The Moon La Luna

At night the moon is glowing upon the landscapes and oceans..
Ocean shimmers in the dark..
Mysterious night shimmers..
Dance in the atmosphere..
Moon is full and tides are high..
Shimmering moonlight is a lovely sight.
We can feast our eyes..
Glancing upon the sky..
visions of glow in the dark..
Surrounded by darkness..
Whistling winds..
Sounds of the ocean..
High tides sings a tune of its own melody..
The stars in the sky are of abundance..
Stars dominate the night skies..
Each star has a life of its own..
A star is born..
There are only beginnings..
Endings are never..
Stars are infinite..
We are the stars..
We are infinite..
We sustain infinity..
We are eternal..
No boundaries..
No limitations exist..
Unlimited access to being infinite eternally....

Bus Ride Across America

the Bus – Travels Through America’s Underbelly

I am a bus rider
That makes me unusual
For a white male 
From an upper middle class family

Our people are not bus riders
Though some are subway riders

Bus riders are other people
The poor, minorities, immigrants
People who don’t drive
Because they are blind
Or have a DUI

And in my case
I don’t drive
Because I have bad vision
And bad coordination
Just never got the hang 
Of the whole driving thing

Fortunately for me  
My wife does the driving 
But I still take the bus
From time to time

I rode the AC buses in Berkeley
As a child
Line 67, line 51, line 43 F bus
Rode them long before BART came along
And afterwards as well

As an adult seldom rode the bus 
But when I did so
I was always impressed 
By the sheer diversity 
Of the bus riding property

Hundreds of languages
All sorts of sexual orientation
Some were white
Most were not

Most of my fellow passengers
Were nice enough
Some were friendly
And some were lost 
In their own thoughts

And a few 
Were scary looking dudes
With the look
Of someone who had done time
And were capable of more violence

I also rode the bus 
In Seattle as a graduate student
A lot of fellow UW students
And the usual immigrants
Minorities etc

And some white people
Commuting

And in DC 
Over the years
I rode a lot of buses

Mostly to and from the metro
But I got to know 
And love the DC buses as well

I also took the greyhound bus
Across the country
Several times over the years
All over the U.S.

From Bay Area to Stockton
From Bay Area to Clear Lake
From Bay area to NYC
NYC to DC
All over the USA

Taking the Greyhound
Was always an an adventure
Met a lot of interesting people
As people on long distant bus rides
Tend to open up and talk
To pass the time away

Overseas I took the bus 
All over
In India, in Barbados
In Spain and in Korea

The Korean buses 
For many years 
Were difficult for foreign visitors
As the signs were all in Korean

Most have signs 
Now in English, Chinese and Korean
And are much more foreigner friendly

Riding the bus
In America
Allows one access 
To the underbelly of American society
The poor, the marginalized
The immigrant communities

That many middle-class white people
Just never see

And for that reason
I am glad	
That I am a bus rider

Old Hag

Bursting with passion at the seam,
  She entered and settled in the room.
  Intent on telling them it is good to dream,
  She showed them proof bound in the spines of books.
  Taught them that centuries of change
  Had granted free access to being visible.
  Their eyes gleamed with purpose
  To think their dreams were permissible.
  Like prisoners who had fully served their time,
  They strapped hope on their backs,
  Promise throbbing in their hearts
  When she told them the condition was benign.
   And with tireless exhilaration
   She invited them to stand.
   She stitched their wings with her
   Magic wand.
   But just when
   they were to take flight,
   a shriek filled the air
   It was an ominous sight
   As the old hag
   Swooped in
   on her systematic broom.
    Stole
    their dreams.
    Left them gagged.

Premium Member Delusion


 "Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion." Jim Rohn

The question: Am I open-minded, closed-minded, or delusional?
Sometimes, we mortals desire to believe in the unbelievable.
Therefore, we must choose our teachers and mentors wisely.

Wisdom says to wait and investigate before it is too late.
He who approves before 'taking one to school' is unwise.
To affirm without heavy questioning is foolishness.

Regardless of whether our field of endeavor is religion,
politics, or business, we must avoid dictators and deceivers.
A person or world in depression has little room for discretion.

If I am delusional, I have been deceived.
If deceived, I have accepted a false belief.
I have been overpowered or misled by persuasion.

I have trusted something or someone who's not trustworthy.
I am then ripe for the pickings by anyone desirous of my fruit.
For so during, I have become a victim like an ant in a spider's web.

I lack the necessary discipline to examine and scrutinize what has been
placed before me. The cleverness of the deceiver is such that I have
willingly legitimized and given accent and access to the forbidden.

Rowing Fundamentalists Over Baptism

Fundamentalist Christians row over piecemeal things, 
Over whether baptism is required for heavenly sings, 
Over whether baptism is needed for heaven’s welcome, 
Over whether baptism is demanded by god to overcome. 

I don’t know how many times I was asked about baptism, 
Whether I wanted baptised, they didn’t accept my atheism, 
I’d stated it to my parents but had a question in my mind, 
About whether they’d told my so called friends who’d mind. 

