dams burst, magnetic fields flip
As convection cells drift and my South becomes North
Or your North becomes South? Are we free men or slaves
To

Expanded Vocabulary
She said concretize
and her vocabulary
Typified my desire
for words
amorously.
Then I came
across boondoggle
and thought
hell no,
Not me
feed me every
word in your
dictionary
take me from
dilettante
to fait-accompli
Make me the greatest
of all time
if only in my mind
Her tongue
can use my mind
indiscriminately
to the point
of confessing
Ooo, I like that
and all manners
of Freudian slips
Her words
produce
bitten bottom lips
She is the ..it.

Windbound On Wassaksina - Expanded
I cannot lie, I’m not that spry
still angling is my game
but never had luck with walleye
pickerel by Ontario's name.
We're windbound on Wasaksina
waiting for the west wind to wane
We're windbound on Wasaksina
with walleye all to blame.
Wasaksina Lake up Temagami way
has a wicked western fetch
there's trout, pike and bass, but hey
was walleye we

Expanded Consciousness
Timeless experience
Precognating vivid dreams
Choices reality
Awareness goes through
Vibrant colors and sparkling orbs
Mingle around one
Thoughts transcend afar
Amplifying energy
Speed up creations
Foretell scenarios
Taking probable options
Obvious gratefulness
Breaking the barriers
Forbidden act to defy
Absolute freedom.

Apples, Expanded
Pretty blossoms in the spring
“Bob” for them at Halloween
BBQ cooked with the wood
Sauce, butter, juice – also good
Red, yellow, green - take your pick
Dipped in caramel on a stick
Sweet, sour, tart- taste to savor
Raw, bake, fry – lots of flavor
Cake, muffins, fritters - to try
The best of all is a pie
Yummy!

Forever Expanded
Each cool summer breeze
Sets the stage for something hot
Like loves engagement
Fun in the sun crazed
Develops such great delight
Each bright new day’s hour
Enlightens freedoms desires
Each night awakening fires
Summer flows ever quickly
Like fleeting poetry lines
Memories linger longer

Expanded Vision
upon the vast, vertical canvas;
footholds few and far between;
you're standing on a frail protrusion
face to the wall
staring
without encouragement
at one frozen frame
i jumped
and now i'm falling
i'm seeing the eternal flow
through only my eyes
but the image moves;
a silent bolt of lightning
so believe not the completion
your single dead pixel alludes to
i jumped
and now i'm falling;
there

Fruitless Buds (Expanded Triolet)
Stars adrift on wicked laughter
dance amidst these April nights.
Fragile, pristine alabaster
stars adrift on wicked laughter.
Tumbling, twirling falling faster
asterisms cool and white.
Stars adrift on wicked laughter
dance amidst these April nights.
Buds bow down to frozen masters
claiming spring as if their right.
What becomes of fruits hereafter
buds bow

Expanded
I have dreamt of magnolia fields
Glistening beneath summer clouds,
Where childish fascination meets reality,
And it is so much more.
Aspirations clung to watermelon vines
And filled the air with persuasive appeal.
Yet, beyond these striking moments of clarity
There is much more.
So I exaggerated and expanded
My existence until the froth
Was
