Long Reveres Poems

Does it mean we are friends if I mirror your thoughts,
That we like the same jokes or our politics sing
A conventional melody?

Does the ground shake (we stand on) when boundaries slip,
When emotional dams burst, magnetic...

I held my arms out to her.    
Waiting for her to hug me.    
I miss you today. I whisper.    
Such a moment of jubilee.  ...

Fragments of voices
like phrases of song
are accepted inside
as not too horribly wrong.

But whole operas,
learned dissertations,
and uncertain scientific recreations
are not accepted outside
without establishment's substantial reservations.

Indigenous wisdom hears 
and reveres interdependent wholeness
while modern patriarchal strength
is willing to...

Exultant, my heart reveres God with gratitude
Omniscient Creator of prudence-altitude
Sustaining life’s breath, mightily miraculous
Upholding mankind by His virtues' fortitude 

Awed, my spirit exalts the Lord, worthy of praise
Mightily anchoring holiness by truth’s brace
His outstretched arm...

Navigating through my life journey was not easy.
It was quite a ride going through dead-ends, detours,
slippery roads, winding roads, road hazards in forms
of emotional struggles, discrimination, losses of many
kinds, like divorces and finances, working two...

Defying gravity, I stand paralyzed on this wall day in and day out. Although my 
friends and I spend time together in the forest, I feel ensnared like a mouse in a 
trap. What makes...

Shrubbery leaves and foliage, all these very gloriously and graciously green,
In my verdant jade roof top garden, reflect greenness on my laptop screen.

Verbose prolixed, scattered, strewn fill up spaces all around in my jade garden,
Soak...

Within its purest form impotent are the Earthly eyes
Amidst attempts to behold the wonder of its core
Reverse osmosis, listen, hear the light converse
It reveals all its truths to one's heart, first
In faithfulness then, twined paradox...

All true power that manifests, and creates comes from The Almighty Lord God.
We did not create Love, Love created us and supplied us with this bountiful earth on which we trod.
We are a living, breathing,...

Recoil child
from the light
that burns all rivers dry
though some might seek
to persuade you
to endure its heat
I say
retreat beneath the rock
where thin roots cling
to the living dust
and creatures lie still
amidst bones
licked clean and sharp
for there
where life...

There is a time for staying put,
And a time for moving on,
But do many of us know which is which.

I just know,
When I feel the seat is too comfortable,
I should move on from a group,
But...

If a love shall be lost to you
Matter not how fine, fair is true.
You search in vain as for the why.
To mend a broken heart you must
If in your eye a tear is thrust,
Be not...

GODS TIMING

 IN HIS TIMING  HIS WILL  AND HIS WAY

The day the hour and timing unknown
Mistaking we see His patience as absence
When in truth it is perfect and constant
The moment faultless— as manifestations...

Words that flow, from the mind of a split soul,
Ones that were hidden, for so many years,
Thrown free, departing selflessly with a goal.
No conspiracy, only massed to share some tears.
To show others, they are not...

Deeply, darkly, far and below 
mysteriously does grow 
from seed to sprout to branching limbs
trees climb upwardly through day and night
exposed to elements both hot and cold
years and ages and who knows how old
until purpose...

Humanity in general is forever scared of him
And try as far as possible to runaway from him
Belief or disbelief will never ever dither him
In carrying out duties strictly assigned to him.

He is called by many...

We grew up listening to the famous race 
between the fast moving hare and slow moving turtle
in which the turtle defeated the overconfident hare
why don’t we turn turtle and learn its nature for 
the turtles...

after "Do not go gentle into that good night", by Dylan Thomas

Age can not scour away the furrowed gnarls time obeyed,
Nor mask the snarls, gouged as trenches on brows.
Grace knurls the grip that time has...

Esteemed Mr. Elly reveres science

Azotemic energy, breathing theories

behavior – memetic.

A newborn babe in mother’s arms
Weeps so many, many tears,
No comfort comes to it until
A lullaby, softly sung in its ears
Soothes away the pain, and lips
 To kiss away the tears.

I ponder marks cut into cliffs
or drawn in caves within the earth
and wonder if I have the gift
to leave a mark of equal worth.

As jet planes streak across the sky,
I think of modern man's advance;

May He keep us, and steep us

Magical mystical soul palace 
of my heart-felt dreams, 
Are you surreal as you seem?

Polar bear guards, watching as I sleep,
Turquoise opal turrets, 
with diamonds so deep.

Twinkling steps lavished with 
lights of lavenders and turquoise, 
glistening...
