Digest the Foundations

Don't let my hope die down
although i know it was mine
to begin with
And the moon is praying
yet some see Elijah bestrode back in town
but I'm an old sinner
too old for my years
not knowing who would emerge
from the gloomy vale 
I rode away
to see the harbour's light dim
but still I think of outside
where all the pain was

Foundations

5AM the haywire of light
you've framed the vista 
from your frosty window
Stacked sachets  of cos lettuces
ponder for an outcome growth
Whence the day of blossom

Salvation is always a cost
Once you rode the world
but now you're part of the pack
eager for their morsels

Talk is easy
like hanging fire
Blackened clichés parade
You straddle the foundations
for the fear of listening 
to your own sage
unfold in your mind!

Human Being As Pattern

I
What grabs human attention?
The same things that bats & birds attend
"What's moving," not what's at peace, still
"The dangers," not the rest of vast sea
"Foreground," not Foundations, 'background'
So too, with space and sky, we see light, not space

II
Like bat, bird, tables - we are molecules
Molecular structure cannot be The Human
Though we share chemicals, particles, atoms
The You is a pattern, recognized even as U grow
Change your body, hair, teeth, face, inside weekly
The waves that oscillate as your life, is You
Not your beautiful face or height, or smile. Smile!

Foundations

Abode is not supported in house foundations but  in family ties      ...

Foundations

The house I wrote in
became an apartment for the ocean,
then a zoo for the innocently maladjusted,
then a garden for dreaming cats,
then floor-space - just floor space
to walk back and forth on.
The room I find these words in,
these metaphors, these bewilderment’s
of a younger blood,
flood me
now in my condo-maze-ment,
my spindle-boned easement.
Once I was a simile, similar
to something else, a green fracture,
the unseasoned sap of an analogy,
now I am upholstered, a place
roomy enough
for returning younger words,
their brain dizzying songs.
revisiting, unearthed,
as if they had just come to me,
and had not been arriving
from abandoned living-spaces,
from the forgotten foundations
of elsewhere.

Foundations I

LIFE RHYTHMS PULSE.
ITS HIDDEN GEOMETRY
ENGINEERING INTRICATE PLANS...

A GUIDING HAND
LIES DIVINE PLANS...
WE FLY INTO THE FACE OF
A PERFECT GOD...

Curl into bitter tears
And sink into earths cryptic sphere.

LIFE BEGINS ANEW PULSING IT'S
CYCLE...BUILDING IT'S FOUNDATIONS OF
GRAND GEOMETRY.

Foundations

... she had nothing much to give as she searched her pockets for gratitude, selfless gifts had made her journey so much easier than she could have ever longed for, invaluable presents from a passionate heart and she looked at the inscription in the ageing tree of her childhood an arrow of love on the cinnamon bark of tomorrow that always looked to become a distant past, a couple of bows tied around the trunk, now faded and torn beyond recognition, all that was left was words of kindness, a sincere apology and farewell to becoming an aspiration beyond her wildest dreams ...

my tree of kind life
planted roots of compassion
you gave me your wings

Our Foundations

There was a time when we were children
when we loved everyone…indiscriminately…
when we were pouring the foundation 
of who we, one day, hoped to be.
 
Mixed into the foundation
of who we hoped to be
were the beginnings of a dream
of the world we hoped to see.

When our foundation was completed…when it dried
there we hoped to find 
a house built on acceptance
on being loving, compassionate and kind.

But when we looked around us
at the diversity of our world…and of our nation
we found every house was not built 
upon the same foundation.

And we came to understand and appreciate
what many before us have known:
How every house, no matter the foundation
has a beauty all its own.

And so our dream amidst such diverse foundations 
is that everyone will come to find
a world that is accepting
that is loving, compassionate and kind.

Which is why, as adults, we are so sad today…
when we see so much hate
when we kill each other so indiscriminately…
and we wonder when did our world turned into
the world we never dreamed that it would be.

Fractured Foundations

Fractured Foundations

Do not expect longevity from poorly poured, ill-formed foundations.
Many changes occur, cause it to crackup and the building will lean.
Select quality materials for yourself, at the beginning.

What are you building your foundation on,
Solid Rock, or quicksand?

A foundation built on solid rock has staying
power, withstanding the test of time.

Contrarily, a foundation built on
quicksand is never steady.
It does not matter how quickly you build
upon it or how much you build:
Every piece of your foundation gets
devoured by the quicksand, and
rather quickly at that.

Some will spend a lifetime
in blood, sweat and tears building a
foundation on quicksand.
They go on, either not realizing, 
or refusing to acknowledging that they are
building on something that was never meant
to be built upon from the very beginning.

Therefore again I say,

What are you building your foundation on,
Solid Rock, or quicksand?

Solid Foundations -Psalm 17: 5

Walking alone in this world
not knowing right step to take
the surface can be very slippy
indeed you can fall if you brake

We all need a solid foundation
one that is trustful and true
holding you close and real secure
having calm and peace forever new

This is found only in God almighty
strong to save the beacon of light
shining forcefully in your life
makes you standing strong to fight

In His mercy and abiding grace
your footsteps don’t slip or slide
they are held fast in His grip
you can truly in your Lord confide

This is your abiding true testimony
that your anchor is eternally sure
trust and obey your sure foundation
so in Christ you’ll always endure

('My steps have held fast to your paths;
   my feet have not slipped.') Psalm 17: 5 (ESV)

God and Nature Are Foundations In Each Soul

God And Nature Are Foundations In Each Soul
( Sestina Sonnet) (Number 5)


God and Nature give me such sweet release,
as both seep quite deeply into my soul.
Joined in this melding we race on carefree
and we in our wisdom dance two by two.

My life now consists of love of we two,
holding the joys in being so carefree.
Days and nights bring on our hottest release,
together build stronger each longing soul.

Nature and God live in a seeking soul,
creating scenarios for release.
Bathed in true light, they create sets of two,
with beloved brought pairs that are carefree.

God and Nature are foundations in each soul.
Man's quest should be to find divine release.

Foundations

I used to be an open foundation
Unbounded by walls
But firm where I stood
With light shone upon me

You came along 
And stacked the bricks one by one
Shutting out the light
Trapping the darkness inside

My change went unnoticed
For you saw the light
Peaking through the windows
Where you wanted me to be seen

What I truly needed, however,
Was someone to take me apart
Piece by piece
Letting the light back in

It wasn't until you left
That I realized the windows weren't enough
And I left myself vulnerable
To anyone ready to take me apart

I am now an open foundation
Unbounded by walls 
Firm where I stand
With light shone upon me

Foundations

I watched you walk into the company cafeteria, staring at the ready made food under plastic

Selecting something green and healthy, the choice of a fluffy long eared herbivore

And cradling a glass of grey brown juice squeezed from a plant unpronounceable, shredded elastic

And then choosing a solo table, kicking off your shoes, pressing bare feet onto polished concrete floor.
