Bliss beats heighten, when we are still,
feeling within, God's divine light,
imbibing wisdom byte by byte,
by simply surrendering will
and day by day, as dark voids fill,
bliss beats heighten.
Easy is soul’s ascent uphill
and unbound is our heart’s delight,
when God bestows His divine sight
and feeling soma nectar spill,
bliss beats heighten.

Headache
red sake
just right
but write
the judge
won't fudge
Did chime
The time
At which
My snitch
Too slow
missed show!
too late
missed date
just fine
must sign.

Heighten Hiatus
Noble nascent nurtures nicely,
arrest aspects acme ably,
charming checking cure complacent,
nurtures nicely, noble nascent.
Subtle stages stylishly sort,
choice collection, colorful court,
always adrift accrue ages,
stylishly sort subtle stages.
Weightless willow wanders water,
often ogles overt otter,
eaglet escapes easy expose,
wanders water weightless willows.
Brandishing blue bordering brook,
lingering lulls laboring look,
saunters solely scenery strew,
bordering brook brandishing blue.

A BRIAN STRAND 4 or 5 line
~~Brian Strand: Judged 2021 August 12
a little foreign
language can open your eyes
to your own language.
I am thinking it’s a sign, just when I’m thinking I am alone you always seem to be
able to come and join me in my MIND
I have now come to terms, when I mumble and we get in rumbles you’re always
the first to get down and grumble FIRST
And true, I may not speak my mind, but please forgive thee for my vocals are
weak and my emotions just intimidate ME
For you, accepting all of me, though my feelings play hide and seek you’re
always able to catch and grab a firm hold of ME
They will say what they want to say, but we’ll never separate, no not now, but
somehow
They will see if there’s a higher being it doesn’t matter what one believes this is
my vow
I will pray to whom it may concerns my sins will burn I may show apathy, but trust
me
I’ll do what it takes to join you in the pearly gates it just takes time, to cross that
line
So I won’t say no, but know there’s heighten hope
