Short Act Upon Poems

“It is important we strive 
each day to perform 
acts of love and kindness 
to one another because 
like our natural cousins: 
air, water, fire, and earth, 
the human soul is malleable 
and will take the shape 
of the forces which act upon it.”...

The sum of all possibility,
true nature of our soul

To act upon or take flight from,
virtues to extol

What may or may not happen,
to inspire or pretend

The choice is ours, the will empowers
—to flee or to ascend

(Bryn Mawr College: September, 2020)...

Do the work, feel the pain 
Your efforts may not be in vain 

Notice the necessity 
Enhance your ability 
Where there is a chance 
Don’t be in a trance 
Grab the opportunity 
Act upon your duty 
 
For the outcome will be your gain 

Do the work, feel the pain 
Your efforts may not be in vain...

A GENESIS WEEK

another weekend 
come and gone
another week
to act upon
another schedule
yet still press on

instigate alteration
innovate brand new
instigate variation
modify break through
instigate transformation
a Genesis week pursue

Nature is truth by natural
No need to dress up

Truth is truth by born
No need make up

Roots, the foundation for standing up righteously
The hidden power as true heart

Hands of the thief
Act upon the command of hungry belly

Rain comes to bathe out to inward
But senseless robotic life out of pains

Feed your thoughts with positive things,
Relax and enjoy the pleasure it brings,
One negative thought can determine your fate,
Act upon it quickly before it’s too late. 

Thoughts are like seeds they will surely grow,
Ask, answer, and discuss the good things you know, 
Positive thinking will produce positive actions, 
Try thinking positive thoughts all the way through....

A test of limits
to crumble a palace
half constructed of dreams
and rebuilt hopes, manufactured
from old green pastures
torn fallow by divots of
malevolent life, a chasm forged
of intimacy far too close, no
stage to act upon in test runs
or delight
Change ushers forth from barren
lands, but only when day breaks
does the earth, so saddened, find
the courage to respond....

Confusion reigns in places we allow ourselves to be
As life hands to us so much to ponder
Not always having answers we may want at the time
All we can do is try, with each step taken
To act upon our talents and instincts
To move with the flow of time ticking hope
While open to thoughts that serve us best
The rest will unfold from the goodness of our hearts

Reason feeds say
Despite delay


Act upon feel
To do a deal


Goodwill can bind
Beyond mere kind


Listen with heart
As urges start


Do all you can
To understand


Work on your cause
Not just because


Set goal to see
Works of plenty


Live in the light
Where there is sight


Yet at the end
Sense beyond scan

Peace of mind now dwells,
Expand that sure feel;
Act upon life's spell,
Choose calm thoughts that heal:
Express love each day.
Offer to be true,
Feel beauty that stays.
Meet the moments grand,
Indulge love in kind,
Notice the silence,
Decree what you find.
Niche then true brilliance,
Orbit in life's dance,
Work your cause and chance.

Due to secrets, 
The imagination could be enemy of man.
For to think of destruction,
Could then force a weak man to act upon.
For to think of heinous crimes,
Could seduce the strength of the powerless.
Ah, think,
If imagination can take us to new worlds,
Can’t we come up with a way
To prevent the imagination
From allowing crimes against woman and man?
Imagine how the world
Could then be....

Seek now to play most sensory,
Oomph flavours stay on harmony.


Feel that pure surge of comedy,
Act upon urge sweet melody.


Stop thinking now harsh tragedy,
Let flow endow deep symphony.


Watch how time moves warm urgency,
Discern fine grooves of fantasy.


Frolic styles dance with wonder's glee,
Brave that pure chance that sets you free.

In the chain of creation we pave the way for their very existence
Yet, we can remain a stranger to them in this world of empty distractions
It is not that they do not occasionally seize upon a thought of others
But only on rare occasion might they act upon that thought
As has been the way of passage throughout these many thousands of years
The silence of the lambs continues as does the sadness that it fosters...

Were I the kind of person
Who’d act upon a dare
I wouldn’t be here
Plopped down on my rear
Without some excitement to share.

Were I the type of writer
Who sought out wealth and fame
I’d research the ways
To gain notice and praise
So more people would nod at my name.

But I am a risk-averse person,
Content in my own little world;
Not even in sleep
Do I dig down so deep
That my freak flag will flutter, unfurled....

Words in fond surge
Now merge with urge


Verse in crisp rhymes
Sparks joy that chimes


Work thought to sketch
How cheer can match


Feel in fine lines
A touch most fine


Sculpt words that link
Deep sketch mind thinks


Here with calm pact
Watch feel grow tact


Act upon zest
To bloom new fest


Poise is a choice
In fragrant voice


Seek to do good
With change of mood

Be mindful then
As touch meets when


See that you see
What binds fancy


Unease turns round
To fit odd grounds


Peace is the touch
That means so much


Grow with the flow
As cheer now shows


Dare to just be
A soul set free


When fear draws near
Be without fear


Dare take a chance
To dance your dance


Change is certain
Till end curtain


Live well your lot
Act upon thought

Bricks of lavender
a palindrome of gentleness
across the unburdened lea
Autumn softly blowing down
from cirrus magnets drawn
to cosmic ore
Saddled to the conscience of 
the heartland, a secret fells
what few aged oaks remain
No history holds words to make
reprieve for so sinister an act upon
the blooms and seeds
Haste arranges memory so as to
germinate, replacing the departed
'fore ever whispering lavender stems
relate the reins of fate upon the plains...

Hate all you want…
Live in a storm your soul brews
Burn your country flag
Curse your fellow Patriots
Infiltrate peaceful gatherings
Spread lies and stomp on values
Act upon evil, curse as if you do no wrong
Ignore the good things that were done for you
Go on hating, hating and hating
But, I tell you this:
The person you will destroy, is yourself
The place you will end up being will be worse,
Than you ever perceived the person or place, you hated!
