No Milord, it can wait— this software,
Let’s talk of what wears hard— the hardware. 
Let justice come in time, 
Ye better prove it’s prime, 
On firm ground, not like gauze gossamer! 
From sentiments august 
To first things that come first, 
So that time-wasters of cobwebs clear, 
Let justice come in time, 
And with reasons that rhyme, 
What use late, late justice although fair?

Poet’s note: The Chief Justice of India feels: judiciary is committed to take justice to every home through technology: live streaming of judicial proceedings, translation of orders into local languages, e-courts, and the like. This is fine, but if there is one problem to be addressed to before anything else it is clearance of hundreds of thousands of pending cases. A commonsense 80:20 principle that 20% of efforts fetch 80% of result. This is third in the series: Your slip is showing, Milord.

An extraterrestrial hiding -
Elliott and E.T. won’t stay sober.
Reeses Pieces and alien colliding.
After all, it’s late October.

The shelter of woods - not his home.
Where Elliot’s family resides, not even close.
His long finger points up, “Home! Home!”
Bicycle on firm ground - arose.

The painted trail, scenic beauty, 
it’s cold out there - far, far away
from his planet. It is a friend’s duty
to let him go…he cannot stay.

Separation of friendship souls.
Spoiler - both Elliott and E.T. Live.
There never was a reason for consoles.
Escape hatched - actions corroborative.

Am I a Collaboration

Am I a collaboration,
Or should I refer it to my imagination,
For further consideration.

I know my parents' part in the collaboration,
My Aunties and Uncles are suspects worthy of consideration,
And my teachers I am sure wrote the odd notation.

I lived in a small town, 
So, I would look there for further collaboration,
And sports coaches for some implementation,
Plus those I stayed with on Vacation.

Now on firm ground about being a collaboration,
I do wonder about those brought up in isolation,
Across the nation.

Has citification made them less of a collaboration,
And if this is more than a notion,
Will it lead to a noticeable deterioration.

Premium Member God's Comfort and Peace In Times of Heartbreak

Life brings many a trial and tribulation
each day one never knows what's next
but God knows all about our plight
giving us His word in scripture text

Words of comfort to soothe one's soul
holding on close to the Lord of grace
who reminds us many times and again
'I am for you' to continue on your case

Never lose sight of God's perfect love
for all of His children the apple of His eye
His ways may be difficult but always best
He knows our every feeling whatever our cry

God is a God of quietness and peace
a peace that perfectly makes us rest
armed with HIs presence so divine
the Lord's way for you is always best

So no matter what wait on the Lord
be patient and rest in His hands
trust and obey in your sovereign Lord
together on firm ground forever stands

Premium Member Practicing the pause

resting endowed functionality
as bestowed by the universe
a stirring yet arises in the heart
to emote a melodious verse

humming pulse of innate aliveness 
cajoles us to dance on life’s stage
we pause awhile in the bardo
where fires of lust and desire rage

pristine presence looks at the ego
amazed at how big it has grown
it’s misaligned with the call of soul
so the times’ now to park the drone

free from the fetters of lower mind
soul’s auric field begins to increase
renewing its vibrance within itself
ushering a glow of ineffable peace 

the Ferris wheel of mind yet rotates
owing to past momentum in motion
standing on firm ground we look on
nonchalant to the ongoing commotion 

at the pause of polarity interchange 
the hum of bliss is heard in the void
slowing down therein without cause
we reclaim the light of Self unalloyed

Premium Member The Void Holds All

The void holds all within its fold, unbound
One with all, as love gong within resounds
Being cause and effect, of the bliss squall
Coiled spring thus, harkening the divine call
A mist of bliss, yet with feet on firm ground

Still fulcrum of the merry-go-around
Within our heart, we hear the soundless sound
 Transcendental bliss that each node enthralls
The void holds all

Cave of our heart, is where this joy is found
Rapture beyond measure, within abounds
When our playful presence, with love plays ball
The nectar divine, becomes our cure-all
Illumined within form, we are thus crowned
The void holds all
