after “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” (also sometimes called “Daffodils”) by William Wordsworth
I wandered weightless as a feather,
a muted plume from mourning dove.
A tuft afloat in breezy weather
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me
from over fields and out to sea.
My glad esprit more free than birds,
detached from mortal needs I fly,
where spirits long to share their words
among the songs in clouds, I sigh...
for Earth was never this composed,
this high I travel unopposed.
Oh, cumulus! A meadow white,
I feel at home atop its waves
illuminant, in purest light.
Mid savored heights my mem’ry saves
inertia of the clover green
and shiver of the water’s sheen.
Such riches now I do enjoy
in solitude away from fray.
I'm free from living once so coy;
in spirits’ realm I long to stay,
for then, myself I will fulfill
with gild as gold as daffodil.

REFLECTIONS OF GRACE
As we behold Him as in a mirror glass,
We're changed into His image & class.
In the depths of our souls, a gentle glow,
A reflection of grace, that starts to show.
In moments of darkness, we find our way,
Discovering Jesus, like dawn's golden ray.
His love is illuminant, guiding us through,
Unveiling the truths we once never knew.
With each step we take, He walks by our side,
Filling our hearts with a love that won't hide.
In quiet moments, we seek His embrace,
And find solace in His unwavering grace.
His presence, a union of soul and heart,
Ignites a divine fire, such a sacred art.
Within the mirror, we find His embrace,
A reflection of love, shinning with grace.
As we discover Jesus, deep from within,
Our souls align, and new life must begin.¹8

Centered, I envision my next flux for the illuminant
Deepening each stretch, I angle to the ruminant
Breaths breathed deep, I press into a bent round
Clearing my mind space, hands grasping at the ground
Mornings pass by, entering each one in the same
Renewing by imitating nature's avid, sparking flame
Rhythm artlessly singing, conflict emptied at the door
Consciousness absolved, my bond begins here on the floor

He stands on the slippery crag of Simon’s Seat
has done since time became tradition
from the Lupus a call to the Luna moon
howling at the illuminant of the night.
His descendants thrash the poignant air
a reminder of a fear once gone, forgotten
yet, today there are many still hold them fair
but it is the moon that drives the begotten.

Muslim who influenced by westernize,
Lost name and Identity, drowned in Occidentalize,
Got accuse of terror and blame of activist,
Oh the Muslim, thou lost thy illuminant,
Thou turn away face from lessons of Quran,
Ever thou remembered the moral of surah Aal-e-Imran,
Betrayed thy self through curse deed,
The Almighty bondman what’s thee need,
Lead thou self toward astray,
Turned attention to infidel way,
Forgotten the worry of last abode,
Repent thy sins by viewing this ode,
Eager thyself of virtue, thirst of hay,
Inertial thought turns thou rough and clay,
Vivify thy self, You the Muslim and still alive,
Strong enough as the pillar of five,
Worldly life is not more than amusement and joy,
Be prepare for hereafter, as you have to die.

My fluorescent beauty, with lips so pink and fruity
With a smile that's flawless an cutie
With skin, radiantly silky smoothie
And a kiss, so wet and drippingly juicy
like her melanin sista, illuminant with a glow
All that of a Lioness, let good vibes flow
take notice, this stand out, dreadlock girl
there are many like her, just saying, Wow!
