????Woe! UNTO HIM
 WHO LOOKS FORWORD
 
Whoa unto him who judges 
Who are you to judge 

Woe unto him who looks forward

Whoa unto him that watches 
With everything, everyone does 
Look Within my, brother!

In the twilight of a restless world, where minds are chained to glowing screens,
The machine-like hum of existence drowns the whispers of the soul,
People move like automatons, their essence eroded by the electronic tide,
A slow...

Magical, mysterious, completely incomprehensible!  
Is there anything more divine than a seed,
Any seed, large or small, any size at all?

Is written all the instructions for the development
Of every...

In the depths of the night, where thoughts float like autumn leaves,
I realize that my most intimate thoughts and emotions do not truly belong to me.
We think in languages and images we did not invent,
Received...

You made a choice,
You broke the mold,
You raised your hand
Now you’re living bold
	Oh, yes!  You did.
	Oh, yes! I did.

You turned your back
On pain and lack.
You said “No, thanks,
I’m not going back!”
	Oh, yes! You did.
	Oh,...

out pour of emotion of a blocked shot,
sending the ball of the court, 
leaving us feeling battered and bruised.

If food for finer thoughts we did not crave,
If sense of purpose we did not apply,
If we did not critique how we behave, 
If dormant laid Alert Judgmental Eye…

I am both the oak and the eagle,
Grounded and soaring, simultaneously existing
In two states of being.
My roots run deep into ancestral soil,
Drinking wisdom from those who came before
Their struggles water my growth,
Their triumphs are the...

When midnight tolls, the old doth fall,  
And whispers soft, the past doth call.  
A year has passed, with joy and grief,  
A mix of dreams, a brief belief.

Talent less


I wanted creativity to be my companion,
So I picked up a pencil to draw.
I found this harder than I could imagine,
The strokes of my talent were flawed.

So my family were dysfunctional. 
But they forced me to wake up.

AMBIVALENT
The swallowing of a morsel can't be justified
If the stomach still hurts.
Scorpion– the shining demon,
who doesn't stop until it’s quashed
applauds as it was filled with goosebumps.

A dog with two tails–yet barks,
and they say the future...
