Words come to a point
  like the tip of a spear

Embedding the truth
  —impaling your fear

rain dropping tears ripple sound effects
embedding silhouette scene
with miraging memories
that linger vibrations into the footprinting soles           
and echoing presences shared between
our beloveth ones left behind………...

self imposed prison captivates a song bird
stumbling over insecure formation of the wrong word
stabalizing foundation atop false ground
deception dressed to impress in a tall gown
quietly with humming embedding a soft sound
fooling with the friendly touch of a small town

I hate this feeling
Keeps me down
Keep my mind dangling in world of confusion
I want to cry everything out
But every cell in me 
Against the motion
As Various kind of feelings
Rush through the blood stream
And the gloomy dark memories
Embedding my vision
Everything seems
Blurry clear 
A smile as a force to stop the tears
The happy sad time 
I live in 
Calm madness the behavior I portray....

Earth wears a mantle of green, 
Having shed her robe of white, 
Embedding bright new colours, 
Spreading her multihued sheen;
Baby fauna jump about, 
Dew makes everything look clean,
Little birdies chirp and tweet,
What a fresh resplendent scene!
Look at that magical sight ~
Bright new colours embedding, 
Spring is now the reigning queen!

accurately felt and thought experiences,
realistic and unrealistic,
natural and spiritual,
but share this internal experience
embedding and thereby challenging
writers' readers in shared language of communion....
