All creatures great and small,
from the smallest microbe to the largest animal of all.
Our living planet provides life for a mass variety of species.
Marine life is full of massive numbers of species of great diversity.
Bacteria, crustaceans, fishes, mammals, amphibians and also jellies.
Land dwelling life also has many life specie variations
Bacteria, Insects, reptiles, birds, worms
and among the mammals are us humans,
and the last variety of other life species that are also important to mention
exist beneath our deepest oceans and seas
as well as far as on land one can see.
The millions of different species of vegetation.
We may think ourselves the specie most superior
but no life is worth more or less than any other.
All creatures great and small
have an unalienable right
to their one and only life
however great or small.
The Girl with the Golden Eye
often looks upward to the sky
She likes to watch the moon
She dances to a song of her own choosing.
She peers into dark shadows
She basks in the early morning sun
She dives deep into the depths
Where she knows the deepest currents run.
She lives her life for all the seasons
She loves both the present and the past
She holds on to all life's moments
She treasures every golden breath.
She knows life is but an inhale, an exhale,
A single blinking of an eye
Brief as the flickering of a candle
Fast as the clouds chasing the sky.

it's simply human nature our basic desire to understand
how it all works according to God's Universal plans
many people feel that if they're misunderstood they are unwanted and rejected
as its the knowledge of understanding and being understood
that makes them feel accepted and respected
to get understanding is to gain the knowledge and wisdom of life
to get the understanding that was given by the Lord Jesus Christ
to live life is the only way that the wisdom of life can be found
to experience the good and the bad to experience the ups and the downs
for wisdom is the principle cinder block in the foundation of life's understanding
the wisdom of life is the word of God and all that He's commanding
to obtain it, to attain it or to acquire it, for us to ultimately learn
to never assume for that's the enemy's tool is what we need to discern
to not make an ASS out of U and ME
but to walk in this life with a godly certainty
for what once was might not be what it is now
and what is now might not be what it may one day come to be
and what you once knew and what you now know won't necessarily be
what you may one day come to conceive
knowledge is power so make sure you obtain it with a godly understanding
knowledge leads to wisdom so make sure you attain it in the way that God is planning
to get true understanding it usually comes with a price
be it your time, your treasure, your talents there will be a sacrifice
just don't get distracted, please pay attention, stay focused and be on point
while seeking the knowledge, understanding and wisdom that to you God will appoint
in life there will be some struggle, some pain, some discomfort and some strife
just turn to God He's your Comforter, your Healer and your support in this journey called life
to get true understanding and not mankind's preconceived notions
to get true understanding and not just to survive on human emotions
just don't get caught up in thinking like the Pharisees with their man-made laws
God gave us His word and wisdom which has no apparent flaws
to get understanding abide by the teachings and the word of God
to get understanding is to let His words into your mind and heart
On a train going south on business
For what seemed an eternity,
I chanced upon a memorable man
Who changed the path of my destiny
He was itinerant to look at
With tatty coat and shabby shoes,
An unshaven face, his hair unkempt
And string, as a belt on his ‘trews’
He boarded the train, peoples heads dropped
For fear that his gaze they’d meet
He walked down the aisle, disappointed,
As no-one would give up a seat
I offered the seat beside me
He thanked me for making the space
I replied with a sincere ‘you’re welcome’
And a smile warmed his weathered face
He asked me about my journey
And I asked of his in return
I felt in my heart, that by talking to him
There was much about life I could learn
I bought us both refreshments
As he told of his life’s history,
Once in a while I would interject
With a small anecdote about me
Behind the shabby persona,
Was a man of intelligent mind
He’d lived on the edge in finance,
Made his fortune, left it behind
As his bank account grew he’d lost everything
His family, his friends, his wife
He’d found out, too late, and at great cost
That there was so much more to life
‘You have to stop and smell the roses,
Make some time for those you hold dear’
And as he spoke, down his rugged cheek
I saw the track of a small, salty tear
As we reached the end of our journey
He clasped my hand at our time to part,
He thanked me for my company
And told me I had a good heart
When I got to my lonely hotel room,
I called my daughters on the phone
And told them ‘we’ll be together soon
I’m taking some time off when I get home.’
Sometimes it takes a chance meeting
To give your whole life a shake
I felt I had met my ‘Hermes’
And now had decisions to make
When I got home, I made a decision
The missed years with my girls I’d amend,
My life took a different direction
All down to my indigent friend
You can’t judge a man on appearance
But if you look in their eyes you can,
I knew in the instant I gave up the seat
I had met a remarkable man.
There once was a man who talked to the stone
Calming down all its fears of being alone
They spent all his life synchronized into shape
At one point - both realized there was no escape
"I'll turn you into a "Bird", "A Silent Muse"and a "Kiss"
and so many sculptures..." - the artist promised -
"I'll give you myself "... So he used all his talent
Thus carving immortality - "The Column Without End"
Erected in Romania - reminder of his roots
The cycle of life in rhombuses salutes
The Heavens from which Brancusi looks down
At his "Gate", "Silent Table" and his old, native town.

Lines on his face from the seeds he sowed
A drifter living on the open road
Modern day cowboy with an urge to roam
Never found a place he could call home
No one to answer to, never took a wife
Moving around all of his life
Asked him if he ever contemplated cost
Wandering doesn’t necessarily mean lost
Had a girl once, his teenage queen
An accident took her at seventeen
His only love had passed away
He still dreams of her today
He had his reasons for the life he chose
Heading anywhere a warm wind blows
Just a drifter living on his own
With dreams of her he’s never alone
We all have reasons for the choices we make
We all are responsible for the roads we take
For the drifter this life was the only one
He’ll dream of her until his days are done
