Switching Modes


Up at the roaring sky,
Twinkling stars say hello;
Though dawn draws nigh,
Yet sky's face brightens so.

Hidden is moon's face,
Among them all- sparkling stars...
Though its reflection has such trace,
Yet stars glow on it many scars.

The brilliance of the sky tells,
Nature's beauty beyond art.
Though to sketch such spells...
Skills talent learn to rare heart.

Open mind lonely wonders of God,
Oh so great is His doings to all men...
Though mystery to men seems odd,
How reasoning puts all into its den!

Like the bright morning stars' lights...
I miss out of lateness in bed's fondness,
As eyes watch off cautionary delights¡
Awaken by clear sky's light alertness.

I pour out my heart; empty doubt.
I fly my mind at zero; fill conviction...
And stop my wandering eyes scout,
If it won't cling unto its addiction.

As much as I try,
I switch from sky to sea.
My eyes did cry...
To learn from a devotee

In order to swim at ease,
So to avoid early goodbye...
Or be labelled an escapee
By luck gets death's sea dry.

Switching modes:
Holds up grace,
To learning right codes ...
To run through such race.

(a silly series of Senryus)

It’s time to cram for
final exams, again, so
here we go, mug up.

My mind, coffee dark,
drifts in academic dreams,
—think roiling oceans.

A ‘mandatory’
society meeting? You’re
not the boss of me.

I’ll shun or eschew,
if I want too, sidestepping,
like a tap dancer.

I'm not lazy - I'm
high tech and in energy
saving mode now.

It’s a pointed and
conscious decision—I’ll do
me and you do you.

Modes of Thousand Minglings

Modes of thousand minglings


Modes of a thousand mingling
 Distilled within itself
 All forms within their structure
 None equates without the other

 All is one and of the other
 Within it’s every things of nothings
 Through progression evolved its being
 Forms its flower in its becoming

 Guided light throughout this life
 Within its making makings
 Seed and kernel in roughened stone
 Tranquil stillness risings
 Lifts itself within itself

 Innate form extended in its
 Endless freedoms coming
 Force   that shapes it shaping
 Awakes  to life’s that calling
 Within  the moral arcs that bends
 Toward  the justice needed


Premium Member Modes of Transmission

Sacred Scripture is the speech of Eternal God
As it is put down in writing
Under the breath of the Eternal Holy Spirit

Holy tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of Eternal God
Entrusted to the apostles by Father Christ, the Lord
So that
Enlightened by the Spirit of truth
They may faithfully preserve
Expound
And spread it abroad by their preaching

Church, to whom the transmission 
Interpretation of Revelation is entrusted
Does not derive her Both Scripture and Tradition
Must be accepted and honored 
Equal sentiments of devotion
Reverence

Changing Modes of Life

Matured's sweet silence
                                   Crowds of children playing game
                                          changing modes of life
