Premium Member I Am Number Four

Mine is a connection twix body and soul
Beliefs based on values, the earth as a whole;
In league with creation of moon and the stars,
To strings am related on tenor guitars.
In marriage enable the vows to confirm
Ensure that relations in love will stay firm.
Extend pragmatism in fields of mystique 
Approach every challenge with focused technique
Directing attention in moments of stress
To angels who show you the way to success.
I came from a planet to keep hopes alive;
Of Garde am a number between three and five.

Premium Member Pragmatic Dreams

In the mind of the Architect, rare visions take hold, 
Where pragmatism anchors the dreams that unfold. 
Analytical spirit, with curiosity deep, 
Seeks to master the systems with promises keep. 

With a strategic mindset, you’re steps ahead still, 
With contingency plans and an ironclad will.
Independent by nature, you value the space 
To work in your rhythm, at your own steady pace. 

Introverted and calm, seeking depth in the few, 
While your intuition finds meanings anew. 
With thinking objective and judging so clear, 
You value the structure and hold logic dear.

Self-assured and assertive, you face every stress, 
With a grit and a confidence few can possess. 
Yet the rational path can be lonely and steep, 
While the secrets of feelings are difficult to keep.

To some you seem aloof, or perhaps just detached, 
Though your loyalty’s deep and your brilliance unmatched.
Relentless for knowledge, your standards are high, 
Hunting perfect efficiency beneath the sky. 

You solve the complex and you see the grand view, 
Implementing the ideas that others find new. 
But the politics chafe and the networking tires, 
While blunt, honest feedback may set social fires.

In your bonds you seek depth and a mind that is bright, 
For a partner to share in the intellectual light. 
Though you struggle with niceties, commitment is true, 
In a world that is shaped by the Architect’s view.

Premium Member Presidential Choices

As with many dreams, I do not understand the dream I had last night.  On the night of December 19, 2007, I dreamed about a candidate for President of the United States.  I dreamed that he was the recipient of a strong spiritual awakening.   In the dream, it was evident that it was not a political ploy, but was sincere and truly genuine. 

I do have a pull toward governors because of their prior experience and administration abilities.  Also, Although it matters, I am not very concerned about the candidates' religion.  It also concerns me about their marital success or the lack thereof.  In addition, I like candidates that are fiscal conservatives with flekibility and pragmatism with regards to social issues. 

This country needs more balance with regards to military interventions.  We seem to swing too far to the left/right  extremes.  We must defend America's way of life and our vital interests around the world.  However, it is time for both parties  and all Americans to reclarify and redefine what our vital interests are.

We can be proud of the fact that we have always sought to discover, invent, and innovate new ideas and new ways of doing things.  I believe that we have led the way in making the world a better place in which to live.  May our fathers' God show us the way out of our present wilderness. 

This dream will force me to take a closer look at the candidates.  We are clearly at a new crossroad in the quest for a God fearing, peaceful,, and properous America.  Perhaps this dream also portrays a longing for a rebirth in the hearts of all Americans.

The high level of prosperity that we have experienced in America has not silenced the cries of the human heart.  Could it be that I have seen a preveiw, not of a particular candidate, but of America's new leader, whomever he might be?   Or could it be that America has come to a place in our history whereby every fiber of our being is crying out for a new awakening?                              

I cannot interprete the meaning of my dream or what it might signal; but I can say with certainty that it is most crucial that we be vigilant in employing our next leader. cj122007 (Edited and condensed for PS, 10012016)

Premium Member Golden Climate Values

JudeoChristian monotheists,
from fundamental conservationists
on back to radical creolizing multiculturists
inspiring nature-spirit co-revolutions,
declare YHWH to be unchanging,
in constant loving relationship with planet Earth
and all EarthTribes

And therefore constant integrity,
synergy,
creativity,
regenerativity,
macaronically iconized as creolizing fertility.

Mystics and prophets,
seers and heretics,
science-fiction and deep ecology writers,
teach a more complex view.
God as constantly unchanging Change,
both restoratively therapeutic
and retributively traumatic Processor,
co-arising regenerative flows of Win-Win nutritional history
with degeneratively evaporating energy.

Mahatma Gandhi
and many others after,
and probably before, him
taught and mentored
Become the Change today
you long for Earth's Change tomorrow.

So,
putting all this theology and ethology together,
if God is constant ClimateChange
and Gandhian mentors are wise
to advocate our becoming Beloved Change today,
right and left within this timeless NOW,
then this would be another way of saying
and doing

We could all cooperate better
as polypathic, yet with merely mortal EgoMemories,
descendents of Elder gods and goddesses
polyculturally co-creating restorations
healing Earth's sacred growing ClimateChange,

CoMessiahs
who are also,
in this limited atmanic 
EarthBound
ecoHeaven-At-Hand sense,
Bodhisattvas restoring
Ego/EcoJustice CoMentorships,
within as without,
as below, so above

Karma-yogis
practicing
humility of EarthLove--yagna multicultural embracing praxis,
compassion of positive faiths, truths, trusts--tapas co-empathic disciplines,
generosity of cooperative hope--dana GoldenRule social pragmatism.

And of these three,
the greatest diastatic culmination
is Love.

Which some may see as Golden Matriotic EarthDay dreams
and ultra-violet 
by dualdark competing nightmare-powers
of constant ClimateChange.

STREETS OF SOLITUDE

"Do I still matter?" I lament, in quiet despair,
As kindred acquaintances vanish, dissolved in thin air.
Solitude clots the cistern, blocks my spirit's flow;
Collateral damage obscures the expansive panorama's glow.

