Premium Member In the vast tapestry of life, where thoughts weave threads of untamed dreams
In the vast tapestry of life, where thoughts weave threads of untamed dreams, we move like wandering stars through galaxies of happenstance, seeking directions in the random constellations of existence, where reason unravels in waves of mist and fleeting light. Philosophies are maps drawn on the sands of time, promising us islands of certainty in the endless ocean of doubt, but...

Premium Member THE WAKE WITOUT VIGIL
THE WAKE WITHOUT VIGIL Time longer than rope Chokes hearts dangling In the reality of struggle:- Grieving mothers and widows Veil their grief in sagging bosoms As they wail in excruciating silence:- Fragments of men, void of hope, View and count communal graves Swelling with dirt burying the dead:- (Buried are “The Wretched Of...

Premium Member TO LABORING IN FAITH AND LOVE
When love is working, hate is busy challenging; faith, busy winning:- Where love is working, melting away all despair, hate is as ice in the sun:- In labors of love, injustice is defeated; and justice is won:- Let love’s heart lead you: the fuel-pump of your courage, justice’s compass:- Be a love worker, dismantling oppression, building liberty:- There’s crucifixion, and there is resurrection; be God’s laborer:- ...

Premium Member CHOOSE PEACE
Troubled men chase illusive Peace with sharpened knives and smoking guns. They recklessly wield all manner of weapons under the sinking, blood-red sun. But Peace is an individual choice, evoked through conscious decision That arises from deliberate and heart-felt aversion for the ultimate collision. At the personal level, if you are not at Peace it means you have chosen wrongly. Your reality rests in...

Premium Member By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find
Why do we call the good old days, good? Grandma was always talking, talking about the days that had passed. I wonder if they were really that good, or does our mind play a trick on us? Grandma loved sitting on her porch, looking out over her land in her rocking chair. Now the old rustic white fence, is falling down...

In another life, I'd be your mother
To the world you are just a person But to me you are the world You are the rarest of the rare To the point no one can compare Every hug healing a piece of me you didn't break Everytime you smile I know that no matter what I go through I'll always have you You are my heart And nothing...

Premium Member Give Me The Rhythm
Your whisper is in the burble of the spring stream. You pass through the internodes like rays through a prism. I have composed my lyrics. I would like to sing. My morphemes are coarse. Could you give me your rhythm? Aesthetics and passions amalgamate in me. My soul finds solace in your consoling bosom. Sentiments break within me, like waves of...

Life is a Puzzle
Life is a puzzle, piece by piece, Some truths we see, only through a lace, In your heart, heaven’s vision does start, See the destiny, then play your part. Dare to see the world anew, Like a child with wonder true. Celebrate the rare, embrace the right, Find divine in common sight. Walk with those who lift your soul, Who guide you to...
