anomaly 
not easily 
classified 
into black or 
white terms
within a 
neat little box  
tied up with a 
ribbon of
commonality...

not everything 
in this life 
can be tied 
into a 
neat little 
ribbon of 
commonality 
there are many 
levels of gray 
within this journey
called life...

Common Mistake … Common Courtesy
Common Sense … Commonality
Common Grave – Dug … or Common Ground – Hug
Uncommon Valor takes Uncommon Power
So.. Com’ On Love … Com’ On...

Flower
Beautiful scented
growing, flowing flowering
Commonality grown out of dirt
parting spreading fast
diseased expulsion
Weeds

Once again my thoughts run wild
Against the currents of commonality
Free and unfettered like a child
Ranging from bizarre to banality
Trying my best to cling to normality.

A-n attempt to classify people, 
N-ot according to nationality; 
A-ll about the ancestry instead, where there is commonality. 

E-arly morn February fifth, 
L-anguage is similar within; 
I-nherited status based on society 
C-omes from ethnic 
O-rigin....

Listen to poem:

The Black Monolith
David J Walker

Its not just another days 
Insanity 
	Predictable 
Excusable 
	Lost reality

A commonality 
Of precious time tossed

The clocks chime 
Is just another number
Once lost

Twice added 
to the darque vapor
Of the past...

we have so much in common,
from the air we breathe,
to the food we eat,
we have so much in common,
when we stand too long,
we must take a seat,
we have so much in common,
when we hunger,
we can consume all the food on the plate,
we have so much in common,
it makes no sense,
that there could be such a thing as hate....

there's commonality with a pencil line
 it could be anything
    just as the sea could swallow me up
 the pencil could place me back in the scene
          I'm the tiny fragments on the mist
    that settle into a form
trying then to fathom what it is to exist at all
              wash me away, to ebb and flow
     always to end up
back here
    the arch, back...

When one is lonely and shy
and the whole world is passing by,
play this little game although quite tame,
key in your name in the anagram frame,
take flight from commonality
to change one’s personality
you may find it gives one a boost
a character from a novel by Proust,
aid one to participate, in a wee dram
become a sophisticated, Rash Horny Ram!

Follow Jesus!
Written: by Tom Wright
1/18/2018

Just as no two snowflakes are identical,
Mankind too is not all the same,
But each has a choice in the path we travel. 
		When we live a life of service to others,
Jesus smiles;

Our commonality is that death is a given,
And all hearts won’t ripen the same.
Each day becomes a thawing snowflake,
Here briefly, and then gone forever.

Comets taking a self guided tour
So many to drink in without a slur
Mystical and genuine, both are a plenty
Antares is a fundamental of my entity
The only commonality is their drawings among the stars
As Tellurians, we claim many of them are among ours
Signs are clearly visible in the clear night sky airs
Are six and two totally opposite sets of pairs?
Perhaps all are well read bibliomaniacs
That pledge allegience to the zodiacs...

I desire to live, love and be the me I see when
glancing through the grace colored eyes of Thee.
I endeavor to be present... to be the Love I long for
when peering through the fear shaded eyes of We.
Love and Grace can only exist in me as I give them away.
This is a gentle truth possessed by all who are truly free.
I choose to live, love and be in communion with the splinters of We
with wide-eyed pursuit of our timeless commonality....

In my heart
and in the heart of all men
is a commonality,

a shared Eden

(and shared disconnect
living outside the relationship)

But, clearly, the fall
was never up nor down,
as love
is always a falling into
and never away from…

Answers?

I have learned best
to keep silent

for lies can be deadly
at the least
a long parting,
and the way back
less truth
and more endurance,

Now, knowing
and yet painfully
separated…....

Cannot find it anywhere, that I look,
One has it when they are born to know.
Many think they have it, from a book.
Many feel, they have it, with such glow.
Only thing that can be lost and never found,
Never to be returned, thoughts are bound.

Sense of commonality, can rule the world.
Examples surround us every day, unfurled.
Now that you think, you have not lost it.
Send this to a friend, who has not one bit.
Each day, it is gone, true revelations sit....

Missles flying in the sky, as drought and plight reside
Hungry, homeless, love lost souls, beckoning the writhe
Terror rises, HAARP sounds off, money, lawyers, greed
Man shames death as wars are fought, with unending, dying, pleas

Yet peace is kept by mighty hand with commonality
Feeding those against our foes most unholy diety
Time heals wounds gained in jest beginning, living, and confessions relieved

A life becomes fictionalized,
movies and TV shows plagiarize our truth.

A tree fell in the forest,
that particular forest was crowded,
yet its fall went unnoticed;
we were all looking away,
were plugged into some other reality.

Tribal people know how to relate
to their ongoing stories,
to their growing roots.
A tribe is not a village
not an ancestral tree,
it’s a commonality with a few trivial things
that mean much.

Together we overhear
what we hold dear....

Listen to poem:

A journey does not stand alone
by a step or many miles
seeking goals with a twist
surprising those who quest an end

the mileage counted is a sham
for its worth in measurement
against the signs that infer
commonality between two men

the main path becomes a sham
as excursions are the rule
searching past the trampled path
still a journey of consequence

those small jaunt fulfill a need
to explore beyond the norm
at sunset the road will wait
with the journey to celebrate....

Carefully we planned for the big day 
Oblique qualms and doubts drove me away
Moody and thoughtless insensitivity
Maudlin thoughts curbed the festivity
Onerous thoughts like small transmitters
Now revealed my flutters and flitters
Ashamed, you admitted you had the jitters
Laughingly we both had learned
Intimacy shared is intimacy earned
Treasuring our love, our life unknown
You and I, together we’ve grown....
