in the realm 
of the mind,
replete with thoughts
inspiration thrives,
discerns over spills,
to reveal
then configure
and emerge:
a fragrance
to dwell,stay 
and perhaps
haunt another...

The crime
              doesn't pay off 
              mostly...
              But love
              not discerns 
              enough,
              instead
              loves exceeding... !...

mindful eye discerns and so learns
divine love heals, whilst desire burns
all is enabled, in timeless time
silent thunder within, Gods chime
stance erect, waiting for our turn

Dare sample
Love ample
Don't ramble


Live cheery
Love truly
Don't tell me


Poise discerns
Farms concerns
Don't force terms


Give freely
Gain truly
Don't spread lies

Maya veil that conceals our light
Our souls limitation
Presence yet discerns wrong from right
Choosing love vibration 

Granted on earth, free will
Each impulse we distil
Till bliss does overspill 

Holy grail
Maya veil

Soft words curl
Leapfrogs loud
Heavy lift


Soft sense knows
Discerns well
Poignant poise


Soft tell works
Grapples gist
Notice lures


Soft moods cast
Reveals more
Lavish zest


Soft moves plain
Subtle touch
Amply fond

The bliss flame burns, transforming us
God and we become one
Dark desires no longer nonplus
Our ego comes undone

Soma nectar’s dripping
Which we keep on sipping
Betwixt bliss beats gripping

Our soul discerns
The bliss flame burns

Only God Knows
By: Tom Wright

At conception,
 God knows whether our journey
 will be an extended vacation or an over nighter.

Likewise,
He alone, discerns the conditions
that is inherent to our chosen way,
and life’s circumstances that will bias its travel.

There is a night
so dark, yet so bright.
Only the blind sees through.

There is a song
so loud yet inaudible.
Only the ear-less discerns.

There is a food
so sweet yet so bitter.
Only the tongueless enjoys.

There is a path
so wide, yet so narrow.
Only the amputees treads

May the truth set you free!...

Sometimes,
Through concern for another,
And while grasping for words
To express that junctures feelings
Even effortless words appear hidden.

My thoughts,
And tears that flow always serve
To do the bidding of my heart;
For God discerns my heart
And tears are a dialect
That only He grasps.

Written for M. C. a wounded soldier friend....

I have pushed myself too hard
I have gone indeed too far
Beyond the average within which I am.
Who then shall cheer when the bird sings
That lets stray its wings too far afield
That no soul near hears the  melody
Or discerns the symphony
That otherwise would send amazing floods
Though these barren deserts of flesh and 
blood?...

In sleep
I awake dreaming.
Outside, the air is
heavy, still and close,
and he has roused himself
to speak.

A few, plaintive cries;
do kindred roost nearby?
He knows I’m here
because I listen,
yet he discerns in me
no purpose.

Might the woods
not be the same 
without me here?
I am deaf to his
ancestral songs,
and so he keeps his peace....

By sweat of lust inked,
animal instinct,
if be what drives us,
dark fears will nonplus.

Head-heart hand in glove,
weaved in threads of love,
discerns right from wrong,
taking all along.

When touch be gentle,
thoughts nonjudgmental,
our heart’s warm embrace
invokes divine grace.

Like the babbling brook 
The spirit yearns
Of quiet moments
The heart discerns

To deny the flesh
And feed thy soul
To hear the voice 
Still and small

Like flowering Love
A King Of Kings
Of Knowledge and Wisdom
If to believe

A gracious promise 
Set forth in love
In quiet moments
In Grace thereof

When Words Don’t Come
“Britches”

Sometimes,
Through concern for another,
And while grasping for words
To express that juncture’s feelings
Even effortless words appear hidden.

My thoughts,
And tears that flow always serve
To do the bidding of my heart;
For God discerns my heart
And tears are a dialect
That only He grasps.

Written: by Tom Wright

As leaf sounds fade under time's wet foot,
Likewise are the echoes of those long past.
Who lie as dry bones among the tranquil,
But a reminiscent view of a life once cast.


Only God discerns the why's of life
Also, the number of steps allotted each to get through it.

He lived his life, at no time, absent of zeal,
And never dug a pit so bottomless or wide;
That from a loving God he would dare conceal,
Because God discerns the  thoughts we hide.

When our sight fades we make wrong choices,
But each day we awaken to a brand new start.
His worth is not measured by other's voices,
But by the things God saw within his heart.

Mankind's finite days,
as minute grains of sand.
Methodically exit the hourglass,
That God possesses in hand.

Mankind fathoms not hours,
nor discerns time of day.
Nor perceives what God,
has chosen as parting way.

But when hourglass is empty,
and judgment day's at hand.
excuses then, will not subsist,
Nor will God grant more sand.

He was left behind
Years ago
He’s all alone now
And no-one remembers
A flippant thank you
From a hazy past
Wafts away in the wind
What is that he hears?
He strains his ears
And discerns in the distance
The sound of lively chatter
The clatter of self-absorbed applause
Youthful ambition speaks
And shares success stories
One of which is missing
The story we call forgotten...

Though quickstep I,
O'er the miry field.
Where thousands alike,
Have trod before.
There's one who discerns,
The tracks I yield.
And for each soul,
Those tracks that remain in store.

On 9-11 past, tracks ceased,
As many succumbed to eternal sleep.
Carnage, came as brimstone,
From early morning's falling sky.
Through wetted eye,
Man weighs the deep.
Incapable of comprehending,
The reason why?...

There's nothing about us,
That God doesn't know.
He knows where we've been,
And yet where we'll go. 

He discerns what we see,
And overhears us speak.
But give Him our heart,
And our life He will tweak.

While days are numbered,
And we're not in charge.
We can live our beliefs,
Living out our life large.

Always being cognizant,
Of each thing we do.
For when least expected,
Death will find you....

C-learly only God knows everything, 
H-ow, who, what, when, where, or why; 
A-lmighty Father is omniscient, watching from the wide blue sky.

P-owerful God knows everything, 
A-nd anything in the universe; 
S-eventeenth of May, 
C-reator discerns my acrostic verse.
A-llow the Lord to make a plan, 
S-o you can enjoy His blessing; 
I-n spite of many mysteries, 
O-nly God knows everything....
