Something magical in time.
Something beautiful in our lives.
Something Jesus Christ gazed on with wide eyes.
Something Columbus watched every night.
Something on which Scott would mark with his life.
Something Elvis saw when he’d see the Memphis skyline.
Something that Armstrong invested in with years of his life.
Something that caught Davinci’s inquisitive mind.
Something that Peake knows fires the imagination of the most brilliant of minds.
Something that controls the oceans most ferocious tides.
Something that you can see on this night.
Hillary saw it clearer than ever you will or I.
Mayne used its light to guide his missions to fight for the freedom of our lives.
Moses knew of its power to the dark mind.
Pink Floyd explored the meaning of its dark side.
Spielberg framed E.T. fly in its magical light.
A moon that has held the minds of so many legends in time.
Something there for you every day of your life.
Something magical in your time.
“God Wrote This Love Story”
A Dedication to Ashley & Julius
From keystrokes exchanged on a winter’s day,
To promises whispered, hearts swept away.
December's spark lit love's gentle flame,
Now two souls prepare to share one name.
January brought more than a start,
With Target as the stage, and hope in each heart.
From aisles to forever, their bond began,
Ordained by God's sweet, sovereign plan.
A lunch invite masked what fate had planned,
With family, friends, and love at hand.
Julius knelt where their story took flight,
Ashley said yes—and hearts soared in light.
A therapist's warmth, a healer of the soul,
An artist who sees the world as a whole
Together, they mirror grace and care,
A love that listens, a bond so rare.
A son, just one, yet everything
A symbol of love and what time will bring.
A tiny bridge from hearts to home,
Proof that no one walks alone.
Through laughter and tears, through give and take,
They built a life no storm could shake.
For truth and trust are firmly sewn,
In every trial, their roots have grown.
Their love is not just passing delight,
But a beacon that glows in the darkest night.
For when God is the center, as they both believe,
Even the winds ask love for leave.
Hand in hand, they now will go,
Through seasons, only the married know.
With patience, humor, and open ears,
They'll speak the truth and calm the fears.
So gather the roses, the vows, the rings,
But know that love’s in the quiet things
In whispered prayers, in shared sunrise,
In finding home in each other’s eyes.
Ashley and Julius, may heaven above.
Crown your journey with endless love.
For what God blesses, no man may sever.
Bound by faith, forever and ever.

Inspiration: A toast to love
Martial law inapropos to stave, staunch,
and stem police brutality,
nevertheless commander in chief
will violently barrel ahead
particularly when blatant iniquities
flagrantly heaped upon
innocent dark skinned human bodies,
who far to often get accosted, beaten, choked
without justice, but
judged guilty merely existing.
Protestations within metropolitan urban areas
all across the United States
sparking riots else within world
began in Minneapolis on May 26, 2020
following the death of George Floyd
coroners determine cause of death asphyxia
after Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) officer
Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck
for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
Akin to striking a match
into highly flammable liquid
diverse people expressed legitimate rage
against machinations targeting humans,
whose obvious epidermal pigment
unwittingly sacrifices said
dark skinned people burnt offerings.
Sacrificial lambs only become martyrs,
yet sadly never realize their true value, nor
relish (hot diggity dog) purposefulness
cuz her/his mortality nipped in (figurative) bud
when precious life cruelly stolen.
As iterated courtesy similar
crafted by yours truly
persons falsely hash tagged recalcitrant
(predominantly boys and/or men)
exhibiting physiognomy proclaiming
African American, Australia,
Haiti, Melanesia, Papua
New Guinea and South Asia...
as motherland, more so
black immigrants comprise
growing proportion of said
racial (constituency) population.
Usually no culpability
linkedin with rudely mistreated individual,
whose inalienable (inherent) rights:
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
hijacked solely predicated upon bigotry.
Bajillion years after proto humans experienced woe
countless figurative early Brady bunched bro doggie
dimples encountered necessity to escape cohabitation
(marital covenant alien), yet quasi marital brouhaha
ofttimes witnessed altercation begetting re: thorough
out baby with bath water phenomena, which literal
cruel fate heavily peppered past (mine) accounting
lamely explaining Pink Floyd momentary status quo
upended accompanied courtesy lapse of reason no
definitive evidence to substantiate claim, yet I know
without shadowed doubt every friggin forebear (hoe
pining to savor manumission, versus cotton pickin)
back breaking stoop labor think indentured escrow
harking back to days of our lives (mainly bonobo
nasty, short and brutus creatures millenniums ago
unsung simian kindred beings suffering figurative
ruffled horse feathers nsync with bird in hand dodo
which latter species long extinct (as Dutch good eats)
now non sequitur (sea quitter) mine homeboys/girls
comprising Harris eventual clan (of craven lionized
"scapegoats" set genealogical precedent, and grew
some real winners gentiles, who commingled and
intermarried, and united proudly to kvetch as Jew)
eventually acquiring redeeming qualities conveniently
best caricatured as features exhibited by Mister MaGoo
invariably dear reader "fake" anecdote ye will poo poo
as well how storied and fabled coronavirus (COVID-19)
medical technicians reference quaint pandemic setting
figurative global stage brethren and sistern microbes
made webbed, wide world wish for said good ole days
cuz, communique done being crafted about six hours
marine hated, armies of beastie boys slain 2120 yahoo
the darndest, latest microscopic bugaboo nearly slew
entire population, hence envision terra firma with
divine providence absolute zero people as edenic
provenance (metaphorically offering tabula rasa view.
More death and destruction, we now see first-hand.
Minneapolis is on fire because of one damn man.
When you treat people like animals, that’s how they will act.
Respect needs to be given and this my friends is a fact.
What can we do? When will peace be restored?
Civilization has been rattled because of one man scorned.
The state police take up position along with the national guard.
Man has made his decision and will forever be scarred.
We have gone back in time instead of moving forward.
Black and White again clash in a chaotic disorder.
Downtown is on fire and violence takes hold.
We all need God’s help as this evil unfolds.
I have been told I am racist because I see humans and not skin.
If this is so wrong, then where do I begin?
All life needs respect, this starts right here with me.
I control how I act, maybe this is the key.
*Dedicated to George Floyd*
President Joseph Biden signing Juneteenth Bill

