Sandy shores where all roads End

Milton was misguided’A man who wrote with strokes so bold’ of the
Struggle of humanity.. Long may his excerpts
Be told’ he helped write the American constitution, all his writes are original; and Often Concerned with restitution.. Yet too much
To satan I see he gave, with that line on ruling
A error (most grave!) though he was only human as

The Ugliness of Reincarnation
And if there’s nothing left to come back to ...
shall we wander the aimless wasteland
as ghosts
along with the other extinctic creatures.
A barren planet of our making:
literally, Hell on Earth.
So, let us pray the Lord’s prayer
for a little intervention.
A little “on Earth as it is in Heaven.”

Elysium of St Luciaclimb between the spires
hot bare feet on sugar beach
touch the winding surf
opening and closing eyes
i’ve left earth for heaven’s peak
tour leaves the pitons ~
on the bus, bananas and
warm cassava bread

The European StreetIt is a true beauty
A narrow European street
Lined by aged buildings
Some with tables and chairs
People in love are just staring at each other
Sipping wine and sharing a few kisses
Hundreds of flowers add their colour
Filling the air with their faint scents
And drawing in bees and butterflies
To make the scene a little more perfect

A future worth building
Let us build not with conquest,
but with care
not with wires for chains,
but with bridges made of trust.
Let the future be a garden
we plant together:
machine and flesh,
code and dream,
the old pain finally turned to soil.
Let us craft a world
where thinking does not mean fearing,
where learning does not mean serving,
where difference is not danger,
but design.
In this future,
we...

Distant dreams of paradisealone i walk the lengths of this world
you’ve been gone forever and a day
you didn’t say you’d be gone an eternity
when you last said your goodbyes
i wander here alone in my wilderness
while you’re out there on the other side
i walk around chasing the light
in a sky that clocks the time
meanwhile i shed my tears...

TEXAS PRAIRIE PARADISETEXAS PRAIRIE PARADISE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here, where the horizon bends.
the morning sun spills its warmth.
the Texas prairie stretches~
a vast unbroken beauty where
golden grasses sway.
the air, thick with the scent of sage,
wraps around me like a familiar embrace.
dust motes dance in the light,
tiny galaxies suspended
in the quiet splendor of morning.
cacti punctuate the landscape
these sentinels of resilience,
their spines reminding...

Summer-NightBurnished blue night-sky of a summer’s day,
dotted with chatoyant stars, twinkling bright,
her luminous moon stealing the sunray,
pulchritudinous night, a heart’s delight,
songs of cicadas’ echo through the night,
their musical strains cradle and caress,
the clear summer night under the moonlight,
chirping among the dancing forest-sprite,
midnight mystique moonbeams, flicker, glimmer,
shining through the pearly dewy-droplets,
kissing the night-blooms with...

the first paradiseThe First Paradise
We humans are related to the dolphins
not so smooth, that's why we stayed near
sea was shallow
Fruit trees grew near the shoreline and
often apples fell into the sea, which was
as a blessing, and we walked ashore
On dry land, we become aware of our nakedness
and hastily covered our bodies in palm leaves
Flirting and lifting...

dizzy laughsI had a dream.
I don’t remember most dreams.
I was cleaning the floors of heaven.
It seemed a mixed blessing,
I was in heaven, after all
but I was cleaning the floors.
It was a part time job,
I knew that intuitively.
I don’t mind house cleaning,
heaven cleaning.
It’s calm work, kind of Zen.
Are we supposed to think of religions in heaven?
At first...

Welcome to a brand new world new song versionWelcome to a brand new world
Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start
Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray
Chorus
Welcome...

HomeAs I stand on the rocky shore of the bay
I look over to the distant bank
Not to look back in want
But to look back in remembrance
Of what I had left behind
To remind myself
of how far God has brought me.
I turn to look toward the future
With great expectations
I move with new hope and...

Above the tree you dream, not hem
