Short Cautioning Poems

Creamy white cotton puffs
Cover baby blue skies
Creative floating art
Cautioning storms when black
Colorful rainbow gifts
Cumulus wet crystals
Create contrail designs...

Longitude, latitude lives
we strain in this existenance
Inner exuberance, outward compliance
can we exorcise all our ignorance?
redefine our pleasuredoms to
potent people preferentials, 
delivering stations of better times
avoiding being lost in aberrant moments
cautioning our latent pastules to levy.
Let us now recreate the mirror of
many measures, wherein the 
night begins and all love
resides from within....

Truth is like an open road;
No traveler is misled
By signals he must follow
To safely forge ahead,

Cautioning him to slow down,
Stop or move with care;
Not to recklessly proceed
At speeds of grave despair.

Well should he negotiate
Curves of disbelief,
Crooked bends and hazards
Of unrelenting grief.

Alll signals and all signs of 
Truth can never ever fail
When life is steered directly
Along its safety trail....

Securing your strengths  
Encased deep inside
Lift every veil
Found in yourself
Accept all the extra
Cautioning panic
Treat it with trust 
Understand the menu
Affirm the plea
Laugh off the dull
Invite the alumni 
Zero in on the glitz
Act out each stanza
Triple the hunt
Ignore the anti
Option the bravado
Never give up again

INERTIA

I seek nirvana sitting still
to prey upon a silent cloud 
without a color save for dun

its shapes that mingle as they will
likened to a comely face
awaiting color from the sun

where sounds are mute with just my sight
an aimless trek meanderng
an omen cautioning a sign

and darkness enters in the night
with just the gist of loitering
now Buddha’s smile is so benign

Schools, parades and lots of trips,
Cruises, flights and races;
Tennis matches and events
In other crowded places:

All are being canceled or
Postponed for times awaiting.
No one knows how soon is safe
When one’s recalculating.

Expos, luncheons, weddings, shows,
Surgeries elective
Crossed off calendars because
Of cautioning directive.

Life appears to be on hold
As virus germs go flitting
And cancellations mount while fear
Shows not a chance of quitting....
