It is a raw material
And it is part of the natural resources
A creation
It is a fertile land
And it is part of the world
A planet
The commodities
The sweetness of the tongue
Taste like caramel
Breath taking
The playfulness of the words
Sounds like birds
Speechless
The poem,
It is a commodity
And it is part of the ingredients
A sequence
It is a treasure
And it is part of the planet
A universe
The products

The holes of the lace curtain,
Having closed the winter windows.
Life shimmers like so coveted blueberries.
So many pieces of obscurity.
The tops of the trees are spinning in the wind,
In a semicircle, back and forth,
Like whipping up the raw material for a biscuit.
Or maybe they're wringing their necks?
The wind has thrown the rumble of trains
Into a soundproof bag.
Every human is asleep.

SHEEPSHAPE
If not a ram then a sheep is a ewe
White and woolly, docile it’s true
One of many, as part of a herd
Clustered together, as preferred
Various strains are kept and bred
Unless taken for mutton instead
But there are several sheep breeds
Enough to fulfil lamb eaters’ needs
Sheep so unwanted in the wild west
They ate grass that made beef best
But lambs are cutest, as we know
Gamboling around, white as snow
So cuddly, and quite nice to hold
But not so much when they’re old
Wool is a raw material for clothes
Soft and fluffy as everyone knows
But wool can be spun into big balls
Remaining unsold until knitting calls
In Greece, sheep’s milk fares better
As there it is used for making Feta
One can even hear sheep from afar
But not so loud as to raise the baa

The King is in the field, now is the time,
Daily ask for His wisdom and creativity fine.
A glimpse of the future, He will show,
Out of life’s raw material, weave something to glow.
Catch the wind of change, let it be your guide,
Soar like a bird, in heavenly skies wide.
Embrace His blessings, bestowed each day,
And be a blessing, in every possible way.
Serve all with joy and gladness, oh joyful heart,
Let His glory invasion, ignite your every part.
As He entered Peter's boat, without fail,
Let His goodness in every workplace prevail.
For the King is here, His presence profound,
In every field, His glory will surround.
Let every city experience His goodness,
Let every heart, enjoy His kindness.

The raw material of art
is pain
The grandest illusion of all
is time
Whether parchment, canvas,
melody or stone
Each breakthrough immortal
—creation sublime

My verses smell
reality when
the truth of life
calls me.
My verses taste hope,
which is
my raw material...
my verses unwittingly
don't delight, it's because
I did not have them wet with
enough inspiration...
And not carelessly or
ill will, is that occasionally
I miss this
supply....
But my verses,
I'm sure has not
lack of joy... I do them
in harmony, with
the hours that mostly
move me...!

suffer from lack of joy ...
I do them
in harmony, with
the hours that higher
thrill me ...!

"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."
- Jalaluddin Rumi
**************************************************
The more sharp shovels strike, bruise and rip soil asunder,
the deeper is the well for life affirming, healing water to fill, swell and remedy all inflicted wounds.
The more sticks of a needles' honed, crisp and knife-like point enter as blade through unshaped and raw material, the more it forms into an ultimately wearable garment of refined, sophisticated and confident cloth.
The more clay is laid raw to bear and endure the torturous heat of a pottery kiln, the more it becomes complete as timeless, ceramic beauty.
And so it is that the deeper we humans fall in need from illness, the more healing can destroy the barriers that block our inner core of soul prescriptions from flowing with truth awareness.

Canticle to the Wind
This is the place I build my world.
A funny little god, fussing about the raw material
and without a clue about completion.
Beside the insistent calm, questions.
Beside answering, wonderment.
It is well; answers will not do.
It is out of nothing comes wisdom.
Don't look. See.
It is heartbeat; it is footstep; it is triumph;
it is vanity just before collapse; it is waiting.
Then...then it may speak beyond the voice of God
who can share with us one impossible reality:
exit and out

Different firm within the factory
The location the belly
Cowpea the raw material be
Having brought into the factory
But afore processed to be boiled
The tongue a transporter
From the gate of the mouth
Passing through the oesophagus track-way
Enzymes within functioning as workers
And the finished product derived
Distributed by the anus
The fart is produced
For the consumption of the people

Productions, no raw material,
visions infinate, born ethereal.
Imaginations memory,
cojouring thoughts where they dwell.
Images taken, the empty minds void,
depthless well,we poets the weavers,
of timeless spells.
Tommorows muse not present or past,
imortality, ink made fast,
when future poets study whats passed.

Take your raw material
And bend unto me
The coarse metals we will refine
Transmutate, warp, and respindle
Through wizardry of dance
Extracting luminous physiology,
We will free value from metallurgy
Exchanging strict elements
This molten process infusing
Will rebuild the architecture you see
You, my love forged through dreams
The mutant virtual labs of psyche
Bend unto me, my love
Allow this crucible to practice
Through time our love becoming gold
