Positioned near the peak and then pulled back,
matters not to us since ego is dead,
for though we were denied we feel no lack,
so we shrug off those moments when we bled,
continuing to with mindfulness tread.
We will wait for as long as it may take,
for our capsuled consciousness to awake,
be it in this lifetime or the next one,
so here we are, a rippleless calm lake,
our bliss drenched presence lustrous like the sun.
Spells in our lives
When things done for money
Bring less delight
We had enough motives
But struggle to keep living up
Necessity makes us so keen
Like it is all to us
Tours in our ways
When little done for love
Born memory ever green
We had much fright
Yet we never gave up
Stress for what seems nothing
Leaving assurance most time
In chase of precious gem
To tie ourselves to the prime
Wonders if good not mixed bad
That wrong not brewed right to blend
The wight of loss and gross pulse
We shall hardly believe logically, reason mortals surcease
And question the paper for the pen's drive
Full Moon High
From Human to Beast
Craving can’t hold
Search for flesh
Attacks and Eats
Darkness through the evil eyes
Wolfman calling the shots
Bullets with careful aim
Targeting the heart
Instant death
Don’t be bitten by a Werewolf
One bite, a human will become one
Watch as the Full Moon formulates
Transformation bout
Wolfman strength
Powerful and fierce
Beware and on alert
Somewhere and somehow, the Wolfman lurks
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

If you give an ape a gun
will he know how to use it
Would he throw it like a stone
maybe twirl it around
Could he even load the gun
If he figured out
how to load and shoot
then we'd need to give guns to other apes
to protect themselves
You can't have one ape running amuck
with a gun
then they'd need a bomb
who wants to get close to apes with guns
just hurl that bomb at them
but who wants apes with bombs
just get rid of the apes
that will solve all the problems
When you are broken
The pains of life become unbearable
Making you vulnerable
You become unstable
Unable to focus on the target
Amidst your capability
You start living in captivity
If you don't use your agility.
Get up and take the stance
It's your chance to dance to life's music
The tones are echoing from distance
Disability is not inability
When life hit you hard; hit harder
Don't become a liability
When you were made for the possibility
Believe in your ability
For dedication yields productivity
Taking you from stagnation to your destination.
This is not a motivation
Rather an inspiration or education
Enlightening you to pay attention
Because attention yields redemption
If you don't know where it has been broken
How can you restore or make amendments?
Pay attention to the signs so you don't sigh negatively.
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.
"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"

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

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