Investment In Heaven
Written: by Miracle Man
2-20-2020

My finances never deprive me of needed sleep,
though thoughts of collecting, find me somewhat beguiled.
Because I enumerate blessings, not counting sheep,
In Heaven you'll find my retirement plan is now filed.


I proactively I check on its...Read More

A voice is sought
Loud and clear
Echoing through crystal caves
Roaring as the waves

A voice eternal
A voice supernal
A beacon of hope
Sight to blind grope

Yet, sun after sun
And, moon after moon
From father to son
Years devoid of gospel

The bonfire of hope
Flickers and loses flames
With...Read More

The old man opened his eyes
‘I am in a meditation’.

As his worlds crumbled
‘I am a meditation.’

And so, he died
Thus was his disappearance.

We remaining
Call it death.

Why?

Blink on, blink off
Who’s to say.

When, where, how
is the waiting.

Or is waiting just dwelling
In another ‘when/where’...Read More

THE GOOD…

They say I am a dreamer and a true romantic fool 
Happiest living in my own little world though you are welcome too     
Extremely intuitive my sun in Pisces whilst loving the moon and the...Read More

       New sushi chef’s crap

I’ve wandered in my mind’s wasteland
on the splinters of my broken heart,
on the scorching time’s parched sand,
the abyss of discord kept us apart.

I’ll take you to my garden path with me,
together we’ll begin there a new journey.

I’ve travelled a long...Read More

VERSE 1.
I cover myself with the graces of your heart;
While deep inside me is a child lost;
I open up wide my mind thoughts;
While redeeming myself at all cost;

Chorus
Closer that I am to you;
The more than I allow you;
Too…
As I receive...Read More

A peace of mind 
Walking by myself at a decent time 
No one to check on me 
At least I’m fine
Lower my standards 
A million zillion reasons to
Believe in me 
As I’m reaching you
Every evening new experiences 
This crib I...Read More

jealously he sat watching
thinking, believing,
 and knowing
he could sing it better.
he heard the intro's
 and took que along with
the vocalist , background 
singers, and the orchestra
from the audience he

the orchestra instructed 
him to began singing

When I was young my mother's hand
Led me through a joyful land
Where neither war nor hate exist
Nor something more I must resist 

Where nothing but the night is black
And black is never dark for lack
Of something bright or greater light
But...Read More

The many choices in which you’ll take, all the wonders and lovely aches.
A thousand mistakes yet greater successes, look at all of your progresses.
The world you’ve yet to adore and explore, a single thought leads to an open door.

A simple pickle is the essence of life’s journey,
The recipe of a very experienced granny,
Who has put for the test of our taste bud,
emotions we all taste from cradle to mud!

Have you ever tried a lemon pickled sauce?
With salt, jaggery,...Read More

As I toss a silver coin into the mango contoured fountain, a lilac laden tone
that reeks of flower garden ether archly probes.
“What somersaults bewitch those forehead rivulets when synchronising waves of rhythmic thought?”
Psychic or clairvoyant

When we're faced with
Life's situations that seek
To alter our paths in a 
Negative manner and each
Researched solution seems
To drift away at every turn,
Seeds of insecurity and frustration
Are planted and doubt takes root
To our cerebrums
Like weeds to a garden.
We fall to...Read More

Stepping Stones
==========

Invest one’s words whilst
Disengaging spent brain mode;
Discover Haiku. 

Walk midst new flora,
Engaging sensory brain;
Discover freedom.

Test out thoughts anew,
Embracing strange views unleashed;
Discover mercy.

Follow trekking stones,
Entranced with fierce, sleeping giants;
Discover courage.

Look askance at
Passing points of brutal pain;
Discover heartbeats.

Feel pure cashmere shawl

I kept telling my sister, please find a guitar-loving man if you can.
She thought it was hilarious, and was not a big fan.
She found a man in SoHo and fell madly in love.
Thought he had been put in her path...Read More

the hidden ones delight my senses
increase my smell nodules
exude expectations
of what faeries, pixies and muses can do

The hidden ones help me prance in my head
keeping me in a happy place
as I listen while smiling
thinking about my faeries, pixies and muses

In the dead of night, I finally fell asleep,
Looking back, I'm sure it was much too deep!
For a dream within a dream, opened my eyes,
To being inside a rainbow, of new sunny skies!

It was so vast, with no beginning and...Read More

Contrary to dream

Did they know
If they're still alive
Weep and cry over the ground

For the convenience of mankind
With so many ideas and challenges
Many inventions and products developed
It is used to threaten survival.

The harmony between the new continent and religion
By many leaders...Read More

Archaic Torso of Apollo
by Rainer Maria Rilke
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

We cannot know the beheaded god
nor his eyes' forfeited visions. But still
the figure's trunk glows with the strange vitality
of a lamp lit from within, while his composed will
emanates dynamism....Read More

Four Seasons of Watermill 

Watermill, Watermill, Watermill
At the entrance of Seoul National University
A watermill that goes back to alone

In the spirit of spring earth
Forcefully turn the watermill

In the summer heat and rainy season
Don't get tired and turn around

When the autumn...Read More

I know why the cage bird sings
She sings nostalgic melodies of the jungle
Where she flew along , on the wings of the dawn without the restrictions of her cage 
A beautiful place designed for her, a wage 

I know why...Read More
