To lighten the load, I suggest
stop adding to the stack.
Next, are there things you could sell,
return … perhaps send back?
Perhaps your load is more challenging,
than just, a lot of things.
Perhaps load is a lack of funds,
and all the stress … that brings.
Perhaps your load is more serious,
involves illness or death.
Or involves life’s uncertainties
that takes away … your breath.
Perhaps this, or perhaps that, but
one thing I know for sure!
Know the name of “someone special,”
who’ll help you … to endure.
His name, a name Christ always knew,
a name that he made known.*
Psalm 83:18 verse where,
Jehovah’s name … is shown.
*The “hearer of prayer,” Jehovah,
is God’s personal name.
Not responsible for your loads,
so please … God never blame.
To lighten loads, may I suggest,
Jehovah, get to know.
Christ in tears, called on Jehovah,*
same trust … I pray we’ll show.
We human beings have rights to adhere to!
And each right is accompanied by a responsibility
Rights are
Fundamental legal, social,
Or ethical principles of freedom and entitlement
Acting as rules that define what is allowed of or owed to people
They are inalienable, universal, and inherent to all human beings
Protecting dignity, equality,
And safety regardless of nationality, status, or belief
Rights are an important concept in law and ethics,
Especially theories of justice and deontology.
There different types of rights
Which include Natural and Legal rights,
Claim and Liberty rights
Negative and positive rights
According to Wikipedia
The history of social conflicts,
Has often involved attempts to define and redefine rights
Responsibilities are
The opportunity or ability to act independently,
And take decisions without any hesitation
According to Google
Responsibility refers to the state of being accountable
For one’s actions or obligations
It involves being answerable to someone,
Often referred to as an addressee
For the consequences of those actions
This concept encompasses various attributes
Such as reliability, trustworthiness, and accountability
Let us become matured
Together with taking responsibilities
For every right
Happy Human Rights Day!
Resolutions for the new year serves up zero interest to many
Endurance and resolve are twins required for real success
Settlers and softies should never undertake major resolutions
Off to the races in January and way off the paces by April or May
Like it or not, resolutions are not for the weak and faint of heart
Underachievers may not be finishers, but they too should be proud
The starters, even if failing to finish, are better off for having tried
Imagine where any of us would be if we never attempted to achieve
Observers and spectators stand on the sidelines, but not participators
Navigating life successfully involves winning and losing, giving and taking
Some inventors and explorers accidentally discover what they were not looking for

"I have immortal longings in me. "
Quote _William Shakespeare
I have often wished to be immortal,
and to exist in a life enduring;
to find that perpetual realm and portal,
and to be constantly world touring.
Oh yes I would be a girl deathless,
my life going on and on ever long-lasting;
penning words and rhyming endless,
things I would see leaving me breathless.
my seconds, minutes, hours everlasting,
but would I exist in a world friendless !
My beauty would be never-ending,
from century to century living a life timeless;
but my past sorrow would also be unending,
often penning words dark and rhyme-less.
Filling pages, and pages, and pages in a journal,
I could never stay too long in any place;
from country to country to country gliding,
I imagine a life lived nocturnal.
At times feeling the need to hide my face,
who wants an existence that involves hiding !
So considering all I will remain me,
accepting that years will make me frail;
I now think that living life full is the key,
accepting that my beauty will in time pale.
But, I have the power to make words eternal,
for I am blessed with the God given gift of words;
and the gift of painting and photography sublime,
so wishes for immortality I will keep internal.
My words and poems will fly like birds,
and will forever and ever future souls entwine !
"What would be the use of immortality to a
person who cannot use well half an hour."
Quote _ Ralph Waldo Emerson

