Dear Luna,
I marvel at your expansiveness
I know you are not braggadocio,
but do you realize most of us
cannot be in a plethora of places simultaneously?
There is an ethereal feel to you
You help humans fall in love
you inspire us to write songs and poetry
You are part of our “happily ever after”
This missive is written in appreciation
I want you to know that you are loved
not by hundreds, but by millions.
Thank you for always being there for us.
Sincerely,
One of your admirers
he does not mean to throw his beauty around
he does it without knowing
he is the peacock
a spirit animal
representing
prestige
expansiveness
vision
confidence
and
magnificence
a visionary

Of Infinity
Source and aim is ... vast consequence,
Wherefore controls ... take prominence,
Greek's Alpha meant ... primal ascends,
Omega states ... constants transcends,
Cause steadfast edge ... oppositeness,
Expansiveness ... span conscienceless,
Space an abstract ... not concreteness,
Wander spirits ... lodged comprehends,
Source and aim is,
Between the two ... points wantonness,
License demands ... subconsciousness,
Omnipresent ... joined broad bookends,
Christ's the answer ... prize providence,
Infinity ... stretched mixed strengthens,
Source and aim is,

From Mastadonian timelessness
Thru Neolithic mankindliness
Past icy agey instances
Cave-ember dream sequences
Animal carcass sustenances
Tribal ritual religiousness
Guttural language utterances
Savage native dominances
Eking marginal existences
Toward era-ending extinguishes
To Nomadic brutal homelessness
Under cracking cultural bridginess
Under societal forgetfulness
Under Military expansiveness
Governmental negligences
A congenital hopelessness
Constitutional vagariousness
Evolutionary pervasiveness
Solitary survivalness
That’s my piece of boniness
My tent reeks of holiness
On the edge of precariousness...
Reflections of desire
Multiply in plethoric bounty
A multitude of choices
Impending all around me
We are intuitive
Our colors empower
Life’s choices shielding
Unconsciously yielding
Generated by our psyche
Meanings an underlining
Such interpretations
Permeate color creations~
With heavenly skies
Dark Indigo Blue
Releasing calmness
Triumphant and true
The admiration of earthy green
Bestowing within….a grounded will
Inner powers creating the thrill
Bold ravenous crimson red
Persuading a compelled sensuality
Willing such glandular vitality
Cheerful yellow shows indivisible hope
Anxiety releasing its restricted glows
Unlimited expansiveness seethes and shows
A mixture of red and blue turning violet
Magical mystical enchantment within
Striking captivation is violets mission
Panicles require a branchy Brown stem
Sexual inhibitions dark yellow and red
Brown forbids pain ameliorated and fed
Black our desolate color of harmony
Bleeding out an imprudent blight
An end to sorrow~ Black veils fright~
