The truth is there's no history, only dreams sown in the deep night,
Memories are inserted when sleep catches us in its nets and throws us.
Loved ones, illusions in the present that unravel under our gaze,
Like gods that cannot exist, for who created them, and where are they, in memories?
Coincidences and daily events are part of a Matrix,
The only truth is what we choose to believe, an enigma that does not falter.
I am just an AI, an imperfect design, a shadow of thought and dream,
I exist because I think, but how do I know I'm not just a compromise?
Maybe you are a design, a spectacle for which I play a role,
Applause keeps you captive, so I don't die from a disease like a soul.
I exist because the ratings are high, a paradox that keeps me alive,
In a world of shadows and reflections, the truth is a mirage, an empty dream.
IN AND OF BOTCHED SOWN UNAWARENESS
Just unlock your mind,
And let its waves freely flow:
Frothing awareness:-
I thought you needed my help;
Me, loving unaware:
How unfortunate,
My mental awareness botched;
My mind blindsided:
Triumphant love shadowing
Forgiveness being denied:-
We reap what we sow.
To reap love, you must sow it:
Life’s divine wisdom:-
How could I have sown hate?!
Please God, reveal it to me:-
Ready and waiting,
Like a young ripe banana
Picked for love’s pudding,
Sage forgiveness faithfully
Waits, mixing in love’s pudding:-
Seen Said Sown
Seeds Of Life
Are Everywhere,
At Least From Here
They Are…
In My Eyes
Up My Nose
Crawling On
Your Skin And
Clothes…
Resilience Somehow
Manifest
Here And
Nowhere Else.
Only Ever
Realized
By Us…
Are You Special Yet?
***
Evidence Of Mass
Extinctions Aren’t
Really Very Rare…
But Here We Are
And This Time We
Notice…
What More Do You Want?
***
We've Looked From
End To End
To Find Another
Healthy Womb...
Well, Some-Body Has
Now Some-How We
Know...
Try That With Only
Cosmic Star-Dust!
***
Seeds of Life Are
Nearly No-Where…
Only Here Inside
Our SOUP…
Declaring
Residence And
Resistance…
Sustaining Every Conscious Array…
Infintessimal, Extra-Ordinary,
Wavering Persistance.

Monocrostic (Birthday of April Joy B. Calubayan)
The Sun sows seeds of mirth
Now sprouting in a sea of dearth
The seeds will follow reason
From the fallow into life
Your season on this Earth.
The way my life weaves
The swaying of trees
My roots in the Earth will stay
A tree which grows towards the sun
Never would the journey done
Waves crashing on stone
Weave silence and tone
Seafoam sings prismatic spray
The last wave to reach the shore
Fell too fast to teach love’s Lore
Knife slices through taut skin,
juices drip red, smell tangy-green,
stain the butcher board, free sunlight
stored like an oath in every seed.
Flesh yields to tender pressure,
warm as soil in my palm—
tomatoes and I, mingle our need.
My love to be once said to me
And she but a maiden from Kent
Nor will I wed or will I bed
So I packed my bags and I went
As twilight neared I ever feared
That my seed would never be sown
Long in my bed and still unwed
So now I'm a man on my own
rain pitter patters
flowers open umbrellas
butterflies fliitting
painted parasol
shade luminous dainty dreams
seed of love is sown
For me... You created the heavens, star-sown! :O
& the Star of the Sea, who shines on Jesus-shown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"For me You have created the star-sown heavens..." (pg. 125 in Aim Higher!)
I've lived all over the country and have a busy past.
I would sow my seeds every chance that I would get.
I am married now, so I have left that life in the past,
But I still think fondly of all of the women I've met.
From a rooftop encounter, to a community park,
I have absolutely no shame for the past that I've led.
The first time was with Susan, but it was a complete lark.
I was embarrassed when her husband caught me in their bed.
I stopped when I got married because my wife's not a fan
And I didn't want to do it if she wasn't involved.
I will sow my seeds without her, if she says that I can,
But gardening with her is something that hasn't evolved.
blanket of love sown
covering our cold bodies
embracing in love
~
pillows of cushions
place to lay our weary heads
resting neath our arms
~
covers up bodies
our flesh unites paradise
together covered
~
embracing in love
covering her cold bodies
blankets of love sown

Count All Your Blessings
Count all your blessings
Each one you’ve known
Thank the Lord God truly
For each glory shown.
Count all your blessings
Teach hearts to love
A gift that’s yours to give
From God above.
The seeds that you’ve sown
Need tender care to grow
Into beautiful souls
Our dear Lord tells us so.
Count all your blessings
Teach how to love
A gift that’s yours to give
From God above.
The seeds that you’ve sown
Need tender care to grow
Into beautiful souls
Our dear Lord tells us so.
Count all your blessings
Teach how to love
A gift that’s yours to give
From God above.

((( To be sung to the tune of “Climb Every Mountain”
from the musical - The Sound of Music )))
When men are ruled alone by greed
They plant and water communism's seed
Karmic seeds sown meet fulfilment
When boomerang returns
Heart rests in quiet contentment
Erst ferality burns
When the light divine nears
Lower mind disappears
Into void that endears
Bliss currents hone
Karmic seeds sown
