Premium Member Facing Decrepit Stage Courageously
Becoming decrepit is an inevitable occurrence Challenging wellness of its real consequence Oldness evidently attacks, confronting my denial’s insistence… Now, I must be ready midst time's persistence To face frailty courageously with joyous iridescence! Undoubtedly obvious Physical debility shows how life is precious Prodding me to value moments, being cautious Warning me that I can be both anxious and oblivious… Thus; my strength...

Premium Member BURN THROUGH THE WALL
Are you still left wondering what is holding you back? What continues to keep you floundering in pain and lack? What could possibly have the power to hold you down? So completely covered in emptiness, you fear you will drown. Is it the dark past mistakes you have carelessly made, Keeping you troubled and in confusion, in tears and afraid? What...

Premium Member On the Cusp of Facing Up
There's a faint light beaming up through the cracks in everything that has the answers. I stand on the edge peering in, facing up to the risk of failing, falling in, on the cusp of not looking away. No thunder rolls, no curtain calls, for the silence between breaths, blinks, and heartbeats holds the final bluff and dare, as toes reach over...

COMMUNITY CONVERSATION
Some say crucify him Many said enslave him Others said neglect him Few said let's hear from him They never wanna listen to his messages. Some say let's rectify him Many said let's edify him Others said let's glorify him Few said no let's nail him Now some can relate But they don't want his rule. He's always prepare Ready to fight for his right Defending his personality...

Premium Member Facing a Siberian Tiger
Siberian tiger, striped, brave and strong She covered my entire car, ten feet long Six hundred and sixty pounds turned and stared me down I ran until I reached the edge of the very next large town You were never in danger, a voice said in my head. He’s just a big pussy, a pet of your weird old neighbor...

Premium Member Facing Poverty
If I went barefoot for a lifetime, shoes would be pointless. Toes ate board, concrete, grassland, shoreline. Me, Tarzan to pedicurist! ~ was poor but didn’t own it. ~ Text-book believers trembled at anomalies as cats dreading water. Drooling high-schoolers rated us backward and poor ...

Facing Time
Do you ever think about others Who've been in your shoes How many have suffered Not knowing the truth Theres choices we make Struggles some face We do what it takes Consequences to pay Some act & don't think They'll ever be caught Days turn to weeks Behind bars you'll rot Some people will say There's things we'll regret Then...

Premium Member Transforming Histories
Touch, translucent, delicate and sparse, Awareness fleeting and fragile; Treasure of treasures, Lo and mark, Seeker born quick and agile. Peripheral only, inward glancing, Laughing at clumsy gestures of life. Around, yet beyond, in silhouette dancing Coalescing at times into strife. I, but a dalliance at your disposal, Significant only in ego's arousal; Clinging to fringes as bee's to aroma, Dancing as mules in the...

Facing The Raging Wind
If possible, don't complain about fate Get rid of the sadness and the pains The wind will blow it away Life is short, love is not enough Why bother for a minute in the sun If possible, please release your heart Living selflessly strong in the midst of life Because I still know that giving is forever Self-sufficient mind will be relaxed If...

Eyes Facing Forward New Year
A lot can be said, on the subject of future events Stock market numbers measured against Viable companies, yield plentiful profits CEOs heels grind into the shoulders of giants Progress is steady. According to plan No matter the outcomes for creatures or man All that we see has been staged and well versed Politicians demanding answers in rhetoric, rehearsed Much can...

Sailing
There are days when the water exhales softly, its glass surface holding the light like a promise, and my boat - once battered and splintered - glides steady, sails catching the wind at just the moment I need them to. The storms don’t forget me. They linger at the edges of the horizon, a dark smudge where sky and sea bleed into each other. I’ve stopped...