Vision dims, and trembling hands do falter.
Crutches bear the weight of ceaseless alter.
As though a harlequin, encased in collodion's mournful woe,
A vestigial soul, defying ruin's throes.

Primitive dictums supplanted by the pragmatism of the age:
"Who cares?" imbibed in youth's cage.
The sickle and hammer, now relics of savage years,
Venomous words sealed in the vaults of my fears.

Futile is the grasp to decipher Braille's cryptic code—
The ramifications vast, yet still I brave the road.
Reclaiming the immutable verity of my existence,
Hope that today's conundrums will shape tomorrow's persistence.

Premium Member Pick a Title 27

Guided by pragmatism
My feet are firmly grounded
However, my mind oft-time takes flight
What things I see are a pure delight.

My thoughts do fly on occasion
Wandering so far and wide
The Valley of Kings sent out a call
China was next to see the great wall.

I took a gondola ride in Venice
And walked the bridge of sighs
So many places and I never got lost
Being pragmatic there was no cost.

My mind escapes to marvelous places
But my feet are firmly on the ground
Daydreaming in the here and now
The best of both worlds you will allow.

Rejuvenating Proof

Rejuvenating Proof

Counteroffensive cataclysms clamouring for defeat 
Apprehensive magnetism that makes you feel complete 
Comprehensive pragmatism that can sometimes drain and deplete
Recompensive vandalism that leaves you shocked in disbelief 

Magnitudes of profound truths that create wisdom for the wise 
Terpitudes that are uncouth and crawl around in unethical disguise 
Servitudes that hold no proof but are doomed to eventual demise 
Platitudes that contain the youth and distort the facts in front of their eyes 

Laying on my back I look up toward the blistering sun 
Praying for you to take it back as I feel inclined to run 
Saying we’re living in times of lack would be understating the sum 
Weighing up what has been in fact a loss of delight, joy and fun 

Weaponisation of justice that could have gone for more 
Legalisation of an armistice as the world prepares for war 
Devitalisation of the harvest while we cannot feed the poor 
Dehumanisation of the inquest as we ask what all of this is for?

Calcification of an idolisation that was devoid of substance and truth
Calibrations of animations that are manipulating the youth 
Altercations of communications that are needed to prove the proof 
Imitations of aggravations that require a detective and a sleuth 

Rejuvenating the landscape from the environmental degradation 
Captivating the escape route as they apply for abdication 
Hallucinating the magnetic tape that restricts the aggravation 
Ruminating on the holy saint that depicts the consecration

Premium Member The Nebulous Plague

What an unusual pragmatism conundrum.
We drum in our kids a sense of quantum.
Then, a few days later, we express our pain,
When we gaze on persons with the same stain.

We maintain tabs on the culprits responsible,
Similar views of the notion that we never boggle. 
They also discuss the necessity for integrity.
Possibility of enduring unbearable agony.

Amidst all, we will mainly overlook the peculiarity. 
There is a true cure for all our zealotry idiocy,
Our exquisite was driven to beauty, God's grace. 
Over halcyon deeds, people in need, and peace.

We view a frail side within; it's a sort of plague. 
There is no particular heal; thus, care is vague.

Screech, Coo, or Gobble –for contest


The Dove!!
What would we do
in the darkness of icy winter
sit cold and hungry
listen to its inane cooing?

The Eagle!!
The lofty hermit…
soaring above - alone
screeching at the wind
unapproachable aerie dweller.

The Turkey!!
Ah, the delectable turkey
fat thighs of hefty drumsticks
pale white meaty breast
sweet rendezvous at dinner’s plate.

Less handsome – yet
more filling than the dove.
A sensible choice
Eagle vs Turkey
Symbol vs Sustenance
Ideals vs Pragmatism.

Premium Member On a velvet night, under a sky sprinkled with stardust

On a velvet night, under a sky sprinkled with stardust,
realism, like a broken mirror, fails to reflect the whole truth,
it diminishes reality, thins it out, falsifies it, losing its essence,
it does not take into account our fundamental truths and deep obsessions:
love, death, wonder – all lost in the shadows of reason.
Man, presented in a reduced and distant perspective,
like a vague figure in a foggy painting, loses his inner brilliance,
for truth is not found in the strict outlines of reality,
but in our dreams, in our imagination, where magic and mystery find shelter.
In a world of gray and monotony, love fades like a candle in the wind,
but in our dreams, it burns like an eternal flame, illuminating the darkness,
and death, that inevitable end, becomes just a gateway to other realms,
where our souls dance freely, like spirits of light, in the vast unknown.
Wonder, that spark of magic that opens our eyes to miracles,
is lost in the daily routine, in the cold pragmatism of realism,
but in our imagination, it blooms like a crystal tree,
in every thought, in every dream, showing us the way to infinity.
Truth, that diamond hidden in the depths of our being,
reveals itself only in moments of dreaming, when we let reality dissolve,
and we lose ourselves in fantasies, in untold stories, in worlds of magic and beauty,
where every moment is a miracle, and every breath, a symphony of life.
In the endless flow of consciousness, my thoughts float like golden clouds,
seeking hidden meanings, eternal truths, in the vastness of imagination,
and I know that only there, in those distant realms, can I find the human essence,
for only in our dreams, in our imagination, does truth come to life,
and we, like poets of our own existence, can discover
that we are more than mere shadows in the world of reality,
we are dreams of light, lost in the eternal night,
and only in those dreams, can we find our true brilliance.
