Song of life starts from the very childhood
initiating symphony with prelude.
supposed to be sung in parental care.
Mostly nice, yet tune may be sad , though rare.
Interlude is the sweetest part of song
to be enjoyed in youth, though not too long.
Busy, active, vibrant and dynamic
Ups and Downs , staying enthusiastic.
Old age is last portion sung on postlude.
Tone in low, slow, morose mood to conclude.

Know the stakes before the show.
Risk all; let it go!
Courageously make that climb
Bring your Spark in time.
Life is much more than a walk,
A picnic or a jog in the park
There's a Duty-Call from Above.
It's simply just to fall-in-love
With Truth, life and to trust.
It's The Essence; the core to the crust
"But I don't understand!" you say
"What would be the cost to pay?"
With just a glimpse of happiness in you
Authenticity: be faithful and true,
Like fireworks bursting in air
Reveals The Essence: That we care!
Life and changes are hard.
But Fight regrets and fear retard.
Be on an expert and responsible team
Persevering, sharing God's dream
Like a child inquisitive,
Learning, initiating and sensitive.
The Essence is also like a mother
Jumping up to help another,
Being sweet, kind and genuinely YOU,
Making others better too,
Bringing out the Best, no doubt
With no time to "chicken-out"!
So, live in the Essence
By your heart, in every sense,
Sophisticated, elaborate and extravagant!
Covering over us God's Love is bent.
You will see a new and better plan,
If only to be still and listen, you can?

Illustrious industrious iguanas from Fiji Fida
Invited intelligent Ivan to invest in indigo ink in coveted China

Indicated to Inez, Ian and Ida this was the way to go
Informing ideal initial investors from Froffits
To imagine their insane ideas initiating profits

The success of a family
Is not based on talent
But by virtue and passion
Love is the nucleus that mend
All the relationship that binds
Every member to keep in touch
And contribute the welfare of everyone
Commitment is the first advantage
To make the ties strong
Loyalty is the energy that goes
Everyone's affection keep burning
Cooperation is the connector
That makes every member jive unity
In making things end meet
The success and failure of the family
Depend upon the leader that is working
Planning, initiating, and executing fairness
Intelligent, divisive and good governance
In making life, business and relationship
Alive, attainable, sustainable, dependable
Harmonious, relatable and fruitful life.

Big Bang exploded in void Cosmos.
Instant happenstance of Start
of Space -Matter- Time
from compressed Energy
initiating Cycle of Existence.
Life somehow sprouted from non living sources
resulting versatilities in Nature.
Soul staying in slumber state
was ignited in the cycle of existence.
Dormant consciousness hidden in soul
starts in womb through birth
termed as ‘Life’.
‘Life’ continues to run till ‘Death’
transcending to ‘After -Life’ phase
and streaming in cycle of existence
obeying conservation of energy.
Each soul is framed to
fit somewhere in cycle of existence
within closed contour
of Pre - Present - After Life :
Subject to Evolution,
Energy -Space - Matter - Time
Life - Consciousness- Soul :
Each rolling rippling
in the Cycle of Existence.

Waves
Signposts of division
Obviousness..
Thoughts arising of
Waves not separate..
Larger ocean constructs
Resonating stories
Initiating spiritual paths
Meditations
Sequences for arrival..
Or..this tsunami
No separation..full stop
And the magical paths
Thoughts and
Waves...

Kamala Harris is America’s choice
Able to give Americans a voice
Moving us in a positive direction
Announcing Donald’s deep infection
Learned her position from the best
Anxious to put policies to the test
Harris will make America number one
As she brings back the shining sun
Recovering what was taken away
Reminding everyone how to play
Initiating a woman’s right to choose
Silencing those that brought us blues

Earth
Was initiating infinity prepared with the reflection of eternity.
The expected substances were expectations for their living resources.
Infinity that expresses human creativity with the creativity of nature.
They continued to infinity with the education of laws.
They planned the power of the substance changing with the power of words.
Those who want endless life with pain and love relationships.
Souls that are lost for the continuation of the challenge were scaled for time.
Things that are changed on behalf of people are launching new life with deleted people.

SADNESS
Sadness is as a burden of a whole City
And worry, a skillful hunter of the mind's happiness,
With nothing to enlighten, but tiny ignorant voices,
initiating desolation in my lost but reviving mind
And stirring a battle in my soul's calm.
But still, I see a glimpse of light, a ray of comfort, for if so, i shall embrace.
Hence, how will I unladen or quench of myself the roars that seek to rid me of my attentiveness, for if with my worries and doubts what shall be of me but pains?
So i reach out to the hands of nature's calm and earth’s comfort
For I shall plead to myself to find my own peace amid these fears.

Down long lonesome roads of life, I traveled
only resting when I've grown weak and weary
or stumbling on memory lanes, pea graveled
that cause my mournful eyes to become teary.
My life is a library of memorable adventures.
I look back on those that brought me sorrows,
notwithstanding the rough and rocky ventures,
I’ve always looked forward to brighter morrows.
Courage always serves me as a faith restorer.
Then I'm off on another journey in which I pretend
that I'm a brave adventurist, a vagabond explorer,
hoping to discover serenity around the next bend.
Life offers us many of those up-and-down times,
but I have reached the crest of the highest hills --
sat there, meditated, and wrote poetic rhymes,
about sorrow's depth and how happiness fulfills.
I've learned how to be both malleable and shrewd,
relying on my senses and what nature will provide.
Life can be felicitous, and if I have the right attitude
I will accept my optimism to be a trusted guide.

Imitation, unauthentic, superficial why? Create
associations and link ups that causes distress on one another human being for sport frankly
Where's the trueness or loyalty? For gain for this reason Counterfeit, Betrayed, unhealed childhood 's traumas.
Survival of initiating fake friendship is it one's
goal to distract? And expeditiously obtain substances for one lack of and approval or others or lack of void of mere beggary.

The night I sat at the bedside of a dear friend's dying sister,
A poem was conceived in my heart and mind, unlike anything
that I had ever experienced. Words of inspiration were being
formed inside of me in the form of words coming from the heart
and lips of a dying one. Becoming one of my first poems, it was
expressly written in the 'first person' of my friend's sister as if
she was speaking, putting the words within me.
Secondly, the day I realized I would be sending 'writings' to my
pastor, I knew that it was an assignment from God and informed
him accordingly. This was another 'God Moment', a divine encounter
triggered and activated more than 15 years ago. Since initiating the
writings sent to him, I have posted on a poetry website nearly 2000
pieces of work.
Although prior to those two divine encounters, I had desired to write,
never had I been so compelled and pushed to act upon what I had
dreamed of doing for years. There was an urgency like none I had prior,
and it was as if 'I had to begin' and begin 'NOW!'.
