Shining as Self and knowing who is God,
laudable no doubt but not quite enough,
unless wisdom dawns in mind-body pod
and all cravings of ego we rebuff,
giving love a nod in our heart now thawed,
awareness self-aware, free of mind stuff,
for unless we break free from every chain,
we’ll be born on earth again and again.
The horse
simple symbol
power and beauty
said Lisa
I've never known her but I wish.
I see how her presence
is missed.
Don't ask why I change
Life is never be the same
I believe things evolve
This year I'm 55, 56 next year
This time I have many gray hairs
Not knowing next months all are white
I see my face has many wrinkles
Before only few of them I manage
I can push up 100 when I was 40
Now at 55, I barely made 50 push up
Before I always greet the morning free
Cause I wake up early and exercise
Now I mostly wake up late time
It's already hot and meals serve brunch time
Before I can jog a mile, now walk a mile
Love to comb my hair, now a hand brush is enough
Daily bath is routine, now interval of a day
No helmet drive motorcycle during youth days
Now, fear to drive instantly at busy highway
I have much foreboding in life when getting old
Life is never like before, sense of safety is a must
I have never such a impulsive feeling than being compulsive now
I have change a lot because of necessity of aging beforehand.
Money is not everything
But everything needs money
If there's no money cheese is sour
That cause lethargy and vertigo
Our food depends on the content of the wallet
Foreign stock it's not working
I search for money and leave my land of birth
To make my life in affluence and favorable.
Even though I am still like borrowing these ideas
to be frank the world else how may be beautiful
but not to be always frank.
As how can we test fine stone for common
or these our socialization for solitude
or can we practise let
say sophisticated mill of a thing
because of the frankenstein
scenes along the roads?.
Can we bear the adventure and loss and sometimes
grudges?,
yes, we sometimes know the smiles and laughters
are ours to grow, make them like a house of gold
and silver,
even though sometimes borning and pretending.
I asked Google is this right somehow on necessity?.
The trouble now is comparison
though nature by virtue
is always a glee
you see where differences
arise glass somehow may reflect
for better or worse.
Let assume the moon is a kind
of a necessity following
and some and things forging
still here the race of let say 5 carts and some horses.
Rainy day today
Rainy day Sunday
Sunday on par
Sunday too far
Far better now
Far to go
Go with wind
Go with breeze
Breeze dries clothes
Breeze dries hair
Hair curls softly
Hair curls tight
Tight rope walker
Tight rope act
Act one action
Act one scene
Scene from train
Scene from ship
Ship sail seas
Ship has captain
Captain steers ship
Captain flies plane
Plane glides in
Plane takes off
Off we go
Off to market
Market sales on
Market price war
War is unpeaceful
War is evil
Evil isnt good
Evil is not nice
Nice is sweet
Nice is better
Better is fortunate
Better is precious
Precious is valuable
Precious is priceless
Priceless is art
Priceless is good health
Health is important
Health is imperative
Imperative is urgent
Imperative is pressing
Pressing is ironing
Pressing is necessity
Necessity is Blitz
Necessity is fine
Fine.
Blitz
the air of our quiet breathing
the bower bounce on which to live
outlasting all the blooms and bells of time
sweet to inhale in fresh woods and on sunflower hills
in an ever-changing dance
come ruins of unseasonable change
from bending heat
from lightning strikes
to flame the forests
particle showers like white fire singed
twinning thin air with a polluted cling
overhanging smoke
for cities in a gray-grind swim
just an environmental blip say some
not the change that threatens human kind
this smoke field as vast as all the world's disorder
what's salvageable?
a will to cherish crystal air that skims our wings
like a New Year's revel
soulful comfort
were we wiser once?
before fire choked the passing clouds
before the cauldron bubbled
the air
atmospheric anchor
vessel of our calling
imperiled necessity
once floating idealism
the changing sails of what we own
A TV commercial wants me to buy gold,
another one offers me a full pound of Morgan Silver Dollars
if I hand over a pile of cash.
Poets are rarely rich nowadays.
Back when, poets were moody and secretly gay
people wore smoking jackets
or puffy clouds of crinoline.
You could tell they were hoy polloi,
and regular folks assumed that only
those that did not need to work wrote stuff.
Poetry nowadays might get you some gold,
but probably not enough for a tooth filling or two -
maybe.
Dire necessity kills the sluggishness of time.

A gaggle of geese, a duck, and a gander
Set off on a journey a way over yonder
And thought what an adventure! --
I enjoyed their exciting venture,
They soon discovered no water was around
In the place where they were bound,
As everyone knows, ducks take to water
And if there is none, there ought-er.

Navigating is the greatest certainty that we have in life...
living too...
Navigating is necessary;
living, too...
Life is a sea of uncertainties that we are breaking through continually
... There is no safe harbor
in the opened sea,
there is no safety in
to circumvent the storms, but the certainty
that we must endeavor is what makes us navigate... Precise is our necessity...
Together we connect with
Out of step see
Maybe mixed might may
It be that seed we plant
Informed reform rob unites
We see to be or nay say we
Claim too lame we disclaim a relevant
Release at these exchanges that
Open up at ease without
Need for rearranging
Lost we succeed too
Many other nights.
But last we yesterday. ..
And be what it just may
And back to my old shelf.
I work and plague for days.
Viewed differently than today
Claim to lame to disclaim.
No need release exchange
We see to be or nay.
Mixed up might may
But last we yesterday.
And be what it just may. ..
Waning threadbare hope,
He faces uncertainty,
He craves a ration.

Humans have lot of tensions,
It is subjected to extension,
Hard to place their notion,
In fear of not getting enough promotion.
But want to remind you all,
If Newton had thought,
No one would hear,
We would have stayed rear.
The invention and development,
would have become rare.
These days of modernity,
Is due to questioning capacities.
Must keep our calm,
Questioning will do no harm,
It is the strongest weapon everknown,
Has the capacity to unlock the unknown zones.
