Without a god to make them;

A pinch of ash and a dash of dust
Relying on a great one to bake them....

Even if hard or easy may be trying;
Sun or shade,
Will need aid,
And on you other poets I am relying.

On all her cats she was relying

From the vermin that she was spying

Of her twenty two cats

They ate twenty two rats

You can bet that some fur was flying...

As trees serve their fruits
Relying on their tape roots 
To those charming shoots 
Whose most adventurous routes 
Teachers make exquisite beauts

Trying and Relying

To help out selves we were trying,
When on God should been relying;
While He waited,
Trouble created;
Devil disturbs so must be denying.

When writing poems will be trying,
And connect,
With subject;
Thoughts and efforts is magnifying.

is ill-suited to his very constitution,
relying rather on ambition and threads of fantasy to
carry him to places a fish cares not to see...

to her bliss
to a place
not much more higher than this
longing
yet obtuse
with creations
relying on kinetics
embracing its essence
all to be discontinued....

Have I convinced you as sunny skies I chase
Bout this downer mood
This negativity I exude

piles of money for tourism earning,
to Australia flying
and on jet fuel relying,
we now lose it and yell: "Oz is burning!"...

To die we always must experience dying;
Into God's knowledge had started prying;
Read each page;
Now latest rage;
Bible said in His love we must be relying.

The whirlpool formidable
Danger inimical
But we are oblivious 
Relying on grace fortuitous 
Which resolves
Solves
All difficulties external & internal
At a time optimal for the miracle

Charity
                 Ideal, commendable
        Relying, supporting, promoting
    Orphans, destitutes, needy, helpless
        Rejoicing, laughing, shopping
               Settled, satisfied
                       Hopes...

Spirit Flying

Up around me things were slowly dying;
Needed something to keep spirit flying;
For a while had paused and hesitated;
Internet to resurface waited and waited;
On your advice and support am relying.

Guides genius gifted giving
Relinquish requested results relying
Upon universal understanding
Willingly washes whimpering woes
Developing divine direct doing dispositions
Lighting love lamps
Zinging Zen zephyrs......

Jagged like spurs, harshness of curs
Relying on instinct
Spewing slurs, heart’s radiance blurs
Roaming ego’s precinct

We flounder in stupor
Rabid desires anchor 
Enmeshment in rancour

Ragged
Jagged

having accepted limitation
owing to relying on the ego
as we so choose, so it is
thus believing we are form
we live life in deep trance

how then may we escape
when we are both the all 
as also this earth entity
how else oh worthy hermit
but by befriending silence...

On the road I can move with speed
Without a road my life is blue 
But as I move, I proceed
Down this road to somewhere new 

I can’t imagine my life without a car 
Going place to place as slow as tar 
Relying on others to travel again
Like being stuck on a railway train...

life is just another chance,
to meet again, the lovers dance,
to find again, such sweet romance,
a love that's worth the dying,
no babe don't sit a crying,
we will meet again! 
perchance...i'm relying...
spirit flying...the dance.

Centered in a greedy world,
our egocentric minds unfurled.
rising into downward gears,
relying on our hates and fears.
upward spiral to our ends,
penitent upon them sends.
to the exit of our minds,
insanity, we finally find
overtures of hate and rage,
never see the earthly stage....

Dangerously cunning,
dressed to kill, she plans his 
downfall, relying on 
debilitating strength.
Driven by greed she acts:
Deft hand of betrayal	 
dealt by a femme fatal.
