Five Returns

All ways
are returning
back to the comfy chair
with a coffee, cat and a book
to read

To read
of roads ahead—
following that one star
a glamour hiding frozen wastes
—return!

Return
to opposite—
the pendulum swings down
here is another hell waiting
—return!

Return
Hollywood shines—
the hills hide the horrors
Barbie demons with plastic smiles
—return!

Go then
towards morning
letting the sunshine in
I will remain at this compass
always.

As you kick to the end

Senescence ongoing
Biological to the core
Cellular and systemic
Even genes mutate

Creeps in on you
Like a thief at night
Movement deliberate
Your thoughts too

The new kids run
Outpacing you
The final stretch
Never ending

Energy flagging
Redeemed by love
Unconditional and true
As you kick to the end

A stirring in the Atmosphere

There is a stirring in the atmosphere,  
Let’s go crazy with praise, sincere.  
Drums communicate the heavenly shift,  
Tambourine announce the dawn’s uplift.  

Rain down blessings from heaven’s skies,  
Let the rain dance, the oil dance rise.  
It’s the power of God within,  
Causing the shift, breaking sin.  

Breakthrough comes in our assignments,  
Victory shines in new refinements.  
Time to be trained in warfare’s ways,  
Cut through strongholds, victorious days.  

Push the enemy into confusion,  
Faith from hope, divine infusion.  
The mantle of God is called the cross,  
Wear it wisely, count no loss.  

Authority flows from deep within,  
Let’s go crazy with prayer again.  
A new dimension of worship’s flame,  
A new day, a new movement proclaim!


Movement

River desirous of long journey 
Pausing at the reddish gesture
Calls drift in from the grove 
Water laps gently on the edges

Premium Member The together movement U K

#together Is a movement in the U K..They are
So old i havent heard of them till now.!
Formed in year twenty, twenty or one
Shall we see.? What they have to say.?
What they think? Can be done.!


MUCKY MOVEMENT

Creak, creak
I hear the boards speak
The wolf is running about
Don't wiggle
Stifle that giggle
Never let the air out

Little girls learn
How to quickly discern
The choppy river in motion
It crawls, then falls
Into fragmented balls
Reaching for the magic potion

The smell of cedar
Damp chicken feeder
Pinches nerves in a knot
Just trying to live
Through pain that gives
Innocence a black thick blot

I hate sound
That surrounds
The mirrored soul with glue
I'm tired of healing
The huge onion always peeling
Layers of skin to sinew

Premium Member I Have a Right to Dance

I have a right to dance.
In my elder years, all sound has faded.
The once pure melodies are now atonal.
But kicking up a storm,
dancing is a revolutionary act.
I have a right to dance.
I awaken to a chorus of chanters,
I awaken to the legends and lore. 
Part dream, part audio reception.
Part past life, part immaculate conception.
Part laugh, part delirious deception.
I am connected, I am comforted,
I am confronted, I am contorted 
by forces ever so much larger,
by senses ever so much stronger.
I have a right to dance,
a right to prance in the human parade.
Like ants, my cells are self-organizing.
Like trees, my rings archive my story.
I smell and taste the music I recall.
I savor the instinctual harmonies,
the behavior of rhapsodies.
I deliver the symbolic pirouettes,
the mimetic genuflect.
All motion becomes a spectacle.
All movements shape a carnival.
With my body, I advance, 
moods and dreamscapes, I enhance,
             lost and forgotten in the endless expanse.
				                   I have a right to dance!

Premium Member journey without movement

we shoot an intent arrow from heart’s bow
straight through our fontanel into vast space
that truth of creation we get to know 
so that there remain no puzzles to lace
as we wander earth at an easy pace
and as we ask bliss pinches our third eye
magnetism peaking making our heart sigh
formless presence suspended in mid air
rapture spasms at crown reaching a new high
being throb of consciousness self-aware

Premium Member Mover of Movement

Movement 
has changed
thief of night
stealer of colors
and hammer sound
to a galloping
smile of lights
opening sweetness
of satin flower
through the calyx
down to honey
unseen effort
of winter night
struggling out
of hard chrysalis
muscling wings
to rise and fly
breeziness 
of blue sky
visible to eyes
egg surprise
hidden
mover of 
movement
of life 
God Almighty
changes
caterpillar
to butterfly

Uncle Hosea




           A son of Georgia 
           I was a chemist by trade 
           'Unbossed and Unbought'
           'The Movement' gave me a call 
            I left the lab and I marched

SPIRAL MOVEMENT

First I took right, very smooth 
 Love by majority 
Then I took left, very dark
Only the brave and strong strive here
Because you got to be the light 
So you can shine while striving 
Then I took time to observe 
I saw my past behind and the future ahead
Then I choose to remain present
Because I can't go to the past 
 I can't forcefully manifest the future either.

Things in the past 
Steadily stealing my attention 
Causing distractions 
Disrupting my focus towards the future 
But I'm so dynamic 
Saying to myself always 
I didn't come this far 
To settle for the least but the best.

Many times I move correctly 
Sometimes wrongly 
My mindset my redeemer
Whenever I move wrongly 
My instinct always revives me 
That's why I always trust my guts 
Making adjustments as soon as possible 
Always responsible for my mistakes 
Not find who to blame or make lame.

presence : goblet

     
    amid mysteries by which surrounds 
        nothing is certain but presence
             infinitesimal eternalising 
            energy revolves in space 
               spirit defines needs
                   we surrender 
                      living arks
                      no secret
                         who
                           we
                            are
                     tao de ching
       presence has no form no masks

Premium Member Fiery Horse

Two souls intertwine,  
the desire traces its path 
Jackpot in sight 

Shared movement.
Fruits so dreamed,  
Brilliant desire, intertwined hearts 

Two souls leap forward 
Finally reciprocally 
Finally

just enough to fly


the wild take off, one crumb more

                      not one less, just enough to fly
 
wings lift into where the wind blows 

in shadows dwell the banal, clods on snow feet

language of watching remain in judgment blurs

         when their power lies dormant, waiting ~
