After
By Michelle Morris
25/10/2022
They spend so much time
Focusing on the task
Training for the acts
But no time is ever spent
On preparing us for the
After
After the graduation
After the medals are won
After the wars
After enlisted life
After the mission
After the confirmation
After the wins
After the losses
After the births
After the deaths
After the goodbyes
After the hellos
After the marriage
After the divorce
After the dream is achieved
After the dream has been shattered
After the "they lived happily ever after"
So many "after" moments
But somehow we are ill prepared for
Life and
Death and
Everything in between
Do you know what to do after?
After all
It is your life
And you only get
One shot at it
Aim true
Aim high
Aim big
Aim pure

(“Original Mind”, 2017, original encaustic mixed media)
In a dream I wander,
Doing some assigned task
Dutifully
Somehow I’m face to face
With a Buddha
Who tells me my past life name
Of Pema So and So
Which inexplicably fills me with joy
Then I’m with a small group of fellows
Preparing to receive empowerment
With three full prostrations
And my old lama
As clear as day,
Confronts me face to face
Asking what I am doing there
To which I simply say
I ended up here
After doing my chores
Removing ice and snow
And in that moment filled
To overflowing
With recognition of my true identity
I beam
As he simply shrugs and nods
And I awake.
(5/5/26)
Daddy told us not too,
while Mom sourly warned.
Though they scolded,
loud and clear,
we devilishly disobeyed.
Up on that roof top,
at least 30 feet from ground,
carelessly balancing on the shingles,
one step,
two
we were so young,
so adventurous,
the nights lasted decades,
while the stars evaporated fear,
they smiled at our virgin eyes,
and when a gust of wind would catch our balance,
we'd lay under the ratty quilt grandma made.
The night sky was so full of life,
a serenity in a chaos of lights,
forever rotating
yet a fulfilling stillness,
the kind that cannot be broken
Until the day we got caught.
Daddy yelled while we ran threw the window,
preparing for the worst,
hearing Mom's fear in curses,
we both sat quietly,
reminiscing on that freedom,
that longing for serenity.
After taking in the fear-
we went up to our rooms,
and after one tapping on the wall between us,
we both met at the window once more.
out of nowhere
i see you
tears in your eyes
you decide to come and knock
i let you in
i give you a hug and just keep it there because
no words spoken
no drinks poured
we just sit and you let go and be free
the peace and the quiet is your benevolent bubblebath right now
pink bottle images consume you with gentle understanding
i cut all the lights off to make the vibe float till weightlessness
i then slowly wipe the remaining tears from each side of your face,
preparing you for the next round
your favorite pillow is where you left it last
your favorite throw blanket is where you always caught it first
i begin to sing the words to your favorite song
your favorite scent fills the air of your favorite feeling
i am blessed to have become your favorite friend
rest easy hon.....the feeling is mutual......
Fair dawn awaits
Once more fair dawn awaits the radiant sun
Clothed in her mantle daubed with streaks of light.
And faithful to the course which life must run;
Receives the baton from retreating night.
Remote yet not alone, for down below
Creation is preparing to rejoice;
Faint silhouettes of trees begin to show,
And birdsong swells to greet her in full voice.
The precious golden orb will soon arise
And dawn prepares to slowly slip away
A blush of pink expands across the skies
The sun cuts through at last: a brand new day.
This gift of new beginnings should impart
A sense of awe in every human heart.
On this day, hummingbird's and cardinal's are signing aloud, flying all around me setting sail with a fall breeze filling my lungs full of fresh air. The cat's and dog's are all out relaxing and running all around the city with the children playing in the backyards with dad grilling, mom's in the kitchen preparing dessert and many great dishes for the wonderful day ahead with thoughts and feelings each step through. Now setting table with family and friends, enjoying and dining singing songs of praise like the bird's and bee's, flowers and tree's calling it in all prepared for the next day too come family reunion.
They knew by instinct what I have known for more than 50 years.
They were being informed by their maker that someone very special
resided due North of The Gulf of Mexico, not far from their Winter nest.
As the day of her birthday approached, a signal went out to the
Southern hibernating birds, preparing them for Northern flight.
They knew that the 13th of March was a bit early for Spring,
a little risky for their Northern flight. Nevertheless, the signal
was very clear about their mission to sing for a special lady.
The closer they came to her birth place, the louder they sang.
The sparrow and humming bird, blue jays and red birds too were
all drawn to her. Even hawks and birds of prey; they all sang
on her birthday. As an aged eagle flew high in the sky, she looked
down in wonderment. With her great vision in the distance,
she came to realize the meaning of the blessed affair.
I tell you, to the special lady below, that high flying eagle threw a kiss
as she flew bye with a smile. As I beheld such beauty of vision and sound
in the sky, I was overwhelmed and began to cry. Deep within the heart of me, I have known the beauty of the lady who made me believe I could fly.*

January is season of cold,
month of preparing to get bold.
February is quite interesting,
we realize something is waiting.
March brings some sort of fear,
result dependent happiness or tear.
April,everyone enjoy ice cream,
step towards their beautiful dream.
May is for complete holidays,
everyone enjoy in different ways.
June is like green tree,
give feeling that we are free.
July comes with precious rain,
take with them our pain.
August has its original charm,
emotions of independence with a alarm.
September is for making wish,
each our problem to get vanish.
October is for celebration,
time to forget every tension.
November is such a pleasant time,
children get ready to shine.
December comes to say good bye,
remind us soon you meet new guy.
~A Graduation Day Poem~
(Acrostic)
Happy Graduation Day to you!
At last you’ve completed this journey.
Preparing for a long time you've
Pursued what you've dreamed for and now
You are going on your way up
Greater things are waiting for you and
Really you are on your way now
And there’s a more in the future for you to do and your
Dad and your mom must be very proud of you
Use your talents well and be the best you can be, remember
All that you have done to get where you're now
This is not the end but it's just the beginning for you so
Inspire others you meet on your way out to do the same and
Open the door of your heart and
Never quit dreaming but hold on tight to your hopes 'cause
Day after day there are more things to do and learn from
And remember to be honest and true to you because...
You can make all your dreams come true one day too
Happy Graduation Day to you!
:)

-'Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.'
- Mark Twain -
Depressed when Eternal Father saw a lot of sins
From people He created
Wanted to destroy the world
Jesus Christ stopped Him
Before Jesus Christ came
He and Eternal Father were talking
Eternal Father’s decision was to end the world
Jesus Christ made a deal
He believed people would understand and love each other
In the Church He will create
To understand the Greatest Commandments
Is to be Universal in His Church
Eternal Father searched a woman
To conceive and bear a Son
Angiel Gabriel spoke to Mary
You have found favor from God
Holy Spirit will shine over you
You are to name Him Jesus Christ
He will save people from their sins
To save destruction of the world
Eternal Father preparing prophets for the coming Messiah
In a cave Prophet Muhammad meditating
Angel Gabriel told Prophet Muhammad to read
To prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ took people’s meanness
His death is the beginning to take power over people
His body passed away
His soul went to meeting in heaven
Meeting with Eternal Father ended
Three Days and He woke up
Created Catholic Christian
Follow Jesus Christ to be saved
Why are there other churches?
Christ’s like religions
In there you are not saved
Don’t be fooled
Jesus Christ believes you will realize
He’s waiting for you
You want to be in a true Church
To truly serve Him
It is not about the priests or ministers
You are there to hear the Gospel and homily
To take His authorized body and blood
To be in heaven and have eternal life
