On Transience
Everything is useless in terms of awareness
Of the inevitable transience of what was us
No valuable compensation for this mess
But just illusions with naivety of trust
They are so easy to be thoroughly despised
That maybe it’s a hint at something more
Which cannot be revealed or fully realized
As if we lived before and afterwards it

Trump, The Transitional President
Trump, The Transitional President
I looked at the 2025 official portrait of Donald Trump
and thought about Mount Rushmore
and how Borglum would have sculptured the rock
to include the Transitional President
into the ‘Shrine of Democracy’ of nation builders,
passing the torch from one generation to another.
“Donald Trump (1946–): 45th. & 47th. President; ‘Rebirth of a Nation.’”

Transitional Footles
winter's
ending;
spring is
pending.
cool and
pleasing
but so
fleeting.
sun beams
greeting
cool breeze
soothing
spring hue
winning
flowers
springing
sweet birds
singing.
all those
waiting,
for spring's
coming,
will be
humming.

A Transitional Love
a youth that sees a being
of height to be an idol,
too innocent to realise
the turbulence to come.
with rebellion a foe is found,
at heads over trivial things,
spoken speech cannot be refunded,
a phase it's claimed,
but a reflection reminds,
traits of disagreement to familiar to say,
a memory of a life before lessons
breeds fear in the knowing,
sometimes guidance

Transitional Poetry
What gets possibly gained from poetic encounters?
A friendship sets sail though mast’s shadows can’t merge
more than sheets in the wind that two sailors might set in defiance
of oceans, whose trembling waves surf on their opposite shores?
Is it likely ship’s rhythm survives breeze filled waters,
a leaning, you recognize, says what to purge?
You still trust in a

Transitional Illuminations
"As I leave
this compound body
of flesh and blood
I will know it to be
a transitory illusion."
Could transitory
embodied illusions
become mindbody gateways
toward transitional systemic illumination?
Could hybrid mind/bodies,
sacred/secularized thoughts,
spiritual/naturalized neurological feelings
of attachment
to harmonic self/other resonance
ego/eco-perpetuating
inside/outside climates of peace
restoring Earth Justice CoAttachment
also become CoOperative sensory experience
of Integrity's Universal Promise?
Could climax of death's Yang loss
also predict Yin's deeply seeded memory
of passionate

Transitional Autumn
the seasons always treated him with all kinds of rain shine and storms
but he was never the fall guy and enjoyed deviating from dogma and norms
with fresh springs in his step he rebelled as if there was no future tomorrow
which brought him satisfaction and joy but also fierce rejection and sorrow
summer brought heated adjustment

Adolescence and I Am In Transitional Stage Why Is the World and America Mistreating Me So
a person aged from 13 to 19 years.
I am, no longer twelve
adolescence I am youth
Adolescence and I am in a transitional stage
I am a young person
Why? Is everyone always telling me what to do
I'm a minor
Adolescence and I am in a transitional stage
Nothing more finer
I'm thirteen
This world so mean
I have a mind
Stop hovering over me

Transitional Tears
Transitional Tears
A r d u o u s day, both sunny and gloomy.
the payment sought — a trundle of great worth.
My tender eyes in t r a n s i t i o n a l tears —
the dew of pink and blue as I give b i r t h.

Great Transitional Liturgy
Creativity opens doors to learning
to read our own, and others’, compelling literacy,
beautiful truths.
We are not an isolated supreme species creating nihilism,
self-serving ego hedonists;
or, rather, we are,
but within an open sesame systemic potential
for also becoming more grace-filled cooperative,
endo with ecto symbiotic evolutionaries
learning to read nature’s re-ligioning scriptures,
color-chemistry dialects,
to hear Earth’s celebratory
and awe-inspiring climatic voices,
warning and

Transitional Discernment
Who do we invite this me to be today,
here and now planning for our next arising era
toward death's patient resolution,
graceful resonance?
Is there some supermagical meaning
in more recent unfortunate events
capable of reading mystical tea leaves?
the web of palms rooted in life's soul of Time?
in some way that would tip us toward discarding
deeply etched memories of

A Transitional Element In Evolution
vital impulse
and I climb into my grey Ford
I hold the steering wheel
not to hit the car
instinctively I twist
on the left
on the right
should not I die
because I want to get off
After your breasts ...
after I hear Bach!

The Transitional Plunge
The house does not hide
Crying out in different ways
Shards fly with wings of their own
I see the world outside
At the end of the dimly lit corridor
There are 10 doors to my left
10 doors to my right
They command me to enter
Lights flicker animatedly
My eyes move furtively
The soles grow watery
Mad wind in my hair
Nerves in the opaque

Transitional Edge
Pathways have no boundaries,
thinker was without a thought.
Hostile mind refuses to believe
truth was missing from life.
From depth to depth measurement had failed.
God does not know his creation now.
Foolish flesh now burns in thudding bangs
of dry butter. I want you to touch the
opaque eyes of eternity. In captivity of
sighs and groans. You ought to understand
who

Transitional Lifestyle
Amongst the fractured,not yet broken
I move amidst the homeless,tokens
our countries hidden and forgotten
circumstance, of a life they're fightin'
Backpack and sleeping bag in tow
I go,to know,this growing show
cardboard cover's,plastic liner's
discarded mattress make's it finer
there is no breakfast,lunch or dinner
any meal,makes you feel,like a winner
dinner roll's,vienna sausage
gourmet treat for those held hostage
by their account,misfortune happen's
but,what in our
