Steady the float

Here rest my oars.
A killick thrown to the school of fishes,
To still my boat from the peering waves.
Fishy-wishy scatter as water splatters,
Like wood chips flying when the pickaxe strikes.
A ship draws near, but my killick blocks its kiss—
Its stale mouth might stagger my rest,
And send my gathered fish fleeing the net.

Much of the mud my

Who's Boss?

One of the clowns in my circus
wants to be ringmaster and crack the whip
one of the sailors on board my boat
wants to be captain and steer the ship
but there's only room for one
under the big tophat my dear
so they're both out of luck
and the buck stops here
I have the last and final say
tho' not one

In awe of You

We looked up to you---
When during lessons you helped us look within.
Without, it'd be a confusion.
Expectations, a riot of colorful thrill.
You'd observe, steady and silent.
Then encourage us to go ahead.
Fond rememberances.
Your suggestions for books hit.
Like one patient, enchanted-
We'd wait for you to come.
Poetry and thought twined,
And you turned 'Wasteland' our home.

I Can Save You

Blinded by the burning sun
Mouths parched and without hope
Miles of endless desert sand
It's way too much, I cannot cope
The Lord whispered from across the dunes
Be steady my child, don't dismay
I can save you just like that
So you won't lose your way

Hands That Heal

With steady hands and hearts that care,
A doctor walks where few would dare.
In silence they listen, in chaos they stand,
Mending the body with a gentle hand.

Through sleepless nights and endless calls,
They rise above, no matter the falls.
The scalpel’s edge, the patient’s plea,
They carry it all, with quiet dignity.

In every life saved, in every soul healed,
A

VULNERABLE

Life hit me hard on the face
I became vulnerable 
Even when I know many
It's like I know none
None is ready 
To support or give a helping hand.

Everyone wants me to be loyal
Even when they know I am royal 
Everyone wanna bend me
Even just for bread 
They only come after me
Anytime I'm down and vulnerable.

Life keeps

Steady Through the Fire

The hours lean heavy,
laid like bricks with no mortar,
a survival gripped together by determination.
You are half truth, half courage,
escape before they bring the cracks to the surface,
before it shows, before the weight.

It’s not the clapping that stirs you,
not the glow of some imagined end,
but the quiet conviction
to bear it all,
to ensure no one else has

Rock Steady

He played a rock steady beat,
That rumbled as a train on its tracks.
The echoes rebellious stark.
Moving the nicotine in the chest.
Siphoning joy from the very air.
Distilling it down to a sound.

He played a rock steady beat,
The snare rasping like sand on grass.
Hip swaying and ecstasy led.
A blur of microphone humming.
Distorted and redacted down.
Making sense only

slow and steady

it took quite a while
for us to acclimatise 
to throb of magnetism 
incessantly cascading within 

we are now acceptant
and heart is receptive
to the perennial pulse
of God’s wondrous heartbeat

ego having been burnt
in the fire of divine bliss
our hollowed out form
Is a receptacle for soma nectar

there is no one here
save soul presence
witnessing in delight
beauty of the dance

That's when del segno

It's a sincere compliment
you know you are very
important to me
bring it up
only to change my mind
guess you wanna know
why I'm acting so
sweet and kind
guess you recognize it
by the way I make you feel
keeping it real
I'm in love with you

Keeping it real
even though I don't know
what I'm talking about
we got it over

No moss on the steady stone

When you have lost a gem of priceless worth,
Do not mourn long, what you can't restore;
For in the sky a new star has its birth,
And in the earth more treasures wait to explore.

When you have soared above the highest peak,
Don't swell with pride, your splendid leap;
For in the dark a hidden trap may sneak,
And, in

Standing Steady

Watching wild horses race is awe-inspiring.
This stimulates the heart's intense aspiring.
However, in the Lord, I have complete faith.
The toil of dread is as terrifying as a wraith.

My virtue is stability; I'm the same each day.
Steady heedless of what others opine or say.
I am grateful to have received God's grace.
This supports my firm trust in the
