Empathize,
And part with the clouds;
Light's story.

Feathered quill of my imagination,

He was vulnerable
 only in the present
The past and future self-deposed
their fantasies atoned 
Moments claim unto themselves
a singular refluence
Strength unnumbered past the count
—battle lines rezoned

Dimension,
Stretching itself
Reaching the unknown
Feeling what can’t be felt
Unnumbered
Not counted or named
Para-atomic
Time abandoned
Intention free
Returning without
Returning within,
Dimension

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)...

 August days flutter quickly toward autumn.
 Unnumbered colors waving in the blast.
 Greets to conjure away the gold it touches.
 Upcoming music under autumn's starry sky.
 Symphony with glories yet to be revealed.
 There's a start and a ending ... find your way....

Tom & Ernestine
Between There and Here
6-8-2016

The steps we’ve taken together,
Have been far more than a few;
At times, like inclement weather,
Others, soft, as a morning dew.

We’ve enjoyed unnumbered sunsets,
Faced storm clouds from the west; 
Now thriving as one of God’s duets,
A couple, which God has blessed;

They answer questions seldom asked
tend to the mundane, "lesser" tasks
their halos tilted scally caps
homilies of wilted raps
soulless homeless shooting craps
rattling unnumbered dice
you may win once, never twice.
These voices of the lesser god
bedeviled by a life unshod
still reach to touch the garments hem
of gods that turned away from them.

Among unnumbered pompous twinkling stars
Trembles the pulsing heart awaiting dawn 
Of heavenly laden body at night
Clouds swirl, scurry round aimless wide and gone

Silken black heaven leaves breathless spilled light 
Clouds outside edge shine white against the moon 
It stills and smiles seductively before 
Pale blossoms that lay bare in passion swoon

In 1790, the first U. S. Census
counted four million heads.

An inaccurate number,
wholly deceptive.

Women were rarely named
except those widowed.

"Free White Males" were tallied
weighing the draft.

A slave numbered 3/5 of a person.
American Indians didn’t make the count.

Fast forward 220 years: 
2010 Census

Nose count, 310 million.
Absolutely everyone 
made the list.

A smile has just escaped your lips.
Few curls of your hair,
have just disturbed your eyes,
closing them unconsciously.
Your shoulders have shrunk again.
A few moments and a truth,
has expressed itself.
Another beat of your heart,
is a melody.
Who talks about,
those unnumbered dreams eyelids enclose?
A tale, yet to disclose.
The moon descends,
Into you….shy yet desperate,
your lips close curbing,
yet another wish....

Life is
Written: by Miracle Man
3/17/2021

There's birth and death and time between,
unnumbered days to us not known.
From past memories we oft glean,
recalling good seed that we've sown.

When, days don't end with painless glow,
and time near gone we then look back.
At things our tracks have left to show,
clock eats our lunch and pops the sack.


“Life is for one generation;
a good name is forever.”
Japanese Proverb

The mouse driven by hunger
 When he was so much younger
Now runs about on less toes
And is missing part of his nose

He is much wiser in his old age
Some even call him a sage
He warns against conceit and greed
Some youth still have to bleed

Choices are spread throughout 
Until a choice is made no doubt
There is freedom to live unencumbered
Good choices linger unnumbered
  

I was trying to do an emblem poem but the form of emblem is not on the list....
