Here where the hibiscus and the palm tree sway,
December wears a mask, a sun-baked day.
The air is dense, a solemn, muggy sigh;
No frosty breath to hang the winter sky.
The calendar integrates as the year grows old,
But the earth, a young bride, refuses the cold.
No white covering quells the green-clothed land,
Just ocean rumors on sun-drenched sands.
We seek where the stones stand, as assurance’s strong,
A parable of familiarity where we truly belong.
It should be brimmed with ice, a silent guard,
But the tropical heatwave makes the vigil hard.
The stone stands, a heart, unmovable and true,
Yet the absence of snow paints a sky too blue.
This December is a clock with hands reversed,
A winter’s tale delightfully dispersed.
We are the trees, confused, with leaves so bright,
Awaiting shadows that won’t take their flight.
The island dreams of silence, sharp and deep,
While the warm waves roll, a secret it must keep,
That the soul of winter is not in the flake’s soft fall,
But in the resilience of the stone standing tall.
The sun, a fiery bear, keeps the cold wolf at bay,
In this warm December, the stone still holds its sway.
The earth requires it there.
The poets do not like the lyrics.
As the tsunami approaches the lands
The poem integrates without a solution.
As the summit talks upheld information
Global warming, tariff continues debating:
China not backing down, and we, the poets
Surprisingly asking what’s next?
A poem like this doesn’t comprehend
That earth requires it there,
Make it make sense, this Tariff war
About percentages, or principles of humanity
Make it make sense, make it a kind world
Make it turn water into red wine,
Make them say, “We are for the small people,
And not the profit holder’s fat wallets,
Make the world spin like a Bitcoin machine:
The more money there goes a burden of responsibilities there:
He who pay the Pied piper call the tunes:

A Reflection stares back at me,
looking into the mirror,
Satisfied with what I see.
The One I grew to be,
This loving entity,
In a confused society.
Living creatively,
Subjectively,
Searching for me.
Changing this reality,
To reflect what I see,
As I strive to be free.
The highest version of me,
Chivalry and morality,
Honesty my best Quality.
Energy running rampantly,
Serving our Society,
Rushing quietly.
A rising of integrity,
integrates politely,
Showing a new way to be.
Perceptions of purity,
Moving through many,
It's affecting Humanity.
A reflection I see,
Staring back at me,
Our race in unity.
Embracing our beauty,
Reacting differently,
Rising confidently.
Living life intensely,
Enjoying it immensely,
And YOU are the Key.
So here I will be,
Waiting patiently,
A reflection proud to BE.
Life invites deeply sacred purpose
when Love widely integrates
enlightened meaning
within co-invested minds,
passion,
from balanced bodies,
co-operating integrity
of healthy wealth's
most resilient potential
Life engaging
deeply felt sacred mess
co-operatively owned and managed
EarthTribe clarifying purpose.
Time has everything
You only have something
From time life initiates
And you integrates
Time awards great
It offers love, not hate
When things go absurd
Your soul speaks unheard
Time survived its own existence
Yours has to live with persistence
World never asked you for a reason
Despite your fall in a season
If you rise, time holds the world
Because with time the world turns gold
Trials come not to put you down
But to give you time until sundown
Hills are tall and tough
Breaking your bones are not enough
Proving your worth a thousand times
Uncalled for to surmount the test of times
If you should flop or drop from up high
Do not fall playing like a bligh
If you will collapse and droop
Hold your soul, be calm and stoop
Manners come and go with time
Attitude is what speaks not mime
Your patience is the warrior that'll never submit
No matter how hard the lightning strikes and emit
Time will always be with you
Flow with the strength of time...
And let it grow with you!

What does consciousness do?
Integrates here and disintegrates now
space as in/exforming time,
ego as constrained eco-logical DNA enraptured
mutual health relationships.
What does time do?
Perceptions bilaterally integrate
our grateful identity
with our multicultural futures
and disintegrates our fear and anger
mistrusting monocultural detouring pasts
And forgives offenses against restoring health
And pardons lost opportunities for healing futures
And spaciates two-dimensional historic pathways
Stories imaged into three-dimensional polypathic healing opportunities
for experiential RealTime Revolutions.
What does RealTime EarthTribe global space do?
Revolves restorations of seasonal climate health
and some pathology,
Evolves gratitude for healing cooperatives,
more than stressful competitives,
daily spacetime HereNow
4D RealTime
healing within bilateral polypathic integrity
EcoTheoLogical potential grace
of healthy wealth.

