Potters knead clay like a poet needs rhyme
trimmed to form, to be honored by fire
to much air weakens the clay
honing of the word is strength
with a heartfelt touch art garnishes time

Head and heart misaligned
Happiness is denied
Halting the flow of thought
Horrors spawned by mind die
Honing silence with bliss
Hunger for God’s touch grows
Heaven’s light dawns within

Whittling the point
paring it down
cutting the volume
honing the sound
Sharpening each line
words drop and fall
meaning to thunder
— lightning recalled

Quite soon I will start probing

Seatless, with your best last breath,
nakedly being blessed,
being surrounded by white walls
and a waltz-
this wake-up in the dark is a phase of your in-kin,
finding their next bike-spin,
pleasantly yet vaguely obeying the jim.

Honing the blade of life’s
greatest adventure
The edges were sharp
with the meaning inspired
It shaved like a razor
as days became short
The last cut the deepest
—left wounded and free

Tree trunk dulled the axe,
feller had to sharpen and wax,
apply strength twice as much,
to fell the tree as such,
all arduous deeds are about same,
you have to work hard,hard and hard,
honing,cutting and nibbling,
before they lead you to any fame.

The better Angels of our nature…
the Devil only laughs
Laying traps as yet unseen,
in virtues aftermath
Reluctant aspiration,
free will a double edge
That takes us high while honing doubts
—of falling off the ledge

zealous yokefellow
xenolith with vitality
Unseen the Spirit resides quietly
perfecting obedient natures,
ministering love, kindness, joy, insight,
honing gentleness,
faithfully encouraging disciples,
convicting breath abides.

“How still is our tranquil stillness ~
If it ushers not blissfulness”
_______________
Seeking connection
In active cognition
Presupposes
Separation
Seeker seeking
Is energy leaking
Methinks silence
Needs tweaking

Winds of almost Spring
Honing ice knife blades
In shaded canyons
Crackling through leafless twigs
Slapping falling sap
Against bent defiant trunks
Newly filled with sustenance
For tight knotted baby buds
Twisting constantly up toward
Ever giving sun
As Winter retreats
Again

water monitor, beach bum,
attracted to the rat race, there's
cheese in their stomach, keep it
three hunid, free warning, nothing
fair, been in the lab honing, nothing
to spare, lose or give a sugar
coating, a promise to keep, got the
title and ownership, an answer key,
....

His plan was diabolical
Obsessed with the details
He had constructed it for years
When he acted upon the impulses
the effect was short-lived
He needed another fix
and another and another and another
He lost count of his victims
More concerned about honing his plan
for the next one

Allusions of brewing brown
that made its way to tinsel town.
At dawn it turned to waxen white
with gleaming glow against the light.
With warm embrace to fuming flow,
it wilted into glazing glow.
With shifting shapes like honing hue,
its flare became the fad of few.

Peace be in your fallen flock
let it be in the glens silence
sway in your all seeing
but not the ones that got away
Beholding in your jurisdiction
and your frayed dogs collar
that needed mending
and forget those adnomination's
that surface occasionally
Gods breathe is the plan
that roams with your honing

Paint me a picture using just words
With a brushstroke, soft and sweet
Use colorful paints for clear imagery
For your lovely words,
They serve to replete
A master painter, a poet indeed
Daily honing your talent and skill
Paint me a picture, using your words
Let your canvas be paper
Let your brush be your quill

no blink, no bluff—
just rust-bitten bikes
on a gravel road,
grip slipping, brakes optional.
we called it honing our craft,
we didn’t dodge.
we needed the crash—
proof we meant it,
authentication we weren’t just
trading truths for dopamine
and DMs.
some bicycles
are built to survive
impact.
mine wasn’t one of them.

Abraham Lincoln once said
The best way
To predict
The future
Is to
Create it.
He also said
That if he had six hours
To hew a tree
He would spend four hours
Honing the axe
And two hours
To cut the tree.
The World is spending
Vast amounts of time
Effort and money
Honing the dagger.
What beast
Does the world
Want to slay?
What future does the World
Want to create?

our soul is a lone traveller
surfing waves of the vast ocean
weaving its way through illusions
with ego causing commotion
there is nothing to be done here
save sharing in life, love and light
honing creative expression
dancing to beats of bliss delight
body ages, mind too decays
yet light of Self within us glows
one with God, attuned to the source
truth absolute, mind of heart knows

Sweat drips backstage, mouth parched, heart beating at a sprinter's pace.
All eyes on me, as lights dim with spotlight honing on mic and lips.
Words flow to a standing ovation - I soak it all in.
One of the highlights for me in 2023 was performing spoken word for the first time on stage in front of a packed auditorium. It was a memorable experience and probably the greatest in my creative pursuits.

It's all in my eyes
What you see is no disguise
My intent is so sincere
I'm aiming and shooting without fear
My energy is indefatigable
I can meet night with day and still be excitable
In the midst of storms, I'm unflappable
My level of stoicism is masterful
I'm peering
and I'm steering
I'm honing
and I'm toning
I'm leveling
and I'm not settling
This is MY FOCUS
And this is no hocus pocus

Dramatic Monologue
Your stinging invasion of audacity through my eyes.
A curse of honing tranquility.
Nest of station of a world that never dies.
Nor hampers loves possibility.
Drowning pool, maelstrom of emotional drool.
Teach me you and keep me after school.
Reach me with your umbilical cables.
Drain me of the essence and wrap me
in your silkened spool.
Hymn, Vowel, Fable?
Please be true.
Why can't you, be ?
