Streaming Poems

Streaming live

cities bubbling with their stories
life playing out with all its drama
characters come and go
behind every curtain falls a hero
at other times a villain

the city recycles bit parts for show biz
in one continuous stage production

A STREAMING SENSATION

Sage moose families
journeying nature’s beauty,
streaming peaceful life:-
Powerful, iconic elk,
Canvassing serenity:-

I don’t stream a lot of TV
but once I’m in that mode, I’m down
and I can’t get up.

Best pickup line I heard this week:
“You could be my emergency contact.”

A girl recently called me “weird people.”
She was effusive and I was put in my place.
Apparently, good grammar isn’t legally enforceable.
Her friend apologized, saying—and wrote it down.
“She

ALL BUT THE MEMORIES ARE GONE

“ ALL BUT THE MEMORIES ARE GONE “



  I WALK THE FIELDS I USED TO PLAY I LOOK BUT I DON’T SEE 
  IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT TONIGHT NOTHING’S HOW IT USED TO BE      
  DRIVING THROUGH MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD IT HARDLY LOOKS THE SAME
 

streaming consciousness

stream of consciousness 


A laughing clown filled the heavenly screen
full of malic, behind him, men were eating children
Wine and blood ran down their chests 
they had the time of their life
Freedom to exploit the weak and call it democracy 
they were friendly and offered me a child's soft arm and thigh
I shook my head, walked on to find my

Streaming Dreams

Dreams- with minds, often fight.
At times, they sneak away to entertain- or quake
causing fright!

Details converge
forming new versions- true or fake-
that merge

with beams
to swirl, whirl, make
streams!

Dreams, with minds, often fight-
forming new versions- true or fake
streams.

Endless Streaming

Waterfalls gushing downhill in a violent torrent
During a thunderstorm,
with hefty raindrops relentlessly
drenching the ground,
Storm boisterous knocking
at the door, brings with it a sense of
playfulness and mischief
that can't be ignored,
Time goes on forever,
as a cleanly flowing brook.
via a causal nexus of living things,
anti-time advocate,
supplier of posture,
persisting at all times,
highly conspicuous.

Streaming Parallels

Dewdrops fall, gentle
Sliding down a soft petal
Kissing away the drought
~~~
Teardrops fall, wistful
Slipping lightly down a cheek
Embracing the hand of grief

Challenging Concepts 3

I
Humans are not candles, but patterns - of light

Molecules, energy & photons allow air, nutrients to stream through us

Our eyes can't see what's streaming through us; yet we are the Universe

The Current That Comes Streaming Down

The current comes streaming down
The road as I tread the steep.
In the past I used to frown
Upon this carver of ravines deep.

Today it's a trickling stream
But it's how ravines are born
To quell which takes many a team
Or to the sea chunks of earth are borne!

Water needs to run downhill;
And it does so beautifully.
Surely, no one

Spiritual Streaming

Has life ever been cheaper,
When doubting God grows steeper?
Love without justice perverts.
Justice sans morals subverts.
Despite the evil scheming,
God's spiritual streaming.

Doubt your doubts about the Lord.
Confessing them brings reward.
His past acts need reflection.
Remembrance foils defection.
His Providence revealing,
God's spiritual streaming.

So, wait for the end of it-
His faithfulness will acquit.
Remember, He's powerful,
Gathering up baskets full,
After thousands done feeding,
God's

Surfing Streaming Slam

Upon a keyboard

Littered with symbols , numbers
and letter's

I surf the so called internet
world wide webb

Type address then click

Into a search engine

Then begin to journey catch a wave

Against a tidal stream of hate

I myself have fallen victim under
to both create and grow in statues

A webb of trolls and false prophecies

Hiding behind avatars that provide
protection

Because in reality

I cannot chose to enter into the stream
Any more than select my night's dream,
But when swept into its generative storm,
Where earthly imaginings under perform:

Then - only - does the inner eye awaken
 to Black Elk's "Sacred Way"
Of seeing, or one can dance in the "still point"
 of Eliot's creative sway.
Yet all stirrings emanate from the

Streaming Waters Land Flowers Birds and Bees Surrounding Me-

Eloquent streaming waters
Aqua Pearl ripples covers
As the wind kisses so mutters
Erodes embankment covers

Meadowlarks and Honeybees
Springs essence so surrounds me
On breezes through the lee's
Nature soul callings be
