The World's Most Destructive Chemical Experiment
The feel of a touch,
the sound of a cry,
the joy of hello,
the sorrow of
goodbye.
We entangle, we combine
we fall apart -
but in the end,
we get up and
we try, try, try,
to form a connection
that doesn't end in absence.
It all ends
for those already absent.
Be present,

Shooting Stars Are Exactly As You Are
Behind every person’s soul,
a universe quietly resides.
And I still find it strange
that despite that cosmic brilliance,
we circle back to fixate
on surface-level, fleeting things.
Things that could never touch
the depth of our own true radiance.
We never notice our own
beauty—isn’t that beautiful?

Pricelessness
Each day is priceless;
We can treasure memories
Of both weal and woe.

the parable
the ocean and the cellphone
the child hears only the ocean
the elder fool is without the hearing of the elder moon
ones tide returns
when one ends the foolishness
undoing the letters takes you forward
the writing is decisive victory over saddness

Make Up Your Life
Make up your mind this very day,
Let no dream drift or fade away.
Put on primer, smooth and bright,
Lay foundation, set it right.
Shape your path with steady hand,
Frame your goals and take a stand.
Contour your days with light and shade,
Highlight the highs, let worries fade.
Blend with patience, take your time,
Let wisdom guide—its touch sublime.
Dust off doubts

The Light Within
Beneath the stars, the darkness weeps,
A silence vast, where shadow sleeps.
But in the heart, a spark takes flight,
A soul begins embodying light.
It whispers soft, a warming glow,
Through trials fierce, it starts to grow.
A lantern bright, in tempest's gale,
A beacon strong when others fail.
Through cracks of doubt, it dares to shine,
A truth that’s pure, a flame

Glide
Eyes open wide
She checks the clock
Five more minutes
Is what she wants
What she needs
Is a greater pull
Feet touch the floor
Toes curl
Big stretch
Eyes half open
Light flicks on
Splash of water
Thinks of bed
Teeth brushed
Hair put up
Eyes open again
Clothes laid out
The night before
One sleeve
Then the next
Tired eyes
Start to progress
Stairs creak
Knees crack
She’s almost

Start Fresh, Start New, Start You
Look down;
you are way better
than many critters.
Look in the mirror;
you have more power
and survived the tough hours
Look at your home;
you are super duper,
you made this one special.
Look around;
you are far better,
than many flimsy folks.
Now, stop crying and
start relishing...
For the world is small...
Very small...
But the joys abound,
all around.
Now, stop

Life choices
This is is the day
Where push comes to shove
To get what I want
I must rise above
Ignore all the people
Saying this saying that
I’ll use what you said
For this motivational rap
You think you’re one up
You can’t see your own flaws
Narsassistic tendacies
Will soon cause you to fall
When I get discouraged
And life’s beating me down
I find peace

Hey Ho Does An Octopus Know POTD
hey ho
does an octopus know
how to juggle with eight cups and saucers
and the fish watching him
while the elephants swim
then he juggles with a turtle and tortoise
then ho hey
does the octopus say
I can do this all day round in circles
but an ache in my arm
in my arm, in my arm
and so on through all

A Guiding presence
He sauntered into the room, head held high, exuding might
His gaze swept the room
His aura was palpable
So strong, exuding so much power
Oddly enough, his presence evoked a soothing calm
That is what people feel when they don't feel like they are under your control
Fear is natural, his motto he would say
The feeling to withdraw when things

A rising soul
It was once lost in the cold,
From the fragments of a broken past.
With each broken piece,
A phoenix hás finally emerged.
It pulled out from aghast.
With every step taken, it found a renewed Voice.
In a whispered cry, it found a heartfelt choice.
The whispers of the heart that spreads out.
A spirit that soars, with light that shines,
The kind
