****************
a luminous day is what I offered you
within the harbor of my spirit
you morphed into a phoenix
and soared in the sky of my desires
you flew in ecstasy
The pink sun bathed you with tenderness
you were unaware of my canvas
a lovely spring breeze arrived
my dream depicts the dust of love
ultimate joy
brightened my day
you found a raw version of me
In the arid oasis of my existence,
your specter lingered in my soul
a haze of silver-lined zeal glimmered
diverting the tsunami of kismet
the full moon slipped you by
celestial dust drifted from the soft sky
zephyr longing concerto soared
you recall, I serenaded for you
I succumbed to darkness
you never inquired as for my day
I sacrificed since you deserved it
so my day could worship you
do you want to comprehend?
the essence of real love.
genuine love is when you continue
to appreciate someone
even after the first feelings fade
even when they drive you to despair
love remains
as it was at the onset
an embrace, a kiss upon the lips
the feeling from our initial kiss
though the past vanished
fondness in my soul lingers
she might cease to love me
but I continue to adore her
I am insatiable for ampler
just akin to a wealthy man
even if she bruises me badly
I'd still long her in my arms
I'd still wish to have her by my side
even if she always stumbled me
thus, despite the pain
she'd induce me
even if she didn't need me
I would still long for her return
so, when you truly adore someone
it never truly fades away
even through grief and loss
I believe, defines real love
Education Secretary Ellen,
Some of us
on the EarthCare Team
and also the Transport Solutions Committee
for special projects
are wondering
and, frankly, hoping
Your green STEAM students
and teachers
might research,
design,
and help residents paint
a historically accurate
AND polyculturally exquisite
series of murals
On our two-tiered
upper, more transcendently hopeful,
and lower, more historically faithful,
retaining walls
After our crumbling concrete parking pads
and steel-framed industrial artifacts
are hauled away
with respect and gratitude
for future repurposing
Our Transport Solutions
and EarthCare Elders
hope to use this transitional moment
to divert water runoff
to north and south bermed
and graceful descent
down toward our sacred RiverGaia,
rather than continuing to run
race
to disgrace our wet unhealthy basement
Thereby diverting soiled water stains
from historic runoff narrative face
retaining walled epic paintings,
perhaps combined with etching,
to tell a true and beautiful tale
about this sacred place
where we live
and work,
garden
and enjoy our EarthCare classroom
residence,
inside and outside
As did indigenously wise
Elders before us
And RiverGaia
learned Her future shape and flow
from ancient predative
cold
relentless icey white glaciers,
As will future natural construction
and deconstruction regenerators,
Thermal students
of green STEAM polyculturing Elders,
including co-invested us
Learning new Truth
and old Beauty Stories
Of how EarthCare givers
and health-care receivers
survived mistrust
to compassionately,
nonviolently
exquisitly thrive together
more better
when less apart.
May 10 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Job 8-11
Key Verse – Job 9:2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY TRUTH ENFORCER
Lord God, You are my truth Enforcer,

'Stars!' 'Yes stars!'
Much marveled the wizard moon
When I thought of the stars
Deep into that darkness skiing
'Stars!' said I, 'thing of beauty starlight.'
Flung so lightening virtuoso
Inward such an adept, stellar waiting
'Stars!' said I, 'thing of starlight.'
It was uptight
Suddenly, I heard some tapping
The diverting development delving
And the planets never snapping
I have dreamed of the astronomers
My mind always strays to storms
I threw my planetary nebula upon the floor
Eagerly I looked for the leverage
I crave the pushy, planet pressure
I discovered the supernovae
When I thought of the stars
Deep into that darkness skiing
'Stars!' said I, 'thing of beauty starlight.'
'Stars!' 'Yes stars!'

What Child Is This
“What child is this”
who came to earth,
knowing earth's ruler
would deplore?
“What child is this”
who came to earth,
knowing His torture
in store?
What Father is this
who loved so much,
to sacrifice His Own
flesh and blood?
A Divine Lamb, who
on a mountain stood,
offered all Earth-kingdoms
if only He, the status-quo
would let be? – “What child
is this”, who when Mary, kneeling
at His feet, diverting her eyes, He
spoke: No dear one, look up at Me~
take hold of your Brother's Hands
– and Rise!?

