invisible wings ripple

brook will not dwindle, 
it will flow as it flows now,
finds no rest on land....

deep in studio
cloaked in thoughts, escaping strands 
dwindle to paper...

A new day dawns,
The stars dwindle and fade.
The mantle of darkness recedes into the west.
The world awakens restored to it's Cathedra....

envy
brings discontent
tracts surface
lines are drawn
said,then
coloured red...
spread on the sand,then
slowly dwindle
on the incoming
tide of time...

--Dwindle-- 


Old Deal
new color
red light
"Green" plight 


--Change--


Wrong choice
 no right
dazed , twilight 


--Dwindle--

Seems Jacob, a biblical Mendel
Selected for spots, specks and brindle
Nuts, pop’lar with flocks
Produced stronger stocks
But Laban’s herds started to dwindle

(from Genesis 30)...

Life might be compared to a Nonet;

if words be deeds, how we flourish

in the first several lines!

But the lines, like time, start

to dwindle midway.

Last word; last line -

Too fast we

meet the

end....

Kamala Harris, with laughter bright
Echoes through the house of white
Yet critics murmur, where's the deed
In jest, they claim, she plants no seed
A hysterical hyena's chuckle fills the air
While dreams of action dwindle bare

Shadows dwindle on my walls
My heart races as i fall
A pit from below
A hole that can swallow

These are the elements of our fears
And there's no doubt there will be tears

Love,
Passion,
Dead and Stone
All bring us to humanity as we know...

Blackened potato
            rock-hard tomato
          Piece of stale bread
            filthy mattress, a bed

          All luxuries at Auschwitz 
            Bergen-Belsen and Dachau
          The question is not why they
            survived ~ but How...

Riddles litter the ground I sleep
Monsters dwell
They hide: they creep
Afraid to feel
To know what's real
How am I to know
When frozen in snow?
Stars they dwindle
They sparkle--they flicker
In time we'll render
And so surrender
The secrets of our December....

walking most of life
within brackets
a comma always in front of my steps
if in the right mood
an accent over my head
but those moments dwindle
nobody notices my question marks
or speech marks it seems
often then exclamation
fearing as we all do
the full stop

routines
     always
       stagnate
suffocate
    as they
        envelop
dreams
    in
       silent
         confections:
beauty
&dignity
     disappear
in
abstract
uniformity
     consumed
     by
     chance,
dwindle,
diminish
die
without
     purpose...

Parch of droughts,
relentless drowning floods.
Crops of the fields dwindle,
leonine storms roar stronger,
rising heating seas.

People and animals suffer,
as the globe warms.
A burning sun on high bakes,
migration of birds askew-
our mother earth pleads to
be renewed. ~...

I sat there in a day
I gazed there in a day
I anticipated the light of a day
In twinkle did glitter in a day
Though the sun be sunk anyway
In the depth of horizon away
As it was a live legacy
Of seasons in cycle dwindle sway
And the sun would in a way 
Perhaps rise again anyway....

Hey, Governor Jindal:
Do you want to kindle
A revolt
That will jolt
And make your votes dwindle?

What we now buy
Is already high.
Please "ax" us
To tax us
On what we buy!

Yes, give us our say
On what we should pay
And you will go down
In history renown
As Man of Our Day!...

 To Thy  Own Light, Scintillate Bright
 Never Let The Sacred Ember dwindle down to size,
 Soar Ever So High, Shine the Brightest Of Stars
 towards Great and Luminous Bonfire Hearts,
 Press Forth, Ever So- Hopeful in the Darkest Of Nights
 By Mastery, By Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Life...

are these days that pour of subway’s sweat,
 
   then emboss  night with a vault 

       of celibate, white stars? coffee and newspaper

     expire as the hours dwindle into clockwork ticks.

Optimism can be a blessing in disguise
If you’re not careful it can turn to arrogance 
If you are too careful it can dwindle to the smallest hope
Optimism has to have a balance or it can become dangerous 
It can create a whole new experience in your world
Or destroy your world in a split second....

 Play on the fiddle and on your toes twiddle
For life may pass in a twinkle, no time to dawdle
Before your powers dwindle, with joy, your life kindle
Be helpful and save good memories to fondle

Let the surge dwindle
Let it be complete.

In its tender touch,
Let the spike in your rose,
Not pierce me but wake me up.
Let the peck you give me 
be of love with no end...
Let the lane to the hill
Give me way to come back
Let the air I inhale
Find its way and Unite.

So that your whole being
may happen to me....

Old boys! 
Jut their youths' ideas 
Marvel at dark streets 
Surrounded by lark' sound 

Age of the sun 
Life of the earth 
Facts seem phoney 
All dwindle hardy hopes 

Tongues spoken 
Words split open 
Guns left free 
And harvest in vain 

Hearts desired 
Reality crooked 
For the way paved 
Broken justice reserved...
