Short Broadening Poems

A liberal
Is moderately progressive
Believes in giving generously
Broadening the mind in a general way.
A liberal is not too strict and not too literal
Is tolerant and open-minded
Favors good reforms
Loves Liberty....

Early morning 
up before the sun. 
I sit in my recliner 
in my high rise 
apartment. 
Watching the day 
begin. 
Traffic buzzing. 
Sky line slowly 
broadening. 
Chasing away 
the cold, 
dark night. 
Relaxed enjoying 
my waking moments, 
time dictates no more 
lounging about. 
Time is fleeting....

We place a lot of pressure squarely on our shoulders 
Raising the bar on repeat feels like carrying boulders 

Stakes set stubbornly high but can lower to find a clue 
By broadening out our view to see the strain is undue

Realize the rigor we apply isn't required in every situation
Unwinding tension that was a figment of our imagination...

The flower blooming in the sky
Its the flower of hope

It carries raindrops and mildew of rhymes
In its ever broadening scope

The flower blooming in the sky
Its the flower of hope

It blooms into wonderful times
Just like a vision that a floats

The flower blooming in the sky
Its the flower of hope

It seldom withers into the night
But today is undoubtably mine!...

What person am I
now?
What season's song
do I sing?
The current moves us
as we steer and
sway, running
towards collapsing
bridges.
The hero starts to
see himself as a
savage, 
While gardens of no
pre-meditated
thought            
      
Pop up everywhere. 
   
I am lost.       
Writing has become
the invisible beast
as I circle for my
tail in search 
Of the nectar....

Glimpsing holograms,

endlessly morphing ideas,

scenarios exploding infinite dimensions,

looping, shifting,forming corridors,

ellusive directions,

flying flaming pathways,

fractured frenzy,

broadening reality,

exposing spiraling horizons,

surging,

burning,

burning down,

burning down the mind,

to find


the white hot core....

of..............ART....

Monsters may not want blood,
and they may not have claws,
nor the mandible, drooping—
the smiling jaws;
without scales or hair,
even growling, I dare
say that monsters may lurk
deep inside you.

Still, without teeth
they may gnaw at your soul;
without mouths, they may take you
and swallow you whole,
or leave you in tact
save a broadening hole
that pulls you inside
and reminds you....

What if you were the only one that believed in something;
And the world as mad gunk has you sliding into unintended traverses.
You find love before it has begun!
This solarized released, this rippling and broadening gulf...
The wings of cautious believers rise only slowly...
Tomorrow is another day,
Yes, though you have discovered
Tomorrow as today,
In the rich infinitum 
Of love's fresh boast....

When did the white start to streak
	the long red tresses that
		fall over my shoulder?

When did my reflection begin
	to show a confident woman’s gaze
		instead of shy little blue eyes?

When did maturity begin
	to sink into the laugh lines
		of this broadening smile?

And when did the wisdom begin
	to creep into these deepening crows feet
and start staring back at me
	with my mother’s eyes?...

Memory of the Aged

  Blurring mist creating a transcendent skull,
  Gradually dissipating into thin air by glimmer of the sun,
  Aged plucked toothed corn-row
  Of horny gum smile, broadening,
  Grim lips fall flat,
  To blab like ignorant spoil infants,
  Greetings dug up and hung in the shoulder of space,
  Ensnared walking sticks tucked near ancient monument
  armchairs,
  While ghosts apparitions lounge in breezy atmosphere....

It doesn't matter who you are,
You can be a shining star,
Just believe in your dreams
And you can go far,
Broadening your horizon
May not be easy to do,
But you're no conquering a mountain
Just the fears within you,
Never stop dreaming in what you believe in,
Never stop believing in what you feel in your heart,
Don't let your peers heighten your fears,
Always believe in what you are able to do,
No matter where life's road may lead you
Never say never until you try....

lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 calming waters 
 ripple round toes

 with each stride
 footmarks fade
 behind
 as I wade

 shoreline spreads endlessly
 birds babble perky chants
 breeze beckons peaceful trance

 oh the ocean's song's
 so serene...
 lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 each step closer
 to inner sanctuary
 abiding light
 broadening soul's sight

 sovereign autonomy
 splashes on pages
 of my life

 enraptures me
 capturing holy harmony
 within...

 at last...

Inspirational thoughts and fantastic ideas must simply go down to the heart.
Without a beginning, there is no end and that is where everything had its start.
Thinking with the mind brings judgment, anger, sometimes hatred, and often revenge.
Thinking with the heart brings forgiveness, acceptance, and understanding that never ends.
With the dominion of the media, there the truth shall finally come to light.
Broadening awareness will expand the recollection of conscious expansion....
