(Dreamsleep: July, 2026)
Fly me to the lofty blue
when whispers of clouds pass through.
Float me on one of your clouds
far away from mundane crowds.
Let me drift in the ocean
that flows with your emotion.
Inspire me, Poet, to feel
gems’ facets that you reveal.
Violet voice I can’t resist
Giving heart soul a lift
You are gold star optimist
You see dark as a challenge
You’re the spark and balance
Words your art despite silence
Puzzles are simple unlike you
Smile with dimple bright yet blue
In challenging times you are muse
You inspire the poets who dream
Of perfect word exactly expressing
Their innermost thoughts feelings
So when they feel you near
As if you whisper in their ear
Know words of gold sincere
The willpower to remove
the mountain lies in the mind
there is not an impossibllity
that one can find
The borderless universe
gives us the opportunity
to channel new pathways
and move with the sun
We have tremendous
power create with time and run
We are born with a blank slate
to fill inside and paint
Whatever our hearts desire
and to inspire as a saint
Our dreams lead us to become
leaders of tomorrow
Why should we fade our thoughts
to live in sorrow
So many gurus have come
into this world and left a trail
Se have sufficient knowledge
to guide us and not fail
The weapon of the mind
can cause the forest to burn
Imagination is the gift of life
to have patience and learn
There wilñ never be another
opportunity to breathe success
Time never returns to reopen
the doorway we once could access
I’m listening deeper than the words you say,
Hearing what your silence keeps safe.
The boy with the ladybug on his shoulder,
Guess they were right when they told us—
“No more you and me, now it’s we,”
Funny how truth sounds holy.
Love grows, feelings anticipated,
Lips touch, time stays satiated,
Dark abyss, starry cosmic, obliterated,
My body an oasis, water weeps, don’t keep me waiting.
Every second’s heavy, every moment weighted,
Heart like a hazy orange, dream sky in the morning,
Light spills through my soul, every thought still roaming.
No more you and me, now it’s we,
Falling slow, but it’s everything,
If love’s a dream, don’t wake me please,
Stay right here inside this feeling.
No more you and me, now it’s we,
Your touch speaks in poetry,
If happiness is believing, then believe with me.
If life is a movie , then this is the most monotonous film ive ever seen
Once more to get lost in the pensive magic
Is there no more time for cloud filled daydreaming mind machine ... she seems broken
Time ticks , years and experiences picked the last refrain from my soul
Listening to music artists and wanting again to be inspired but only end up being tired by the days unrelenting role ...
Home - Build by the Holy Spirit of God's power and grace!
His Divine Will brings joy to your face.
Unshakeable faith opens every door of sustenance,
Tender love, peace, trust after repentance.
Let all go and totally rely.
Then through life's tests you will fly!
Home is where Mom and Dad are ...ie. Heaven!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
Happiness is homemade!
DEFINITION OF ME.
I am a growing spirit of well-being dancing in the melody of my own song
An illuminating light finally beginning to shine
within what was once the darkest corners of my experiences
Created perfectly imperfect though not the definition of past mistakes
Emerged from an abyss of mental instability to now a transformation of complete sovereignty over limiting beliefs
where sought after peace is no longer searched for, it has been found
I am an expansion of thought
The rebirth of a new mind
Understanding that the existence of pleasures and pain are necessary encounters to help balance out the life in which we all have been chosen to live
An individual of confidence no longer held back by a mindset of recurring cognitive distortion
Shedding layer by layer from the person who once was to a rebirth of a person who now is
Navigating life with an optimistic approach despite
Its complexities
Knowing now more than ever that I am what I think I am
And what I think I am is worthy.
Come back to the refuge; Lets take a trip inside. No shadow can see you here, the perfect place to hide. Come back to the refuge, the largest space of all. Theres room for all your hopes and dreams, so you can bring them all. Come back to the refuge, there's power you can find; Silence is the kingdom, lost somewhere behind your mind. Come back to the refuge, the great ones wait for you; Through white light to fields of green, and skies the bluest blue; Come back to the refuge, I know its been a while, but time's a lie, so please dont sigh - just come back with a smile! Come back to the refuge, do you still know the way? Let go of thinking without any effort, and sit like that today. Come back to the refuge, put down those heavy bags! The present is a gift, it doesnt matter how its wrapped. Come back to the refuge, the journey is alone; But once your near, youl feel me here; Because the refuge is my home... Signed - HIGHER SELF.
Dear Heavenly Father
May our lights shine brightly
No matter how big or small
We often overlook the significance of seemingly small lights
We are delighted to be chosen as a light in the world
Influencing others for Your glory
I was thinking this morning about spirit and inspiration.
I think that they both reside inside, put there in our creation.
One meaning of to inspire is to pass one’s spirit from within.
It can then be passed on to another and doesn’t have an end.
We cannot see the spirit or where the power lies,
but it seems to push the buttons that help us realize
we all have gifts we’re given; a part we must play.
Without our contribution, life may be less so to say.
When we’re inspired to do our best, to be the best that we can be,
we may come together with others, to build a community.
There’s always a cost for progress, together we will see,
that compromise and trust are needed for harmony.
Ideas can inspire, from either you or from me,
and expand through inspiration to an unlimited degree.
Let our infinite love inspire us

Let's have a conversation
Let's connect our hearts and minds
Let's elevate our entwined souls
Let's be compassionate and kind
Let our infinite love inspire us
Let our cups fill to overflowing
Let us be the love and light
Let us spread joy to every home

A FLOWER THAT BLOOMS
God sees your life as a flower
That sprouts, grows, blooms, wilts, withers, and dies in one Day.
And it is not so much the way the Lord sees how you were Rooted to the world
But,
How you attempted to bloom toward the sky.
Whether your stem was broken too soon by an icy storm, Wilted too early by a harsh sun
Or
Grew to be a beautiful flower with bright petals
Because each flower was born in different times, weather, and Seasons
And We
Are the product of our days
But each flower is still a flower With stamens and pistils
Trying to survive And
Love Together
Whether born in a cold canyon, a beautiful garden, sprouting from Concrete, or a lovely meadow
Standing alone or with many
As long as your stem stands tall and your petals Reach toward the Lord
You will always be the flower that blooms
My name is Chikwela poet,
I will speak about Laulent,
Not a Bandari college president,
The security man in the gate.
I like how he invest,
Students to wear their identity,
Seems like they have forgot,
To him I have appreciate.
Since bandari I have start,
Only him he has react,
Even Bacoso how they conduct,
He has fulfil the right.
Students keep it in the pocket,
Not wearing in the neck,
After finishing to be inspected,
Weared only in the test.
In how he have operate,
He have done something different,
Which other couldn't aspect,
Good way he has select.
Take your power women, and use it for good.
Remember the times that we suffered with no path to grow.
They made us work for free, and kill our children by abortion and lack of money to give birth.
They made us choose life or death, by failing to give us choices.
We needed free education, free universal daycare from birth forward, free support to help us grow.
They tricked us with words of love, yet they gloat when they tell others, they have no wife or children or lover.
They used us and sometimes abused us with tricks of love.
Sometimes they raped us, and laughed and failed to admit they put us on a negative life path.
Making our life trajectory become sad and depressed.
Remember the power within yourself, hold it close and remember the lost and the weak as you grow.
