His beefy heartiness is a cheerful note,
but one that cannot be sustained for too long.
Anyone he greets
is pummeled into a certain shape
by his fractured perception.
He squirrels you away behind
a blindfolded mind,
where you must
live among other squirrels,
and made to peer at his comings and goings
from a secret cage behind his eyes.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR BEHOLDING OUR AFFLICTIONS

Healing us along His health-hewing hands
Lamentations 2:9 Praise be to the Lord for
leading us with His vision so:
Vivid with His Biblical view
Victorious by His blessed valour
Vocal along His best against vanity
Virtuous building us through His verities
Valuable by His bestowments, vanquishing vileness
Lamentations 3:22 Praise be to the Saviour for
His mercies and compassions that fail not to:
Lead us to His light
Love us midst His liberty

Snuggles spent
in pink and gold
brocade.
Snuggling in mom's
kind heartiness arms
she sweet dreams.
Cozy
all Cuddly
Fluffy
Meowing
cat purring
paw-sitively
do as it pleases friend.
She's
a brown-gray tabby.

My wheels on the gravel spin around with wholesome timidity, forthwith
No hesitation among the five solitaires surrounding me like a myth,
I’d made up my mind to commence with resumption of self,
Like a viceroy who fiercely enjoyed, earnestly hoped,
Delightfully defended, unprovoked!
Let me redeem the measure of time I privately bred,
Strange is the feeling of freedom,
When everything is done, when everything is said.
Pardon my ignorance as I stepped into the opposite corner,
Excuse all the heartiness given never to be forgiven,
Scarce and hesitant, as a traveler who has sharpened senses,
Willing to cross the great ocean and a shallow sea,
With respect and honouring the deal
Disappointed so much yet those eyes will continue to edify me
Uplift and weaken,
Melt and sadden,
The feeling that lingers is my beacon
Guiding me through a rough storm,
March on! Embrace life, exceptionally warm, - reform!
Hot, the day has been;
No human’s fault was to mean.
As things happen, God has seen.
Even ways birds’ nests are woven;
With the stars, His wisdom is proven,
None moves wrongly to hit broken.
So are the drops of rain when they fall,
Causing persons instinctively to call,
As they all are gradually building tall.
Abruptly, incredible heartiness grows.
Silently, nature a shower it enjoys,
For no witness to see how it luckily bathes.
The tail wags to enjoy the wet mood
That was only very good, but not food,
For the rain’s presence builds a hood.
No competition it triggered but caused creation;
No leglet got broken, but naturally tender flexibility,
Led it down and up for pungent evaporation to crop.
Poem by Mugisho N Theophile
I wonder if fate had me pegged all along life’s path. My sagging smile and breasts, still lifting though depressed. My husband and I adapt to the grandparent role, understanding only now the heavy hearts of our own grandparents. The fate of the aged is fine wine, elephant wrinkles, forgetfulness and dying relatives and friends.
On the lighter side, I remember Laugh Ins’ fickle finger of fate. Now it’s pointing at me. The other day, when I walked down the stairs, with creaky knees and ankles, I told myself, “walk like a twenty year old,” then again as I became unbalanced, “fall like a fifty year old.” And there you have it - all the joy, wisdom and heartiness of late.

A bright sunny azure blue sky above fills
Me with happiness and a leisurely drive into the Adelaide Hills
The Hahndorf Main Street full of shops
With soaps and hand made goods between the hops
A lunch of German fare of schnitzel or bratwurst with beer
All washed down in heartiness and cheer
Then to Melba’s chocolate factory for all you eat sweets
Or the Beerenberg farm for chutneys and jam so complete
Then fresh apples off the farm
And a sleepy trip home full of small town charm.

Her face lit up like a kaleidoscope
of colors as she slowly put it in
her hands and sobs, sweet spring green eyes of hope
crinkles at the corners as her world spins.
She was stunning, with faint flavorful scent
that drew his gaze, like a moth to a flame.
Quite taken with her grace kept his nights spent
in deep reflections on how to lay claim.
In a garden of white roses, he knelt.
He took a deep breath, "Will you marry me?"
Her gaze met his and he saw she would melt
glowing with all the colors of the sea.
Their heart soared with love and joyful wonder
Words said, "I love you, you and no other."
splashes of color
heartiness of emotion
till death do us part

A human being constantly remains
heated up in the fire of struggles.
that fire not only burns him
but also melts him down
heartiness and blaze are virtues of fire
and we call them
compassion and delinquescence
discontentment is nature as well as
quality of a human being
and this discontentment pushes him
constantly towards perfection
his longings for something more
rouse his mirage
contentment is the greatest pleasure
of human life
all the wealth becomes dust
on achieving this pleasure
we believe that realization is
the basis of philosophy of life
bless us with devotion, knowledge
and mortification
we pray to omnipotent god
we need to experience
the gust of life waving around us
sorrow and happiness
are our cognate and cognizant
but human life lacks many things
but to experience the perfection of it
is our meaningfulness
(By Kishan Negi)
