The Garden WithinI may have missed the glittering prize,
The fleeting gold that dims the skies.
But deep within, a stillness grows,
A garden where the true light flows.
The noise outside, a restless sea,
Where storms of envy seek to be.
Yet in my heart, a quiet spring,
Where hope and healing softly sing.
The workday’s battlefield of spite,
Where shadows lurk to steal the...

YOU WILL KNOW YOUR DADYou will know your dad
when you too became a dad!
You shall feel glad
when you realize, he was your launch pad!
You will appreciate his wisdom
when you shoulder responsibilities of the kingdom!
You will realize his care
when he was dissolved into the air!
You will dearly miss him
when alone, against the tides of life, you swim!
You shall...

Heaven Is Not Where You Think It Is
When you die
you may be burnt
better than those
that Zionists burn alive
you may be buried
in the soil of the universe
at best
may you come back as a blooming rose
giving hope to all who admire the beauty
of natures mystic gifts

Broken NailsThese broken nails
Not pretty to look at,
My triumphs, my fails
Mean more than that
Been scratching away
Digging for some end,
By night, by day …
‘Til they begin to bend
Once polished to a shine
… Is perfectly cracked,
With pulled hair of mine
And my nerves wracked
All glitter, all gold …
Neither one can stay,
But, broken nails, I'm told
Says something anyway.

Kya keemat hai khushi kiKya keemat hai khushi ki, kabhi socha hai tumne?
Ek muskurahat ke peeche kitni tooti hui ummeedein hoti hain.
Ek pal ki roshni ke liye,
Kayi andheron se guzarna padta hai.
Khushi milti hai...
Magar muft nahi.
Kabhi apni khamoshi bechni padti hai,
Kabhi kisi apne ki yaad mein raat bhar ro kar
Subah ek jhooti hasi pehnni padti hai.
Zindagi ke bazaar mein,
Jahaan...

TruthTruth is not for everyone --
some prefer lies...some prefer
dyes, and not natural soul color.
Some prefer love~ and some just mouth
the word...never to be heard nor
felt deeply nearer the heart. It's like that with
most things, the prose and cons of openly
living as opposed to falsely revealing:
Some contrive a story-line, while other
authors...

Price-lessWhite fluffy bunny, finger puppet, my grandson tries on for size.
Hopping off his finger and into the palm of my hand.
He checked price, told me to put toy back on shelf; full size cost less.

Why Use Foul LanguageAre nasty words used to express emotions to a heighten degree
Am i suppose to understand you any more than you understand me
Vocabulary words isn't hard to learn and to use
I can use words that aren't so nasty and still blow a fuse
Stand up comedy isn't the same due to foul language
When it comes to being...

AILet’s be clear! “AI” is plagiarism --
all grammar checkers, any writing aid,
major editing program, can be a form of
plagiarism...laziness at the least in my
humble opinion. Someone who writes
a biographical outline, a story outline
of any kind, and then hires a ghost writer,
or major team of professional editors, to
bring about the final, flawless product,
because...

The ArrivalThe hidden one moves in silence
with violent footsteps
pounding the pavement
While grounding itself to disengage
from grooves designed to uproot
it found its level
Leveling to find balance between
the liquid & solid only enhanced
its brolic nature
There's no frolicking between
the halves described in nature
for this is a serious
matter of things
This being flows through a world
akin to dreams
but is awake...

Living in my mind,
This is my “Dawning Time”
My healing Season,
Near completion.
Thank you, Lord,
For your perfect
Timing.
In my waiting,
Your hand,
Maturing.
I emerge,
Through your
Strength,
Captured by
Your Love.
Hope, fulfilled.
In my Winter,
Cometh Spring…
