BRAIN FLOW

Dark clouds moving on;
Winds of wisdom are blowing:
Well-breezed mind, soaring:-

Premium MemberI JUST LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH

I JUST LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH  

Loneliness is as a period 
Without a full sentence;

It mirrors a riverbed
That once knew water;

Yes, loneliness can be canvassed 
As a dried eggshell that has lost all:-

You were my life’s sentence, water, and yoke:
And this life of mine, just misses you so much:-

Premium MemberThe Dance Of Life

What is a ripple without its rhythm? Ripples and rhythm fashion life Together like a pulsing heart Rippling with the magic flow Caught in rhythm like the beat Flowing, swirling, with ups and downs Creeping along with measured steps A team of joined togetherness- The Dance of Life goes rolling on.

Premium MemberAHOY

AHOY!

It’s not a foregone conclusion,
but a stinging reality: Even porcupines
master love, without making pain
a subsidiary organism:-

Though the pain of love's waves
may froth ashore, waves will recede
and froth will eventually dissipate 
with healing evaporation: Leaving a sea
of memories floating on the ocean of life:-

Thoughtfully watered, always keep in mind, 
you’re the captain of your soul, and
the blown wind in its sail:-  And remember,
though docked and anchored, you can still 
set sails for tomorrow—getting ready today:-
Ahoy, Matey! Be in winds of sailing grace:-


Premium MemberTHE DIVINE CONSTELLATION

THE DIVINE CONSTELLATION  

You’re the sparkling light leading me
Through the darkness of life’s forest;
Shattering all trying to lead me astray:-

 There is no darkness your light 
Can’t penetrate—shattering blindness:
Enlightening awareness constellated to all:-

You are indeed the sun, moon, and stars of life,
Filling it with the glow that blinds evil deviations; 
For you are God’s divine wisdom and guidance:-

Premium MemberGARDENING SELF

GARDENING SELF  

Fertilize your mind…
Dig away self-worthlessness…
Nature your self-growth…

Premium MemberOF FAITHFUL FORTIFIED FEET

OF FAITHFUL FORTIFIED FEET

In the chill
of the night,
pining, piercing pain,
took its toll on the spirit
of my weary pedals:
swollen, aged feet,
seeking Hannibal-like 
courage to meet
new sunrise challenges
tomorrow will bring
to a primed soul
still sojourning
struggle:-
Pray tell,
it’ll be God’s will,
that these
worn soles,
will stand
my worn soul,
perpendicular
to the worn
soil of life:
keeping me
in elephant-walking calmness,
in another blessed day, sacredly
still sojourning the struggles of life—
struggles, God streams us overcoming:-

Premium MemberA QUIET EARRING POETIC FLOW

A QUIET EARRING POETIC FLOW

Quite sun
shining,
Quite green leaves
waving;
Quiet ears
ringing:-
In the silent
night,
Ears ring
quietly
 to themselves:
Echoing
to me:-
The ears
continue
To ring
in profound
silence,
Echoing life:
When will 
these echoes
reveal
Wisdom
and understanding?
Ringing 
silent ears;
Let us give
thanksgiving praise
For echoing life:
Without quiet
ringing,
Would we be
 in this loud world?!
Let us
be happy;
Wisdom and
understanding,
Quietly
ringing out:
God speaking
all languages;
Streaming all
our ringing ears:-
Wow, what
an amazing brain:
Quietly ringing
opened ears:-
Ears not only 
hear all music,
They also quietly
play theirs:-

Premium MemberYOU, LOVE, AND GOD'S LIBERATING SCAR

YOU, LOVE, AND GOD'S LIBERATING SCAR 

Ever remember,
You’re the child of God’s grace:
The devil’s desire:-

Satan craves God’s goods:
Can’t steal, he seeks to adopt
All confused navels:-

Navels can’t erase
The scars of their beginnings:
Heaven can’t be hell:-

Hate can’t adopt love:
So, slap Satan in his face,
And walk away free.

You are God’s glory;
A liberated navel:
A keloid of love:-

Premium MemberIN THE PILLARING OF LIFE

IN THE PILLARING OF LIFE   

Be a pillar
Of peace and love;
Supporting justice 
And equity:
Foundations 
Of democracy;
And it’s roofing 
From above:-

Premium MemberDAWNED AND PERPENDICULAR

DAWNED AND PERPENDICULAR   

Another day dawned:
Sun and I, paralleled and
and perpendicular:-
To others who are likewise,
Let us give God the praises:-

Premium MemberThe Death Of Fireflies

Oh yes, in the dark of night~ just like the fireflies flashing against a sky of black with final elusive sparks that celebrate life's end ~ will illuminate my soul and still my heart, as death's adventure lifts me to the stars. Fireflies glow, then they rise to die and procreate. My soul is reborn to meet new life at Heaven's Gate- and waiting there- my eternal fate.

Premium MemberA Leaf In The Woods


A dislodged leaf from dry tree floats away
in turbulent air across land fallow 
with its lone life through the freedom archway,
evades the whirlpool of chaotic flow.
To a woodland it sets its course to fly,
soaking up the aura of sequined dust 
splashing from the cauldron of sparkling sky
in dulcet dawn of sunburst color gust.
Plunged in the vortex of the tumult stream 
my soul’s lone leaf wilts in disposition 
for me to incite my senses to dream
in the serene shade of isolation.
Strolling in the woods of solitude swift 
I discern the leaf of lost me adrift.
