my priorities shifted
Concepts I thought were imperative as a teen
Uncalled for, superfluous items often unseen
A mansion, movie star status and lots of money
Not nearly as important as being called mommy and honey

Resurrection Shifted To Monitor
I died on surgeons table
Before surgeons knife sliced my chest
Before anesthesia put me to rest
I died in imagination as hopes die in fable
Vivid thoughts ran amok
Which new abode I will go, if I die
What new way I will live, if I survive
Mind clueless, thoughts at dead end fork
Malfunctioning Valve plucked

The Old Shops
A row of shops left abandoned
People fled to towns
Wooden planks left out of place
Slits and holes penetrated through
Small ferns growing wild
Deep inside hollow and dark
A home shifted
A broken shop remained
Everything has fell asleep
Except the glory of the past
The history of the past
The bustling life of the past
And the mourning of

A Shifted Responsibility
A sunken face on all sides pale,
As the owner’s head keep supporting a pail,
Then, to the also saddled younger,
He flung a suffocating order:
That he his own suppressive load take over,
And if he so wished bear it forever,
But must not any bitter tale,
Dare to their daddy tell,
About a sudden disgraceful inability,
Or a shifted responsibility,
As all hearers

Something Shifted
Something shifted, in invisible space
Happening fortuitous, by Gods grace
Magnetic pulse from our palms transmitted
Energy divine, never abated
Outpouring gently, at an easy pace
Vibrant with bliss, its origin we trace
To the cave of our heart, our home, our base
Small miracles thus, mindfully detected
Something shifted
Enlivened by bliss divine, face to face
Tranquil and content, no puzzles

Isobars Shifted
the weather report predicted hectic thunder storms
oil jackets and umbrellas for all the stars in the show
stages were empty though except for a curtain raiser
who had failed to seek her measly social security grant
not exactly a win win situation but equal opportunities
celebries to shine without script or gambling predictions
the betting shops were closed because it

Youth Fled Away, Time Has Shifted
Youth Fled Away, Time Has Shifted
Youth fled away, time has shifted
that cumbersome dark veil lifted
With more Light, my eyes can now see
that lost lad hiding within me.
Years bring wisdom if one lets it
so pay heed, do not forget it
Temptation says, let us do that
for risking is where cool is at.
Yet what else can human life
