Filtered Through Consciousness

like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander
the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind
leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process

I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth that came to me
giving only the morsels that manage to

Puzzled

You ask why I chose you.
I thought you knew!
I chose you like clean air
Because you refreshed my existence
I chose you like the ocean
Because you regulated the climate of my spirit

I chose you like the sun
Because you nourished my heart’s daily routine
I chose you like the soil
Because you filtered the waters of my life that keep

Sense

Serenity is to know what's right'
Eyes that peer in, beyond what's seen'
Nurturing our feelings with no regrets contrite.
Sensing the world, with consciously culled delight.
Exploring touch, smell, taste in ways foreseen.

Filtered Words

Stuck in a world of filtered words, 
groomed to embrace this terminology;
Symbols and acronyms; 
Where does that leave a wild wordsmith ?
Gazing at shallow eroded shores 
under stars no one can really see 
longing for the deepest of waters; 

Bottom of the surface touch,
always it seems just out of reach 

Black and white butterfly 
in

Filtered Distorted Reality

Life lessons….
You’re not ready to experience life,
If you haven’t experienced life.
That doesn’t mean the past’s the future.
It tends to be the future for seen by the past.

Respect is the first rule.
The next is to forget the first rule if they never respect you.
1+1=2
1+1=11 if they bleed the same way as you.

Equation aside, it’s do or

Filtered Springs Fall

Don't be deluded to think I am wrong 
because some of it in reality is right 

Sad sorrowful souls misunderstand the greatness of Mercy 
Feeling wounds draws us to His Passion 

You pierce this heart with gentle loving forgiveness 
words recalled that sin is a double edged diamond knife 
which cuts deep where we love

Only When the Sand Is Filtered Out Can the Gold Be Found

Don't say that slander is as dangerous as a deep torrent
And people who’re banished sink forever like sediment. 
Although with painstaking filtration the panning is bound, 
Only when the sand is filtered out, can the gold be found.

Filtered

When I was a kid, we would act
With what we were taught was called tact.
If we did forget
What happened, I’d bet
Was that we would get yelled at or smacked.

But sometimes, we’d simply react
And want to blurt out what, in fact,
Was the way that we’d feel
Which would likely reveal
Thoughts that possible might get attacked.

Bewildered and Filtered

Bewildered and Filtered

Trump seems so sad and bewildered;
Down from heaven heard have filtered,
Perturbing pain,
And weight gain;
By us as President will not be revered.

Filtered Thoughts

The rational mind
  this contained receptacle of thought
  allowed, restrictive, forbidden or prohibitive release,
still functions in both light and dark; 
  silent but unrestrained progressive thinking,
  curbed by the mouth, lips and any vulgar release;
random, foolish, condemning images
  prevail despite law, threat, incarcerated restrictions,
  contrived interpretations or intimidated

Filtered Vision

I can't get the image of her out of my mind
Her sweeping fringe covering her eyes that are unfathomably green
My lungs burst with sadness and desperation
Fish circle me like death
Eyes that watch
Ears that listen
Mouths that scream
Her her HER
I scream and water passes through my black lifeless lips

Saturated Filthiness Filtered

Saturated filthiness filtered
Through faded lines
And often wrong horoscopes
I make my own destiny
Keep your wordy predictions
To yourself
