The frog’s throat inflates like gum
The universe bursts...

Hope inflates a desire of the soul.
Waiting to be discovered delightfully…distantly....

The chauvinist, is not "Man"

          that inflates a meat puppet...!
          Without reason or judgment......

Audacious individuals lack sound judgment
Blow-hard opinions vastly inflates ego
Confidence is exceedingly overwhelming
Delusions of grandeur are clearly evident
Engaged in destructive selfish behavior
Factitious self-importance dilutes potential
Gratuitous toxic actions contaminate the collective consciousness
Hedonistic mindset hinders humanity...

As the music inflates,
  like a David Bowie video

My voice is set free
  for the words to diffuse

Floating above the unwritten verse
   like steam escaping

And drifting free as the
  pressure expands

It cries out the release of a
  lyric unsung

Channeling a melody
  —neither future nor past

As the music inflates,
  like a David Bowie video

My voice is set free
  for the words to follow

Floating above the 
  unwritten verse,
  —like steam escaping

And drifting free as the
  pressure expands

It cries out the release of a
  lyric unsung

Chanting a melody,
—neither future nor past

In this world of danger
I fear myself more than anything else
In course  of   changing 
I never know when my mood swings

In the lush green meadow of life
Nothing I fear more than myself
In course of cleaning the fallen lambs 
I never know when my wolf rises

To walk with you along the road
I fear myself more than the pot holes
In course of removing thorns
I never know when my balloon inflates....

EGO and OGE, paradoxical words, 
Contrast in essence, like songbirds and herds.

While EGO inflates chest with pride, 
OGE humbles, letting grace reside.

EGO demands attention, steals the spotlight, 
OGE listens patiently, in the quiet of the night.

Embrace the OGE, for when EGO ascends high,
The downfall is loud, like a storm in the sky.

Savor the glory with ease,
For the earth provides true peace....

There is no milk to be had
from this humid churn.
The air is obese.
A limping obstinacy
inflates canyons of heat.
The sun throws a leash of blood
around our necks.
Throats channel the smoke
of saxophones.
Over the dry prairies
a fiery mule pulls the sun.
We will burn lanterns,
listlessly watch catfish 
char on bleached docks.
We speak to each other
as if we were just a sigh
at the end of one more 
solar flare....

The ego of the atheist,
himself the standard bearer
Where power of a mortal mind,
inflates beyond repair

His facts he weds intensely,
dimension fencing in
What’s not explained, he must profane,
all emptiness within

Whose formulas and strictures,
his Rosary to proclaim
What can’t be solved, new facts resolve,
dismissive in his shame

The ending predetermined,
his choices lock the door
Alone, his dialectic dies
—naked to implore

(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022)...
