Reverberations of roosters' crows

                                through the hollow of opposing hills

The cymbal section of nature's band


Singing male Mockingbird such varied notes
                                
                                     Answer by a female but her tune is always the same

Noooooooooo!!

He answers cu-----te, pur___ty, come Here~~er~er

The same answer from her nooooooo!!!

Another female flys up and lands on the fence
 
                                            nesting material in her mouth

She was lured away by someone's call____

This foggy morn, nice, cool, a few minutes on the porch

                                  Then responsibility to complete today's work since I answered someone's call_____

   going gamesomely gra grave,

to Bing mulct emotionally, physically and spiritually - 
   all the grinding hardships would be gone in a flash
how tempting to seek ot a solution sans hemlock 
   or other deadly potion, 

   whereby toothless mouth need not gnash
boot simply swallow and drink from the goblet of 
   mortal freedoms renting psych ass under 
   with purposelessness mine hash

tag, which bout with suicide 
   while n the edge of thirteen - 
   Anorexia nervosa defeated - 
   then as now experience 
   10,000 banshee maniacs whip lash

lacerating, flagellating, 
   and repeatedly rousing thoughts 
   shin to circle back to why death be not proud 
   when life on par with a mash

up of ennui, futile gobbledygook housing incubus

   from the womb, his reddened ears did bash
from sonic screaming boom causing astir the nurses

Premium Member White Snow Falls

As the clouds gather banking against each other rolling in from the south
filled with water to release, the pines sigh a low key tune.  

pecan trees small limbs
rock to the breeze's music
white snow falls from pears  

Solid dark clouds accumulate blotting out the blue patches of sky. The sun peeks
through here and there from time to time. The breeze stirs the pines to resound a
rolling bass melody accompanied by the wind chimes humming out tenor and soprano.
Two cars go down the road with tires playing soft cymbal sounds.

The oak's chartreuse blooms
rock to the breeze's music...
the bird grips limb

" identify "

it's a part that tickles
on the inside

" nine "
materials merging
to form one mind

a dangerous game
well worth the ride

a serpent
bares her eyes...

chaotic straightaway

wings without a butterfly

and the matter... is choice

dark formations
in a singular voice

sights to be seen
and the vanishing
happens
where last you've been

" realities "
revolve to solve
" a paradox "

an elusive equation
leads manifestation
and a possible collision
in degrees of separation


" nothing is mad "
if a matter of inclusion


"...the Core Matters..." are at hand


1 Corinthians 13 on
Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body,a but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.

11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. 12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

Hebrews 13:1
13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

Premium Member Humidity in Kansas City

July 21st, 2025
It’s 8:43 a.m.
the humidity in Kansas City is worse than a sauna
twittering birds are doing noisy conversing
there is loud annoying haha of a crow

in the distance I can hear a barking dog
my dogs do not seem to hear this
they are staring in the direction of the crows
there are three of them, flying single file
Haha haha haha laughing crows

a super large black ant zoom-crawls toward me
large black rain spots appear on my gray asphalt driveway
there is a loud cymbal sound of thunder
both dogs enter doggie door, seeking refuge of the house
it is raining flat out now
I see steam rises from the asphalt

Premium Member Return To Mass (St. John Vianney)

A night's jog through a quiet town.
The strange warmth of an old familiar church.
The morning sun and outside sounds.
Picking the proper jeans, beguiled and besmirched.
Cautious steps inside as anxiety melts off from incense.
The light from the window above my pew.
The love from a girl's eyes aching and iridescent.
A cymbal struck as faces work like brightened ghosts, the heart's early hue.
The flow of a smoky-lighted hour, from soil to sinews, soaks the sodden rag
of the spirit dry, as the walk back into the sun and out of the Mass makes love lag
in the mist of living.
For every cornering thought.
For every bend of the heart.
For every shade of a tree.
And, in stabbing, singular rushes,
For every level of light that I might be.

Premium Member A Bible Poem

In the beginning, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
              This could have been a fruit like a date or a red apple. 
              It certainly was not for us to sample.  
              Consequently, God made animal skin robes to cover 
              their bodies down to their naked ankles. 
           
              The first sacrifice of a lamb was done by righteous
              Abel. God accepted his offering, that he
              did gladly put on the offering table.
     
              Noah built the Ark; by grace his family 
              with the animals assembled. Then came
              the rain floods that descended from heaven.

              The Israelites blew their mouths like a
              trumpet at Jericho, then the walls crumbled.

              The wooden Ark of the covenant covered by gold 
              is a physical symbol, toward God’s spiritual
              agreements.

              David took a smooth stone, a big pebble
              and conquered Goliath the Giant.

              Man may stumble and man may tumble.
              Pray always to be able, stable and humble.

              Jesus took up His cup, which the Father gave
              Him and never did fumbled it but did drink from it.

              There are musical instruments that give
              harmonious sounds for worship; some
              are the piano, drums, timbral and cymbal.

              People keep your body a holy temple.
              Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ is our perfect
              example.

              To do righteousness is holiness unto God.
              Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of host.

              We are in the last days. Things are going
              to happen that will cause the whole earth
              to rumble and tremble. God will save His
              own elect from the end time crucible.
             
              After all these things, God shall appear to
              reign forever and ever in His majesty,
              beauty, goodness, holiness, righteousness,
              and greatness forever and ever.
              Hallelujah, Amen!

Paraclete

I feel him there all day and night.
In my dreams, he speaks to me and makes my burden light.

His voice is like a soft and beautiful cymbal.
His turn of phrase makes my heart quick and my mind nimble.

His righteous utterance of confidence during the day,(sigh) shows me the way.

In retrospect, he was always there during my jejunity.
My father left me and my mother was not caring enough to love me.

He laid his finger on my heart and I felt his love.
His sweet and indomitable breath guided me to rise above.

I was abused by many antagonists and callous people over the years.
He fed me the fruit of his righteousness and chased away my fears.

He has made my life bountiful.
He has rectified my inefficient life so that I can become skillful.

In my winter solstice, I feel that time is nearing the fall of my withering and fermenting flesh to the earth.
My prayer is that my soul will bloom into immortal mirth.
