Parables

Those stories many

And unending

A seeker's path

Ending  with

The end of these

Parables......

Leaven, the Kingdom

of Heaven, meager start, yet

influence many.

mystery in seeds:
real to me, small, flat gourd seed

Whilst
        walking
     the way

pebbles in the
shoes
an eyelash 
     in the eye

minor irritations 
parables & trials
  to make us sigh 

opportunity
to
confess & 
meet our maker
before 
     .... we die...

A stitching of parables,
a weaving of psalms

Whether ancient or modern,
the truth plaited long

The story we tell,
with one pattern beset

A patchwork of tailors
—whose needles profess

PARADISE

A word far from reality

But parables are taught in order to seek

And yet abstract is all that concurs

Luscious it seems and dwells in the mind

To the righteous, it pays the redemption price

So mystified that can only be a paragon...

an Old Testament
should’ve been in the book
perfect 
as a quote
in parables 
my sayings have you twisted 
says she wants the wife’s dead
but please keep them around
shoot the husband’s

Does your conniption fit?

If it's not a laughing matter, then it's not important. 

Did you ever notice that when you stir a glass of something, the spoon says, "Jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy"?

Worst first name of anyone I ever met: Schmedroy....

The Content:

This volume, holds in your fantasy
undeciphered tales, parables, aphorisms, and letters.

 The Back Cover is:

"The full intentions and final design destined to remain mysterious".

It was one of three on that top shelf in the den,
and there remain forever....

We read of so and so
and his sad ending,
then we remember more;
more people in a long story.

Sadness is a gesture,
an acknowledgement
that we knew all along
its time would come again
with a different face.

Most eulogies withdraw
into quiescence,
a sequestering of parables
told to rushing crowds
and the headlong years....

Drainage cracks and fingers of
eroding souls.

Long dim hotel stairwells
are sarcastic chasms to the flood,
like artifacts of insanity
and poet's blood.

We dare to run down as
prisoners on parole,
humming parodies of parables
and dying at sea.

Our graves are laid in the
phantom fathom estuaries
and reciprocal tunnels
of our beginnings....

Shadow of my soul
Speaks to me in parables
Somewhere from my back
When I turn round to perceive
It was not Jesus Christ
His best enemy it was
Telling me in polite language
‘Go to Nazareth, go now
Follow the star rising in the west
A new king of your stomach is there
Born today that you and your kith
May eat for the future
All that is created today’...

Listen to poem:

*Image of Pleiades or 7 Sisters by EarthSky.
AUDIO: Possible sound a forming star cluster might make

Pleiades 

Pleiades is a sort of verse,
Poems consist of seven lines,
Provided title is one word,
Per titled first letter start lines,
Post any forms such as free verse,
Parables, with meaningful depth,
Pens skilled poetess and poets.

from "Portrait"

The physical healing of parables
There is such a thing of mystery
As righteous anger and confuse
Which He expresses himself
With the ability of acknowledged humble.

You just have to swallow of what
Special details are given in connection
With your hungry of learning; 
And that should be one who follows him
Expecting to sometimes be
Glorified by our senseless argument!...

When the sunflowers awake
they will follow a blind sun.

For now, they are
cold hard seeds in a
softening earth.

The dark is their light,
just as the light can be dark,
in the sleeping mind.

When tall, some taller than I,
some will see from their roots,
others will see only the way,
a blind sun sees.

Parables like this
should not be read,
with the eyes in your head....

New hope carried my soul through summer travels
its timing good karmic irony ,found in ancient parables 
I've dared myself to exceed my expectations
I've survived with new creations
displayed on the walls of art galleries 
in towns I'll never see

sometimes wisdom must resolve indecision
No desire no vision
gave myself permission 
never to keep my distnce from success
...blessed...

Little children  become loving
people in the odyssey of life.
Innocence exchanged for 
ecstasy in love,marriage,
relationships ups&downs 
..and strife.Pebbles in the
shoes,an eyelash in the eye
minor irritations ,parables &
trials to make us sigh if we've
confessed & met our maker
before we die.

Remember and that is what it is. The voice the sound all around. Can desperation find truth and talk in parables. Trails smells hells it's all the bell. 
New truth is brute is good or bad. When the ACID takes over thee eye by eye see why.
Can you imagine or can you think. Now here is the trick. Believe what and don't think it. Now what I just did was that I knew your thought. AND THAT IS ACID!!!!!!!...

Jesus Christ Saint super star
Is the Jewel of Christian heart
He is the light despite the dark
He will unite us all with God

Not one man loves like Jesus
We need Him does He need us
Lay your burdens at His feet
Like a surgeon words operating

Parables and words of perfect peace
The Lord shows us how to follow His lead
As He was sent to deliver us from sin
We all must bow and say hallelujah amen...

Sky azure in clarity, 
Dappled with wisps of cloud white cotton; 
A vision as far as forever, 
The aspirations never forgotten. 
Jet stream vapour trails, 
Written prospective, a script in the air, 
Laden with cargo of dreams, 
Over land mass and sea to who knows where. 
Bright truth at lightening speed, 
Trailblazer parables lucid and free; 
Hangs faith in the ether above, 
Creating a future to be....

If verse could be fragmented unto reasons; these seasons..
Faith speaks of parables; not always understood ? Twas a time
Screams seemed their Psychedelic Furs; breaking away, yet isn't she
Pretty in pink ? Get on with the joke and say; rather, it's a beautiful day....
Baby's black balloon takes her high; she almost fell amid that hole in their eyes ?
