STANCE AT GETTYSBURG

Shenandoah cries
Voice of a Leader
Echoes of a Nation
Tomorrow only the beginning
The change needing a change
Soulful hope
Skies above in realize
Direction from Heaven
White House woes
Freedom, Wisdom and Rise
Bitterness through emotion
Far from the Liberty shores
Darkness plight
Wonder of the day, and the offspring of thought
Turnaround to oppose
No Slave shall be
Rebel no more
Freedom ways
Impact says
Pathway to a better life
No more demands
Freedom by order and command
Honor and Leverage
Proclamation and Freedom is now a privilege.

Step Stance

Dark chest
inhale your bite
exhale its shadow

wings that twisted pierce
like barbwire
cover your heart

black feet on glass
I watch my spine
still touch me

A raven cries
   give me my nights,
             give me my nights,
                      give me my nights



(I do not have a bad stepmother.  I was just personifying the raven's darkness.  Just the metaphor. )

STAY STANCE-

"She so says,
        He must really love me because he just won't go away 
He must really care for me because he's ever present like the air, moves yet stays, Always  available awesomely so cares. Like Daddy God yet and still his stance stays.
He moves, moved quietly yet he stands loudly. He won't go away he accepts me for who and whose I am
         He doesn't comment on my negativity his space is graced with the love, of the Father His heart is earnest so important he craves attention yet he does nothing about expense still and still he stand he refuses to leave yet he stands oh what a love this man had such a gentleman he prays for me often interceding quietly such a whole man yet instilled he understands quietly awaiting yet still I'm pretty his heart's blossoming beating yet still don't know the provision don't understand the vision yet and still he stays he won't go away he .......






just stands,  so in my stay I'm just gonna stance"

Winter Stance Minichu

Now a hollow cloud I remember
Drops me from so high—
Melts off this forever.

My red in the thermometer's glass—
For I to ghost's gloom run
By mercury's clairsentience.

The frost's white blush—
A green blossom thud;
Winter withstood.

Now a hollow cloud I remember
For I to ghost's gloom run;
Winter withstood.

Stoic Stance

Laboured breathing and bones weary
Yet vibrant heart, far from dreary
Gentle eye, echoing love’s sigh
Soul’s stoic stance, seems so eerie

To be as such, fear forms must die
That flag of love and light flies high
Poised, irrespective of outcome
Mantra of life being, retry

Within heart continues to strum
The gong of Om, God’s cosmic drum
Bliss magnetism pulsates inside
Music of spheres does softly hum

In the vast void, to wingless glide
Breath by breath, enjoying the ride
Free from cravings of lower mind
Face smile dressed, always dignified 

Childlike innocence, brave and kind
Playing life’s role, as is assigned
Heart prayerful, thoughts beautiful
Is with all existence entwined

In Stance the Autumn Sparrows In Flight--

so late fall damp rains
brightly flies sparrows so calls
getting wet in flight

Moral Stance

We need to accept what in fact  we are...nil lowest nor abundant...

Nathania Nana's Bubble Stance-

Bubbles blowing in the wind 
Moving in the air
 Flowing in the water's capsule blend
Breezed translucent spears 

With air covered with water flying suspicious
 All around me bubblicious
And when I run out of the solution soap extinguished
 Mommy can we use the soap we use for the dishes

Stoic Stance

hot and humid, energy drained
with mosquito menace to boot
why’d we worry, we feel not strained
nonchalant eye cares not a hoot

transfixed in the bliss dance within
jibes and taunts of fate matter not
the void’s our home, we dwell therein
choosing thereby, to be self-taught

one with oneness, we are at peace
following the fragrance of love
breath by breath, turning a new leaf
God’s blessings pour in from above

beholding pulse of life renew ~
heart leaves behind no residue

Stuporous Stance

our fault line
is ego
so what’s next

can we shed
each belief
here and now

seems we can’t 
so dream on
in stupor

Took Stance

Had to be the goofiest thing I've seen all year
looked as if
you thought he was doing his wife
maybe his horse
he could be doing all the whores on 4th street
you would never guess she would never know
impressed at backlash
now in a erective stance
she was way out of the picture

he was now number one

placed in his two
here and starting from now on
the night was far from over
the source was in for it 
the source had a long way to go

still was the goofiest thing's I've seen all year ....

Stooped Stance

Melding with the void,
blissful, overjoyed,
we choose to descend
to help souls ascend.

In search for the light,
there’s no wrong or right;
since the truth is veiled,
by fears we’re assailed.

Ignorance the cause
why love’s put on pause,
so we have no choice
but to heed God’s voice.

Conscience is within;
listen to begin.
Complex made simple ~
just rest thoughts nimble.

Buddha and Jesus;
their teachings please us
but then we forget,
languish in regret.

Easy is the road,
heart is God’s abode
but being ill bred 
we live in our head.

Discard all knowing
and keep on flowing,
head-heart hand in glove,
embracing God’s love.

Stuporous Stance

Our waking state’s but deep hypnotic trance
Tamasic* sloth, knowing not who we are
By our hand thus shaping soul’s circumstance
We are he who we seek, yet look afar

A Stirring Stance

A STIRRING STANCE
its clever hand
& intended aim
  with deeds of dare
a heart to race
  &intent to gain

underplayed
 at the line
  acumen unbounds
 destined
to be destroyed

this raging hell
      at eventide
fallen from the sky

  such  irony
would break
in time
  bequeathed
  & placed upon display
to leave
all regret
    behind

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Witness Stance

Witness stance beholds in delight
Ascent of fellow souls
Truth is same, shining in God’s light
Transcending earthy goals

Dwelling in the vast void
Each moment overjoyed
Presence is by bliss buoyed

Joyous dance
Witness stance
