When I find myself beginning to write
on a topic that is just too erudite,
I quickly throw in the towel,
with an unfeigned avowal
that frankly, I'm just not that bright.

how failures
translated poorly from
monumental intentions

how an uneasy kid

At my pious avowal, my seed was sown.
A new vision, my liege Lord's race is known.
Century said he'd lived earlier to lead
Believers on how to water the seed;
and gather more fruits for the barn he build.
Some will fall on thorns or stones; better a field
To receive a hundred fold increase, lest
I'm bereft of my bounty soul harvest....

“NOTHING I KNOW!”

From this solid statement 
and surrendering avowal 
gets birth inquisitive mind.

Through the positive curiosity 
and inquisitive asking 
gets birth knowledge.

Positive knowledge makes peaceful mind
and an equal love for everyone and everything
and this love makes known to the path of  GOD
Because GOD created this universe in LOVE

Lost my equilibrium amidst
 an utterly ethereal seduction,
ascending  glinted stratospheres 
'tween reciprocally magnetic forces,
beyond constellations' obscure vapors,
whilst breathlessly infatuated moons
softly whispered destinies' avowal to
surrender otherworldly ventured sighs...
 
I want to be the impetus
furthermost your gravity...
