Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity. ~ Samuel Beckett
Line of enquiry: Newton’s First Law of Motion (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
love is contagious
fall in love
and many suitors will crawl out of the worn woodwork
a plethora of choices
confusing and so tempting
their motivation puzzling
spurred on by the common herd mentality
similar to following the politician who embraces pseudo-science
they do not have brakes
if you do not love
everything
and everyone seem hostile
escaping to your private abditory
might protect you from hurtful experience
but like a mixed metaphor
an implicature will lead to a pratfall
requiring others to mop up after you
your inertia inevitably noted
interaction with others
forms groundwork
for relationships
the external stimuli
essential for the development of empathy
open heart and mind
as a stagnant entity just cannot grow
but happily balter through the cobbled streets of life
validate your existence

Every sunrise in the morning
You will see the beauty of the world
That's why don't waste your life
That's the most precious in you
Love yourself. Love your life.
Life is precious to eternity
Not a hint to delay a failure
To achieve success a groundwork
Whose driving force is persistence
Through goodness and hardwork.
Love never cease to amaze admiration
To good works and innovations
Praiseworthy may form a self-love
But combined with humbleness
With God's grace will give us victory.

Unleash your slumbered passions
For all the world to see.
Embrace Spring in all its glory
To let the dregs of winter be.
Move with purpose and intention...
Making bold of what's to come.
Lay some groundwork for achievement...
Hear the call of feral drums.
Spring demands of us a reckoning
As winter's cruelty fades away...
Giving germ and seed to possibility...
We are bound for better days.
Who among us hasn't welcomed
The flowers as they bloom?
Who among us doesn't sanctify
The end of winter's gloom?
There is no argument one can offer...
So let the vernal warmth in hearts dwell
As it would be a cruel trick on Nature
To not make something of ourselves.
The End

like a promise

timed just so
to test the waters
to lay the groundwork
to plant the seed

Oh, Trust,
You are the blessed cornerstone of every
Relationship.
You are the durable rock of
Dependence.
You are the unshakable groundwork
Of reliance.
For that reason
Only upon your unyielding foundations we
Should build any edifice:
Of care
Of partnership
Of friendship, and
Of love,
So as
No earthquake of doubt,
No storm of distrust,
No thunderbolt of suspicion-
No matter how powerful they might be-
Would ever succeed in reducing it,
To RUINS!

Sentinels stand tall in the forest of my dreams,
and sunlight’s filtering fingers play with the
spectral shadows as I walk.
I feel no fear for I know that within dreams
lay the groundwork of my future,
the guidance of the soul.
I absorb the flora and fauna here,
like a sea sponge absorbs its meals.
Every plant and animal speaks to me in tones
of etheric essence;
revealing secrets that I need to know,
to achieve my goals;
dreamtime seeds of enlightenment.

Joy Unspeakable
Culminate since birth, sprung opened trials,
hither, somewhat tither, consequence waits,
opportune knock as an opened door smiles,
means of one's worth misery, rapture rates.
Character, their drawn portion brings about,
steadfastness accrued, witnessed by others,
contentment approves summation per clout,
worries cringe test, gladness is my druthers.
Cheerfulness wholehearted, sure of oneself,
planned groundwork correspond accurately,
prevailing arrangement fills some bookshelf,
groundbreaking moments burst rapturously.
Enchanting anecdotes, proving their ground,
recurrence linked praising is the best sound.

Bleak sky of blues, stars gave rise to a miracle been made,
Streak of a sprawl unfurls his heavens tethered madness,
Speak not lest he loses his concentration, maintains focus,
Meek town his groundwork, lofty jewel amidst the sadness.

where the heart leads
adventures follow
daring hearts
geared up to go
enthusiasm soaring
anticipating the challenge
forging ahead with confidence
thriving on the lust for conquest
lay groundwork for elation
swooping in wholeheartedly
eager to launch each escapade
lunge and pounce with conviction
high on the taste of freedom
riding the waves of time
deriving satisfaction
biting into life
measure man against himself
alone in the universe
master of his destiny
owning his achievements
implode with passion

As I look back into my past
Sweet memories fill my mind,
How the time went oh so fast
I wish I could rewind.
Go back to when my biggest fear
Was pissing off my dad,
His lectures I would have to hear
When I did something bad.
Sometimes Grandma got involved
When we kids would fight,
A switch would deem the problem solved
And put us all to flight.
But when I fell and skinned a knee
Or someone broke my heart,
The only one to comfort me
Was with me from the start.
With gentle hands to dry my tears
For me there was no other,
Her snow white wings would calm my fears
That Angel was my Mother.
Her love I never had to doubt
The groundwork she had laid,
For me to grow and soon move out
How I wish I'd stayed.
Life went by at such a speed
It all was just a blur,
She taught me all I'd ever need
Except living without her.
My life will never be the same
Her love I can't replace,
Often, I still call her name
I long to see her face.
One day soon we'll meet once more
My heart will then be whole,
A reunion I am waiting for
Now Heaven is my goal.

I learned that I should eat my dessert first
For I am older, and I might die. But I didn't.
I learned that people are enthusiastic and loving.
And that in order to keep them, I have to do a little work.
I learned that to rejuvenate myself I have to make my own fun.
So I do that by painting cartoon canvases, and seeing grandchildren.
I learned that I do not want to spend a minute being bored.
And that I am in charge of my time, and how to spend each second.
I learned that it is okay to make an excuse and let go of
Whiny needy angry people even if they are your relatives.
Yesterday I learned to set the groundwork so I could
Thoroughly enjoy the day. Tomorrow I will learn more...
