i 
feel the edge of night
when 
i 
drink of thee
unshakeable
magic waters...

Me.
Unique,

Strong,
Fragile old girl, gentle questioner,
unshakeable hand,
Curious eye, quiet ear....

The goal of perfection for me is unattainable
But as I bumble along, my resolve is unshakeable
One day I'll announce
Got back my bounce
As I open my coffin and yell, “I'm still capable!”...

i
wear the armor of the lord
faithfully
and
i
shall not hold
a broken sword
molded
into
my hands
steadfast 
and
unshakeable 
as
i
walkthrough 
the 
valley of death
in
the 
glorious battle of faith
said i...

After the tempest comes
ripping away all you thought
you held in your soul
tight, unshakeable, unbreakable
You become the tempest. For when
“You embody the golden breeze”
The forest quivers, and mountains crumble in your wake....

From the spirit of God comes inspiration , hope , dreams upon to men . It is empowered by God and activated by faith . It is unshakeable by natural circumstances , nor limited by the limitation's of the mind . Not halted by the physical . It is God's transforming grace ....

a strange awakening
bathed the brain
fogged the eyes of night
remnants of dreams
unshakeable
looming still
with dawns new light
feet on the ground
grog wears off
carbon pops 
xylophone tickle up the spine
still this dream
a taunting tease
pleads definition
I know not why...

Maybe yes, maybe no
Can't tell you what will happen
Nor can you
Who controls time's surprises
Or just what you see tomorrow
Why shouldn't it be the same
Calendar turns, old pages torn away
My unshakeable faith shifts
Just a bit to make room
For whoever whatever I really am
For just today and maybe tomorrow...

HUGS

The day after the Tsunami hugged the shores,
by a penitent ocean lying low,
in the beach  which lay mauled and scarred,
an old woman and a girl stood homeless and hugging 
and not far away
a  bower lay  crumpled, within which
but stood tall as always  the two-some  
of a neem and a banyan in an unshakeable hug.

Clockwork confidence,
clockwork heels;
Clockwork schedule 
there’s just enough time;

Clockwork the job’s done,
clockwork like a leader;
Clockwork standard,
it’s how she runs the house;

Clockwork for free time,
clockwork is sanity;
Clockwork perfect gloss,
not a hair out of place;
 
Clockwork to the letter,
clockwork is an image;
Clockwork graces this woman 
with unshakable poise....

A little piece of my heart lives within you
No matter where I travel around the globe
This statement will always hold true 

Regardless of how many miles I am away
My love for you remains unshakeable 
As our bond is unbreakable until the end of days 

Until the next time our eyes meet anew  
You just need to touch your chest as a reminder 
That a little piece of my heart lives within you

TRY FAIL BETTER
doubtless
  fragile
in
quiet originality
of
sublimated energy
so redolent
  eternal
anguish
elegant

agonising
  challenges
of abstract

remorseless

lately i've been feeling weak
i think i lose a dare
i stopped looking for what i need
cause i knew it wasn't there.

every, now, and then, and which
i hold myself like a god
to pretend i can be so perfect
my wants are just my flaws.

i've been seeing feathers so white
i've been feeling dead
i have a dream that i can see the light
that peaks before the end.

to purify me, i just might need
an unshakeable sign
that i was made to walk a different road
and not to one, i diverged....

I learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide,
And always followed the teacher's directions.
  My kids solve complex problems collaboratively,
  And make unshakeable lifetime connections.

So, I did as I was told
til I was 40 years old,
  'Stayed in my place,' 
   and wasted the 'best years of my life;'
  
While my kids try new things;
They take chances and risks.  
  With a network of friends to support them,
  and the confidence to recover from setbacks
         mighty quick!...
