Short Resiliently Poems

It would be easier 
           endure the world
             on the back,
           if each one volunteered
             with his own shoulder 
             resiliently,
             stoically......

Resiliently
receptionist recovered
recycled report


See subdued sunbeams
Subsisting still, somewhere shine
Suffusing sunset


Trendy teenager
Trusting tie-dyeing trainee
Tee shirt total trash...

Unreciprocated passion
is not yet resonant compassion

Unreturned love
feels dissonantly lonely

Failure to cooperatively thrive

Longing for health giving 
mindful exotic 
double-binding 
cobinary relationship

Strong wealth receiving 
resiliently embodied 
erotic co-elationship....

I invite all human kind
to shun Trumpeting Towers
because they are irrelevant
to all MeWe things therapeutic

And because
my depressing blues songs
and green signs
tell
and retell 
ultra-nonviolet me

we don't feed narcissistic
angry red 
rabidly stampeding
ballistic elephants

Cuz it's not healthy
nor resiliently wealthy,
compassionately unwise....

The tray is undamaged
Doomsday haze
Coral and crystal shards
Ascend to the heavens
Or allow yourself to get burned
There's no end to knowledge
Under a bright blue sky
Resiliently attached
To reality and its metaphors
Castle of yearning
Beyond the nothingness
Sensibility and radiance
I was ecstatically delighted

False pride is ego-independent pride.
You no more made yoursellf
than you can unmake yourself
independently of others.

False wealth is ego-independent pathology.
It will no more contribute to your well-being
than your well-being could ever harm you,
interdependently healthy with others.

To paraphrase Dolly,
in "Hello Dolly":
Money and health are like fertilizer.
They work most resiliently
when spread around....

Poverty may not necessarily
laziness connote,
and riches may not
necessarily hard work
indicate.
The hand of providence
does its major role play,
as successes and failures
to each man is assigned.
Work resiliently before
the twilight of life,
extending the goodwill
of fortunes divinely
earned,
thus leaving indelible footmarks
on the paths of existence,
because one day,
die we all must,
and our deeds to future
generations will loudly
speak....

December 04, [1984] is a special day.
The birth of my niecey changes our ways.
     Light a fire to rejoice childbirth.
She is a flame glimmering in the world.
     Name gave - Flame V - supernova seed
Autism spectrum emerged at 2.
     She inspires and motivates.
She ascertains to live resiliently.
     Elated this year for thirty years
