picking up or dropping off

BLINK
Green Light --
Farewells strung
Dawn whisks in a flash
Lost among zooms of speed
Exiting from my blank life
“ Memories throb in empty beats.”

chakras enable, blockages disable
each fear we nurture represents a blockage
nonchalant eye makes our consciousness stable
renouncing wealth, lust, power and feral rage
no earth agenda remains on our table
then ego recedes and our soul comes of age
kundalini zooms through the central tunnel
and grace in-pours from the very same funnel

My...freshly baked Persian lamb
dipped in lemon pulp
moist lips and mouth smooching meat
as berry sauce zooms--
sunday's festive treat
it's cheat d a y

Watched “Man Of Steel” last night
Reminded me of my own super powers
Don't want to brag or anything like that
But this role is not for cowards
My mission is should I choose to accept it
To rid this old world of sadness
Not an easy task the way things are going
But SUPERMAN can end this madness
He does it with love lightness and laughter
Acts silly plays the part of a clown
Always upbeat and ready with the funnies
So people can't possibly be down
He doesn't expect a reward or great fame
Just to know the sadness he's defeated
Then zooms up high into the heavens above
To return where ever he's needed

Myrtles Plantation has twenty-two rooms
Ghosts travel through there, some kicking in zooms
Identical parlors for women and men
Haunted house tour here is about to begin
Don’t come to Louisianna and ignore this tourist sight
The nightmares she will give you will last at least one night
Poltergeist just headed down by the silvery cold pond
Six hundred acres of which ethereal spirits and ghosts are very fond.

A black sportscar driven by a new driver
Mistakes a two-lane road for a three-lane road
The driver of the car zooms in between two other cars
They both pull off, shaken
One of the drivers is an off-duty police officer.
He goes to the other driver to see if he is okay.
The men discuss what happened.
Did you get a good look at the driver?
Neither of them can describe him
Maybe he was young?
I think he had a red cap.
Before the police officer leaves
The fifteen-year-old girl asks, “Did you want his license plate number?”
Until this moment she had been excluded from the manly conversation.

Gripped with freedom gear
Driving well, sans fear
Our son whirls in joyous spree
Quelling my heart’s shout
Smiting mother's doubt...
He champions victor’s glee!
In special wheelchair
There he zooms with flair
Gesturing triumphant sign…
Oh, we feel so blest
Since his spastic pest
Makes us gain God's grace* divine.
*2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

November 8 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on John 11-12
Key Verse – John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HE IS
THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
Praise be to God for He is the resurrection and the life:
Saving our souls with His security-seal
Sanctifying our spirits along His statute-standard
Satisfying our service by His sufficient supply-support
Sustaining our stewardship upon His Scripture-statutes
Strengthening our supplication through His steadfastness
John 12:7-8 Praise be to the Lord for
teaching us to have Him always:
Trusting Him amidst crises
Thanking Him for His compassion
Toiling for Him despite challenges
Triumphing in His calling and caring
Treading upon His championship charge
John 12:46 Praise be to the Saviour
for being our light against:
Zeal where greatness pretends
Zenith where godlessness prevails
Zones where gloominess pervades
Zooms where goodness is perverted
Zest where greediness against grace pesters. Amen!

Meditative eyes
enliven heart’s sighs,
seeking to embrace,
outpourings of grace.
When heart lotus blooms,
rapture within zooms,
as we so become,
one with love’s bliss hum.
Before heaven’s gate,
what is our blink rate,
in the heart of God;
sight that leaves us awed?
Love and light fills form,
birthing a bliss storm,
within body urn,
where in joy we burn.
Having been, so known,
this sight to us shown
no wonder we hope
to again elope.
These words which we write,
of soul’s wingless flight,
is for each to claim,
in their life’s endgame.

Summer’s in the rearview mirror,
re-experience it at your peril.
it’ll only distract you now, and maybe depress you.
Summer shifts your orbit, from classrooms and remote zooms,
to lollygagging by beaches and snuggling in cozy hotel rooms.
As intense and vital as last summer was - as they all are -
it’s already blurring in memory.
Soon only the memory of sensations will remain,
like the warmth of the breeze and the sun on my skin
and sigh the warmth of a certain boy’s skin on my skin.
Those flashbacks ache, late at night, like phantom limbs.

words float through the air
one dive bombs me like a kamikaze pilot
I grab for it, but miss
it chuckles uncontrollably
the word was laugh
I roll my eyes
then hear buzzing in my ear
mosquito! Dang!
I smack at it
it zooms away, out of my reach
I see it was the word bother
laugh and bother
bother and laugh
what can I do with this?
don’t comes by and bites my shoulder
don’t bother to laugh I say
Then I do laugh
Because the words have bested me yet again

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love.”
~ Sophocles, Greek Poet
Love lotus within toroidal heart blooms,
effusing a blissful effervescence,
ignition that unendingly resumes,
revealing that light is soul’s quintessence,
which if we embrace, rapture within zooms
and we imbibe fragrance of truth’s essence.
The nectar of pure bliss flows through our veins
and bliss is the highest octave of love,
divine magnetism that cleanses soul’s stains,
provided head and heart act hand in glove,
free from pain inflicted by ego’s chains,
invoking God’s grace that pours from above.
God is love and light, dwelling in our heart ~
Each breath sees therein, bliss ignition start
