Outpouring of Entertainment

timely and still late
long line stalled in parking lot
cooler in car trunk, can’t reach

finally pouring
past lips and seeping through pores
propped up, shoulder to shoulder

Earth and Sky

Waiting for answers
the thirsty parched shriveled earth
gazes at the blue heaven

               heavenly raindrops
               kiss the earth from azure skies
        

Oh, humanity

Oh, humanity,
Making a welter of things, 
Put our brains to better use....

Let's fly like eagles,
To our grail of peace restored,
We don't do perfect, okay.....

BLACK WIND MoVeMeNt-

Where? Are the colors night?
Taste the rived winds black
Lack of colors attract

Black has no movement bright
Movement has no depth
Black has no tear ducts can’t weep

June’s Garden

green stalks strong and tall
colorful blooms smiling big
beaming with the Summer sun
June’s moon silky white
pink, red, orange, purple hues
refuse to go nighty-night

divine paradox

as God’s divine spark
we are resplendent with light
veiled by thoughts clouding our sight

cessation the way
to reveal the light of Self
in the cave of heart aflame

eternal

 

my love infinite
for a man gone up above -
endless, boundless, eternal
I lay a red rose 
still dew wet from the garden -
lost in a sea of gray stones

Highs and Lows

big puffy clouds
rarely seen; a Georgia high
soul returns to spacious place
Green Valley mountain
when it's red it’s time to drink
On a high; these puffy clouds 

back in Georgia heat
green leaves love this Summer treat
sky eyes are dry; not a drop
Green Valley cacti
more than a drop of sunrise
in its tequila dry heat

I visit not move
to the Senora

fear of freedom

afraid to let go
we dwell in our comfort zone
in the web of illusions

befriending silence
as awareness self-aware
we discover light of Self

Battle Scarred

No towel dries these stains
Dragon scales that pierce my soul
Hateful words that scorch my heart
Your reptilian heart
Stay hidden among strangers
Battle scarred by your coarse touch 

Psychic Connection

Across space and time
All I can feel is your touch
Psychic connection we have
Never known your love
The memories ease the pain
Blue is my mood, think of you

Coping Naturally

Yellow bottle caps
The pills to challenge my fear
May need pills to help me sleep
Don't like medicine
Its toxins with side effects
Thats why I take supplements

PTSD Mode

No relaxation
Must keep my distance from you
I see flashbacks of your face
You don't have me trapped
Your comments I will ignore
I'm safe from your delusions

POPE FRANCIS:

POPE FRANCIS:  A 5-7-5 EULOGISTIC TRIO

A man of mercy,
Teaching peace, love, and mercy;
Leaving his spirit behind:-

Timing and ready,
Said goodbye the day before;
Reflecting God's peace and Love:-

A Pope to us all,
A true Catholic Christian:
A universal shepherd:- 

When the rains come

 When the rains come down
And the dark clouds fill the sky
The old men go walkabout
 When the rains come down
And the earth no longer dry
The old women praise the Lord

When the rains come down 
And dams are overflowing
The young men learn the secrets
When the rains come down 
And fertile fields start growing
The young women
