Long Point of reference Poems

When I was a child in Los Angeles, you could size up groups approaching by watching their movements.

I remember this gang of older kids approaching me, watching them carefully while looking down to see if...

The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost has commonly been referred as an object or a thing! Instead He is the third person of the Holy Trinity! He becomes your help mate, counselor and guidance counselor!...

Endless train whistles,
At the limits of one's hearing,
Never farther away,
Seemingly never, ever nearing...

Sirens shrill screech,
At times of their own choosing,
The pulse of mountain winds,
Never gaining, never losing,

Honking winged geese,
A satire of city cabs?,
In cloud bound...

I’ve been adrift on the sea, a lost soul of ideal inspiration
Tossed asunder amongst realities harsh waves of the incomplete,
A disembarked being, caught at the mercy of a thundering riptide
Of indecision, floundering, drowning alone, with...

Don't forget to remove the Bay leaves from the
pot.
Make it easier on yourself
put the bay leaves and rosemary sprig
in a cheese cloth.
I'm in most incline to agree
yet some deemed them useless
almond ash and hickory ash
was...

we are here
why would we negate
so we do accept this reality 
taking our stuporous aliveness
within decaying organic form
as the point of reference
with which we begin
Ramana’s inquiry
who am I

looking back at our life
we notice our values...

If never your situation has resigned you to expiration
Then professing “What he should have done” is quite the meaningless declaration
So if never you’ve felt the frigid breath of death upon your own neck
Your second guess...

We are all here today as we
and why were meant to be

Because we all follow our
intended path 

Otherwise left alone unto our
own devices to forge our own

We would never end up getting
anywhere at all

Lost and...

I'm in love,
but what does it go through, the moment the words become clear?
When old feelings are lost,
and too prideful to return home to find their way.
I know there are lessons to learn in how...

( Repost )

Somehow, her eyes expand with the disobedient sky
and there, she senses urchins filling water on the lake
her feet and thighs slide up changing hues,
with receding incarnations of the moon.

She bends down gazing at...

the white language of snowfall lay
perfectly still where sunshine once warmed
a shaft of light pierces the evening tide of falling snowflakes
a point of reference for the weary footfall of
the man heading home
warm sweet home
his steps...

Step into the date-stamped time DeLorean,
move forward
on backward spinning nostalgia rims
Centrifugal hourglass ... 
short hand and long
Distorted view of time,
kinetic highway romantic destiny
Blurred future sideway images,
past memories rearview exit gone
Engine gunned to the max,
space curvature...

The Light of His Word relieves all of the darkness
In not having heard you don't even see the mess
In so a mind wonders having no point of reference
As when it blunders you haven't the slightest...

How deep into your psyche
do you dare peer?
How far are you willing to go
searching
into the darkest places of your deepest fears?
Are you afraid of being unanchored from your soul?
Go drifting into the abyss ...
where time...

An amazing place where Africans belong
For that is where they were born
Such a loving home she is
A cradle of overflowing blessings
Perfectly designed for destiny
As we rise in the morning
Anoint our feet with your Favour
While we...

Time
  
Time is a measurement point of reference in our lives
It is measured in hours, minutes and seconds
We are in fact a slave to time, in our daily lives
Everything is based on time, meeting...

The ship under full sail
The ocean murmurs an old tale
Nearby cutting through water is a whale
The fresh air enters your lungs as you inhale

The huge albatross spreads its wings
The wind in the sails sings
It tells...

I wonder how to understand
The journey finding the meaning
Of every day mundane living
Perpetual repetitiveness of cycles
That we are stuck in from the 
Moment of our birth 
All the way to the death
I wonder what keeps...

At a glance (glimpse) 

To the average tourist
the wall is (was) the divide
between east and west
Checkpoint Charlie
the obvious choice
point of reference
almost irreverent
in its poignancy

To see the cultural divisions
needs close obs, more diligence
The guest workers from...

Point of reference never came.
     I waited eons just to see
     The clever end of destiny.

To me it always looks the same...
     Though...

I feel the turn of fickle stars in my palms,
wrenching their way out,
challenging the ambition of a sinner's grasp.
 
It all falls loose;
sand at the feet of eternal eyes,
staring back into the shadows of memory.

The loss of the known

A sudden flash occurred, a moment of a forgotten past
walking down a wide road that only had a few cars trundling along 
to the left where the road wears to the...

They call it shuffling of the mind
when other eyes are turned;
Other visions call upon the history 
that is their very own, allowing us
to see, to share, to grow.

Onrushing Earth
will ride the tides of time 
disclosing...

I see, blurred, the farthest point at which you stand,
a speck on the horizon, growing ever far;
the farthest point of reference whereby sky merges land,
the microscopic frost beneath the Polar Star.
And, palpably, my heart it...

Thoughts emerge
Emotions illicit fear and pain
Critical egoic attachments
Creates distortions and self-disdain

In seeing who you’re not
A metamorphosis occurs
The truth has always been there
A little voice was never heard

Awareness of the “now”
Enlightenment to past thoughts
We see the...
