Forgiveness is finding a way to
Overlook hurt that someone has inflicted on you
Reasons for the hurt are not always understood
Giving forgiveness is usually good
It sometimes takes a very long time
Valient efforts to put aside a “crime”
Everyone creates their own circumstance
Not all give others a second chance
Expressing forgiveness isn’t always accepted
Sometimes the wrong doing is awfully deflected
Sorry’s been said it is your choice to take it
Is the person sincere? Or trying to fake it?
Saying “I’m sorry” is it just words
Do they really mean it or are they being absurd?
If you find it in your heart and choose to forgive
Virtue is learned, you’ve helped someone live
If you forgive “it” must not happen again
No more wrong tolerated by you from them
Everyone’s forgiveness is different some takes much time
It comes from the heart..to forgive is divine

Heart of Gold
She camouflages her gold
vaulted in smiles
shrouded in humor
glimmers of hope suspended
her armor is made to shield
arrows of affection deflected
Amour was histories last dance
only a pirate of captains rank
would understand this ancient map
splintered shovel may be rusted
sea salt takes its toll
every pirate seeks a treasure
and sails the world to know
where such gems may be buried
alas when you find good fortune
put your feet to land
traverse fields of flowers
and give that gal your hand
Kiss her tenderness, buried beneath
lofty passions
after a heart so pure
treasures to beholden
love often interred far en deep
(This is a fictional poem)
I went to bed last night and I had a strange dream.
It was amazing how real it seemed.
In the dream my limbs were cut off by a lightsaber.
Then my body got badly burned and I became Darth Vader.
I was dressed in black and I had the mask and cape.
I got robot limbs and I was evil and consumed by hate.
The good guys tried to shoot me but I deflected the shots from their guns.
By the end of the dream, the dark side won.
When I woke up, I was glad.
I couldn't believe the dream that I had.
In the dream I left many people dead.
That's the last time I'll watch Star Wars right before I go to bed.

“Be happy in the moment that's enough. Each moment is all we need.”
Quote _ Mother Teresa
As time brings glee days,
As we sojourn on bloom ways,
Let’s treasure the clime,
For it's a fleeting sublime.
Life is a stage of variant entities,
They come in subtleties,
It’s a walk across meadows,
Nightfall brings the shadows.
Happiness is a choice,
A punctuating voice,
A light that can be reflected,
As gloom can be deflected.
Like a child on a swing,
Away from life's other wing,
We can walk oblivious of gloom,
Permuting our desired room.

After doing my author duties
Got to the pub for a futbol beauty
Liverpool Chelsea in a duel under the lights
Should go down to the final seconds I do write
But the score before I order is one nil
Hoping the Champions would be able to overcome this chill
I must say Chelsea did the early work
Even before I picked up my fork
Another half has come along
And the Reds must be feeling a little bit wrong
It had been nearly 144 minutes since they did their goal song and dance
Giving no chance for the coronavirus to advance
How up setter they could be with all this time no netter we see
Returning to the bridge Chelsea had marching orders
Having full control, no need for any confusing match related reason to sorter
Aggressive they do play
I must say
Making the English Premiere Champions earn their pay
Reds are the season star
While Chelsea works the FA Cup bar
Due to Liverpool mistakes
They must line up and show what it takes
To defend themselves from the direct kicks
Standing strong without any knowledge of sporting tricks
Hearing the little prayer, it was deflected over there
It did not go in
No need for Liverpool to call the tournament next of kin
A little later Chelsea did close the deal
Giving reality the news visiting Liverpool was not going to win a steal
Liverpool still holds the top spot in the EPL
While Chelsea realizes they are still in it as a marketing tool for the sport to sell
Nearly 188 minutes without a goal
Time to warm up using the boxer day gift of the stocking stuffer coal
But the boys in blue will continue towards the FA Cup crown
While now its time to celebrate with a night on the town.
If the anchorage of the wayward mind is unsteady
Unbound from the righteous roots of sanctified soul
In the dislodging thrust of the upwelling desires
The untamed instincts rush feral on sordid trail.
The unbridled mind turns into a predator animal
Breaks away from the shackles of virtuous sanity
Chases the prey on the track made by brutal craving
The basic instincts morph into entities base and virile.
Deflected from the course shown by the moral compass
Time plunges the being in the vortex of vicious storm
Breaking it down into discarded debris of wreckage
While the voice of God echoes in conscience unheard.
Life is the embodiment of the unique existence
The construct of divine elements almighty chooses
Manifest magnificently suffused with heavenly essence
Within the trinity of coalescing body, mind and soul.
Beneath the surface of perceptive mortal senses
The mind builds all the dreams it desires to see
Allured by aspirations into the dark unawareness
It suffers wandering in the wilderness of barren life.
Under the convolute layers of the clouded mind
At the sinister inner depth resides the gloomy soul
Until awareness dawns with the light of eternal truth
Builds unbetrayed the holy linkage with the absolute.
Travelling on the enlightened pathway of devout life
An inward journey to the sacred sanctum of spiritualism
Takes the soul to the ultimate destination of liberation
Where consciousness perceives the meaning of existence.