We have the purveyors
That hide the truth
Causing division
Poising the minds of youths
With hateful ideologies
And entangled roots
In a confused state
They spread the lies
In a toll of consequences
And on the streets
Innocents die
Their aim is but one
To keep us in a cage
Whilst they bask in glory
Of ill-begotten gains
Equality and justice
They fail to see
In the propagation of poverty
That affects you and me
There is all the resources
That mankind ever needs
But we are robbed of its riches
When its driven by greed
They see it as a sanctuary
When we all start to fight
For the crumbs on the table
When the bulk is taken
In the midst of night
Not for a need to be fulfilled
But as a weapon of sorts
To divide and conquer
Tearing us apart
They say kindness
Is within every one
But in confused state of nations
And across every land
The purveyors that hide the truth
Is found in every land
Diverting our attention
So we fail to understand
That there is unity of purpose
When mankind understand
In keeping a central focus
To be kind to everyone.
What prepares your usurpations?
One more juncture of this person.
An individual who is rising
Misery is not too far off.
Shaking?
No odds, elderly friend.
You withdrew quite a while in the past.
Going in reverse on the scar.
Draining from the spine to the front!
I'm wearied of my own self.
And substantially slain from despair.
I was effectively let down.
And concede my responsibility.
As yet, I befall a cruel pundit of myself.
Signally on this spot, I am at long last.
Despite the injuries
I gain the height of a lance!
What were your suspicions?
Face in hassle.
In his authentic demeanor.
Something is devouring inside of me.
Otherwise, I have no chance of diverting it off.

Ignorance doesn’t ask questions,
thinks it’s weak to be confused
reliance on interpretations
doesn’t second guess the clues
arrogance shows what it knows
communicates itself with vigour
as if surrounded by those slow
to demonstrate their brain is bigger
the ignorance that lives in bliss
the arrogance to know what is
the brazen need to be the best
undiagnosed mental complex
to never admit the error you made
diverting attention onto another
critical of how others behave
claiming all they cause is bother
call them a hinderance
but one you will help
and with great significance
for nothing your self
you go from the victim treated unfair
to the selfless hero who puts himself there
talk of your friends who cause you despair
and then be the reason they get anywhere
as if you’re friends with the lowest creatures
such stupidity of the mentally weaker
and suddenly you appear such a great fella
way up high all above those in the cellar
but isn’t it so sad
to look good they look bad
when you are the perk
you better the sag
unaware that this blag
is of an insecure lad!
Everyone enjoys cruising easy street
Hits keep playing around the clock
Everything flawlessly falling into place
Puzzle pieces effortlessly interlock
Humming along until hit a speed bump
Your momentum derailed by a detour
Diverting your good vibes off track
Unsure if you will be able to endure
Then reminded of our ability to bounce back
That has craftfully carried us this far
Have tackled tough times like this before
Know that we'll be able to raise the bar
So now when we find ourselves in a rut
Realize that it is shallower than before
Because the bottom begins to get filled in
Restored with resiliency from our core
I wonder how it will spin?
When they tell of that spring.
Eyes will meet with a nod and a wink
In keeping their lies in sync.
Grandkids will tweet
About the time in the street
When no one came out
Neither whisper nor shout
I wonder how would it spin
If enough of us knew
The political poison
They feed us by spoon.
Six feet apart in
A line to the booth
The people, enslaved,
Memorized the truth.
Some ran saying change the guard..
But now..
I wonder how it will spin
If the facts are ever sewn in?
Of how they avoided a war
By diverting our thought
With a global pandemic
That kept those in power
Feeding scraps from their table
In the shape of a dollar.
Six feet apart in
A line to the booth
The people, enslaved,
Memorized the truth.
Some ran saying change the guard..
But now..
I wonder how it will spin?
When they tell of that spring.
Eyes will meet with a nod and a wink
In keeping their lies in sync.
Grandkids will tweet
About the time in the street
When no one came out
Neither whisper nor shout
Clockwise for sure
For time must march on
And the thoughts of the disillusioned
Are censured, then gone.
