Mother Seen Embroidered

* Depicting a young child or baby with sight impairment 
                                       given clear vision 


        
          Lens enhanced perception 
          Sands your face with precision 
          Rallying rows of eyelash perfection 
          Brush my conscience, bless my vision 

          Thrown avalanche realisation 
          My astonishment reflects rapture 
          Silent diction becomes spacious 
          Adoration boomerang captured 

          Freshly arrived from dim duller places 
          I glean impact of quiet transferrence 
          Transfixed by sculpted undulations 
          Facial telling message emergence

          Struck by contrast's dimensions 
          Your eyes emit layers translated
          Squeals of delight bolster senses
          Sight huddles sound collaborated

          Bearing immense advantage 
          Wearing miraculous glasses 
          Definition's parade outlandish 
          Ripples accompany laughter 



       % = % = % = % = % = % = % = % = %

Embodiment of Light

   Coat stand tree commingling clan protects
   Quilted caterpillar sticks linen to spine
   Pine foliage erect points to its apex
   Before its born, spire spreads star shine

   Swooping swivel neck owl huddles, human eyes 
   Scan heaven, hook beak hoots transmit signal
   For seraphim shifting, shades of dove devise
   Butterfly current shaken napkin nimble


   Venture from avenues of arrow quivers
   Dispell dictating army apostrophes 
   Barrel roll ballistic, blank space delivers
   Delight due outside barracks claustrophobic

   
   Antenna tuned owl throatily purrs
   Pleasure for butterfly’s fast learned journey, laughed
   Drift under dry angel feathers, breeze spurs
   Freedom wish from wizard to aloof aircraft

Identity

IDENTITY

I just want to be who I am, or even to know
Living this modern life is like being in armour
True freedom, now merely a fading memory
Following the script like a long running drama
But perhaps something out of this might grow

Personality, misshaped by many laws and rules
So what then, does individuality mean anyway
There’s a chest of treasures locked up inside me
That in this age, may never see the light of day
In our millions we’re numb, and acting as fools

Can it even be safe to release the unknown beast
That prowls and explores this unexpecting world
It might be a cute little mewling thing that blinks
And if threatened, huddles like a flag that’s furled
But it still deserves it’s freedom at the very least

Yet maybe this is mere hesitancy and speculation
The first challenge I must face, is to know myself
To be embraced for what I am, or could become
In life’s mission to discover all that hidden wealth
And to have caused at least a minor perturbation

Premium Member Dixie Cup Memorial

Dixie Cup Memorial
                  by Odin Roark

How small it is
this bottom of the Dixie cup
looking skyward
holding high the torch
the unemployment check
of another kind

Held aloft with no regrets
Half full
Half empty
All the same
Someone had to shoulder the orders

Now in desert camo-dress
his prosthetic hand holds forth
watching fingers pass over
some manicured
with pennies
some scabbed and scarred
with singles
even children's innocent fingers
dropping their nickels and dimes

Many have acknowledged this
His back-home identity
His calling card
His shingle
His name plate

The mind huddles close now
few copper and silver
no blankets of green
no ingots of gold

A note floats downward
swathing reality

Thank you for your service

Would you like a job?

What are your skills?

Can you relocate?

Sure
he says
his eyes lingering
upon his severed legs
each knee projecting its solitary reality
Purple Heart pinned securely to the right

Just let me gather today's windfall
2 pennies
1 nickel
3 quarters
1 subway token

Relocating again

Travel

Enough to get me there

Pocketing the Dixie cup
his hook and knuckles pull forward
surging his mover's dolly
transporting Faith's hidden hope

Ahead
looking back
his benefactor strides onward
his missing arm yet another lost appendage of honor
his smile a projection of comaradery
his Ooh-rah a respect never ignored

