for what it is
The illusion orphaned
—death to begin

I think that I shall take a chance
Carefully looking among plants
Make a pet of thee
Eight foot two or three
Adopting my own ferdelance...

Destiny rises to claim the night
  and orphans out the day

Adopting the silence within our fright
  —renamed in what we say

Have you built
a cathedral
with language
unblessed

Adopting an 
Angel
your spirit 
redressed

Have you
filtered the 
verbiage
with water Divine

The Savior
within
you
— still waiting to find

(The New Room: September, 2024)

Father 
Handy, helpful
Adopting, protecting, sheltering
Savior, superhero; Naturalness, divine
Cherishing, concerning, directing
Reliable, kind
Mother

My mother-in-law
Can I resist adopting
You are truly loved.

And sister-in-law
Materially you have all
Money levels high.

Everything they have
Deny them you are loser
Pray or you get ire!

Play with them well, Dear
Eventually you get praised
Dare as you end dead!

As the saying goes:
     every child deserves a parent
     but not every parent deserves a child.
Everyone deserves to be treated
     the same way even if they're black
     colors don't matter, the heart does.
If you gonna bring someone
     into your household you treat him
     the same way you treated your kids....

I
Love
All dogs
But partial                                        
To retired greyhounds
Often mistreated when racing
Many are never able to get saved or rescued
Please consider adopting one of the many retired racers, you won't regret it

Whoever succeeds in adopting a positive attitude towards old age, 

The passing of years, would not appear an earthly burden on him, 

But, heavenly bliss.

Hearts of gold melting
Hearts of gold flowing 
The hearts of angels on this earth: 
The adopting parent, the committed missionary, the soldier in the war, the warrior of the forgotten children of the world, the teacher of life, the animal rescuer,....
How hot was it...
How hot is hot, the heroes in this world
How hot is too hot, for the caring hands that touch many

I have left two uncles I hardly ever see them.' I had a lot

Good advice.? And sometimes not.' Maybe I thought who
Needs them? But i could choose to listen or ignore? I was
Back then not that seasoned.' So uncles can be usefull.?
I now think.? If i might need to use one.? Just to listen now
Mind.!! Be under no illusions.' For this year at least i am
Adopting Vladimir Putin.'...

called upon to pray
to a holy book
a scripture
an idol
a belief system

we paused
then saw no harm
in adopting any stance
be it in a narrow groove
or in the vast void

because our soul is free

Jesus is good
so is Buddha
as also Shiva
and all sages
our parents and elders

negating none we accept all
because our soul is free
as both the noumena 
in and as singularity 
and all phenomena 
in reflected duality

peace peace peace...

The newest addition to my family
My bro-in-law christened him Milo
Another named him Jimmy
He’s more like a Chuckie
to me—driving me loco
The greenest eyes
He’s pretty lucky
He loves pink salmon 
and playing catch
with crumpled paper I toss,
the unwanted poems I scratch
Biggie (aka) needs weight loss
I tumbled as I stepped over him,
A simple little thing
By eliminating gravy ‘til he gets slim
Pet adopting
It’s what the New Year will bring

I am not a loner as they claim,
But I have been bent
To fit the shape of pain.
I have been dressed up
To suit the occasion of depression.
I have been tamed,
To live like an introvert,or a loner.

I am really not a loner
But I am adopting the style
Of living like one.
Like I existed in the world all by myself.
This is the nourishment
That betrayal has brought me.
It is the life I have bought
With my commitment and kindness.
But I am really not a loner....
