Through the countryside of Tennessee
Steam Engine puff for the world to see
The backside country of Dolly Parton’s life
Her songs offering hope being advice
Ms. Parton’s personality that was warmth and nice
Her moments forever cherished
Every stream and river being images of her beauty
The richness of her soul being Dolly Parton behind it
The skies applaud
The talent enriched from the Lord
Accomplishments unmeasurable
Genuine throughout
The Mountains dance in Ms. Parton’s honor
Dolly Parton would say, “It’s not a time to be sad, but the moment to embrace in the impact of her life on the world”
Heaven requested Ms. Parton’s arrival
She answered and felt welcomed
This was her time
Lifted up to the Heaven’s for greater spiritual reward
I personally met Dolly Parton’s Daughter long time ago in Springfield, MA at the New England State Fair
Leave it to Dolly
Dolly Parton Love
Her life to always think of.
Sitting at the pub,
The one where I once dwelled,
Hoped for being noticed,
Praying it's not still there,
A smile of reflection,
The person sitting in the chair,
Not the same as she once was,
No longer a bar fly with curly hair,
I remember all of the voices,
Friendships I thought were permanent,
Alcohol, glasses clashing,
Lips loose and eyes gazing,
What a different life I live now,
Now sitting for just a glimpse,
To relax, to remember,
Old feelings and yearning blazing,
Progress unmeasurable,
Entering the same environment,
A brief moment feeling a lifetime,
Intoxicated culture is no longer social,
Though it creeps and festers,
To sabotage together,
What joy in letting go and relaxing,
It must be temporary or is woeful.
Breezes of America
Smell of the past
Oceans to Shores
Horizons aligned
The Sun Parallels
Lighthouses stand firm in the distances
Shining Stars with virtues
America’s history past and present
Entry of inspired souls
Beliefs unmeasurable
Forefather’s spirits
Appreciation merit
From Shining seas to Thee
Embraces we
Heaven’s shine
Blessing combined
A word of lesson
Understanding through the mind
Concept energy
Whispers of maneuvering waves
Deep below
Golden hearts
Be Encouraged
Be Strong
Beyond the horizons
No boundaries nor limitations
Ultimate promise
Focus of you
Endless time
Ship to Shores
Beacon eyes
Seas being wise
Understanding to recognize
Shining sea
Taking a moment
Reflection glisten
Just observe and listen
The seas speak.
truth, a specific view of reality
it appears before persons at a given moment
it is not static and cannot be measured
in a laboratory
each individual score is different
as every perceived phenomenon is specific
truth is time bound according
to one mindset frequency within a set framework
truth is always connected
to convenience for wit as best position
based on individuals heeded comfort
convenience and conviction
one scoop can sword another
face can be beautiful or unsavoury
since truth is pliable it is easily
bent by egoic mind as positioning moves
its nature and clarity is not rooted
in material mirrors
moves from waves beyond time-space
ability to touch truth as purity
indicated on spiritual station
being both measurable and unmeasurable
diffused by gospel stories
it can't be captured within single framework
by set groups of labelled individuals
remaining unbound to space
free from human law
individual truth is presence coloured
as fact for material conveniences

BRONZE PLACEMENT: ALL POETRY CONTEST
MARCH 26
As the Great Work is complete and Victory is Won
and the Soul reaches its Sum, On Earth As The Sun
and the Great Duality Commences, by Union Triumphed
and the Lesser makes haste, Vanquished and Crushed
from Below to Above where the Sacred Light is claimed
from the Impious to the Saint,
from the Flesh to the Soul, from the Soul to the Crown
from the Crown to the Sword, from the Sword Unbound
from the Roots of the Earth to the Unmeasurable Skies
from Degradation to Imperishable Heights,
from the Lesser to the Greatest to the Blazing of Great Fires
from Robes to Garments to Celestial Cyphers,
As Below So Above, where Veils are Unshackled, Undone
Ever Forth like Wind Psalms, On Earth As The Sun
I Walk With The Stars far from the lesser Creeds
Indeed, the Starseed breeds Greater Faculties
I Am Light Born, Light Forged by the Celestials
I Am Archetype Quintessential,
I Am Omnipotent by The Great Fire that Dwells Within
Upright like Djed Pillars unto Greater Firmaments,
Never So Low to Behold what was Long Foretold
that the Golden Temple within sits in Unmeasurable Gold,
to the High Heavens that Glisten, a Great Flame Has Risen
I Am Blissful, I Am Luminous by the Greater Intuition
Into the Ether where the Currents Of Life Rip
where All Is Wise, where All Is Electric
I Am Eccentric, where the soils toil in Egypt
I Am Israel, I Am a Citadel, Up High like Asclepius
I Am Born in High Hopes on High Roads, I Blaze like a Shooting Star
I Am Ever-Present, Ever-Excellent, Ever like Eagle to Asgard
I Am Ever-Glowing, Ever-Flowing far from the Subpar
I Am VICTORIOUS, I Am ILLUMINED, for I Walk With The Stars
Droplets fell on my skin, rhythmically, from an unmeasurable height.
