MY EXAMPLE as an EKPHRASIS*
the
image
triggering
stark sensations
drawn by the simple abstract shapes
* my wide interpretation of EKPHRASIS*extends beyond a piece of art to include the artist ,styles of art,history of art AND MUSIC& similar creativity
The crested waves were like frills, rolling toward me
I want to be that light, carefree, worry free
Led by the tides that pull me
Floating effortlessly to the shore
Where you are waiting for me
Where I know, everything will be ok, when I am there
I dream of a secluded island with white sand
Where there is nothing but love and peace
Such thoughts are needed in this world...
That has become so hectic, so full of concerns
Clouded by difficulties, weighed upon by challenges
Oh, let me be the crested wave
Letting go of all my troubles before I land...
So the impression that I leave,
Is newly, fresh, upon the sand

Isn't it ironic inaccuracy challenges accuracy?
Isn't it odd how tumult subtly challenges calm?
Awareness pulls quite fewer minds than morality.
If it could make me laugh to drain the psalm.
Would you wish to grip the tale genuinely?
Spotting the duality inside non-duality.
Or maybe to grasp the Nonduality in Duality.
We paint the pure truth that covers all reality!
The unique chaos occurs in the mind.
No psyche intrusion now needs to be refined.
The only uphills sum those minds generate.
That you early realize with and venerate.
A beguiling blossom sprouts from filth,
And soon soften back in the water that spilth.
All that comes to shape out of nowhere.
All things eventually vanish into thin air.
Blankness is all that is left, assertive credibility.
Be this void; return to your actual personality.
Purely be an immense wrap of receptiveness.
Where does nothing bias and all are faultless?
Evaluate how firm stray notions fade softly
Concede such emotions will vanish rapidly.
This concept of self and life itself is futile.
Where's the way to free mystic truths utile?
I could unwind below, free from buzz "I and mine."
A superb state is one that is unevenly sublime.
There is no Earth below but rather Heaven above.
No need for a navigator when our guide is love.

Treat yourself, why don't you
Only you know the sacrifice
And how short life can be
Seek the small pleasures before
They escape you forever
Happiness is on a plate
Annotate your life with fantastic
Stories of immense
Hope and adventure
Bravely respond to life's challenges
Recuperate when necessary
Organise and rest
Weave peace into your schedule
Never compromise on self-care
But be generous. Outrageously so..
Encounters are opportunities
Anxiety is the thief of your joy
Never let the loud noises dictate.
Silence your spirit, surrender to God
Whatever good things
Arrive at your table
Festivities or
Failures
Learn every lesson
Embrace each with gratitude
Seasons mean growth; under or above ground
Oh my darling I met you on here
I will love you forever
never looking at another
you are my whole wide world.
Bah! what a load of cods wallop
dream on enjoy your fantasy
for if there's one sure thing
it will all end in tears.
Love takes time to grow
if it is to last.
It needs nurturing
and time spent together.
What one gets on line
is just a flash in the pan
sweet talking words and
maybe cam sex, are no go.
Love thrives on challenges
thrown up by everyday life.
You have to experience both
the good and definitely the bad.
Anything else is an illusion
although seeming sweet now
I have seen these internet affairs
that explode in wild passion.
Yet where are they six months later?
gone like a puff of wind
the canvas torn apart
the illusion shattered.
Bah! its a load of cods wallop
a fantasy existing only in your mind
sweet at the time to be sure
but when it ends someone is in tears.
While their so called love
moves on to someone new
its all just a game
and some play it so well.
Black Magic Potions
Across vacancy memories invoke forgotten years
Exodus from antipathy inscrutably liberates fears
Intransience spiritually battles amoral challenges
Crucially revitalized measures presaging changes
Deceptions obscure lies within fraudulent sleeves
Bringing adversaries down indictments aggrieves
Justifications echoing beyond overpowering roars
Unlike forsaken vessels reality lands upon shores
Probing mortal frailties evading blind perceptions
Enlightenment transcend old black magic potions
Delusion transmogrified into vanishing blemishes
Swept along eroding waves of abandoned wishes

Aboard cruise liner:
Splendour of the Seas
Every time autumn's frigidness wears away the leaves grips and cause them to fall.
Summer's once green life withers away to return to mother earth.
Like every mother she knows when the time has come,
Whether it's a bird pushed from the nest,
or an infant child's first breath,
maternal instinct mixed with offspring love, together knows best.
The real test is when winter's bitter cold desires the sun,
lands are frozen, inhabiters run,
birds soar towards the south,
the worst's yet to come.
Continual Cycle of seasons of change
Constantly challenges the strong, the willing, and brave.
I know when MY spring blossomed a life that I can call mine,
summer followed and seemed endless forever alive.
Deep inside your mind a day can last forever,
fall slowly creeps by, while we all spend winter together.
magnetic currents deepen
within mind body prism
nectar erasing poison
filling all chasms
involuntary tremor
challenges concepts
although climb steeper
fearless spirit stands erect
vicarious knowing laid to rest
the bliss ignition continual
divine caress persists
humming renewal
even as we we bask
in the elixirous bliss flow
question on death is asked
willingness to shed form hollow
upon melding with energy divine
identity gradually falls away
as closer to love we align
lesser attention sways
form cannot contain
electricity beyond a limit
thus one day to rest is lain
Christ Self then shines perfect
thus twice born we still live on
as vibrational God presence
in any form we may don
as light of innocence

So many challenges cross one's path
in the course of life many more than one
this all created a real fear deep down
what could one do? this wasn't any fun
When fear comes it ties a knot
how do you untie this in your tum?
all your nerve ends are tangled up
this dilemma all makes one glum
But there is a way to rise again
and paradoxically it's to go down
on your knees no less to bow
to the one who wears a crown
Speak to the God of the universe
for He will give you courage full
then you'll can put your fear behind
so gaining victory being nobody's fool
Now that is a way to win your battle
finding courage in the midst of fear
put your fear below you forcibly
receive God's courage keep in top gear
(Beverly Lewis quotation:
"Courage is fear on its knees.")
My life
Fear I never let
To grow in my life
Cos I have been touched
With out a finger
An invisible touch
By the mentors
That spark me
My life
Am a miracle
Am a magic
Am not sudden
But suddenly am out there
Living like a lion
Living like the sky was
My beginning
Cos am touched with an
Invisible powers
That is an inner light
I bear to life in
My life
My life
hardship
I refuse to be my hindrance
Cos my mentors never had
A life full of Rose's
Difficulties and challenges
I disagreed to be my fear
Cos I have been spark out
Of the fears of life
Since my life was touched
By those I adore
But despite I have a mentor
Yet I fear to die without living
My life
