Echoes of wandering cares, mask;
True ego of expectant filming time,
Peeping to view wonder's raw face...
Maybe or not it could actuate light
Tears aspire to laugh over or embrace.
Prayers of guise shame put up task;
Heart never wish to visit each price,
Let alone kick off its sacrificial start...
To redeem the lost shining chance
Of helpless ruling lordships apart.
Echoes of powerless armour, mask;
Jesters hiding their tongues' prime
Of valuable words held tightly still...
While strongly growing up a fight,
Only litrates could space cum quill.
Tumbling but gearing tears, dare task;
The portraying parrots, crying so nice
Of beaming intent touches- as of mind
Driving consciousness through trance...
To never unveil but remain rather blind.
Around the world
There are happenings
Events and Disturbances
Right here at home, Poets are gearing up on their journey of life experiences through their writing
Mindset in so many ways
Passing the days gone by
Emotions surging
Cries into shouts
Needing ears to listen and understand
Words to express
Poets being their own Commentators
As words turn
The mind explores
As highways accelerate
Words become dramatic
Active and aware
60 Minutes Swirl
Of Life and Death
Before death's ominous thunder clouds appear
to steal all the glory and fill us with fear I shout to the heavens in a request to sustain one man's life to live another day
Inevitably high waters shall rise and slowly fade as I gain momentum to see another day
Of survive I fight
a peaceful outcome
I pray
As the hurricane fades in all its cunning ways
[]
For, heaven shall call each soul upon the wind
Within the grand design
Our Lord has spoken again
Gearing up and heading out
Lookng back at yesterday
I Filter through each memory
A picture-book
of who I am today
With great faith and gratitude
I bow at Gods strength

Governed by technological greatness
Gearing with gigabytes catering to all generations
Groomed am I, 5G, to handle gargantuan task globally…
Girded for high-speed connectivity yon information gathering
Granting mankind growth and progress midst mobile ecosystem-glow.
Grateful to God* for grace that advances giftedness, functionally grand
Guided with genuine responsibility and accountability-goodness
Gladly, greeting guys and gals along facts, realistically grasped
Gripped am I with gallant “Fourth Industrial Revolution” goal
Guarded around golden rule, sans greediness’ glitches.
*1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Night falls and morning calls
Puppets gearing for a play
By the sway of their master's fingers
For how would you expect a puppet to sleep and think?
December 31, 2023, 3:13 AM, PST, SPC
Ringing shouts of work day rush
Echoing like morning hush
White smoke, rising above
To the clouds as white as dove
School children gearing to learn
All the wisdom they can earn
While the sun is on the rise
It shines bright for all the wise
On the mountains of Langka Two
Planting deeds are going through
Sweet potato digging
Warmth of money stinging
On the road, here and there
Sound of bikes everywhere
Perilous travel being done
To the mountains of Langka One

Here at my bangkag
The Vikings battle cry was ferocious and ear piercing.
Autumn woman applied her paints as she heard them enter her forest.
She was ready to rip them from stern to stem.
The gods were on her side, she felt her power animals gearing up.
Elk gave her a nod, raccoon took his place beside the worn-out oak stump.
Hawk and raven flew in, at the ready.
Autumn woman knew the Vikings would be
Surprised.
Few armies can annihilate a ferocious army.
But she and her animals could and often did.
She silently crept through the forest,
Killing them one by one.
Graduation
Limbs that quake with nerves
Soon stiffen.
An extended arm, poker straight,
Leads her across the stage
Slowly and gracefully
To the next, unwritten page of her life.
She wields her knowledge
As her writing tool
And begins to jot out the future.
Heartbreak
Love that no longer lingered
In that tired, battle-worn heart,
Was soon replaced by the heaviness
Of dark, wet cement,
Hardening and grounding her.
In that scarred heart,
Love could find new ways to bloom,
Chipping away at the cement
To form some beautiful sculpture.
Pandemic
How much longer?
Fervor is festering within the walls,
Confined in small space,
Gearing up to burst.
Let them out, let them breathe.
The days repeat an endless cycle,
The actions forgotten
In the amnesia of elongated sleep.
How much longer?
Amazed to learn about the Almighty’s goodness
Blest hearts of ours praise God with gratefulness
Cared for by teachers who instill wisdom’s fullness…
Dear mentors, thanks so much for your diligence
Enriching us with lessons amidst patience
Fervently imparting virtues of blest prevalence…
Gearing us toward character development
Hoisting constantly our literacy advancement
Influencing carefully steps toward great achievement…
Jubilantly, we greet you, “Blessed teachers’ day”
Kind are you with your leading to the right way
Loving us as your children who long for truth’s ray…
Ministering* teachers, continue with Your guiding role
Nurturing us, your students to attain functional goal
Opening great opportunities toward good success pole!!!
*Romans 12:7 - Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching.
