Premium Member standing on water

eloquent posture
as wings spread wide for sunlight
attracting boaters

Premium Member Standing Alone

Shadows break her world,
She stands barefoot in the glass,
Still, her spirit sings.


Premium Member LIGHT FROM CANDLES 

candles
wax standing tall
a bright light glows shining warmth
dark rooms are filled with a bright light
what a beautiful sight

Premium Member river 

on the lazy river
sailing down on my fun raft
time is standing still

Standing Silence

Hear me. You can't.   
Not even the echo can be heard through the rolling hills
rushing through the tree leaves in a smothered forest.

No Tears. No Voices.

Not even a sound from the heavy raindrops.
Silent drops is its name. Footsteps are not heard.
Not a laughter from the mouth. Just the eyes.

The eyes that tells the stories of Life. Love. Stillness
beyond and below. 

Stillness Stands.
No Breeze.
No words.
No Calamity.
Just Stillness.

Wondering promises held hands with escape
and dreams. Jealousy dance with truth and laughing
desire.

Not even the Northern Sky flickers.

Calmness.
Mercy.
Nurture stands still.

Just stillness.
No Way.
No Doors.
Just You.


Premium Member STRONG STANDING SPIRITUALLY VERTICALLY TALL-

The statue of a man is blatantly stand
Posture is evident
Oh what a man
~
Vertical virtue substance sustained
Spiritually ratified his vessel hooked on game
~
Fluently the world suggests stands a man, abreast
And yet man stands his tallest in his truest spiritural sense
~
More than I am just flesh a mere man flawed
In the truest essence, he is of himself, the image and righteousness of God
My spirit, My truest self stands strong and eternally tall

Standing Innovation

Capitalism is entering a terminal dive. What’s the meaning behind this explosion of new billionaires? Does that need a question mark?

Robots that do all the …  

Want to know a cruel fact that you may find impossible to comprehend? Joe Rogan got extremely wealth living vicariously through my creative imagination. He is only one of many. The things I have conceived … and gotten zero credit for are literally enumerable.

Pay To play.

But what can I say … A Secret Fashion Syndrome has worn me out?

We will try

We dismiss the requirements 
Because of certain sentiments
So we misrepresent 
Our own augmented faults
They canter and Ill banter
Is no more than a moment's slander
The wealthy want us to pander
For less than a grain off salt

They keep us confused when to stand
To keep broken humanity's band
So when the answer is close at hand
We will stay all stand alone
But if we ever find our way
And not step blindly into the fray
We may finally see a day
That we are unified and atoned

Just Be the One Standing There

Looking up at the sky,
Do not strive to become that high sky.

Looking down at yourself standing upon the earth,
Do not strive to become that earth.

Instead, at times, become a cloud in the heavens
To keep this world from growing too warm.

At times, become the green grass upon this soil
To offer peace and comfort to us all.

At times, become the falling rain
To gently wash over our aching hearts.

At times, become a steadfast pine tree that keeps the world from shaking,
Serving as a sanctuary for us to rest.

At times, become the pure white snow
To illuminate the darkness of this world.

And at times, become a bird soaring through the heavens
To gaze back upon yourself
Existing within this boundless universe.

In the end, the sky and the earth are one.
Therefore, upon this earth,
And beneath that high sky,
Just be the one—the beautiful you—standing there.

Premium Member Standing on Heaven's Shoreline

Upon horizons running line, I gaze
Where heavens sky and sea connect
Creating a shoreline with perfect edge 
My serenity to enjoy tranquil thoughts
Mesmerised standing on the brink 
Upon heavens shoreline enjoy standing

Premium Member Erin Brokovitch is standing on '

Kudos Erin, I salute your gumption, in sifting for the realitys of some intended
Data centres; projected in positive themed
And Proposed assumptions, Millions will be impacted and the environmental hit.! its
Set to make nonsense, of initiatives over 60 Years morhped into laws, with much fanfare and

Moral cheer' grafting into the syncronicity
And awareness of almost everywhere.?From villages through to citys.' Now the
Rug is being pulled, though threadbare 
And fraying bad.' With realisation that we've
All been had.? Its simple enough i think you'll find, you can see the change to real sustainability, yet in this you need to find; take
Part and be aware' or as its known you'll
Become the most  un-believable square.!!!

Then Til Now

Her conversation
chose pick of words
things he'd never thought
he'd ever hear
and things he was happy
 to have heard
she told him she loved him
and would be glad to
be his wife
a desire to settle down
he'd be her partner for life

I pause to think
a excitement overwhelmed me
a nervous anticipation
ah joy that overwhelms me
I'll ask you then
for the world to see

Too complex for quietness
too many words could undermine
Ia silly grin
exposed me
everyone knew what was on my mind
a Suttle harmony
a melody so eccentric
love over whelmes me
a passion within
what a special gesture
my lover and friend

Premium Member standing tall

and then her magic mountains were covered forever
petit morts had faded into memories of a pleasurable past
pushing and pulling were over as the truth settled in

yet rock bottom is where and when you stop digging
the valley is surrounded by peaks and anticipation
faith would reveal passion and love once again

patience my friend and chakras will open once more
temporary closure in surrender and acceptance
yields new openings beyond his wildest dreams

Last Man Standing

When in the cradle
or a boat that rocks
life's lessons are learned
at the school of hard knocks
where these things are taught
you didn't oughta
1., stand up in a canoe
when it's in the water
as you may pitch
overboard
go down
and nearly drown
&/or,
2., stand up in a hammock
slung between the trees
as you could fall
all out
but merely skin your knees
unless you land upon your head
and then you may end up dead
