Sitting inside 

Growing silently,

Now roaring and gearing....

Night falls and morning calls 
Puppets gearing for a play 
By the sway of their master's fingers
For how would you expect a puppet to sleep and think?

Any boy could do everlasting friendships
Gearing higher is just key 
learning more not only prospering
Quite responsibly searching
Touching. Understanding. 
     Vainly Wanting.   
     Xenobiotic. Zen....

Face Problem Painting Face

problem painting face
finger on I cannot place
(name of person hard to place)
will have to erase
(then removed each trace)
(myself had to brace)
(must remove with MACE)

for God up gearing
He is always worth hearing
my twilight nearing...

I sat in my tattered lawn chair, dirty, drenched in sweat...
My hand slipped off my old gun,
as I played Russian roulette...
She walked up to me with disgust in her eyes...
She was gearing up to say goodbye...
So she flew away into the humid sky;
into the wretched hell that is July......

Shh! Grandma cautioned her parents. She is in dream child mode.
The paisleys and oranges and polka dots are gearing up her dendrites.
Driving her REM to the world of magic, you need to let her be.
She’s an astral traveler, her Daddy said to Grandma. Nothing will wake her up.
Her dendrites were a rocket ship, blasting toward mystical imagination....

Mime moments mild
Work whole words wild
Cheer charming child


Prize piquant play
Smooth succinct say
Dream deeper day


Wise wonder wakes
Touch thrilling take
Meek movement makes


Big blossoms bloom
Rest ruptures room
Grace gearing groom


Vivid voice veers
Lift lustre here
Sanguine sage steers

My whirligigs are whirling
Since the wind has come to call
And my windsocks’ arms are twirling
Like they’re gearing for a brawl.

The temperature is dropping 
Back to wintertime degrees
And the gusts will not be stopping
‘Til we all begin to freeze.

Mother Nature is enjoying
Making mischief these days; hence,
‘Tween the seasons we’ll be buoying
As she laughs at our expense....

In increments, reflection's waif
some sedentary lifting of restraint
is sameness from a will of dullness' taint
and compromised by feeling, urging's faint.

While courage in resistance pools intent
to greatness in truth's beauty, not event.
And gearing for concern, comes slow but meant
as when discernment's Grail is God's extent.

With thee, this cup of life, man calls content
is empty ~ less thy nearness fills this vent!...

God

grants me

graciously

goodness’* blessings

gearing me to serve…

guarded from faithlessness.

Greatly governing my heart

God’s love grips me eternally

girding up my assured salvation…

glowing gloriously with my gratefulness!

*Psalm 107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Another democracy 
where the people get to speak 
has just had an election 
A bitter, bruising battle 
with accusations of 
corruption and cowardice 
have filled the air 
I live in the good old USA 
Where we are also 
gearing up for a bruising battle 
Democracy is messy 
but it is better than totalitarianism 
Who are you supporting - friends out there in the darkness?
Who do you want to win in Israel ??
It matters
Yes, it matters!...

"We are the gorgeous artistic soul mates
trying to meet the heaven together:
By clutching and clinging on tightly,
Merged in each other's emotions
and feelings greatly,
Gearing toward attaining same
destination profoundly,
Doing purposeful interaction daily,
Boosting the heart beats and 
hormone's skillfully..
to welcome the upcoming obstacles 
in our future bravely."

That old familiar rumble once again has begun
Weekend pulling closer no matter how hard I push
Breathe in… breathe out; stomach burns like the sun
Mom and Dad gearing up for one more bruising run

Trusted closet stands ready for my weekend escape
Ears filled with cotton only muffle the hate
My spirit impaled on the thorns of their pain
Breathe in… breathe out; it’s Thursday again 

Based loosely and somewhat darkly on the Figurative Artiste Stephanie Deshpande  painting "waiting"...

My relatives in Florida
Are gearing for a fight.
A hurricane is on its way,
Expected by tonight.

The schools and airports have been shut;
The food store shelves are bare.
Anxiety is on the news
And in the very air.

This storm is known as Matthew,
Category 4 at least.
Soon both Florida and Georgia
Will be fodder for this beast.

There’s a lot of hype ‘round hurricanes
So fingers have been crossed
Hoping that en route, this monster storm
Might somehow just get lost....

Our foxy former president
who rallied the rioters and
then safely went,
is hoping that we all forget,
the January 6th Capitol attack
and the good judgement that he lacked,
and how he didn't have poor Mike Pense's back.
Trump was the president, our supreme boss but
still takes no responsibility for those lives now lost.
He's gearing up for 2024, with his big pac monies
and hopes to score, holding rallies and stirring up his core,
with his same divisive message again once more.....

My whirligig requires wind
So when the day is calm,
It sits there quite forlornly
Like it's lacking in aplomb.

But when the gusts are squalling
And the trees are pirouetting,
My whirligig starts spinning
And, oh, what a show I'm getting!

It has concentric circles
So it twirls in two directions.
The faster that it goes, the more
It gains in my affections.

Today the wind's cavorting
As I watch in pure delight 
While my whirligig goes whirling 
Like it's gearing up for flight....
