milky sky
shadows of blue
melding in and out

poured onto a glass ceiling
oozing into flowing sky rivers
gentle transmogrifications

her lazy moves
encourage me
to sleep...

Life is Built
       
        Open Terrace is made of Love and Dream.
        Destiny is the Glass- Ceiling.
        Emotion and Passion have done painting 
        Frustration is the door to escape.

I am selling my sole for material wishes

I see him but can’t get there

I know he’s there but don’t understand why

Like a glass ceiling to heaven

I try but not hard enough 

One day he will fulfill my life and help me cope...

Thoughts we can't retract,
Exquisite solar towers
of our mindful powers,
Into the glass ceiling,
Collectives of ideas and feelings,
Whence these expressions of abstract?
Thoughts we can't retract.........

Knocked down a pervasive glass ceiling 
And left the racist bigots reeling,  
Meteoric rise to Vice-Presidency 
And the praise for her ascendency 
Lets little girls know the sky is the limit 
And, in America, that is the prevailing spirit....

when prejudice had nowhere to hide-
Riding a mustang in the sky
His deeds gave bigotry the lie,
sterotyping his,to defy.

died this past week...

I can't cope with copacetic,
A life of compromise seems to me pathetic,
Without completing dreams, I can't gauge my worth,
So with arms raised high, Eyes shut, I fly out to mirth,
I find myself flattened quickly against a glass ceiling,
Now a budding career in retail seems appealing....

Retirement offers things new
I'm shouting a hip-hip yahoo
If what you’re feeling
Comes from a glass ceiling
Stop squealing and just say I'm through!

Retirement offers a lift
With no bad-ass boss who gets miffed
Since freedom will ring
The songs that I’ll sing
Sound more like those by Taylor Swift

They say dream big and have lofty dreams 
The inspirational gurus that is 
Well, some people in America think it is a caste system
And some people believe in the American dream 
Either way I think you have to work your butt off 
I am a dreamer, a day dreamer 
And a hard worker
Clawing my way to the top 
In order to break through the glass ceiling...

WOMEN OF AUTHORITY
Women of the world may
lead,teach and oversee.
Deborah a leader upon God’s
call and Miriam & Esther ,
females to name but three.
In later times these four 
as well,Anna,Phoebe,Priscilla
& Junia and many more;
freed by Jesus’ law.In Him
we see neither Greek nor Gentile
male or female or the unfree.

Inspired by Gal 2:28 and Gen 2:18...
