Premium Member ripples in the void

observing hesitancy
camouflaged with a smile
the onus shifts to us
to rekindle vibrancy of joy
with sparkle of innocence

she love to sit 
and do this
while she dip
the chair shifts
and rock non stop
she still has long hair
in her

Trump's Security Clearance is void
And a Florida judge is annoyed
She wanted to see
How Trump's latest plea
Shifts the blame to an FBI droid

Premium Member Reflected Realities

once we see
who we are
life view shifts

all are one
one is all
light of Self

every realm
or domain
is but thought

Premium Member Reflection

i like the way 
   a painting

   changes
   day to night

   i like to write
   a poem

   that shifts
   in different light

RAIN

River dancers on the shingles
Attenuating rhythmic shifts
Icy shivery down neck tingles
Nuances of seasoned riffs

Tremors



Power shifts from points
Capital demands profit
We are just puppets
Nature revolts through tremors
Towering greeds - shatter down

through senses pervading organic form
magnetic heat peaks, heart is delighted
our presence remains centred in the storm

Premium Member Shifts in Perception

"Shifts.."

In perception

Seem to happen

Unpredictably

Immediately as

Nothing appears..

Astoundingly 

Without instruction

Without fanfare...

This Spot of Sunshine

As nurses hurry to their shifts
and a lady in a wheelchair waits at curbside,
we sit together among blossoming trees 
in this spot of sun
between hospital and home.

Premium Member Auspicious Gift

The droop of purple foxgloves lift. The uptick of balm a gift. The shape of eyes suddenly shifts On the brooding workplace clock. 4/27/2019

Elusive Echo

The stream, a phantom in my hand,
I clench; the liquid's gone, unmanned.
To hold what shifts beyond recall,
Is chasing silence through a wall.

Premium Member Happy New Year

a digit shifts
conjuring hope
sans our resolve
so we raise a toast
to the powers that be
without any clarity
on what we seek
for we know not
who we are

Why I Married Her

A poetess once told me,
"Power shifts balance all the time
Empires crumble
Wealth and greatness shades too.
The only prosperity you can bed forever is love."
So i married her.

When Life Twists And Turns

Something shifts in the airscape
Like Lady Guabancex’s angry storm
Then wild winds spin around and dance
Becoming a beautifully chaotic song
Of our vastly ever-changing universe.

Premium Member Let Go of To Get To

Heart
Flutters
Agitates
For expansion
Lunging at illusions ephemeral

Eternal not found in the external
Search shifts within
Tranquil calm
Clear light
Dawns

Premium Member INTUITION

A small warmth
rises beneath thought~
a single beam
finding its way
through mist.

A leaf shifts.
No wind.
Only the air
leaning.

You step.
The path
brightens
by one shade.

The Way It's Always Been

Gone as quickly as you come,
things change with time and distance.
Slow chaotic confusion,
shifts in our atmosphere.
It will be awhile before I see you again
after tonight…

It always is.

Premium Member Night Shifts

They come
These thoughts
Ride the pillows of a dream
Torture
The befuddled muse
Drift
In a silent darkness
Dampen
The pillow
With muttered
Apologies.

The giant unmovable constant stone
My island
My skin
My home

Moon shone tree root Clone

warm fingers
