So you can define a tree From a forest if its near But I cannot make you see And my words you cannot hear You destroyed a lilac grove You’re a beast with no remorse I don’t share your need to rove You’re the effect with no cause Now the Earth is yours forever Make it flat, cut off the trees Get your desert...

The Clocks Go Back One Hour
Time changes with life and life changes with time. October grows too old, Hobbling backwards With the burden of years, On the sinuous alcove of time, Tenebrous and feathery, Her hidden lamps blinking furiously At the silhouettes of wasted days. The wasted leaves of autumn Break forth and dance down With the weak speed of burnt confetti. The clocks go back several ticks, Schlepping on the tired...

Two formidable contenders are battling for the crown, each making grand promises. Where do we go wrong? What wisdom does our Bible impart about speaking in tongues? It's a reality that for one to win, another must lose; that’s the essence of this game change. We know that nothing will ever be the same again. ...

The power of being black
She was the rain He was the thunder And together they were an unstoppable storm Both activists in their own form Both doing what they were made for A duo who held a power that could destroy A system Meant only to break them Built to control them Her voice was fire Loud and unforgiving His mind was like...

CAN I COME BACK HOME?
It’s never too late to pause the chase to stop running like a mad dog after a world that never turns back. It’s never too late to stand in the open sun after years of hiding in shadows to finally thirst for the light. It’s never too late to shed the robe of shame to return to the road you were always meant to walk. Home never...

Premium Member OLD STORIES COMING BACK
I remember when our children were children…and we were younger as well… In a time they believed everything we said…oh the jokes and stories we would tell… We could tell them the moon was made of cheese, fool them with card and magic tricks and when we told stories around the campfire..they would sit and listen…transfixed. One of my...

Premium Member Come Back Colorful Butterfly Faerie
colorful butterfly faerie flew into the garden today The marigolds, lilies and lilacs all leaned her way Wanting a favor, a glimpse, a look at her gown She had a terrific personality, and no kind of frown She is such a beauty! The elves and dwarfs did agree. Tomato worm never saw her; he was watching TV The radishes and carrots...

Premium Member Going Back to Future Beyond
I woke to the glare of a screen-lit frown, My hopes drowned in code, and my soul shut down. Elon, there said, "The time-machine code is cracked," "It’s your call now, buddy, go now, be reborn" I'm going back ... To rewrite fate, to make it right, To hitch the train, to a better domain. To force the past to speak again, For...

What is the meaning of it all? If I told you, you’d surely bawl. Cry like a baby, yes you would, If all of truth you understood. Truth can be so enlightening, Also, can be quite frightening. For from the start, we’ve known it all. Our greatest challenge is recall. When recalled the truth is real, All empty spaces it will fill. We all were...

To the moon and back
So far from you yet I reach out like you were right here. Nothing shined brighter than you not even the sun. And as bright as you are I still lost you, yet sparks brought me back to you but when I returned I was too late. You shined so bright you became the moon to...

Let the gong of Om arise by itself, without a need to employ egoic will, that recognising living light of Self, love’s peace dove perches on soul’s window sill, whence we sip soma nectar to heart’s fill. In our native element, drenched with bliss, our heart feels complete, with nothing amiss....
