I Am Hyperion So Tall, So High, I Take Flight
He who goes Above, I Am the Light in the Twighlight
I Am the Sun, the Moon, Illuming the Veils of Sight
Ever So Luminous, I Illumine the Plights
Soaring Upright, my Spirit Ever-Higher
from a Spark to a Flame, now I Blaze in Fire
Born and Reborn and Reborn again, now I'm Four Times Brighter
Four Times Greater, my Wings Ever-Wider
Feathers of Might, I Sail above the Stormy Nights
Ever they Glisten, I have Risen, Thrice

Dare I dream of hope in a world that's self consuming,
and dare I dream of a home where hearts are always blooming.
Peaceful the mind would be in a land I am assuming,
but hardship is what we find in a world that should be booming.
Wisdom shall be your guide in moments that are confusing,
and damned our lives would be if faith we are accusing.
Clouded are peoples minds with rage that’s over fuming,
and lost are those who think that life is just amusing.
Sadness will fill the sky of a scourge that may be looming,
but in God we must have faith in a life we are resuming.
Doubtful your mind can be when trust you’re swiftly losing
and heavy your heart would beat when intrusive thoughts are cruising.
With joy my soul is filled on a day that is illuming,
and cheerful birds will sing on trees that are perfuming.
The rain shall fall again on lands that man is rooming,
and the sun will shine with hope on grief that was intruding.

As The Pendulum Sways
and Time Drifts Astray,
and the Wind swifts away all that was
and returns it to it's Essence beyond the Ashes and Dust,
and the Ticking Withers into the Frey
leaving only that witch was Forged along The Way,
and all that remains is the Sacred Flame Of Truth
the Eternal Spark Of The Absolute,
Illuming like Stardust Into the night
and Scintillating unto the Sun Light,
Ever-Enduring, The Great Soul is Wise
Progressing, Evolving, Ever-Upright,
Ever- So Bright, The Sacred Torch burns with life
Coming and Going, All Knowing, ALL TRIUMPH!

A fragment of light that shines so bright illuming the night,
In tune with this life the warmth when its viewed is delight,
It's usually right pursued like a jewel what a sight!,
In duel it's a knife questioning the dual why we fight?,
A silent expression vibes of happiness resurrected,
Highly infectious manifested tool of affection,
Hearts it effects them spiritually a source of protection,
Sort of majestic higher frequency when projected,
Link to the soul wisdom giving strength to the whole,
Reaped when it's sown easier to reach when it's shown,
Simply a tone a silent melody when performed,
Emotional storms calmed by the simplest of forms,
A way we can greet a telepathic way we can speak,
Easy to teach fruitful gesture sweet as a peach,
It's essence released discreet brings perfection to peace,
The message beneath connected to expressions believed.

Your vision is delicately illuming the edge of my mindfulness.
A significant pondering in the lucidity of my spirit otherness.
Leaving me with a grin in the corner of blissfulness.
Had been enclosed by the heavenly palms of awes kindness.
I was stuck in the previous foggy musings of loneliness.
Showers ran against the early window shadowiness.
Like blooming buds were spread to catch the lights noblesse.
Like angels, our spirits are carried over the clouds of softness.

Moonlight eyes
cold as night
retrieving from love
its light
orbiting around
in cycle
repaying hurts
real or imagined
with lie of pretending
to vanish.
Bitter sweet
debris
storming
clear water of love
with turbulence
midnight darkness
ahead and beyond
only light
limpid in the night
the I Am Star
Sun of midnight flowers
ripening figs out of cycle
God's fruit of love
available
in season and out
crystal clear spring
flowing untapped
quenching thirst
by human love
unquenched
illuming path
with permanent sunshine
for sunflowers hearts
drunken with light
to follow
madness of
never ending
love

Binge fiend of opulent fear. Between two way mirrors sponsoring fright, pale sheets of red color paint. Tell me if you believe in the boogey man.
Does it nip the tips of your toes while you sleep? Dreams of animosity teethed at the hair strewn rind of bedlam.
Or perhaps the pair of bright bleached eyes illuming in frosty despondence, a closet of decadence with a grain swollen grimace.
Do you believe in the boogey man?

PROLOGUE
The Flame, aflicker, licks and flays,
illuming evening’s negligees
With braided curls she swirls and sways,
and flits and floats in light ballets
APOLOGUE
A Flame, to conquer creeping fog,
flew dancing towards a random log
Her flight perplexed a leery frog
beside a silent somber bog
The Flame, a ripple, all alone
alit on leaves where birds had flown
The aching twigs began to moan
A rising breeze began to groan
The Flame arrayed an ancient oak
with torrid tongues and veils of smoke
A beaver bailed, the dam had broke
The leery frog soon ceased to croak
The Flame uncoiled and lashed midair,
consuming crowns with utmost care
A crazed coyote fled her lair,
left in the lurch bewildered bear
The Flame, unfurled, went wild and grew,
enkindled cats and caribou
Remaining... not a residue,
as reeking vapors bade adieu
The Flame revealed her strength unshackled
Flora, fauna crisped and crackled
Fire Witches clucked and cackled
One more forest stripped, then hackled
EPILOGUE
The arsonists were well aware
the Flame would travel everywhere
The weirs are gone, the land is bare,
and soon you’ll find a city there

She landed on my moon,
Even though she was from Pluto
Too cold, to get too close
Her confusion kept us from fusing
She felt she shouldn’t feel this
So insisted I was an illusion
Yet and still kept intruding
She knew my light was to illuming to elude it
But too deep to consume in
Would she choose to refuse it or pursue it
How could I loss this
I lived my whole life stiff and tight
But she’s who I get loose with
We fit, so for me she makes room quick
I know she is complete and whole
But together we are continuously improving
She the one win when I’m losing
So this won’t be confused with
Any other emotion
I know that you can see from the sea
That I am an open ocean
Only for you to float in
Don’t focus so much on its
Approach just notice my closing
And know this, it won’t end,
My devotion

A bright announcing beacon
Of that divinely vivid moment
Casting out it’s cleansing light
For all to see and partake of
Calling the Magi to the manger
Purity of deference for the Messiah
Illuming human shadows with belief
Granting all the peoples a choice
And the gift of chance for…eternity

Motivation of complexity,
A web of mystification where
The beauty of numbers emerges…
Holding the meaning of logic, of
Equality, of righteous thinking,
Making the world more meaningful,
As it modifies what is unknown… its
Trance enraptures the minds of many,
Illuming the world with brightness, with the
Chants of knowledge, that continuously
Sing along with its numbers…

Love all the elements exposed to.. growing up free,
gentle winds, warm rays, light snow.. all nurture me..
Bowing down head, believe.. I love soft rain most,
sprouting up untethered, I wind up round fence post..
Sharing soil with weeds.. still my sole life's blooming,
will be.. I hope, as a flowering sign.. illuming..
Through my lifetime to standfast.. with beauty and grace,
purpose never waivering, I will present a rosy face..
Sun banishes shadows away.. in natures own magical way,
in midst of thorns.. "Rose" basks in peaceful day..
