Freedom 

I can go outside. 
I can go inside. 
I can climb a mountain, 
or swim in the sea. 

Freedom. 

I am free....

Truth releases love-
led by the hand
held from above


Circles encompass
girdle & surround-
kinship abounds....

point to history written
rules of selection in whim
await doors still re-open 
kinship prison of mankind...

the cheap substance of summer
with holiday joys.

Multicolor leaves,
multicolor lights with turkey
delights and kinship....

She can line a cupboard 
Better than Mother Hubbard, 
And  OH Yes! I say, 
She can cook gourmet --
Offers sister kinship,
the salt and savor,
of anyone's friendship....

Can animals understand what we say
Do they respond to some of our wordplay
Is it just instinct
Or a wish for kinship
A pattern mimicked which they display...

Daughter, sister,
Wife, mother,
Adjectives of kinship
Are worthy of worship

Markers of purity,
Idols of sanctity,
Yet victims of atrocity!
Strange cozenage of sanctity!!...

Analogies always

Build better broadcasts

Cause we prefer kinship

Descriptive meanings

            O, how we adore ample analogies!

the wedge
that splits
our kinship
Trapping
what we feel
inside
our thoughts
Mutually
excluding
what fate
has destined
Zero sum

Noises
Love language

Uproar of tongues fades
As evening pours calm stars
Kids hug between creased pillows

' Warmth cradles hearth tamed by kinship'

I feel like we could 
sing one of those righteous
civil rights anthems.

“We shall overcome”
goes to the pandemic point,
and we could hold hands.

Our kinship is dear, and earned,
with simple sacrifices.
Our struggle isn’t over....

Such light and inspiration
That stems from words replied
Keeps bright, the shadowed darkness
And makes one feel alive
The message of a kinship
Like a ribbon bright and tied
Leaves this one feeling special
Feelings, not to dare subside...

Petals of friendship,

Thorns of kinship.



A rose without petals

is a world that never snows,

yet, it’s still the same, a rose.



A rose without thorns

is the moon that has never shone,

fading into the background alone....

Russian calf felt a kinship to the two- legged boy
He snuggled up next to him on the old railroad fence
The boy reached out and gave the calf a gentle pat
They would grow up together, cow and boy
Eventually cow and man; still close, forever friends....

If actions speak louder than words
Then why are words defined
When to be defined gives precise meaning
Meanings found within dictionary lines
Yet words are projected though voice
Spoken actions of the lips
Or are they truly equal
As they are kinship...
