Long Spinning your wheels Poems

This is the third time
I've read Beyond Religion:
Ethics
[non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-violent]
for A (not "The") Whole World
[ZeroZenZone Universe, psychological and politically eco-logical].

In the second, of two, sections,
the Dalai Lama discusses,
in most excruciating therapeutic detail,
emotional positive v negative...

Isn't our quality of life greatly subject to how we view our world and what happens in it?

I heard someone say recently, (and I agree), that nature is one of the most beautiful things we...

Rats in the cellar, squirrels in the tree,
things aren't the same as they used to be.

When I left for school with my li'l lunch pail,
I didn't expect a penguin to swallow a whale.

Such an injustice,...

Sometimes I think
My computer is plotting against me
And only me!
Trying deliberately to drive me mad.

My computer knows
When I am busy,
Then it throws a hissy fit.


Constantly Crashing

It often refuses to boot up,
And crashes constantly.
It loses data...

Perhaps your life's plan was all mapped out for you from the start,
but I knew little to nothing about being a husband until I became one.
By that time, there is very little time to learn...

It’s something that I have noticed
through pretty much most of my life,
a strange malaise of spirit
that somehow just doesn’t feel right.
As if we’re just spinning our wheels,
as if we have beaten the game,
no great mission,...

can't sleep got these two in my mind a surreal moment caught in the nature of time
Pac from the East coast rolling with the holy ghost up in the crib a reason to forgive
Smalls west...

The night is young
And enticing
Still, a lump weighs heavily on my heart
As I sit by the window
And reflect on the cause of life!

Pray, it would seem that, somehow
People get so engrossed in life
That they forget...

I have been challenged

To everyday

Just WRITE SOMETHING

You’d think that’d be a simple task

Since I call myself a writer

Just WRITE SOMETHING

Isn’t as easy as it seems.

What am I supposed to write

When all I’m trying to do...

Carnelian robes permeate dreamtime landscapes
of parchment and prayer flag.
Smiling faces walk swiftly
through corridors of ancient walls
carved from living mountains,
spinning cylindrical wheels in their wake.

Patience of a thousand, thousand years,
we wait for peace.

Eagle feathers jounce
as soft...

This is mine


I’m just spinning my wheels, going nowhere fast;
I could try to care, but empathy I lack.
This place has ruined the person I used to be;
There lie the remains of me.


I have no strength...

The Unpaved Road
By Kevin Robey
October 1, 2013

(Verse 1)
This is the path that I choose
Holed out shoes and tattooed rooms
Decaying teeth out of favors to use
Jagged runes are buried in tombs

Falling tears turning into dust
Blades seem...

Where did all the sunny days go?
I feel my Soul tell me it knows
Howbeit I’m constantly chasing shadows 
Through bravado and deepening sorrows 
Endlessly I hear life's soprano
Though it sounds empty and disturbingly hollow.

My Soul...

Patience, love, compassion, trust, peace,
Are any of these for me? 
Everyday is a battle, just to get out of bed, 
I sometimes feel as though I am spinning my wheels, and going nowhere fast.

Doing for...

`

Driving by, 
lost on a side street
directly in the middle
of where I never wanted to be

Clamoring at the expectations
strewn along the curb
between the broken dishwasher
and empty beer cans

Where neighborhood gnomes
painted gaily colors
wave as if they...

I'm waiting, and waiting but my time just won't come,
I'm working hard, but it's not enough,
I feel like I'm stuck in a rut,
I keep trying, and trying but nothing seems to work.

I feel so lost...

Slow and subtle, mellow and munificent.
Stripes of selflessness run through her veins.
But there’s something about her that
I can’t describe. 

It’s love, deep love- spinning its wheels,
It never ends. Sacrifice, kiss goodbye
and cut loose, for love....

As the years and the memories slowly fade away. 
The dust from my travels have become a stone grey. 
Spent most of my life running from what, I don't know. 
Maybe it was the fear...

This is my sunset home
Forever here I roam
I can't escape these memories
The waves that throw me in the sea

To rise above the flashback tide
To know there's nowhere left to hide
We only eat...

With maxed credit limits, we’re still roving for goods
spinning our wheels over ought-to’s and shoulds
We’ll shop till we’re dropped,
might see a guy popped,
in the nose over faded blue jeans.

If it’s the very last pair

When you focus on things beyond your control
Is like dishing up heap of frustration in a large bowl

Pacing back and forth biting your nails
Depression takes the wind right out of your sails

Stress becomes your new...

THE FACE IN THE MIRROR IS REAL

I open the jar and I came out
I close the door and I stayed in
I looked at my life and I have sinned
The face in the mirror is real

Do we protect, or become the protected?
Care to extremes so we are there when expected?

Should we feel useless while trying to cling to feelings of hope?
Are we spinning our wheels hanging our heads as we...

“How are you doing?”… (sigh)… “Busy”… we hear and say it all the time
Wearing our busyness as a badge of honor while stuck in the grind

Why are we are always moving like we have somewhere...
