Disciples sought veracity
From their guru beneath his tree
The great one scoffed with a look sly
“The truth to tell I always lie!”

there was nothing else to talk about
we were at an impasse
our paths diverging here and now
closing in on a bittersweet goodbye

irreconcilable

i asked her out, to date
inasmuch to amend
incomprehensible
insults slips  from the past.
it was only coffee,
innocence wrapped branches 
intertwined with olives.

it’s been so long
your silence deafening

we’ve become strangers
lurking in stifling
indifference
of meaningless
irreconcilable
emptiness

in stagnant stillness
the cord cut
dried up
the bond
disintegrated

The Smith's marriage is no longer viable
Their political leanings are irreconcilable
She raves: Trump I dismiss!
He rants: Biden-kiss this!
Yet their love of country remains undeniable

(“Before the Door”, 2023, original encaustic)

Being In Context

Open awareness 
Conditioned mind
Two halves of a whole

Like a container and its contents
A sky and its clouds
A heart and its longings

An irreconcilable duality? 
Or simply
The gateway to unconditional love

I slept through gales of depression
Exhausted and lost to the morn
Out the window I saw devastation
In your face I witnessed scorn

Mighty trees that topple with winds
Irreconcilable differences arise from within

I sat on the couch feeling vacant
Unhappy, regardless of storms
I wish I could go back to sleep now
And undream the darkness I’ve formed...

America's ancestors would be greatly saddened.

Moral fiber in America is unraveling rapidly.

Enemies foreign and domestic are happy.

Republicans and Democrats, Red and Blue States,

Irreconcilable differences will destroy us all.

Conservatives and Liberals must put the country first

And unite, or we will surely tear ourselves apart.

It started off
So innocent and fresh
We are now you and I
More and more distinct
Day after day after day
And the drift irreconcilable
The bridge is shattered
Hopelessly irreversible
I’m drained, I’m empty
I have nothing more to give
There’s more to life
And I want to live it
You won’t stand in my way
I have to go my separate way

AN “OUR FAMILY” PRAYER 

After this manner, give God your family.
Our family, who art in thy hands, 
Follow them I pray,
While in earth, 
Til they ascend into heaven.

Lord give us this day, our daily faith;
and forgive our upsets,
as we forgive those who have upset us.

Let us not, continue to be divided,
and deliver us from, irreconcilable differences.

For you are the Author,
And the Finisher of our family, 
forever, Amen...

From grief.....................closure grows;
From pain......................experience grows.

The shadows of the grotesque.............highlight the beauty;
The shadows of loss ............................highlight the value.

Blood is the fire of both destruction............ and creation,
From the ashes of death..................new life will be born.

Fear is irreconcilable,
Don’t let it wreck the balance.

Nature

Name me an ardent disciple to polygamy
For falling head over heels with botany.
Would you compel me to pipe an apology
For my nuptials with beauty of zoology?

Mine is an irreconcilable and sweet plethora
Which has deeply dipped my heart in flora
For, I simmer in Nature’s rippling sauna
From where sprang Earth’s teeming fauna!

Jealous Guard with inescapable capture.... 
I love you sweet Suitor, I love you Nature!

Lord, grant me the maturity to embrace mystery
The faith to receive the irreconcilable
The strength to live with paradox
The wisdom to walk with unknowing
To be fully human
To relinquish the ego that needs to know,
To understand, that seeks to be a god.
Help me to walk in the ways of your kingdom
Where earthly values are inverted ~
The poor become rich, the meek inherit
The humble are raised up, and death equals life
So empower me by your Spirit
To live the way of the cross....

The winning in your mind
Now still depends on the right
Decisions you have to make
The real winning is not here
But in the world we live in
We live in different world
When two worlds meet
They will definitely affect each other
The irreconcilable reality gap
Will form a shadow
And your determination
To tolerate each other
Is the light that can
Illuminate the shadow
Whether the darkness blocks the light
Or the light illuminates the darkness 
Depends on how strong the light is....
