She's Still With Me
She came tonight, a whisper soft,
As I lay reading, lost in thought.
Her warmth curled close, a phantom grace,
And time dissolved in her embrace.
The book fell silent in my hand,
Her breath was there, I swear I felt.
A tear broke free, then came the flood—

Irony nor spirit of time
Five sons well can live
In dad’s one-room, a palace,
Scarce in five-room space
Can the five sons spare some place
For aged parents.
Why just blame the spirit of time,
Or even irony of time,
Blame thyself O man,
Think much as ye can,
Product you are of Purbee breeze.

Where the wildflowers grow
When i die,
Lay me by
Where the wildflowers grow
Then as I lay,
You can pray
For my presence to ‘round you flow
And as winter calls,
And the ice falls
And makes my grassy mound rise with snow
Let spring bloom,
Flowers on my tomb
Grow in the sun’s heat and the wind’s gentle blow
As summer rises,
Bringing heat to new sizes
And away my spirit

SPIRIT THAT REFUSE TO DIE
Silent prayers swallowed by fear
Behind cold walls and guarded gates
Voices crushed beneath heavy boots
Lives erased in whispered hate.
Families torn, dreams confined
Faith hunted like a fading flame
Eyes that plead for freedom’s light
Caught in endless pain.
The world watches, silent, still
As hope flickers, barely alive
But their spirit, though battered
Refuses ever to die.

my spirit animal the deer
the deer is my spirit animal
she knows this and comes to me often
unfortunately, sometimes I am in a car
I am sad to report I have hit and killed four deer
while walking in the woods I heard footsteps in the leaves next to me
it was a beautiful thin doe; she was matching my steps, walking alongside

Dweller of Our Heart
(Line of inquiry: “the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”)
Sunrays warm my blushed cheeks--
calmness of daybreak dream's sweet adieu,
daylight spills through the meadow,
raising closed buds into bloom.
There, in sereneness before the world wakes,
the golden light whispers with gentle grace,
not just light, but presence—
ancient, not in sight yet felt,
it speaks

Dweller of our heart
“The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun.” — Unseeking Seeker
••••••••••••••••••••••••
At the beginning—
before Satan lost his place in heaven,
Man had but one thought—only the good, pure one.
Our thoughts were like pearls shining in conscience’s trove,
beacons of hope, our unwavering guide.
Our hearts were like the sun—
they shed light on knowledge, and

Scratching that itch
Not that of a lower level man
Can wipe out a universe

Why do poppies eat promise

The Crown of Cruelty
In a realm where kindness has vanished,
Where no light dares to appear,
The echoes of darkness reign,
Majestic and cruel in their sphere.
Sharp tongue, slice like a knife in depth
as you speak.
A flashy eye glare soothes your skin
as you walk past.
Words are full of deception, discrimination,
hatred of your color, identity as you-a settler

Pink Butterflies
Breath
Nuance
Light
Dark
Dappled sunlight casting shadows
I see you before me
Riding bareback
An elegant mare
Swishing her tail through tall dry grasses
Chocolate fur
Gliding us to new beginnings
A subtle breeze almost imperceptible
Your hair blowing gently
Haloed by glittering light, pollen and promises
The savanna an alive carpet
You turn to eye me
A knowing glance
A beckoning
A calling
A soundless kiss finds me
My

My Spirit
My Spirit
Beneath the sunlit waves where my dreams drift and dive,
A silent shadow glides—a force both fierce and alive.
The great white shark, my silent kin, moves through the endless blue,
Its power and mystery mirror something deep and true in me, too.
I feel its wisdom echo in the restless tides of my mind,
In the hunger for

Those We Love
those we love don't go away
they walk beside us everyday
some think heaven is far up in the stars
God, I believe heaven is wherever you are
and so you promise to never leave or forsake us
if we believe, if in you we truly trust,
then wouldn't that prove heaven is near?
that presence I feel is really here?
