Their roots penetrate into rocks with determination.
Remaining tenacious after having been battered by storm,
At all directions they can stand winds blowing in any form.

Cross legged,
in his bowed legs,
with determination,
in between them,
he had flagged,
and jagged,
no more efforts,
or trials,
it was just a phone call,
the single phone dial,
that he made to God,
and said ,Lord I am tired,
and it is long that I retired....

Alone she walks,her head held high
To her the crowd is indomitable,
With determination and vigor she smiles unwittingly
Never to anticipate her heart is full of torment
Bruised by the thorns in her life, she obscures her cicatrix
With make up, cloaking her beauty and grandeur ,she walks with her head held high...

Vi's faded jeans
folded for another occasion.
Their distinction -
a silver arrow on main pocket

Friends would ask of
its significance,
but Vi became vague
and slowly indistinct

It was large, so prominent...
A silver arrow pointing down
with determination
to the reddish Texas earth

Yesterday was a tough day
A Headache day
a Klutzy day
a delete an important email day
a delete a poem I hadn't saved day
a brain fog on migraine meds kind of day
a trumble down a few stairs kind of day
a missed Orchestra kind of day
but Today will be a better day
Starting off with determination for a fresh, new day!...

This was final game of the year for the Pittsburgh Panthers, our team
Was to be a fight between bitter rivals, though one would fall
Our rival, The Mountaineers, had their best season, going to a dream
Both fought for glory, with determination at the Backyard Brawl,
Pittsburgh, the underdog, crushed dreams, at that Backyard Maul....

Forgiveness

Dusted with determination
her bent old body plows a furrow
in the field of time.
She has bled into the earth,
eaten unleavened bread
with sacramental wine

Old Mother seasoned with
sorrow, proud of her pain
and the daily acts of contrition
that may bring absolution,
or that may crumble
like the gauzy wings of moths...

D-ay thirteen of March
O-ne dawn has broken; 
N-ight chill turns warm, 
N-o more cold rain
A-gain.

L-earn to wait for the right time, 
A-nother chance you must take; 
R-are opportunity comes, 
O-nce there, silence you must break.
G-rab it with determination, make your presence felt; 
A-im to soar high above as you fasten your seat belt....

Ahead it hums and it glows 
An arm stretching and streaking and bending 

Mattering only to itself where it is going 
Fending off the sky and the dirty water. 

Behind it waves to me through the blurred past 
An old foe it remembers with determination 

A serpent in wait slithers away beyond the mirror 
Wait for I will be back this way old friend....

J-ust run with determination, 
O-r you won't win the prize; 
A-llow your feet to move onward, 
N-ever let them freeze like ice.

M-ake it to the finish line, 
E-ven if at times you fall; 
N-either faith nor trust
D-eparts from your heart and soul.
O-n June fifth Monday, 
Z-ealously hope for salvation; 
A-im at the glorious crown, run with determination....

 College students let their voices be heard
 As they call for freedom for Palestine
 Putting bodies on the line, their anger stirred
 With determination their hearts and minds entwine
 But the war machine is in full swing
 Of a ceasefire there is no sign
 As more death and sorrow those bombs bring
 But do the powers that be...
 really want freedom for Palestine?...

A regular routine of wa istching the stars dance with darkness,
 I found myself peacefully becoming aqcuainted with the moon,
 ?
My soul disinterested in Days empty luminous skies,
I anticipated to go to war with the sun 

 Time slowly became irrelevant 

I watched Z's ride in on sheep,
charging with determination to have me surrender the holy Grail of espresso

Red blush tempting me
Eyeliner awaking thought’s
Rouge creamy and soft
Configuration formation 
Mind with, determination
Body self forming
Legs with exciting warnings
Eyes deeply entrancing
Words luring with expectations
Ears listening and recording
Thought’s wandering aloof
Clasping together two hearts
Souls drifting into heaven
Alarms going off

Dream over lol...

Proceed, my child proceed

With a smile on your face

With positivity and grace

With compassion in your heart

Proceed, my child proceed

With strength in your mind

leaving weakness behind

With stars in your eyes

Proceed, my child proceed

With progress as your aim

All the hardship you can tame

With determination and zeal

Proceed, my child, proceed
