If it's not too late
and you can relate
I'll state my position
as my fate I await
destiny or volition
as it is writ
in the fullness of time
the fan it will hit
meanwhile I'll
follow my dream
go against the flow
and swim upstream
Within the fortress
Of her own volition
His likeness is everywhere
Maybe it's a ghost
But it's a powerful one
She can't
Perceive it
Hands-on the chest
She can now hear
Stillness
However, this is mere
A brief respite
That's where it ends
In a state of alertness
Of the subconscious
As
She is gasping for air
His doppelganger
Oxidizes

Volition steering attention
Our actions of doership
Let currents divine gain traction
Making love our flagship
In childlike wonderment
Each breath astonishment
Imbibe the bliss current
Poor option
Volition

Quietus
Bluegrass banjos
fueling the vision
Death
is hard to take
sometimes
but it’s not
like we
ever had
a choice in the matter
It happens
of its own volition
Sitting with stillness
seasons come without my help
Mother guides herself
grass grows flowers bloom birds sing
Nature Nirvana Rebirth
we can
collectively
show compassion to help
the needy to uplift them from
squalor;
they do not know why they suffer,
put in such condition,
not of their own
wishing!

A clean slate onset
With the superb volition
That states out a provenance
Bring the best of you
Assume the reins of your life
Allow the world know your worth
