If to the other side
it is still the same
for rice aligned thither....

when   little birds chirp
  life sings hither and thither
   signs of spring at last...!...

hither to thither- 
ice and ice without sweet cream; 
we scream for cold stream

Hither and thither and yon
Is a place where all cads belong
An internet tweet
Records their deceit
To haunt them their whole life long...

Lust for famed glory of gold
Tossed lofty hubris for forlorn dole
Soul after soul, starves and beggars
Hither and thither for tragedy’s own mourn...

Don Key went hither, thither and yon
Plowing fur rows to the crack of Dawn
From March to December
This upstanding member
Served as a yokel phenomenon...

bough bobbing with bulk
as barred owl hoo’s for his mate
hither and thither

A man in a terrible dither
was yelling both hither and thither.
He cursed all his brothers
his sisters and others
and then cussed his father an mither....

My Soul

My 
Soul
Finds peace
Among words
Written by poets
And my heart soars afar, thither.

HERE
present, in situ
replying, being, attending
place, existence; thither, distant
pointing, waiting, searching
yon, yonder
THERE

he who seeks rapid ascension
what knows he of meditation 
floundering hither and thither
dithers as dark desires slither
fears shrouding him in contraction

In deep amnesia
The truth forgotten
The future unknown
Entity flounders
Hither and thither

Directionless 
In the darkness
Oblivious
To the true Self

In prayer
Innocence 
Reclaims truth

The way
Inwards

Pure

Melting down into 
kindly patterned brick
shifted from a grandfather hand, slow.
A stone stands expressionless.
Which makes him look more human.
3 others like him perch
atop one
less like him
and anything green or living
seems to wither thither presence....

Ego vaporised
The veil is thinning
Inner, outer same
Nothing to be sized
Light now flickering

Oscillation 
Hither, thither
On cessation
All storms weathers

No one here
Save presence
Bliss draws near

Clear light
Within

Dawns

Melting down onto kindly patterned brick 
Shifted from a grandfather hand slow.
A stone stands expressionless
Which makes him look more human
Three others unlike him perch atop one
Less like him
And anything green or living 
Seems to whither thither presence...

Watch the frolicking squirrels
scamper hither and thither,
tree branch to fence, fence to ground.
Follow the leader!

Across a telephone wire,
they dash, then flash down the poles;
scurrying through yards, they play.
Energy to burn.

If tomorrow does not occur 
The world would be quite a mess.
Some would dart and some would linger
If tomorrow does not occur.
With people rushing hither and thither
One and all would lose their heads.
If tomorrow does not occur 
The world would be quite a mess....

The lord does giveth,
and the Lord taketh away,
Blessed be His name.




Job 1:21
“And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Go hither...Go thither,
amongst the changing times
yet still remains the ruins past,
.....stoic and sublime,

Go hither...Go thither,
atop the rolling tides
rippling past a future fast,
...heroic upward climb,

Go hither...Go thither,
too flight on winded breeze
ebb'n flow,to'n fro,
caught in mid between.......

Listen to poem:

Illustrious 
Phantom
You chase 
My desire 
For satisfaction
As I chase you
Hither and thither
Like the rainbow's end
Always just out of reach
Escalating intensity or just
A trick of the cruel mind
Dancing across my skin
Infiltrating my sanity
As a ghostly feather 
Until I find your 
Illusive hiding
Place
Ahh

Mama rhino sways slow up Indigo River.
Baby into eager stride for stride and shivers.
Waterbucks nudge tip-toe go downriver.
High grass and baby dance together
A game of play and a chance deliver.
Butterfly flutters hasten thither.
Baby-tired falls asleep standing begins to quiver.

Ancient thoughts that robbed my mind
Twin only to celestial time
Idled is how time is seen
oh how lonely time must be
Death has swallowed time erase
get thee thither no time to waste
Endless mirrored time prolonged 
thrushed into timeless beautifully adorned
Mocking recklessly marveling at the chase
Longing for time to take her place...

With the weight of the world upon my shoulders,
Like Atlas doomed to uphold the Sky
Or Sisyphus and his boulder-
On Pegasus to thither fly?
The Minotaur and its Maze, 
Medusa and her stony gaze,
Aries in a monstrous rage,
As Hades steals my Soul to die
Prometheus, who gave us fire,
Apollo and his golden Lyre,
Hera and her jealous ire,
And Zeus, who ignores my cries!...

You walk upon that desolate course
Ever aware of the brooding clouds above
Yet unable to see the great vistas which await
Is this life, ever threatened by storms?
Take a moment, look around with open eyes
For in the distance is a line of shimmering gold
Somewhere dawn breaks with glorious warmth
So plot your course thither
You have but to walk into the sunshine....

Hither and thither-
of planks of bark!
and ruffled ground
with bittery spark.
The silver pool 
of dead old leaves,
bites a colden wound
'neath the shrubs 
and trees.

And timber wolves
will rouse the snow-
and their coal nose will
sniffle the deepening low.
The ears will curtsie,
held within their paws.
Its Duluth's landmark
of winter's sufferage law.