“joy or pain, neither seek nor resist
vaporise to become, a bliss mist”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turbid storms in realm of duality
Inevitably will bring to us pain
Fearful contractions mar serenity
Unless fickle ego, to rest is lain
Pain bemuses whilst joy hypnotises
Either way unstable is our fulcrum
Truth being life is full of surprises
Trauma we feel, ego residuum
Interim measure, hypnotic healing
Wherein one thought displaces another
With thought polarities thus rotating
Attention deflected, pain we smother
Neither suppression nor sublimation
Both propositions are inadequate
Ostrich syndrome not the solution
For how many fears can we thus placate
It is not trauma then but our response
Determining state of our consciousness
Thus, looking at identity askance
We shift into calm silence and stillness
An open heart is all that is needed
Receptive to divine love magnetism
Unbound if ego urges receded
Each node within, joyous sensorium
Awaken now oh hermit, from slumber
Enjoy this movie, with childlike wonder

(syllabic rhyme)
Summer swan song dissolves in autumn romance,
clumps of cloud caressed by the silk of sapphire sky
wait for the northern wind to hold the hands to dance
on the edge of kaleidoscopic horizon before they fly.
The garden path laces the blushing trees facing the fall,
wilted umber leaves weave the tapestry of blazing hue,
the autumn music resonates in the rustle as they crawl,
reclined grass of cinnamon meadow dons crown of dew.
Washed by consumed summer’s spell of departing spray
the twilight sky simmers in the setting sun’s sinking flare,
from the forest’s amber canopy all the birds soar away,
the shadow of tinged foliage floats on waves of crisp air.
The deflected arrays of moonbeam ripple on your face,
from amorous sea knitted pearls on swells of joy sprawl,
whispering autumn breeze wraps you in ardent embrace,
as with the stardust a million sparks of my yearning fall.

It was a strong opponent,
it fought against us very well.
Many of us were slaughtered
before it finally went down.
Again and again it tried to run,
but we chased it down each time.
We will never give up the hunt.
We will always persevere.
But this one had surprised us;
it flashed its hardened steel.
It cut down many of the pack
and deflected our attacks.
Eventually we brought it down.
We got in behind and hamstrung it.
Then when it fell to its knees
we leapt for its throat.
We did not revel in victory however,
too many of the pack had died this night.
Instead we lamented our dead
by howling at the moon.
Tonight, the hunt went wrong.
Tonight, we lost our kin.
But tomorrow will bring a new hunt.
We will never give it up.
What do healthy systems,
naturally spirited,
ecologically enlightened
and ego-politically empowered swell
Wellness
anthro-economic networks
wonder,
often wander around
what do wealthy mindbody systems do
when the Body squarely says
"I'm doing all I can comfortably do"
And the unsatisfied Mind asks
"Why is my need for healthy integrity
neglected
deflected
ignored
unrestored?"
at least half
my less than thriving
time
in your embodied space
In musical pace
and game face
and systems empirical place
anticipating lyrical theory embrace,
This BodyMind feels a dissonant gap
between a comfortably expected
repetitively resonant accord
in music narrative compositions
as traditionally played
and replayed pitch perfect
military march uniformity
with RightBody empowered control
Over-riding a deeply serene
enlightened LeftMind unity
preference becoming contenting content
of EarthTribe's sacred stereophonic
love story, life systemic
Waiting curiously,
and thereby less impatiently
win/lose pushing individual performance,
self-prophetically solo lonely
Waiting for our next cooperative
muse amusing immersion
peak climatic experience
designed
orchestrated
choreographed
Win/Win improvisational
in sacred
therapeutic scores
and scales
of resonant empowering harmony
enlightening multi-lateral symphony
in keys of bicameral rhapsody,
health/wealth systemic
ecstasy.
What do healthy systems,
naturally spirited,
ecologically enlightened
and ego-politically empowered smell
retell outside swell
escaping inside
consumer retail hell.