Who is brave, beneficial and beautific.
Who is the son of Frederick Christ "Fred" Trump.
Who loves politics, congruity
and the peaceful world.
Who feels excitement, anticipation
and Elysian bless.
Who needs embolden, conduce and love.
Who fears felonies, ferocities and A-bomb.
Who would like to see peaceful world,
more sunrises and greens.
Who shares interlocks, interacts and integrates.
Who is a president, father and friend.
Who is a resident of white House.
Trump.
This ancient apposition
between fear and love,
distrust and trust,
where fear reigns, love has already faded into too-distant hope;
where love co-integrates
fear can naught but evaporate.
Dipolar appositions
are bipolar oppositions wearing newer wings
of more robustly Win+Win polyculturing wealth
impoverishing Win v Lose anti-resilient
not so brilliant
polarizing pathology.
Appositional contrasts speak in transliterating dialects
trusting co-passionate truths of balanced resonance
and distrusting degenerating dissonance,
arrogance,
confusion,
apathy,
absence of sustaining interdependent curiosity,
dipolar co-gravitating courage.
Those who dance through polyamorous designs
for polyculturing love's integrative outcomes,
extinguish LeftBrain's angry anthropocentric fears
disintegrating narcissistic outgo.
The mind picturesque each stroked thought
A heart integrates rough to savvy touch
Soft lips whispers to form lines of words
Tamed fingers fondle and tip pen and pad
Feet and fingers dictate iambs and rhyme
Expertise experience breathes the life
Hope each line, will arouse?
Emotions... reveries on pause
To animate, revolutionize, to inspire
More to sadden even put you to dire
Like a kiss that triggers a thousands
So thus each and every creative prose
Beguiling you to fun and travel for free
To world of deep reality or maffick fantasy
Hatching each senses to burst or spur
Even journeying vast to bright stars
Connoisseur of beats sweets and treats
Rocketing fast for exhilarating release

3RD PLACE
YOGA
As old as time thou art.
A rock of ages.
Hidden, the wisdom of
The ancient art. But
Through thee unraveled.
A pathway to purity,
This mystique, with eyes
Closed, deep breaths
Mind on nothing, to
The beyond my soul
Levitates to harness.
And my burden darkened
Psyche, thy energy, like
The swift current of the
Sea sweeps away.
And the nether world
For tranquility I no more seek,
For my soul, by thee like
With hyssop had been
Purged.
In the utmost serene
Plane I lay.
Greatest of all mirth
And sublimity I find
When my eyes I close,
Deep breaths I take.
Transcended, my fragmented
Psyche, by cares of this dark
Terrestrial realm, integrates.
For on an apogee of purity
Of the beyond it anchors,
Where a verdant pasture
Of serenity it relishes.
A pearl, but meretricious by
Skeptics christened thou
Truly art.
(A REPOST)
Everlastingly, oh Lord.
Thy purity stands.
Unchangeable strength.
Thy right ways endure.
Throughout time, man needed.
For eternity, God has loved.
Forever unfolds its secrets.
Understanding offers hope.
Endurance integrates perfection.
Man becomes an improve soul.
One well-chosen day at a time –
Power to choose right.
Given to each living soul.
Holiness greets goodliness.
Man’s dreams of joy sublime.
Leads him to spiritual places.
The gift from Father,
His only begotten Son.
Altogether lovely,
Forgiveness bestowed.
Exaltation becomes reality.
Everlastingly.
Hold on, stand up, and enjoy the sound
Move in, jump off, just don't sit down
The floor gives way, rewind and replay
Listen to the drum that our love plays
An off-beat number at an allegro tempo
Tick-tock metronome, clock unstoppable
Sensations of vibes coming deep within
Rhythm integrates into my soul & blood
The waves cascading across my eardrums
Drowning my mind in some melodic flood
My heart in motion
palpitates a wild tarantella,
resonates vibrant valves
and grieves for you,
my choosing.
Then juiced on devotion,
elevates a blue umbrella,
supplicates and salves,
in letting go,
fears losing.
The reversal of motion
integrates calming distance,
initiates fast retreat,
this failing heart
lest I forget it.
No more to cry an ocean,
abdicates my once insistence,
resuscitate a love so sweet
become my life,
and not regret it.