My hair stood up, but not out of fright.
I stayed still, and that marked the end of the night.
It didn't erode my soul, but solaced my spite.
As the warmer temperatures rise
Suddenly storms comprise
Sun faded
Winds blew mightier
Cluster of Clouds gathered
Darkened skies got darker
Lightning bolts after lightning bolts were streaking here and there
Rain poured unmeasurable
Thunder spoke
Humility came to a brief end in cool
Refreshing soak
Storm passed
Brief and swift
Damp ground
Quickly dried
Summer storm
Many more to follow
Summer fun
Never outdone
Oh poetry, you offered me a canvas.
You made it to have no bounds,
Unmeasurable, far beyond hectares.
As the deaf can hear, how my voice sounds.
Yet my buckets of paint are sealed.
If I paint how I feel,
Oh credibility, are you a victim I'll kill?
Displaying my lack of skill.
Kai, oh Kai, embrace your artistry.
Paint your own mystery.
Before time makes you history,
Fear not, fear not.
Where the heart belongs, you'll see victory.
Amiable and jolly, tireless but fun
The unerasable convivial one
Appreciative for what you rendered.
That is how you are remembered.
The fits of laughter that you gave once
As we beamed through your simple jest ,
The epicure side of you reminds us of you best.
When we relish anything you liked once,
Only the moments that can be clinged to,
Collection of the countless memories of you.
Bittersweet the journey was it.
But we can only reminisce,
The heaven that you made for us was bliss.
The strings of memories emit
Your love as it continues to glow in each of us.
Your presence can't be replaced,
With these heartwarming sketches.
You will always be cherished and adored.
Your unforgettable and unmeasurable aeon.
illumination radiance gleaming spectrum
the lightness of being reflected in meditation
karmic invigoration when Newton’s apple rises
above the false gravity of seeming impermanence
cause and effect in cosmic unmeasurable cycles
tantric proportions of spiritual enlightenment
the Buddha seduces the Virgin Mary in foreplay
of heavenly promises and miraculous passion
gleaming brilliance blinds all darkness
when luster emerges from devilish shadows
waiting for providence necessities action
one cannot light a fire without a spark
once ember glows momentum evolves
future and past merge into presence
suffering of suffering yields epiphanous healing
all chakras open and ready for more
the time will come when you visualize sounds
hear what plays out in your eyes
touch taste and smell the spell of their union
and become one with yourself and the Universe
Dazzled daze by the mere
thought of you fancied by
the hidden agenda reaching
unmeasurable heights of my
existence I’m totally taken
by the fascination notion
of having this feeling the
rest of my life why the sheer
embrace the quaint sense
of being in love now and
forever grace follows as
passion dance off the nape
of my back challenged by the
sleep number beds on sale
sore hip sore neck old or new
tell me true which one are you
sleep well rest well good night
Honesty has price
Unmeasurable trust gain
Gold in heaven earn.
RESPONSIBILITIES FREEDOM
The reality is to be schooled
By the decision that bring
Unmeasurable responsibilities
As this survey fountain of service
Because we grow
When we perceive a will
Which ensures others goals
For if not so
Resources like time
Would be consumed
By delicacies of pleasure
Selfish memories of who we are
Not whom they would have.
Edenic laughter of childhood
Caressed by carefree joy
Take us with you
To the land of unmeasurable
Mirth with endless possibilities
God bless the besties
Young and untroubled
Stirring up the puddle waves
Making mud pies
Walking circles atop sandbox tire
Arm in arm
No enemies
Friends Forever
