Short Diversions Poems

Fleeting diversions
Cross the common of life.
Our chance comments often
Indelibly impress,as casual
Acquaintance fade into the void....

Elegance adorned in black; with red stilettos...
Standing amid diversions cobblestone square
She, aside gargoylias ancient flowing fountain....

Greet you love
Greet you life
Greet you great drive
Greet you great diversions
Frugal, gracious, fret free
Greet you treats
Dread free, give up free, grouch free
Know
Love

A Kea is a parrot found in New Zealand
Also called Wobbly Keas, pranksters of birdland
Clowns of the mountains
Known to thousands
Of natives and tourists for fun loving diversions ...

A sliver of light peaks onto my wall
Only to remind there is nothing here at all

Empty space to fill just with time
Days to finish, my infinite prime

Sweet diversions I cling to find
Until darkness falls and escapes into my mind...

Masters too fall, yet rise again
Realigning with source 
Ego diversions, to rest lain 
Without employing force

Stupor, cause of decline 
Thus head with heart align
Under the oneness sign

Recoil recall
Masters too fall

Perfection is an illusive pastime,
an unending quest that hides delusion
in uncharted diversions on life's path;
Distractions litter obsession's by-pass,
obstacles spring up unannounced,by chance,
opportunity deflates in despair;
Again,again the siren's call beckons
innocent naivety to regard-
mediocrity nervously breaks down....

Tempest fugit and all of that,
The blink of an eye, and life is gone;
Little things to do cause the days to pass;
Future is meditation, work is done.

The last learning curve to be at peace,
Making room for what once were diversions,
Reading, writing, TV, and pleasing food.
Accepting, accepting, each new pain

With God's Grace....

Listen to poem:

A wellspring deep within,
a vital force creative,
is quelled to dry spells
by diversions, doubts
and distractions.
Like a pump needs priming
to flow again,
a wellspring needs prompting
and dry-runs
to get it brimming again.
Keep drawing on your wellspring
every single day,
imbibing its nectar lovingly,
and it will never run dry....

I'm compelled to view some media, such as,
    FAUX NEWS, like an illusion they portrayed.
Since their deception is masterfully crafted,
    With multiple diversions . . . & truth is belayed.

As if by magic, they've given an audience,
    Tasty morsels of manna, to satisfy heartache.
While they coddle and cradle those of privilege,
    And true by definition, it's all FAKE!...

GREEN  HILLS.

Green hills
Against the blue skies
Etched like a monument
Beyond the laws of desire
Water colours to touch
Green in impassioned fire.

Vast deserts embraced in heart
Sun drenched sandy pleasant of touch
Subduing cosmic storms overhead
In some imagined human crutch.

Perhaps like time and space
Two diversions merging
 Reality incomprehended by logic
But a new life comes in conjunction....

Find your way
Find your world
Find your almighty GOD
Find your kingdom
Find your direction
Find your favorite deed
Find your love
Find your goodness
Find your dive
Find your opinion
Find your drive
Find your loving ways
Find your difference
Find your knowledge
Find your fun
Find your goals
Find your dare
Find your gifts
Find your fever
Find your diversions
Find your dialect
Find your doll
Find on you
In you
Love 
Lord...

BOAT   TRIP



It was a  short enough trip  - an hour’s
Travel with few diversions near
Which filled us with joy, or brought a tear:
Just different spots between showers.


Fellow passengers showed  kindness:
A stranger became a friend,
Kids fell asleep in the end,
Steersman kept a steady progress.


Finally,   coming into port,
It didn’t matter where we’d been
Or what we’d seen.
It was a fruitful trip of a pleasant sort....

Fundamental fissures open
endlessly
spilling rain deeply
where the heat is.
A blank white room
with a steady drip for 
a clock
is the one to avoid when the diversions
are used up.
Busy lives, busy lies
weave a door that seals 
illusions to my soul.
The backward glance
as from a precipice
over a void. entices not to fall
but to float. 
Does missing my father
cause the loneliness
or point out the 
singular journey....

It took a long time, but they finally grew up
Each...with individual diversions...Ha!
Five roads...five conclusions, (yet, but not)

“Children are a gift from God”, unwrapped at birth
Coercing us to change...not an option
I’ve become a doctor, judge, nutritionist, 
speech therapist, teacher, and chauffeur...
All without license

In the final analysis of ‘raising’ children
Could it possibly be said...
I’ve finally grown up?...

Over time I don't really, or ever, stop missing you,
or how you felt next to me.
Time and diversions only make it less intense,
until being close, hearing your voice,
that unique signature of sound,
that passes so effortlessly deep within,
making notes that find, and feel like they belong,
on my heartstrings.
Triggering the cycle yet again,
lying just below my consciousness,
waiting for activation,
powerful, part of my being, undeniable....
