In darkness thus shadow’d with a keyring flashlight.
It’s green; it’s gray.
It takes away the misstep of hollowness.
The bed, a boat.
The waves of massive shadows in caves.
They growl and groan after midnight.
Bested by the harrowing shadows, no hero.
When grief came, fear fled.
The boat knew the rapids.
Each day awoke with the beginning of death.
Waters receded, white walls depleted, paintings
falling from the artist’s paws, with no applause.
Plausible? Unthinkable? Sinkable?
We choose which meander to follow.
The flashlight, a green beginning of a new life.
Of doubt? Of faith? Of fear? Of falling?
Falling out of the boat into the shadows.
If I dream I recover; cover my feet.
My eyes see more than wrong and right.
They see God. I’ll be alright.

Threatening priceless life,
Murdering rival's wife.
The meanest of strife,
For election victory staining the knife.
In the white man's world, somewhat unthinkable
And if it's their energy ship, assuredly sinkable.
A pillaging of property
And pushing of political opponent to poverty,
The electorate rubbishing his vote:
With criminals dumped in the same boat
Via rainy flows
Of body - damaging blows
Always offering indecent job
To the muscularly strong
From the unemployed throng
Leaving democracies to sob.

'Twas claimed Titanic was unsinkable.
To think otherwise was unthinkable!
Alas, she met her fate,
Because she swerved too late!
Tangling with ice cubes proved it sinkable!

Positive souls
Not sinkable
On path
They not ask much
But give most in life
Not hunting chance
As prey
But they breathe
The scent of life
In peace
They spell
The bless
Of god
Smile brief
Beautiful souls are
Like bee
Bearing honey
In a Pedant heart
Of beauties
Imparting
Secrets in nature splendor art
Look and wonder
Like child
Life is so brief