Not far he says

Not far

Premium Member Shadow Walker

Remnants have been stained the color of
The blood moon
Hidden beneath the boulder that is Western
Civilization
The glory of sunrise has been buried
With promises of eternal light
Fruits of darkness lay crushed under
Waves of chanting the righteous
Path
Many trails the night traveller takes
Lead to love
Every hand is needed now to sow
Forgotten remnants to every corner
Where fear of darkness huddles
True love bears fruit even under cover
Of shadows
Do not be afraid
Joy will come to you who has no
Fear of receding light
Love will be your
Reward

Transit

living in back street 
sweaty huddles 
sloppy scenic alleys 
dumpster dinning 
all alone 
  
talked of ruling the 
streets ,not the 
streets ruling you 
barefoot no shoe 
cardboard condo 
  
family has not heard 
from you in years 
you without a clue 
tears ran like rivers 
hoping you would be 
delivered 
  
how I found you , by 
chance by glance 
12 stepping someone 
and there you are 
huddled with your 
short dog 
  
I feed you loved you 
gave you hope 
gave you a shower 
socks, shoes 
something to eat 
when my back was 
turned you hit the 
street 
  
I remember the smile 
your smile 
your wit 
your gone 
let you sleep

The Selfish Thoughts of Yours

The selfish thoughts in your mind take up arms…
Moving through the inner chambers of your thoughts.
Your ego, sharp and frosty as winter--
prowls among others, leaving its mark and sneering.

Patience huddles in the corner…
folding her hands and cooing ;
“We each go back to the earth when our hour finally closes.”

The ordinary moments lean close ,
laying their hushes against your ear.

Kindness leans in, pressing a hand to your shoulder,
watching Pride storm past.
Understanding walks at your side ,
its steps measured… its counsel sure.

Breathe in slowly and remind yourself:
“Goodness moves with me into every moment."

Drenching In the Rains

Lands around water sodden
Unsafe to be trodden
Landscape turned to green from brown
Watter logged and cold drawn
Roads brown and grey
Littered with water puddles
Under big trees animals huddles
We all looked forward to this rain
Its now a sort of a pain.....
Blue skies now overcast and grey
No sign of a single sun ray

I let this rain kiss me
Let all see that it caresses me
... how it wets me with silver drops
As within me a peppy feeling crops
Wetness  falls on me from up above
Some hate it  but i find in it lots of love

Feels so content when in this rain
No sorrow or feelings of pain
May catch a cold but i just dont care
A soothing sensation from the grass below to the  clean fresh air
I now arise and walk in this rain
Having captured these precious moments in my brain

My minds eye watches but moments gone
On a puff of cloud moved on...

No sorrow or feelings of pain..
When drenching in this rain

Quote: “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.” -- Robert H. Goddard

Oh, yesterday, the tales we're told, 
In our youth's stories, pure and bold, 
With friends close by, we danced and swayed, 
In the innocence of yesterday.

Sibling interactions, mischief and fun,
A shared journey under the same sun,
Through laughter and fights, love would grow,
A bond that only siblings truly know.

Mother's love, a guiding light so pure,
Her warmth and care, forever endure,
Father's strength, a pillar standing tall,
Their love surrounding us through it all.

School teachers, mentors with hearts of gold,
Their knowledge and guidance, a story untold,
Nurturing minds, igniting a flame,
In the pursuit of knowledge, they proclaim.

Football and cricket, games we'd play,
The rituals we'd follow, every day,
From the team huddles to victory cheers,
United in passion, erasing all fears.

In the glimpses of the past, reflections appear,
A happy life, a nest we built, so dear,
But now it stands empty, lovebird flown away,
I dwell in the past, searching for love gone astray.

In the depths of my heart, I seek solace and peace,
But the pain of lost love refuses to cease,
Night falls upon me, exes in sight,
Trying to lure my love with no hope in sight.

With a heavy heart, I realize the truth,
Dwelling in the past brings more pain to soothe,
So I bid farewell to the memories that bind,
And embrace the present, leaving the past behind.
