Entering relaxed and delicate 
The surgeon adjusts the tiny strands
Taking care to strike completely the offending fiber
Like a medical ninja...

Epistemic Humility,
the world adjusts its crown

Reality filtered through the lens
of who looks, when, and how

A bold warrior goddess
Aided Odysseus
As he murdered Trojans
Adjusts Medusa to
A scary Gorgon, FREEZE
Aptly spins perfect web 
Arachne can’t surpass.

Falls
off the branch
twisting in midair;
end of a season of life.
Down,
down,
adjusts and sticks the landing;
still eight more to go.
Nonchalant,
leaves.

So it is :
          life doesn't always move
          in straight lines...
          equal to the world runs
          almost always in zig-zags.
          crooked lines... but
         unlike us, always rightly...!...

Solitude inculcates not just silence
Adjusts your mind, serenades your heart
Most definately redefines serenity,sanity
Unknown to my senses it calms and placates
Void of attention, content within
Storms too shall pass
Completely 
solitary...

Elderly Person
in Pew 13 adjusts 
her Position
to allow me to Pass.
She's too Poorly
to Perform 
the rudimentary Path
to the waiting Priest 
with the Host 
in his hand.

She appears
impervious, lost
in Passivity,
Palms against
ears, Pressing out 
the Passionate
Preaching 
the poor dear
doesn't care
to hear....

What does Grass do
  When winter comes to town
Does it shiver its timbers
  Does it freeze underground

Why no! Grass is first-class
  How else could it last
Through snowfalls so deep
  No sunlight dare seep...

Grass dons fancy jacket and hat
  Wad of bills and all that
Bows to winter's autocrat ~
  Who adjusts the thermostat...

A brisk wind rattles thin branches.
A small bird adjusts its stance
feathers ruffle just enough for stability.
it gives no attention to 
this balancing act.
The bird is a wind-sailor, it has sea-legs
though it has never seen 
the wind or the sea.
Nevertheless,
it thoughtlessly has adjusted the focus
of the universe once more....

Nazirites were called
at zaria calls den.
Old and youngs:
Any so odd lung.
To adjusts
just toads.
They are fruits of consecration,
Put aside by seperation.
To peeped into the sacred things,
And be made over Angelics kings.

Nazirites pays their bills,
Bills that're to some meals.

What to other is good,
May be to you rude.

Between the chimes………..…… of twelve and two
Darkness adjusts…………………..… the doors of dreams;
I perceive a presence …………..….…. pausing, perhaps,
as one who watches……………..……..... within.
Something beside, sly, ………………..…... speaks cruelly, 
whispers words which wound………….......condemn.
Catch me Jesus.........I am near the edge…….. falling… 
to your stronger arms beneath.

Pride: Strong, fearless, brave….
Love: weak, open, vulnerable….
Pride alters people’s actions
Love just adjusts to it

Pride can be obstruct
But also a sign of bravery
Love can be torcher
But also feelings of pure happiness

Pride can destroy the perception of love
But never will be able to actually kill the true feeling
I’d rather give and receive love
Because unlike pride it can be shared...

Some adjust to the plow,
they learn to shape their lives
around what they push through.

Assembling plastic throwaway things
blind hands adjust.
The Buddha breaks rocks
in a quarry, adjusts his mind to emptiness.
Jesus
paints roads signs. Teaches the law
of infinite directions.

Most harness themselves
to the unseen work within the work,
do what we must do to break away
from a hitched-up life....

Spring blasts in on a winter swan’s golden wing
Bringing all the new grass a season can bring
Winter feels shoved out, and runs quickly away
Spring has come in too heartily, what can I say?

But maybe she does not know better, Autumn argues.
She is the peacekeeper with leaves of a variety of hues.
Spring overheard and decided to come in in a gentler way.
She was seen riding in on a slow bike just yesterday....

True love is like a vast, rolling sea.

Waves low or high, it calms or churns;

adjusts with ever-changing tides-

     forever balanced by deep commitment. 


Commitment is like a vast endless sky.
 
Days bright or gray, it shines or mists;

adjusts with ever-changing clime-

     forever balanced by true, lasting love.

Linked Verse ~

Spellbinding moon glow
Luster of radiance shines
Capturing shadows

Capturing shadows
Tree limbs vibration settles
As the wind blows through

As the wind blows through
Chimes jingle along the porch
Creating a tune

Creating a tune
Birdsong welcomes the morning
With tender crooning

With tender crooning
Harmony adjusts the air
Whistling fragrant bliss

I AM WELL

I am healthy, I am well

My body repairs naturally every cell

I am constantly aware, that I am feeling great

And will never ever contemplate, feeling any other way

My healing thoughts are here to stay

For what I think, Is so real, my body adjusts to how I feel

I feel fantastic every waking hour, I am so grateful for this power

Its mind over matter, this Is true

So always think of a healthy you!!...

Some things can’t be fixed
any other way says Bill
in his bedroom

on the third floor
hoping to get some sleep
after working the third shift.

He adjusts the scope on 
his hunting rifle, makes certain
the silencer’s on right  

glares out the window at 
a bull terrier barking all day,
a dog that has never worked

a day in its life, Bill says.
In another minute the terrier  
will never have to either

Wooden guardians part reluctantly,
Their threats feeble against my entry.
The gloom adjusts itself in the warm light from outside.

Cold steam billows
Where incense rose and inspired.
Wooden benches,
Unseated,
Apprehend the emptiness.

Old blessings echo off the walls and fall on to cracked tiles.
All around the cracked altar swirl spirits
Invoked in need.
The long empty table,
Unconsecrated,
Uncelebrated,
Unblessed,
Stands mostly
Unused....

River Line, meandering transparent ribbon of cold.
Whirling companion, confusingly refreshing white gold, 
The road adjusts itself to the water's strong will. It lives
Its wild and stubborn life, hardly able to be contained; 
Often it takes our lives, without its love we die, it gives.

He pulls himself to the frame,
And lets his instincts take control.
He then takes a few steps back,
And attacks the canvas from his soul.

He blends the colors smoothly,
With his fingers and the brush.
He’s unhurried as he paints;
He never gets in a rush.

He adjusts the frame gently,
And from his heart, he gropes.
He lets his genius take over with,
A collaboration of brushstrokes.
