why stagnate, why cling
ego has caged pristine soul
free it now, for spirit seeks to sing...

steamy marshland teems
breeding mosquitos and flies
stagnate brown water

In life you either leap into uncharted realms,
take your chances or stagnate like,
moss on a log,  It’s about choices.

Still waters
Allow not movement
Just stagnate from its neglect
Stir it up, letting it circulate
To flow in nat’ral order
Ride upon its waves
In sunshine

GOING OUT-OF-IT  (triple Haiku)

going out-of-it
where time looks back at you
eyes open    but shut

all life is stagnate
not a rustle in the trees
going out-of-it

yet    you are aware
going out-of-it    half-way
life is eternal...

It's easy, 
just to contemplate
too much, though 
and we may 
stagnate;
perhaps we'll even
dessicate

Better, 
in my mind to 
activate
and motivate, 
I say we 
dedicate to 
create;
then perhaps 
it won't be 
too late
to relate...

Although epsilon
Ego so enlarged
In truth comical
As also tragic
A waking nightmare

What may we do
Save rest in void
Eye of the storm
In staid silence

We stagnate
And flounder
So helpless

Hermit
Awake

Now

Without doubt we would not have answers, we would not have progress

If we accepted everything without question we would stagnate and regress

Without fear we would not have courage

If we always succumbed to fear we wouldn't have the courage to truly live...

nature

imbues beauty

to color sound and light

painting sunrises and sunsets

while teaching songbirds what tunes to sing

always moving never stagnate

turning deepest oceans

to mountain peaks

nature

sentient, alive, aware 
that’s all there is to it
imbibe, embrace, release
it’s ego that clings
identity bubble imaginary

renewing the moments
of innate aliveness 
we allow yearnings leeway
as long as we stagnate not
for each life hue is new

Braising sun stagnate, scaring blistering air, sand cutting strafing, more will I mention, elements raising, wedge freely created, by those who do not care.

Floods freely forging, water crushing scare, wave weaving pressing, life lightly wasted, warnings for all to beware....

routines
     always
       stagnate
suffocate
    as they
        envelop
dreams
    in
       silent
         confections:
beauty
&dignity
     disappear
in
abstract
uniformity
     consumed
     by
     chance,
dwindle,
diminish
die
without
     purpose...

as the case my be,
many in-laws or out-laws,
relatives of flaws…
~
 at the least, no peace,
cause of marriage mating-pause,
 epic dysfunctions…
~
erections of rules,
needed fool, not Viagra…
marriage is stagnate!

Become what you were meant to be 
The world awaits your arrival, anxious to see

Evolution is bound to rear its head 
Afraid of change, you aim to stay stagnate instead 

No new adventures for the lonely, just similar strides 
 One has killed any chance of change, multiple homicides...

O look in the mirror
Who stares back is never the same
We should change
Not stagnate
Yet I see different people
Those who I am proud of
Ashamed
Disgusted
Hate
Despise
I never know who will look back
She looks a bit like me
But that's only on the surface
That loathing runs deep...

You are that rare, cool summer breeze that briefly passes by...
A small reprieve from the stagnate, humid July air...
I appreciate that momentary relief and long for it again...
My summer drags on but I never take for granted that small breath of joy...
My fleeting cool summer breeze......

ACQUIESCENCE

Late March
It’s depressing
Dirty snow and windy
A scrap of paper tatters by
And wrinkles itself around a tree trunk
The sky is overcast    but still
All hangs in time    stagnate
One gazes out
Resigned


This form must have a name, but I don't know what it is -

mud creatures with knifed talon fingers
squirm and rip 
Tearing from my heart
a formless creature with no end or beginning
heads become tails that wrap and entwine
tortured stems of petrified trees
that twist and devour
spread and stagnate
held in stasis
by a lying smile
and morphing mask
that never shows beneath...

desires
consume
our life
as time
does fade
whilst if 
we choose
to flow
then our
pristine
presence
does not 
stagnate
in thoughts 
shallow
thus free
we as
a mist 
immune
from pain
renew
the pulse
of love
pouring
ourself
into
ourself
being
the all
that is
here now
alive

footsteps through quicksand
thoughts a beach; the sea ideas
the tide locked out beyond the strand
as i watch the everchanging shore stagnate
my eyes catch glimpse of the tsunami of change.
i do not want to be buried under these waves of turmoil
but i sink lower, deeper into the tomb of the future. 

inspiration comes at many costs....
