Truth is a beacon of light in the world... And It is the invisible ink on our souls...
Truth
By Michelle Morris
02/11/2020
Truth is indestructible,
It'll stand the toughest test -
It is the greatest weapon known to us
Against the evils of the flesh...
Truth is a beacon of light,
A hope that karmic justice will prevail -
It highlights nuances in facts and
Tells a holistic tale...
Truth sets us free, and can
Clear a good man's name -
When time has marched on,
And history is reframed...
Truth is part of integrity,
It is the invisible ink on our souls -
With the respect and dignity of truth,
We can all die a purer whole...

24 hours
alone with myself
the road goes on and on
24 hours
in my own space
exemption rides along
24 hours
eternity breached
its imagery returns
24 hours
tomorrow today
whose light forever burns
24 hours
becoming undone
the parts fall back in place
24 hours
the wind at my back
withdrawing from the race
24 hours
a voice calls my name
in birth year reverie
24 hours
my soul to reclaim
in what was meant to be
24 hours
Kerouac damned
a false reflection shown
24 hours
each road sign that calls
direction out on loan
24 hours
the moment reframed
once lost but now refound
24 hours
24 lifetimes
—inward outward bound

I sold my memory
for a present reframed
The past in revision
—the future in shame

Tonight, I became my youngest son,
my oldest son now gone
My youth reframed, new joy proclaimed,
a lost returning song
Tonight, I became that little boy,
whose playpen sets me free
All toys reclaimed, no further blame
—to enter joyfully

What resiliently exists
has synergetically become together
more than win/lose competitive apart
Win/Win reframed
as future integrity's healing potential
existence,
sustainable experience,
potency for positive resonance,
multicultural cross-creating
and re-creating narratives
Historical regenerative
cultural responsive
co-invested fore-gifted plots
to co-invest
in co-redeeming
cooperative ecopolitical systems.
What cannot exist,
viably persist
prefacing entropic
static
unchanging enthymematic
pre-emptive being
without past integral reweaving
systemic and ecological potential
to produce empowering gifts
To induce grace
to seed
breed regenerative health creation,
Wealth of multicultural creolization,
positive resonant inter-nations
complexly co-invested
nested cooperative fore-gifted sets
of interdependent resilience
Throughout WholeEarth Systems
re-creating
ego/eco-feminists
more rightbrain prominent
re-educators
recycling
reweaving co-redeeming narratives
Repurposing
re-ligioning
re-integrating secular and sacred
re-storied Meaning
CoMediating political bicameral ways
and economic bilateral means.

True palettes of nature,
our souls are reframed by difficult things
The hues growing darker
—forever to color the struggle within

The Self, Free Will, and Love…
today’s three illusions of life
Without just one our lives negate,
a charlatan’s delight
For the Self to Love most Freely,
this Holy Trinity must preside
What Plato ordained and Kant reframed
—modern thought tries most to hide
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Beware, social media's worldly platform,
Blameless, guilty wannabes shower esteem,
Heady headlines bathing in common manure.
Knowing one’s neighbour.
Selfie, groupies searching for public reason,
Poetry kindled reframed and lovers bonding,
Gossip transferred digital nonsense bemused.
Silence youth golden.

Free falling from your will,
diving towards
a one way kind of thrill,
Somehow, with you,
sin doesn't seem so unlikely,
like finding comparison
through contrast,
Sainthood tonight,
is highly unlikely;
You've been the only one
who has righted me.
I feel safe in turbulence,
Anxious in tranquility.
My mission isn't
complete
until I find you in all things.
You toppled my dictatorship
Feel whole when you hold me,
And hollow when you
know me.
I've been so wrong
for denying what
cannot be denied,
Tonight, let's not make heaven
seem a lifetime away.
Diving into your eyes
and becoming that speck
that gives insight.
Question all of it
Religion is counterfeit
Rewrite all of it...
Wonder how two people
accomplish
such an astonishing
miracle
completely unknowing
the first and last of it?
Constantly misguided by
circumstantial evidence.
Yelling from cloud nine
listening to our echoes say
a little bit further
Climbing, neglecting exhilaration.
The drug of being wanted,
a fall from grace,
landing face to face,
naked and unashamed,
whispering your name,
Heaven reframed.
This sin, I stake
my claim.

TRADER OF MYSELF.
Selling wrestle my pains,
Never an alternative to any
Sister know as saint.
All I work is in vain.
Trading has reframed my name,
Reshaped my ways.
Only shame replicates this game.
Have ran races, walked through
Many lanes,
Searching to sweat for weight
On my plates.
That’s how I made this place.
Wonder what would befall my
Faith.
Am aware this not save.
I pray, I pray my Creator
Would intervene.
Am ready to walkout of this
Gate.
This would make my case
Never remain the same.

since you left my wet embrace
you have not been tamed
you left me needing a want I chased
now I feel ashamed...
I thought the use of me would clue you in and stay with me reframed
