These bright summer days
             present a world starker than
                                 fall's greyest hours  
                                             8/14/22...

Boundless pastures, velvety green,
Between the forests there;
Sheep and shepherds, gujjars and buffalos,
Present a heaven’s scene:
Scarcely seen—in fog.
Sad soul! How benevolent is life there
And how hard in real....

So, where is all that oil?
Please, share if you know!
Is there a camera to foil?
Let the world see the show
Living beyond our everyday
Can soon present a problem
Adjustment is the only way
May we all help solve them...

when spiritual life is low
and failure fills the air
never despair
a bruised reed He will not break
cut-off nor forsake
but from the ember glow
present a further chance
to resume the kingdom dance

The present is in your future,
the present in your past
The present a sacred mystery,
its moment to unmask
The present is in your memory,
the present in your dreams
The present neither begins nor ends
—eternity set free

Maybe
I’m not meant to be happy,
Maybe
There’s no point in trying;
Even if
I give the present a chance,
Even if
I say I’m not lying,

Feeling
Ups and downs,
Doing 
Nothing at all;
Dealing
With what holds us here,
Living
Is worth the fall.

A warm day, a cool breeze,
An autumn forest, a perfect freeze.

A flying choir, a band of nature,
No one present, a pretty picture.

A graceful doe, a curious fawn,
A shallow mirror, a magestic swan.

A quiet peace, a golden sun,
In hopeful silence, I wait for you to come....

The present is in your future,
  the present in your past

The present a sacred mystery,
  its moment to unmask

The present is in your memory,
  the present in your dreams

The present neither begins nor ends,
  —eternity set free

There are seven quistadores,
with seven keys to doors.
Who walk my bedroom floor,
in my dreaming state at night.
To close to the door to close it,
they just walk to and fro.
Will they present a present?
I truly do not know .
But there are seven quistadors,
with seven keys to doors....

I wake up one March morning to a world of wintry white
As winters tight grip and springs promise behold my site.
Green buds poking through white on flora that will be
purple, red and white to present a sweet aromatic smell 
like the snowflakes that spiraled in rhythm to nature’s chiming bell....

It seems we come here for our fix. 
We cannot help it our thoughts do mix. 
The need so present, a heady dream. 
The words do batter, and out they stream. 
Our fingers shaking, the thoughts so clear. 
Once again seeking to conqueror our fear. 
Writing, writing the driving goal.
The drug to which we give our soul....

ONLINE

Everybody 
Hadbeen in online
So, they send condolence
For neighbour’s death
through online

TALKATIVE

Lazyman
Won in the speech
About ‘hard work’
But, the hard worker
failed in the contest
without present a good speech

MUDDY SOIL

Lazy to enter near you
But ready to eat crops
ripes from you...

Memories never fade away 
Even if your tears and smiles choose the better way

Happiest moments start hurting you the most
Making your present moments roast

Sometimes these memories hurt you
And you land in deep blue

Some turn nostalgic
while some may turn traumatic

Memories are the shadow of the past
From now make present a blissful blast...

     Sunrise majestic, vivid bursts of magenta
       and pink streaks of sunset present a dilemma

    as to which of the two inspires me more
       the promise of daybreak or moonlit night’s shore

    Yet I can’t sit here and plumb the depths of this question
       lest sun’s promise fade ~
                     and clouds mar the night in rapid succession

a solitary willow weeps
a babbling brook nearby
deer and fawn present a peaceful scene
the sun begins to glisten
on the dewy grass

field mice run through the meadow
rabbits play hide and seek
bluebirds perched above
on a white pine branch

sudden gunshot echoes
everyone scatters
first day of hunting season

Somewhere 

Somewhere  it looks stately
All the respect and wanting
Took a toil
Stop using me like soil
I woke to a rip
Saw your fail and slip
Instead of doing what should
Or if you could
Doing what you could
Your joke  of trying to fool me
Present  a foul on you
Now lady what you going to do
Opened my eyes 
No more lies
I seen it all before
Get out of that door

If By Chance cometh glory
Surely I shall tell a story 
Of inklings and facets found along the way
Of beauty behold this glorious day
Of images and mirrors found lieing in need
To paint a picture with all that is seen
To forge beyond of just one dream
To present a beautiful masterpiece
For the world to see

Endless and Forever
Endless and Forever
Endless and Forever

Presence

There is only Presence
a rich oneness
which is our identity
 standing and witnessing
and creating of itself 
life's many separations..
Paths of separation
of resisting and seeking
seem to veil our identity
allowing only brief tastes
of the Presence we crave
and words fail to disclose..
But the thrills on life's paths
present a window
which when cleansed
illumines our way home......

Hi, Santa, I want a pile of North Pole snow
and I’d sure like to know if it’d be too hard
to make my present a fulltime body guard?
My big brother treats me bad, he’s so mean,
and I know he wrote you for a guillotine!
He does gross things with spit from his tuba
and always shoots me with his bazooka.
Please, a guard on the scene until I’m eighteen?

Tell a lie,
A fact lay behind,
What's a fact,
Well most can go by it,
When they all see the difference,
They call you a liar,
In this case and sometimes,
They all can lie,
And present a story as fact,
While what you saw or felt,
Was disproven allright,
But it remained a fact,
You were known to have lied,
But they all knew,
And you as well,
That you spoke the truth,
This is injustice,
With full prejudice....

Den Mothers,
Cub Master, and others
Around a fake campfire ‘burning’ bright--

Present a Webelo with an Arrow of Light.
He’s the Pack Meeting’s special honoree this night.
Crossing the bridge, no more a Cub Scout

They know what they’re about:
Bridging Scouts!

Canvas...
Gifting the canvas of self to your paint brush,
 
Neat ,clean, flawless and smooth.
 
Fill me with the colours of your emotions soothe,
 
Silver,
Golden,
Crimson,
Blue,
Green,
Yellow,
Shades of grey and black too.
 
Let them mingle and present a picture true,
 
Symbiosis of emotions in our being through
 
Be natural,
Show your colors real
 
For the fakes would fade off
 
Leaving the canvas black and blue.......
 
@ 'dusk'........
