Perfecting expression
Reflecting inner whisper
Unification of soul.

Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience as modus operandi
The British, oh so superior
Ended up on their right royal posterior!

If I      (Tryodine) form of poetry by Yancy Dalton

If I were a fly I could fly
If I were a bee I could be
If I were a person I would be me

Developing Negatives

When life appears gloomy
Patiently wait for the picture
Unfolding in the dark room

Amidst the developing medium
The negative transforms to ...
A gift of indescribable beauty.

Twixt sky and Sea
Field, valley and tree
Whether tethered or free
Whatever sight we see
 
Never a glimpse we glean
Of what is and has been
Vast unknown & unseen
The space in between

Her abode
Clothed with
Shades of purple
Rustic accents
Books & fairies
Steering
Reflecting
Her souls dance
Lilac so
Her happy hue
Singing to
Her being
Embraced
In violets
&  lilac lace

Magnificent Rainbow Tree


Your limb are on fire
Spirit burning bright
Igniting my desire
Setting me alight

Thank you for the vision
Your reflection burns in me
Mirroring my soul with precision
Magnificent rainbow me.

No longer dreaming
Just proceeding
Without cheating
I am achieving
More than I ever was believing
Every single evening

Now my impressions are leaving
Even more meaning
To other human beings
While I am still breathing

Airs and Graces
On their faces
A gaze down the nose
Other silly shows

Illusions of grandeur
A grand amour
Of self deception
False Perception

Take a better look
We are the open book
Their airs and graces
Reflected on our faces.

Peace is the presence here
Our deepest longing and fear
So noisy thoughts and shouldfulness
Yield a cover of forgetfulness
When we forget the striving
The cunning and conniving
Release judgment and resent
Then peace is our present.

He rode a twisted trail, 
He lied a tortured, fact-faked tale
Of Jesse James and unexpected shames
Of Quantrill’s carnage, powder-smoke and flames. 

 He wasn’t who he said—
He wasn’t Jesse James, long dead
But something gaudier and grander yet 
Imposter-champion none can forget....

Diana
Creative, curios, playful & loving
Sister of a brother who is not here
Lover of Life,Photography, Hubby and more
Who experiences love, longing, excitement, 
Who dislikes High fructose corn syrup
Love to see, England again, the Sea & Australia (with hubby)
Resides in Grand Junction,Colorado

Everybody owns an office,
Though not already swiveling its chair;
Everybody, custodian of some promise,
To think differently, simply unfair.

The yet-to -be jangling -the keys to -it
Isn't to be dismissed as unfit
Between Mr. Dalton and Lady Eunice,
All repositories of some gift
Before their last breaths have it surface
If not stupendously, more than a bit....

Right or Wrong?

If I were right?
Yet you felt Wrong
Would it mean you didn't belong?

Could I ever be right?
If I judged you wrong?
Would it mean I didn't belong?

Did God make me right?
Or did He make you wrong?
If so where would God belong?

If I were an expressions of light?
You a magnificent expressions of night?
Where would that illusive wrong or right belong?

I'd like to raise a toast

Life ain't a joke
Been trying to stay afloat
And make the most
While I see another night and day approach
Near and far from any trains and boats
Not one to rely on faith or hope
Opportunities you either take or don't
Time you never want to waste or loaf


Straight from the heart
Is how I paint my art

But now I raise the bar
As I star gaze from afar

Blood runs red in every race
War bring tears to every creed
Hunger felt by every being
Love desired by every heart
 
Green envy or generosity
Vengeful snares and forgiving
Nightmares give desires to dream
Dancing twixt joy & despair
 
Colorful array of emotions
So much in common
Do you see me in you
Your reflection in me?
 
We are  rainbow children 
Painting the canvas of life
Compassion sees the art
In the unique dance of us

Escape the Matrix
              Or
Escape from madness (Lesson23)  
 
 
Attack on freedom
Attack on war
Attack on cancer
Attack all we deplore
 
Attack the attacker
As long as you don't see
The attacker is hiding
Camouflaged in you and me
 
Attack thoughts 
Leads to effects we see
Cascading thoughts
Determine destiny
  
God will heal our guilt
God will heal our pain
Forgive us all
We are just insane
