"Reality is something you rise above."
-Liza Minelli
*****
what cannot be overcome can still be defeated,
for where there is hope, we too can ascend-
transcend above the power of life’s actuality,
conviction in searching for the sureness of reality
confidence of free climbing into what is truly mine,
my certitude shall seek what should have been sought-
i find accuracy in veracity with facts to support
what shall be heard before i reach my last resort
lifted
HIGHER
and
HIGHER
above whom i used to be…
before i was me
surge with growth and understanding what is real
and what is flawed ‘neath the willow weeping,
forever minding what has become my sincerity
with
true conviction in the reality of verity

Achieving after Conceiving and Perceiving
Goals I accomplished after them achieving;
New ideas and thoughts can be conceiving;
My philosophy,
Is part of me;
Plans were result of what I was perceiving.
Deceiving and Are Grieving
Thoughts of his he had became deceiving;
We felt so sorry and then started grieving;
Were so sad,
He was bad;
Overboard bruised body must be heaving.
You can apply this to some politicians
that you may know.
Receiving and Relieving
Message from friends we are receiving;
From his duty he has must be relieving;
Has flipped lid;
Leaving he did;
Committed suicide and body are retrieving.

Perceptions and Perceiving
If we have an agreement with reality
that reality consists of 10,000 separate things
and that we in our body/minds are the
subject and observer of all of these things
reality will unfold just thusly..
Yet..consulting our experience we do not
find the many boundaries assumed
and the experience of seamlessness
arrives quickly in a new day...
Thought for the day....... "You will always define events in a manner which will validate your agreement with reality.” Steve Maraboli (Life, the Truth, and Being Free) Thanks, Nancy..!
All the colors that my eyes see
Seem to become a part of me
The red that bleeds my angry days
The gray that shades my darkest ways
The forest green that brings me ease
The purple tracks from my disease
Toni’s black dress that blesses my nights
Faith is now my pillow of white
Colors lead to one conclusion
The rainbow is God’s illusion
Through the rainbow what my eyes see
I perceive immorality
For within the words that I write
The will in man to face the fight
To change his life and learn to be
A child of God proud and free
Everyone perceives, as they will
I can only write what I feel
I feel these colors in my soul
God’s rainbow leads to streets of gold
I made a couple of minor changes to
part one because it was brought to my
attention that couplets should stay on
syllable count throughout, I never knew
that. I hope that's ok. If not I will use
the original part one for they're very similar
Part one & two for Sir. Brian's contest.
Hope is a hope, hope against hope, keeping us to Hope
On and on and on, for the things that make us go On
Perceiving and perceiving the un-certainty of un-Perceiving
Earthly art form: breathe of a life, of which is Earthly
