ROWE

Rising each day even when it’s hard,
Open to the little joys that show up.
Walking through life one step at a time
Every instant showing me I’m alive.

Premium Member Of Eternity

Eternity
is the eager
but infertile
earth that
we plant
our seeds
of love and
heaven and
promise in
with the
knowledge
that they
will never
blossom.

Premium Member Of Haughtiness

Haughtiness* is a formidable tower
ascending toward self-exalted fame
anchored by steel of personal gain
rising through conceit’s brace
projecting gracious meekness 
while standing tenaciously
upon sinking ground
of futile superiority
predicament. 

*Isaiah 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

Of Hangovers

a hangover is natures way 
of reminding us that our bodies
do not always agree with
what our minds have decided to do

Premium Member Of Sorrow

Sorrow is

the night’s rainstorm

lashing an impoverished psyche

wandering lost with loss 

‘neath weeping eaves in murky-minded alleyways

without an umbrella.

Retirement is 
Like a wind-up toy
going strong
until you unwind
and fall asleep
in mid stride

Premium Member Of Love

Of Love

    Love oozes, surges
    cascades on opulence
    rushing with emotive urge,
    flows in elegance,
    yet fades, becomes feeble, frail,
    dries, decays, dies, gets extinct
    completing life cycle.

Of a Writer Wondering Whether a Character Acts At His Will

A writer 
wondering whether a character acts at his will 
is just a character 
acting against his will 
in the another writer's work 
about free will.

Anticipation is like
the gnawing of a
hungry squirrel that
cracks open a nut
with the outcome of 
a delighted squirrel
or a rotten nut.

True enlightenment
is revealed
at the top 
of the rungs
on the ladder

as you ascend

and with

of illumination
you reach
its splendid shore

Chaos is but

   a furious gust

  of wind blowing

through the desert

   glorying order

  overwhelmingly

      with sand 

      and dust.

Of Love

Love within its stupor

an emotional rollercoaster 

ride of instability for 

before you know it 

you’re down again.

Of Myself
myself is a spirit
encased in a soul