*** Sketching the Ballerina ***
It is well, quite well after midnight.
My pup lies fagged on the blanket
as close to me as possible.
The young ballerina sits slightly slumped
On a bench across from the barre, still wearing
Her stage costume with its long net skirt.
I am vexed that the sleeping hour has come.
I grieve to leave her.
She was looking with her black eyes
Directly into my own, asking (as I’m asking myself),
“How can I leave her with a twisted foot?”
The enviable line of the ballerina’s foot, which
“En pointe”
Completes the geometry of the ballet:
Toes coursing the lines of the legs,
On diagonals or paralleling the arms
On through to a pointing fingertip,
With the addition of a superbly angled head.
I grieve having to leave my sketch, to keep
The pretty ballerina in a long-waiting lurch
With her foot twisted, against all her dancer’s instincts;
Against completion of her body line;
Against all her trained and now natural inclinations
Directed to set her preparation
For beginning any elegance in motion;
Add life to the already vibrant music;
Wear her training posture unto every finale’s curtsy
And well deserve the appluse that comes
Along with the roses tossed up
Around her perfect feet…
I simply must put the pencil down,
Wondering how soon before her
Tears might fall while she waits for her foot to be drawn
Correctly arched. The sketch’s error involves
Perhaps a sixteenth of an inch here and there
With the slightest touch of erasing…It’s
The additional light of day,
Which altogether should make a portrait worthy
Of showing to St. Peter as he stands by The Gate.
As she displays her weariness to me,
I must beg her pardon, for it’s now nearly
Three hours past midnight
And my pillow begs for the lay of my head.
My dismal skills must rest
And wait for my sketchpad
To be spread over with beams from
The window’s morning sun.

Thanks be to God…
Spring is coming and so are many bugs,
pollen allergies will be on the rise;
your sneezing and watery eyes means drugs,
there will be days of raining in the skies.
Some days hot and some cool- oh, what to wear?
Driving involves avoiding the pot holes;
time to maintain and work your garden square,
everywhere there are crowds of eager souls.
Winter looks beautiful and magical,
walks in the snow so fresh and uplifting;
the snowflakes and icicles fanciful,
there is inspiration in snow drifting.
Love playing in snow and hot chocolate,
spring is ... pause it, enjoy it, and pause it!

Third Place
It's always good to look back and check
especially on 12 months past from today
as a Christian see what God's been doing
if nothing at all then maybe I'm clay
But thankfully that is not the case
God has been at work showing His hand
guiding and leading by His blessed word
bringing hope and grace so I can stand
Taking us along to a new church
where we're taught well so biblical
receiving encouragement and inspiration
being fed on God's bread so practical
As I still receive six monthly tests
for prostate cancer treatment has past
results have kept low which praise God
His hand has blessed me to the last
Having this year found stammer worse
needed new therapy to get back on track
receive new confidence to visit coffee shops
now feel so grateful to God my control is back
(A look over the past year to be grateful to God for His hand continually be upon my life, most of the piece is spoken in the singular as it effected me but in stanza 3 it involves my wife Christine and I when we moved church.)
With varying degrees of intensity,
my internal war rages on.
Freedom of choice vs. obligation to others,
a conflict that’s been fought since time’s dawn.
The battle requires a decision to be made
that personal responsibility must mediate.
Choosing a position to take is juxtaposed
to choosing a position to abdicate.
The skirmish renews each morning,
since the tempest percolates whilst I sleep.
There’s no option that involves fleeing
because the repercussion would echo too deep.
I long for a palatable solution,
which could usher in welcomed peace.
But my internal war will continue raging on,
'til I find an existential release.
Here we get to a new visualisation
Chakras not six but twelve as of this computation
Root, sacral, navel, spleen, heart & throat
Plus upper palate, third eye, Guru & three at the crown afloat
This is an esoteric technique directly taught
So that errors into the practice are not brought
Involving mantra with inner light and focus in continuity
An energy path mystical not to be confused with Kundalini
The practice involves cessation of breath without breathlessness
Blurring boundaries between form & formlessness
Penetrating the dark void to get to Absolute Oneness
The Tantras have many such agamas
Direct initiations - to lower mind enigmas
Take this, if we will, as Krama + Spanda

ABIHAIL'S SONG (MY MAN)
I stand under on terrain
Facing East,
my heartbeats
She cries out my man (I am)
It's my soul and mind listens for The Voice of the Winds
She cries out my man
So does she says I am
Unequivocally my heart beats passion for as I stand east
I receive the spirit flows
From my heart to hers
Through Father God I release Through my prayers in my mind
And my thoughts I release the love and God has given us
She cries out I am
I am hers my man
I release it to him first and he shall reciprocate
It I am her man
May the world understand
All the beauty of God
Soul so He cherishes
I'm in picture of a sweetened heart reciprocal she is the light that's Sparks I am her man she says I am She says always I am hers
Cries out of her mouth she says
my man
She so says in the past present beginnings and ends
