Looking at Stars

just looking at the stars
my curiosity reaches its high and
tells me to fly through them

i will enter the interstellar space-
a place between the stars
that will send me love for coming trillions of miles apart

the love which is different
from the one that you get on your planet
where bodies are buried everywhere and ashes in the soil

the love which is different 
that will never hurt you and
one can dream of it after death

just looking at the stars 
makes me want to fly through them
for once i can't wait for everything to end

Yahweh’s Promises, Adonai’s Reality and looking at Jesus

Today, too many Christians have settled for Yahweh’s Promises
Without experiencing the full power of Adonai
The promises of Yahweh are True
The Reality of Adonai is the fulfillment of those Promises

Adonai is the Ruler, Master, and Owner 
He has the final say
As we pray, we surrender our lives to Him!
In his Kingdom, we have everything we need
We feed off His Ways as He fulfils His Plan in our lives
Adonai supports us as we surrender to His purpose
We reflect on His Name as we inspect the Promises He gave and
Having confidence that Adonai will make it a reality

Today, too many Christians have settled for Yahweh’s Promises
Without experiencing the full power of Adonai
The promises of Yahweh are true.
The Reality of Adonai is the fulfillment of those Promises

We need to experience Adonai’s Reality!

I Am A Florida Black Man Lynched For Looking At A White Woman

they said it was the sun,
but it was her eyes—
blue like drowning,
and I looked.

I didn’t whistle,
I didn’t speak,
just looked.

they dragged me out
like a busted dog
from a hot porch,
shouting things
even the devil would blush at.

the rope
was older than the tree,
and the hate
older than that.

tell her I forgive her—
but never them.

AM LOOKING AT THE FUTURE

My ancestors may have faced it rough,
And my hope of prosperity may have been shadowed
My great grand may have failed
But got nothing about tomorrow
I don’t need to know why they failed
Because that was their time
But me am looking at the future.

I may fail today
People may call me all names
To refer to a failure
But am not concerned
Because
Am looking at the future
My future is bright.

My ancestors’ future differs
From my future
They may have failed
But for me
I won’t fail
Am looking at the future.

Looking at the Moon

Do you see the same moon I see?
Do we worship the same god?
You probably live in an entirely different country:
I'll reckon we'll never meet.
I bet we have so little in common; but I guess
We could never know.
Maybe you're exactly the same as me
From the top of your head to the tip of your toe.
But whether or not you're my long-lost twin
Is a question I'll save for another time—
For now, there is one thing I know
And will always know:
We are both looking at the moon and stars;
Admiring the night sky,
And wondering if we see the same moon,
Or if everyone's life is absolute.

Supine, Looking At the Sky

Supine, looking at the sky
I’m on a hill, where daisies with the breeze
are dancing. I see birds and wish to fly -
to soar with them with joy and great ease.

Supine, with my heart in flight,
I’m flirting with the clouds surrounding me.
My spirit’s wings reach a lofty height.
Now higher than the birds, I soar free.

Supine, dreamily I glide.
The sun is sliding down, and I am one
with hues rose-red and tangerine, I ride
a radiant ray of the setting sun.

Supine, I’m falling to sleep.
I dream I am a goddess, and her name
is Luna. Underneath me shadows creep.
My reign of star-filled night I now reclaim.

Supine, Looking At The Sky

In the stillness of a new moon night, 
I lie supine, gazing at the celestial light, 
Millions of stars, galaxies, and planets afar, 
I ponder the mysteries of life, both near and far. 
 
I wonder what becomes of souls when they depart, 
Folklore whispers they ascend to the stars in the chart, 
Do they feel lonely, yearning to reunite, 
With their beloved ones, under the moon's gentle light? 
 
As the day unfolds, the stars slowly fade away, 
Descending to Earth, in ashes they lay, 
But on a full moon, my beloved, so fair, 
She asked me if she outshines the moon up there. 
 
With love in my heart, I responded with delight, 
"When I see you, my dear, the moon loses its sight, 
Your radiance outshines the celestial sphere, 
In your presence, the moon becomes crystal clear." 
 
So, in the midst of the night's celestial show, 
I lie supine, with love's enchanting glow, 
For when I gaze upon my beloved's grace, 
The moon itself finds solace in second place.

Supine, Looking at the Sky

Three times it happened, all connected,
Transcending time and space,
Ignited by the key ingredients -
A tree and sky above my face.

Looking up through skeletal winter branches,
The leaves had dropped off of each bone,
The third time I was with a cherished friend,
The others, I was alone.

Rock 'n roll poets played the stinging soundtrack,
Very clear, yet very low.
The second time the music played in my head.
The others were the stereo. 
 
Above, a patchwork of blue polygons,
Each a different shape.
My eyes traced the branching borderline.
What I'd caught could not escape.
  
Those bare boughs and branches were the border
Of my roots in the earth below
And the greater spiritual universe
As time was moving slow.
 
I was no longer lost, no longer running,
Gazing skyward, I was found.
The quiet energy in me was stunning
As I looked up from the ground.  

I saw that I was sad, but not bewildered.
Yet, too, I was wild, and I was free.
I was young and I was old, feeling bleak and cold,
But I was real, and it was me.

Looking at you now

It's been quite a while,
but that's not uncommon for us,
glancing back at the past with
a kiss blown up above,
What do we have left?
as I see you for the first time in the flesh,
speaking as if we're neighbours
bumping into each other or
just strangers passing in the street,
What have we become? 
Is this what waving the white flag is?
a way of admitting defeat?
maybe it's karma,
maybe it's the way it's supposed to be,
even if we still don't understand,
maybe we never will fully,
I'd give anything & everything,
just to be back there for a second,
but I know that's not possible,
so, this is me looking at you now,
still trying to take in who you are 
staring right at me,
if only we knew then,
all that would be lost along the way,
maybe, just maybe we would've
put more energy into just being happy.

A Creature that will Have no Tantrum

Sometimes this creature looks at you.
Those eyes can be so piercing.
Or are they kind, sympathetic?
He or she is fur – and even that
is artificial stuff. But with eyes.

What were you thinking when
you gazed at him - or her -
in a shop window?
Whose eyeballs were created
with coloured plastic, glass or affection?

Looking At The Sky

Looking at the sky
Waiting for the high, while trying to deny,
Waiting to fly, trying i'll die
Waiting for a reply, even if its dry
Waiting to die, say bye
Waiting for a guy, to tell me goodbye
All while looking at the sky

She is Looking at Me

that gorgeous woman is looking at me Pete thinks
she remembers him from third grade
when he pulled her hair
and made her cry
he runs over to say hi

I Am Looking At the Haiku In the Mirror

their faces appear 
in mirror, I see worriors
of Lord Christ Jesus.

Looking At the Sky

It is not we, who decide our dreams,
Stars do that, every day.
Hello, said the shooting star, I saw you.
The stars are waiting for our humanity.

Stop Looking At Me Mr Eagle Owl

eagle owl startles me as she swoops around
staring intently at possible prey on the ground
I hope she is not thinking of hooking those talons on me
they look treacherous for sure, and how tasty could I be?
