Radiant crystals illuminate thee, nocturnal mistress
in the wan dawn light where darkness drapes skies
Requiem aeternam bright halo, lies heaven’s portal
Winters wispy cirrus refracting ring circling
Mohawkin bespeaks of a Christmas cold moon
…December’s icy grip
Riffling ebb and tide, spawner of loon
Let rage and ruin Not be the end of me
Rubaiyat’s rhyme in thy honor
Let the waters settle, quotes of Rumi
Mercurial doomsday ruminates Mina Loy
Reigning ascendant masking impressions
Clouds envelop, shadow’s born shorn
Ravishing stillness, stormy tasks pending…
bright white ring of light
rage and ruin’s calmly still ~
not the end of me
A light shines brighter than the northern star
The brightness illuminates my heart
No longer do I feel darkness
My perspective is shifted to mirror ambition
With my new outfit, I embark on my journey
Lost within vibrancy & saturation, my mood transitioned
An understanding of subjects that eluded me
Blurry vision is now crystal clear
Taking in the outside ambiance with a heart full of content
Calmness flows through my veins
Light, my day is a result of your presence
knee brace
ill grace

No matter how much you hide us from your shadow
These seven bended glints called rainbow
will keep illuminating with it's vibrant glow
Till darkness fades and freedom comes to many not only to few.
Illuminate my heart, Oh Lord
Your Spirit, my desire
Your Holy Word is like a sword
it cleanses like a fire.
Please guide me in Your way
to do Your will each day.
on narrow path, I’ll stay.
Refine me from the start
illuminate my heart.
Written 2021
Gathering around the blues of life,
Grey clouds signifying defeat and strife.
Thunder and lightning, synonymous with the struggle long.
Fire within burning like the determination strong.
Cold rain pouring on the wounds that burn,
Soothing within, yet kindling the fire, the fire to learn.
The lessons of life and scars of fights,
Bearing witness to your strength.
Evolving, building up and retaining your trait clement.
As the rain satiates the thirst of the Earth,
The penchant for learning quenches my yearning for growth.
The rain of wisdom blooming in my soul.
Taking me towards the light from the dark black hole.
The whole wide world is one giant clock a face of illuminate loveliness,
the dial is a shadow forever nonchalant, passing through each day
invisibly each night, the human race sleeps discerns, tick tock, tick tock,
oh the pulse, oh the vibration, oh that spring coil of gravitation,
careful not to over wind it, as the celestial key turns, tick tock, tick tock
the whole wide world is one giant clock, a face of illuminate loveliness.
This wholesome world is a ball of fire, we are the salt of the earth
mile after mile we trudge towards existence though nothing can allay
the cravings of the soul better than life itself, tick tock, tick tock.
Providence takes us by the hand so there is no need to apprehend,
catch and release the wind it’s all about push n' pull, tick tock, tick tock
the entire world is one giant clock, illuminated by the handles of time.
Tick tock, tick tock, don't blow it this time. xo xo

careful not to over wind it, as the celestial key turns, tick tock, tick tock
the whole wide world is one giant clock, a face of illuminate loveliness;
This wholesome world is a ball of fire , we are the salt of the earth
mile after mile we trudge towards existence though nothing can allay
the cravings of the soul better then life itself, tick tock, tick tock,
