Doris had a phenomenal memory
It served her poorly
Others resented her inability to forget
Because slowness to forgive followed it side by side...

Anyone seen my glasses, they're on top of your head!
Not trying to be funny but your slowness is widespread
Reaches all the way down
To your regions of renown
Cept when nature calls, WATCH OUT AHEAD!...

Each day we rise on the right side of the turf, it's a bonus
A whole lot depends on us, on us guys is the onus
No one else is to blame
In this lifelong game
It matters not that we dribble or ashamed of our slowness...

In The world unfolded,
    life opened the curtains...
So we live on stage
of the universe...
With our steps or slowness
certainty and uncertainty
we live representing ourselves
acting in the tragedies
or everyday comedies...
We are authors of life
and the actors...!...

Growing Up In A Christian Household 

My dad was such a FRAMER then that I oft just felt like a FARMER,  
No alternative routes accepted, no reasons other, 
Only their special Christian gospel that did mother, 
Slippy slimy slowness, a slave’s sleeve slipped in for sloth.

Circling ideas of fun
Laughing and dancing and some
Kissing and touching.

Sitting in front of the screen
Alone and observing the scene
Of others and their lives abundant
Isn’t it something?

Wrinkles and slowness and few
moments of loving the view,
Warmth from the river of burning
Can’t stifle the swell of my yearning
For you....

Grant me grace
As I fall into this place,
With so much acheived
And so much more to go.

Grant me grace
As I recall my old face,
Such rivers of emotions,
Immaculate proportions.

Grant me grace
In slowness and in haste,
For the color and the sound
Are just noisy trains moving 'round!

Grant me grace
For God's Sakes,
It's Christmas Eve!
Can't I just for once believe?

Grant me this grace,
Justin Case.

Old Age
=======

Time will not stand still,
Moving ahead all the time.
Once it  starts it's journey,
No one can intervene.

Before we could realize,
Old age encircles us.
With forgetfulness,
slowness and traits.

When new friend engulfs us,
 Organs begin to withdraw 
 from their regular duties, 
Memory says bye to everyone.

All are not fortunate
To enjoy it's entry.
Old age is not destined
To all the human beings.

Boulevard of trees hold natures secrets
surround me with an ethereal silence
I have found nowhere else.

A hush grasps my heart
assuring me God 's wisdom is imminent
soundless bare movement of leaves inspire me

This mystical forest is a listening place
I feel humbled, overwhelmed
spiritually loved and embraced

I slow my steps to match the slowness of my heart
as I breathe in the beauty of a forest
that replenishes me every single time I visit....

I am learning in a way Sunday teaches
In stillness
In the pause before the next step
In slowness
Letting the world hum around me without needing an answer
In knowing that growth does not only ask for effort,
But presence.
Some wisdom only finds you when you are still enough to receive it
And so, I let this moment shape me
Let its softness remind me
That learning is not always loud
Resting in my quiet unfolding
I let the world blur and find clarity within...

I hate that little circle
That goes round and round and round.
Impatiently I stare at it
'Til what it seeks is found.

And what exactly does it seek?
A signal from the air?
Permission from the carrier
To show me what is there?

There must be some sadistic dude
Who's pulling all the strings
And laughing at my plight
With the frustration that it brings.

The internet, when working,
Has the world at its command
But its slowness to connect
I simply cannot understand....

Lord, hear my prayer,
Get me rid of my diabetes,
listen to the little birds,
Who sing when the street lamps light up,
listen to the tram driver,
which carries so many people incapable of loving,
hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to the high school girls who make up
Before solving equations,
Get rid of the young drivers
Whose testosterone holds the wheel,
Get rid of people who ignore the slowness,
Offer me sunsets in Australia,
Lord, hear my prayer,
and my day will be better....

What are dashes doing... 

Elipsis dominating...

Spaces manifesting...

What's the reason


The pause in ma words

Slowness in "songs"

Distortion in grooves

Sometimes ma mood...

That's a clue



I'll finish it later

Em..what's that letter

Words misplaced

Or even displaced


What's next in line?

Okay I'll find a nice rhyme

What's that word?

Or is it "odd"?

Oh this is odd!

Where are words!


This tank I call ma skull

Is nought.. full of nought!

Cut! It hurts!

What a blank hut!...
