God To Reject

The question outliving the answer,
  the chosen—their verdict was death

The prophecy destroying the prophet,
 religion—its God to reject

Adios Dear Dentist

Adios dear dentist with shots, x-rays and drills
Adieu root canals, crowns, and skyrocketing bills
With just gums underneath
I'm outliving my teeth
G'day dear hot oatmeal, ciao vitamin pills

Sequence Phrasis Part 3 Recited

SEQUENCE PHRASIS part 3
Euphony at its core,a glance to
mesmorise,memories surface outliving
passing fame&excels in retrospect,even
upon the losing side.In passion’s grip,
there’s nowhere to hide,living free,
an awesome task,a heady fragrance
even if fortune favours the brave on life’s
highway,..hope enlightens all.
From my Cameo 2008
Listen to me recite this part phrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthys chiro

Just Like That- Gone

Running wild 
Through beds of rocks and stones 
His voice echoes... 'Neath the mountain tops 

Years gone by 
Slimmed thin; his narrow bones 
His arms, still trickling slowly downstream 

Of man-stocked 
No more reproduction 
Like a blood transfusion...the trout swims 

Just like that 
Outliving you and I 
One day, Old Man River...will be gone

Back To Basics

Low tide on muddy flat
Squishing cold between bare toes
Slipslide steps of ever careful balance
Rhythm break of sharper shells
A minefield trip to brown salt water
With sun and stench colluding
To dull the pain of outliving children
A soul re-awakens in the soft slippery
Sinking grip of tidal change
Outward inward upward
There is no end in sight
As space expands
And color runs in light 
To follow reason
Forever asking why

Clean Heart- -

I heard a cleanly, fouled dredging
When I thought of the clean heart
When I thought of the clean heart
The fresh friend finishing
The groomed gut gargling
As of someone gently refinishing, refinishing
Deep into that darkness open
My mind always strays to furnishings
The groomed green-ware giving
The textiles came outliving
Covering me partially
Oh!  God my house and heart filthy, dirty Lord God give me a clean heart

Seasons Of Life

Seasons Of Life Miracle Man 4/27/2024 Age has a way of collecting life’s dues, Change is the payment we make to age. No matter which phase of life we choose, our payments get steeper at every stage. Sometimes the payment will be in wealth, the dues required for our space on earth. Other times this payment can be in health, Turning thoughts to outliving our worth. When the day arrives we can no longer pay We throw up our hands and God whisks us away
