Excerpts From the Edge

negative noise
   weighted chest
       arms extended
overhead
waiting for a
   falling breeze
to
   carry me over

Flight from the cities
excerpts from my hearts of hope
my best memories
keeper of the forever flame
before the ancient Green mile

Excerpts From Conversations Overheard

Deep down I think you know -
This is where I draw the line -
So I won’t be long I promise -
But feel free to chop or change -
Something, anything about this -
But are you sure you’re ready?

Premium Member Mother said ---

what she said could be seen as hyperbole
not to come running on broken leg problem
but her wisdom portioned into golden prompts
saving for a rainy day comes up empty
the free market could benefit by her depth
she’s open-handed and supports socialism
however her intentions were never false
like threats of waiting for return of husband
witticism unsurpassed by comic excerpts
Mother is an apotheotic angel

Listen to poem:
Bureaucracy of Heaven
David J Walker

Lightfall dreams spill 
Illuminating waters on
Everything except
Excerpts of canvas lakes
	For which it is meant 

While bipartisan saints 
spill lyrics on 
Every letter mailed  
from every failed attempt 

of Redactions 
From the prayers 
of the faithful 
		prayer sayers  
For which 
each candle is lit 

God
	Cannot do His job
Without the bureaucracy of heaven

Premium Member Excerpts From the Compilation Prayer, 10, Own Truth

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 
Number 10 - Own Truth

I wish that each of us can find, practice and live 
their Own Truth
And that by doing so, 
Are able to sense and know 
What feels individually and personally, right 
And what is simply not ok, unjust and wrong.
And that by doing so,
Make space and have complete respect
For the beautifully mysterious differences
And truths of others.

The Burt Reynolds

Time’s never obliged ~
Heedless, impetuous fame
Exacerbates traits…
But factitious facades fade
UV-rays on gelcoats, craze…

Retouch, unfinished ~
Tide oblivious, streams on
Rising and ebbing…
Eyes old smile recognition
Young ones urge explanation…

Names so soon obscure ~
Ocean sinking impetus
Leaves afloat, excerpts…
Darn! That cannonball race zipped!
Speedy generations flash…

Shining Mirage

I walked step by step
going to pick a flower
I steps on garden floor
to spend inevitable time
with you.

I followed a path
to track the way
a twinkling light
becomes what we are today
a piece of the story
excerpts from a shining mirage.


When time runs so fast
it doesn’t ends everywhere
I am with you to celebrate
with an expected moment
who will stays with our side
is nothing  unexpected.

Today is your day
I wish you happy birthday!

We are a group of seniors above 80 years of age. Recently, many of us departed because of old age problems. Here are some of the excerpts from Bhqagwat Gita, Lord Krishna's sermon on mortality.

"The soul is neither born nor does it die;
Having come into being once, it never ceases to be,
It is unborn, eternal, permanent and primeval".

"As a man discarding worn-out clothes takes other new ones;
likewise the embodied soul, Casting off worn-out bodies,
enters into others, Which are new".