I
want to
wish you a
Happy Birthday
In less than two years
you ended the war in Afghanistan.
Substantial military aid for Ukraine,
Stimulus Package American Rescue Act,
Funding the Police—The Investment to Protect
and Reform Act-budget plan increases cementing
his party’s turn away from the anti-police rhetoric and policies
lawmakers and activists embraced after the murder of George Floyd
two years ago. Biden’s first two years, among the most productive
of any president in the past half
century.
Thank
you!

Have you ever stopped and watched how kids laugh on a carousel?
Or for few minutes you listen to the pounds and thumps of rain?
Have you ever followed a butterfly fluttering by?
Or stare at the sun painting red and orange bright?
Daily you put the alarm-- so conscious of time.
You want everything to be done on second hand;
you run as if each day on the fly.
When someone asked you: "How are you?"
Did you ever care to reply, asking back the same?
Your wife and kids ask you for a time
yet, most of the time all you said is wait for awhile.
The night skirts it's dark starry skies,
instead of going home, you chose to work for more.
When you are done and it's time to sleep,
still... there are hundred chores running round your head.
One Sunday morning, your child wanted a talk--
but your phone rang, you wave a hand and say tomorrow.
You are so haste to leave,
you didn't see his brow break to sorrow...
You lost the touch
even a good friendship die right before your eyes
'Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"!
When will you realize quality time is a must?
Don't you know
when you dance fast on life's music
you are missing much?
Time is short and so is life
All music comes to an end, it doesn't last
When you see life like a race
you will miss half of the fun in each phase.
Worrying and hurrying through the day
is like disclosing some gifts along each way.
Life is never a race, do take it slower...

Racist yeah, yeah our good White brothers and sisters and White Christians hate this

Watch out it’s…Most of the white Latino officers
Say fatal encounters tween blacks and police are isolated incidents
Majority of black officers disagree, this base on facts No philosophy
Demonstrations over the deaths of blacks, Encounters with law enforcement
Were motivated to great extends by anti-police bias, what
Now instilled America since freedom years
They still denounce and hide this, a black man who dies by a gun
Is most portrayed as righteous dangerous boy walking away on the run

Questions people who seemed suspicious WHAT!!!

Suffocation experienced analogous
to absent echocardiogram
or electroencephalogram blip
(Derek Chauvin - he of
George Floyd infamy) iron maiden grip
linkedin with psyche subjected
to laceration courtesy cruel horse whip
mine inexcusable
(albeit clueless faux pas)
family members living social in Bend, Oregon
and Oakland, California did yip
private information across cyberspace did zip.
Apology (ex post facto)
extended regarding about
mine guilt ridden conscience
programming mental state
think sufferable infinite
jesting Möbius strip
casting dark shadow of doubt
looping along outer limits
of twilight zone
futilely shucking off
emotional tailspin (kamikaze) fallout
impossible mission
unable to muzzle or thwart lout
who poetically blurts out
simian old routine programmed
erroneously heavily incorrectly
peppers entire Hollerith
or IBM punched cards
yielding botched defenseless redoubt,
when Yankee doodles dandy
teapot short and stout
convection currents trigger
whistle Dixie when liquid piping hot
a microcosm concerning plate tectonics
across webbed wide world
yielding necessary oomph
to migrating trout.
Absent awareness
flourished amidst ignorance
sixty plus shades of gray matter
hotly doth smolder and burn
unbeknownst rancor did furiously churn
when yours truly divulged
he made aborted attempt
to couch his genuine
paternal care and concern
lack of discrimination
and judgment I did not
(honest to dog) recognize nor discern.
Understandable blameworthy
grievance against me,
not granted app parent permission
thus culpability I obediently yield
words that sparked hurt
now utilized to wield
heft to communicate authentic love
(cryptically coded)
and hermetically sealed
hopefully in due time
mine discretion well healed.
