Your call resonates like a lost echo among the shadows of dusk
Your call resonates like a lost echo among the shadows of dusk,
Deep within me, like spring water flowing towards distant lands.
My heart, boundless and mysterious, responds silently, naive and gentle,
As the sleepless twilight creeps again through the misted windows.
The lilac and currant bow their heads gracefully in the evening wind,
And my silent homeland whispers the

Care Beyond George Floyd
Four years before George Floyd met death
Tony Timpa drew his last breath
A cop pressed a knee into his back too
Tony cried warnings, the warnings were true.
Tony was white, George was black
A knee in Tony's back wasn't a racist attack
In neither case, was killing sought
It was a bad police tactic, that cops were taught.
If we talk

Strongly in my delighted ear;
My soul smiles -
As if she'd not died years ago
And been shut away in a wall ...

Detonates and Resonates
Only my mind fields detonates and resonates
Decipher’s a threads of tangled words
Angry angels in the aftermath
The glow of wraths fate radiate
Sealed in the tombs of my compromise
All here written on my epitaph
As my mind fields detonates and resonates

Rhythm and Jazziness That Resonates Familiar
Following the trail of stardust I float to Jupiter
Looking for answers
But alas they are elusive and unkind
I do not understand
or fathom rudeness
Upon my return my eyes flutter in relief
REM sleep takes me deeper and deeper
Poetry can be written another time
Tonight there is nothing
No inspiration
Don’t give up an ancestral voice whispers
She has answers
And questions I had

Florescent Father Breath Resonates-
-O Lord
The morning sun taste like almonds and cinnamon;
And your daughter her voice smelled liken lavender;
~Florescent Father breath resonates~
As the music sounded heavy as thunderous rain storms;
So the color green feels like satin emeralds pearls;
The color red taste like licks from a new born pup;
~The Father's touch embraces me~
As midnight rain is bitter as

What Resonates In Me
"If I asked, “what resonates in you”,
What would you chose
Is it a time and place that made its mark,
Pulling you up when all seemed dark
Is it faith that provides,
That feeling inside
Or is it the compassionate view,
Of those misfortunate that imbue you
Is it a symbol or a sign,
Or it’s meaning behind
The power they represent,
Earthy

Hope Resonates
Youth doesn't stop to question if love is true,
they're eager to ignite passion's flame.
For; the need to belong outweighs their fears,
a desire so strong it's hard to ignore.
Sweethearts blinded by the aura of love
shun all reason as darkness zeros in.
For; the dazzling prospects of make-believe
tickles libidos; and mutes silent screams.
Doubt dissects happiness, exposing truths,
as reality

Every day I discover facets that make me; me...
