liquid or dry
condiments, seas'nings
what is spicing your life
Solid Is Illusionary
We are elemental echos in illusionary domains
Fleeting spectors in a realm of imagined remains
Where this invisible blanket of solidity can unfold
As long ago our shapeshifting dreams foretold
The ashes of truth are trapped in the fires lie
In a vail so thin where enlightenment must surely die
Lays the unseen sanctum for metaphysical bridging between
Here and where memories flow in the narrow astral plain unseen
There where the funeral flames fade
Be not lost, but found, where the homesick soul laid
Of the silent searcher who sleeps within
In the never never land where all dreams begin

In the never never land where all dreams begin
A heavy stone carved out of
falling rain,
It sits upon the center of your
palm.
It has no weight, yet leaves a
bruise of pain,
A freezing spark that keeps
the spirit calm.
You press it to your lip and
taste the dust
Of clouds that never learned
how to condense.
You smell the iron scent of
solar rust,
And hear the silent scream of
absent sense.
It is a door that opens as a
wall,
A solid ghost that anchors
down the sky.
You hold the truth of nothing
in the fall,
And watch the solid truth
begin to fly.
Multitudinous micro-
oscillations manifest
misleadingly,
Quarks quintessentially
quantify questionable
quantum- permanence,
Subatomic structures subtly
simulate substantial
superficies
Macroscopic mutability,
Fleeting fluctuations
fabricated from formless
frequency- fields,
Intricate interfaces interlock
intersecting illusory imagery,
Disintegrating dimensions
deceive dedicated density-
seekers,
Evanescent energies
effortlessly evade external
examination,
Architectural absolutes
automatically atomize along
apertures,
Vaporous voids vividly veil
vast vacuousness.
Fleeting matter masks
quantum voids.
solid gray clouds
eerie feel to morn's air....
stalled weather system
Collum Lune 3/5/3 words same as Haiku only word count
The ancient oak
elegantly extends
its gnarled and weathered roots.
Seizing life from fertile soil,
its lustful thirst sated
from springs that generously flow,
devotedly, unseen.
It scatters beauty,
sweeping freely
'cross a shifting sky,
waltzing with
a wayward wind,
solidly swaying upon
seasonal whims...
I am that Oak
when I am with you,
firmly grounded,
yet swept away.
Quenched by your caress,
swayed by your strength,
I can bend with the years
that claim me.
You asked for words,
I give you breath,
A gentle echo,
Dancing over death.
God is my ebenizer
He's my survival
Steadily give me revival
Whenever I'm down
Always lead me
Through the dark.
God is my ebenizer
With him I always
I'm unshakable
To him I give my soul
Because he's so solid
Never to be shaken
He's my solid rock.
God is my ebenizer
For he made me
To stand on my ten toes
Facing the foes
That woes me
He's my conqueror
For he makes me triumph
Over all my opposition.
Time spent alone with Grandpa.
Most cherished memories to last a lifetime.
His wisdom served me well.

OF OUR SNOWBALLED LOVE
Let our love not be
Like a snowball in a fire;
But a deep freezer:
Solidified as can be,
Even in the hottest times:-
In Standing On Solid Ground
No longer sinking down
I'm anchored hold
Been walking with my best friend
Jesus has been bold
He must be carrying me
Because I only see one and
In soul, believing just
I and graced a d saved, in Jesus
