Short Mitigating Poems

Unction from heavens
Mitigating crown
Ballasting nature and nurture
Ritualistic canopy
Ecological shield
Leased providence
Licensed convenience
Amended space...

Once more an angel has earned wings
For mitigating human strife.
It's noted when a small bell rings.
Once more an angel has earned wings.
Anointed, happy angel sings,
Proud that he's helped another life.
Once more an angel has earned wings
For mitigating human strife....

pause for but a moment, the flow of life
feel whatever sensation arises
do we sense heart contractions, caused by strife
onset of angst perhaps, whence fear rises
mitigating joy’s offered surprises
if this be so and we feel sense of lack
shift into the void and get soul’s light back...

as the universe appears and disappears
pulse of aliveness displays myriad hues
then ego surfaces, assigning meaning
to divine magnetism dancing in forms
deflecting attention, mitigating bliss
until single eye restores equilibrium

layer by layer as we thus vaporise
no one remains to weigh and size

Empathy's board of self control
in agitation does incite discord
that mitigating plunder of resource
confines "together", ne'er as moving forward.

To understand before the plunging of the sword
unfetished then, that violence abhord
does reason to itself some visible explored!

Composits render, board by board
is but the building blocks of men
while spiritual reasoning, as such, does chord
and harmony as truth is faith's resort!...

I've sought all concept for mitigating puzzles. 

I poured my heart and soul into getting rid of muddles.

We were entwined in the tangled bushes.

When you've gone, nothing to speak about.

And there is no silver lining, but there is a gray doubt.

I was not enticed by the last beats of the falling drums.

Around the bend, up a tiny knoll
A lonely one walks, bewildered
And uncertain of their goal

Can you walk a little faster
Offer shaking of their hand?
Mitigating hardship,
Say you understand?

When parting at the next bend
They’ll feel secure and brave
Walking with firmer, lighter step
For the friendship that you gave.

They don’t have to know, you see
That you were bewildered too
And walking with them, side by side
Made a brighter day for you....

involuntary memory pulse
ripples of the past and future
intrude surreptitiously mitigating
bliss humming in the now continuum 
yet being but an occurrence dreamlike
presence simply embraces and releases
the illusions manifest in staid nonchalance 
holding steady flame of soul awareness
in perfect, vibrant, dynamic stillness 
in this manner bilocating attention 
an aspect of our innate freedom
employed by choiceless choice
