no, that's not retreat,

tactical withdrawal, that's it,

foes call it defeat !...

A misstep detected
His image affected
PR staff directed
Positive spin injected

The slip-up rejected
An opponent suspected
To torture subjected
The slander corrected

Unanimously, as expected
The President re-elected
Foul play unsuspected
Threat now deflected...

over the 
years i 
spent 
my time 
trying to 
obtain your
seal of 
approval
trying to 
mold myself 
into the 
pr-approved 
package 
of perception 
of what is right 
and of what is 
wrong 
in order to try 
and appease 
you in order 
to keep you 
by my side...

Now new Wizards come on scene in spangled coats 

PR Experts, Press, Politicians paint new scenes

That set us all at odds, each other’s throats

With smears, distorting mirrors, cunning memes

("Blue Kitty Nebula", 2020, original encaustic)

Nondual

In a universe of inherent unity
Where oneness is the natural state
Diversity is an illusion
Another word for it is
Individual identity,
And despite the rhetoric 
And positive PR spin,
It’s actually the root cause
Of all suffering

    Silence
    Old Oak tree cries
    Where fallen heroes lie
    White clouds in honor move  
    Heads bow

You could have been born in a palace
yet, in a dark manger it came to pass.

Or trumpets blaring in the light of day
instead of a cold night in a bed of hay.

Maybe a P.R. stunt in the eyes of many 
but to true believers a lesson in humility.

Christmas, oh what an enigma you are,
God's grand design, written in the stars....

             Christmas, Mom misses you.
             Whiskers and cat kisses, too.
             Oh, to be with you!

True, “I can do all things” can describe our race,
Not 5Ks we enter, but trials we face.
‘Cuz setting a PR is not what he meant;
In plenty and want, about being content.

With Christ as our portion, there’s nothing we lack;
The Son in our face means the wind at our back.
He’s not an enhancer, nor a wonder drug,
But that doesn’t fit on the old coffee mug.

(from Philippians 4:13)...

I tried my best...what can I say,
no map in hand to show the way.
I'd try one thing...and then another,
I tried so hard to be your mother.
A mother that you'd love and adore,
I didn't know that there was more.
Like giving time...an ear to listen,
for these myself were never given.
Forgive me for mistakes I've made,
I hope in time the hurt will fade.

You change them once,
you change them twice,
should you change again or just roll dice?
Am I too soon or maybe late,
I change so much, I can't keep straight.
You stress to make plans,
or stress with none,
It gets so stressful, you can't have fun.
Keep it simple, reduce your stress...
and you will worry a whole lot less.

I stand with my ticket,
they are forming a line,
where am I going?
I'll tell you in time.
Will it be early or will it be late?
I look at my watch...but the numbers aren't straight.
The train then arrives,
we all get on board...
fear strikes me inside as they're closing the doors.
The train looks familiar...I've seen it before,
for I've ridden this train to nowhere before
              P.R. Deremer...

A Poet’s Loss

I walked at length and wondered!
In the icy, pouring rain:_
Wind mercilessly howling, 
What I had done in vain!

How a friendship went asunder!
My true, heartfelt,pain.
Your poet’s pen just scowling,
In stuffy, vain and arrogant disdain!