But I said no, and explained Christian atheism fair, square, 
Didn’t mix my words nor hesitate to extrapolate with air, 
But each one said to me I didn’t know my own mind simply, 
Which left me very distressed, very much in a quandary. 

They were playing the mentally ill card, when I was not, 
They wanted to patronise me to chide and see what I’d got, 
But I didn’t like it so withdrew from their sphere, company, 
Which made me feel better, gave me dignity and harmony. 

A stillness with life and a peace about my so uncertain future, 
A habit of reading, even if I’d already read them in conjecture, 
Since my parents restricted me to only five philosophy books, 
In case for researchers and academics, thinkers, I had looks. 

A fundamentalist household is not a peaceful one, stable, 
But is distressed, fragmented and broken, that’s irrefutable, 
You suffer displacement because your atheist leaves you, 
To ruminate upon his interjection which is to see you through. 

I think it’s better today, atheists in god families have voice, 
They can be respected for devious acts of normality, choice, 
They can refer to teachers for love, for secularist edification, 
And have access to the medical profession for an adulation.


A Tribute To Justin a Bordner

Of the many stars I have seen,
Justin, you are by far the most exquisite
I love how you just mold into my heart,
Sifting the words we share part by part,
Lighting the path to inspiration,
Attaining your lightning connotation

I love how you relate to my struggles,
Allowing my feet to rest on your gentle wings,
How your loving eyes look in-between the lines,
To see inside such poetry, the divine intertwine

You do not waste your time in the sky,
Rising every moment in your heightening knowledge
You burn brighter for what matters
You hold tighter to the light with gladness,
And you are not afraid in the prowling wilderness
You are never afraid to express your genius

Long ago, I had wandered in the haze of many a soul
Closed and withdrawn in the strolls of dark foes
In your luminous presence, you awakened this dreamer
My eyes widening in the unity of word-weavers
To access your bloom was to shatter all doom
And in awe, I aspired to be a part of you

I love that you care of my virtues,
How you give and give tremendously
How we understand each other in synchronizing energy out of this world
I love that you will feel my heart, as I do yours
I will love these truths forevermore

A tribute to this burning star is never enough
You have inspired me beyond what I can see
Beyond what dreams a dreamer be
And for that, I must thank you,
As you persevere in your incomparable brightness
To illuminate my path, and our paths, 
Into the extraordinary, eternal unearthing of fate, fervor and fortune

Premium Member Happy Easter Day - 2

This is the day
When we reach toward heaven
Whispering, praying
To the Creator of everything
The One who gave us
A second chance to say to Him
Thank you, God… for grace
Thank you for this chance
To reach out in faith
And take the hand that was nailed
To a cross just three days before this.

This is the day
When we yearn to lift our voices in praise
Of the One who made a way
For us to finally say
We can visit heaven someday
Even though we’ve sinned along the way
He didn’t leave us in our sin
But chose to save us from anguish

This is the day
When we whisper through our tears
Joy that is beyond words
Because we have access to the One
Who made a way for us to go home
A way for us to pray and praise
A way for us to know the meaning of grace

This is the day
When faith will find a way
To finally reach heaven and say
He is risen – He is alive!
He survives the tests of demise
He is the Savior – He is the life
He is ascended to heaven
Where He awaits His many disciples
Those of us who know Him 
As Jesus Christ, the victor
The way to finally find true life
Hidden inside the soul
Where He left us the Holy Ghost
To remind us that He abides
There, inside, ALIVE…
Providing a light to shine
Brighter than moon and stars
Wiser than the lemon sun
Purer than the hope of a love
This beautiful, this kind
This full of everlasting life

This is the day
When I come to God to say
Thank you – I praise You
For this Easter, I remember
Your love, Your joy, Your grace
The home where you made a place
For me to come into your embrace
Hallelujah – Happy Easter Day!

This generation

How, could I compare this generation, 
whom have been given access to reap,
 what they have not sown for.
To think in church in this time ,
 one could play audio Bible to learn,
 from the Ones who died to give this to you. 
But, how the division would be in the voice picked,
and a preacher running to stop it from revealing the truth, 
to talk over what the Spirit of God has given.



Church world so eager to judge outwardly,
While, we should look inwardly to come in Unity.
Through, the promised inheritance of the Holy Spirit.
Then, those outwardly would seek this Living God,
That, is dwelling within each tablenacule,
A dwelling not made by human hands,

Premium Member Abandoned

I sit here feeling so abandoned
Will I ever get there again
No hygiene care and the need to go
I haven’t been there since I don’t know when
Access blocked, I’m waiting it seems tears
Just one more time before I die
I’m growing older waiting my turn
Think I’ll stand here forever and cry
What’s taking so long
Is there something wrong
Pretty soon it will no longer matter
I’m beginning to feel weird
I think I’m growing a beard
Someone put a nuclear device in my bladder
My wife said stop your crying 
It’s not like you’re dying
You’re cackling like an old hen
I can’t help it dear
But It seems like a year
Our daughter’s in the bathroom again.
