Shifting Foundations
We've built walls where bridges could be,
Painted skies with the dull gray of "should be"
Instead of the wild colors of "could be."
Look around you
What do you call a failure?
What do you name success?
Who taught you these definitions,
And did you ever question the test?
We pour ourselves into vessels others crafted,
Then wonder why we feel contained.
Society isn't

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

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

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

Like bat, bird, tables - we are molecules
Molecular structure cannot be The Human
Though we share chemicals, particles, atoms

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

Foundations of Marriage
“Love, Trust, and Forgiveness are the foundations of marriage."
In marriage, many days will bring happiness, while other days may be sad. But together, two hearts can overcome everything…
In marriage, all of the moments won’t be exciting or romantic, and sometimes worries and anxiety will be overwhelming. But together, two hearts that accept will find comfort

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

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

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

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.
