Premium MemberThe Traveler's Call

Bring me the cane, the old purse;
I’ve journeyed through too many seasons here.
The roads have shifted like dreams I’ve lost,
but my feet still know the way.

No need for ceremonies or goodbyes—
it’s time to leave behind what no longer serves.
The sky ahead will be enough,
and I’ll follow where the horizon leads.

Premium MemberChanging the Past

a strange sort of flow
comes with thoughts of long ago
spews a welcome glow
nostalgia may just soothe
when mixed with lies and half-truths

Hitler and his ilk
less troublesome than spilled milk
like Wendell Wilkes
slavery a slight bother
endorsed by founding fathers

a happy nation
few trials or tribulations 
add more misinformation
ignore racial injustice
force the children to trust us

all Greenwood flattened
pretend it never

Premium MemberThrough Purposeful Zeal

Oh, Lord, imbue me with gratitude and zeal.
Much as the red burst trailed the glistening steel.
As a possible sequel, yielding divinely may reveal.
There is no laziness but an apparent ordeal. 

What if I could eagerly grasp the spirits for adoring?
Allow me to depict life out of a stance of meaning.
Sustain me to detain a brilliant

Premium MemberUnfavorable Winds

Fabled America is slipping away, 
surely you’ve felt it, like wind knocking 
a weather vane in another direction.
At some unnoticed moment
we decided to ignore realities
as a man intent on drowning himself
plows heedlessly through the waves.

PURPOSEFUL LIFE

 Why am I alive?

its answer is not in my insight

for what I have to strive

its answer is not satisfying

suddenly the answer arrive

with my ears strike

for many reasons

you are alive

for helping others and guide

don't think life is in vain

just think what you have gained.

Premium MemberPeace Wonderful Purposeful Peace-

PEACE
Peace, I awoke and flung the truce
Peace, Once I sat engaged and ordering
'PEACE!'  I INSIST, 'Yes PEACE!'
I heard a War making, loud angering
PEACE
Peace, I awoke and flung the truce
My passion is the pacifist process
Much I marveled the splendid break
Freedom - freedom - freedom! 
Peace, And the inch was singing I fling 
Peace, I felt

Dump Artificial Goals, Live a Purposeful Life!

Do your goals disappoint you, like verse without rhyme,
There's an urgency missing; all go overtime,
Are you jealous of others whose goals play a part
In much larger endeavors that border on Art?
Your life needing direction? Your path lacking light?
Well, these simple directions can help end your plight.

First, consider examples of

Purposeful Life - Sentinel

Amidst the roaring  waves I live and stand 
claws bared, waves rise and fall to tear me down;
lashing me with chilling force to disband,
their perpetual onslaught wants me drown.

Screaming tempestuous chill winds storm me
buffeting hard to wipe me out of ground,
winds and waters join hands to howl and glee
with perennially ominous sound.

Storm, sound, slush
