visually stunning pink

Striking without notice

Silence leaves one to wonder,
approval or not
Opinion or not.
Care enough to speak,
or don’t want to hurt feelings.
If asked or witnessing distress…
Social conscience should emerge to
converge,
Voice with compassion.

Having no clout.
What's that all about?
The quiet ones, always creating
Some doubt.
As to not being very stout.
Opinions on politics, current events
Get drowned out invariably liking
To an imperfect tense.
Never displaying a pretense.
What's in one’s mind can always be.
Defined.
Being heard for how one determines
Reasoning, deserves an audience that
Is open-minded towards one’s personality.

Not a day goes by without this recess. It's as if the mind and body conspired together to relieve and refresh at its own desire. I would like to suggest that these two guardians are steadfast in their defense of the day. You work hard and intense without a thought of giving yourself a rest. Suddenly, the effort of mind and body take over to put you in a suspended state of peace and tranquility. Warm thoughts appear of time with loved ones and friends, quick clips pass through of good times and maybe not so good. It's so gripping as to when you're awakened it seems so real, it stimulates the spirit wholly. The dream excursion leaves such a profound impression, it's a gem of serene simplicity that's rewarding and leaves you eager for the coming days rendezvous.

Off center seems to mean, odd
But an occasional clap is awed.
Being different can have its perks
Onlookers gawk only to find smartness lurks.
Magnificent, if eccentric, is your lightning

Often times so hard to
see
Daylight struggling
with no light.
Death issuing sentences
on a daily basis.
Adversity at home, work,
relationships,
Exists in the quagmire
of strife…
Outwardly challenging
resolutions.
Centered within the
chaos is perception,
This... is not an end
all.
Circling around life’s
sphere
Is pure essence of existing
essentials.
Many daily battles
health, human loss, self-doubt exposed,
As fate might have its
way.
Redefining family,
close relationships and self
Healthy thoughts drive the
recovery from the brink.
Throughout the noise
raining on our mural
The emergence of what

From the centrifugal
spin to the new authority.

Ever take a break from
the
Tempest residing in
your mind…
We rest our bodies for
a break,
But also, the mainframe
of our intellect
Needs a regular
time-out for evaluations.
Events and episodes can
ramble on continuously
Always resulting in the
same conclusion.
What may stress us the
most might have
Taken up valuable space
as an aberration.
Accepting certain
thoughts, problematic issues
As self-imposed can be
adverse.
Seek advice re-evaluate
sticking points
Grasp the realization that
it just might very well be, in your head.

Even though the scene
is not called upon,
The Nighttime Circus
puts on its show.
Freewheeling, never
concluding.
Funny how the
production never fails,
To repeat and resurface
without a queue.
Falling from the sky,
free falling is…
As exuberant as the
initial showing.
Pressing on the brakes
of a quick moving car,
Only to press down to
the floor.
How to stop? The cinema
moves to a different time and place,
Or awakeness
interrupts.
Carry on my repeating
photoplay maybe
Just maybe, the final
tale will reveal
Who's pushing the
buttons behind the enormous playhouse shroud.

Achieves a lot of attention.
May it be worthy or meddling,
decidedly with forthright good nature.
Lending a hand in times of crises.
Delivering goods to eat, offering monetary
assistance giving, caring advice.
Whether soft or hard message

Feeling stung by a bee? maybe…
Hail sincerity, never ambiguity.

Sometimes we all live in denial.
Brush off today, tomorrow is another day.
What may be lurking behind the passing
Is the matter at hand with a rude arrival.
Heed not the presentation but remember
The calendar never runs out of days.
Turn the face to the complication then,
Deliver the remedy without delay.
In most cases it is a
big deal.
With all the twists and
turns
The road sometimes
gives no warning.
One hand can be steady
then suddenly,
A gust of wind can jolt
the track
Does no good, to look
back.
Adjusting for another means,
two hands on the wheel.
Considering the notice,
should be heeded.
Sooner or later a twist
or turn might present some concern.
If by one, a dilemma is
introduced, dictates direction.
Late response offers
little interception.
Roadway seems
threatening, counterpoise is imperative.
Dually
handed, regains course firmly in control.
Dodging a tailspin needing
to regain composure,
The wheel has spoken.

A Stone Wall
May easily lead to a
downfall
Hardness that prevents
penetration
Challenges the will to
carry on
The mere essence of
stonework
Defies the average
roadblock
Is it worth
climbing?
Can one go
around?
Strength and insight
from
within
Speaks to the human
capacity
Finding another way
will save
the day
Will the new direction

Or be a pivotal

Never a small thing.
Step by step passing
Spring,
Flexibility of all

Family distant and not

Commands the callous diminishing.

This can be said in
many instances, since we were born it’s a constant persistence.
Figuring out character
traits is a huge subsistence. Eventually being diligent and real becomes a
personal existence.
Everywhere you turn
that phrase can be attained, hopefully with the least resistance.
At work on a task or
home on a project, with the urging of your partners insistence.
Hopefully, at a ripe

much can be done.
Invigorating

Abundant

It’s

Just
an open mind to approach
A
brand-new day, hoping this start,
Will

That

Becomes a sensation that
Is recognized clearly

Despair need not dictate mindset,
Sense of humility and sincerity.
Orchestrate rectification

To clash.
Opposite personalities

No need to start in a
fury or a scurry, no need to
hurry. This all makes sense
if time is taken to
plan the steps taken.
No matter where you are
a smooth entry into any day
leads to composure. Father
time means everything, like
a timekeeper to a
futbol match, the boss that’s watching his timepiece
or the timing officials
at a marathon race-
we can be our own timing
gear.
Plot the days ahead, as
precisely as possible- priorities drive the agenda
We wind our body watch
ticking like a musically tuned metronome.
Family, work or social
events all beat to our movements.
Within the framework of
those obligations each item devours its needed allotment of minutes to which it
ends.
The only way to live
the day, is by chaperoning the clock and nimbly watching it tick away.

It’s not always some fun;
hence you say:
“Offering help my
friend!”
During a stirring chat
with any good friend
I can tell when a favor
is needed.
Friendly neighbor:
Collect my mail for the next few days off,
To diffuse… Days gone
by,
it is done.
Friendly co-worker:
Can you cover my shift,
I’m behind in school?
The day draws down, it
is done.
Family tie:
Provide patronage for
our little one, a night out
Is imperative.
Coverage is completed;
it has been done.
When something is
“said,” in a case of a need,
It very well has a
purpose, to solicit a helping hand
From someone of trust.
Listen with an open heart,
understanding their position.
Comply if you will, always
remember your word and principles
Are on display.
It surely embodies the spirit
to be the one,
That follows the
“said,” and gets it “done.”
Not only for the misses
Sometimes goes along
with good wishes
Plenty to go around
can’t miss the
Little Heirs and
assigns
The moments of giving
and comfort towards siblings
Leads to skipping any
misgivings
Husband and wife, get past
some strife
Peers at work benefit
from your walk of life
Either is appreciated
endless would be great
Up to us in making
sure, it never comes…
Too late!

The Little Things
That can bring the most cheers
A friendly face of an unknown can mark a day.
A gesture of support, of a life decision
To have a stress-free day at work
There's a lot at play.
Hugs and kisses from a grandchild
Lifts consciousness and spirit.
A slow drive alone, reminiscing
About the first car, first kiss
Produces gratitude and zeal
Obliging the journey’s heartfelt past and present.

Gotta Know When
To play your cards.
Instinctively you can gain rewards
Keep them close at the ready
A steady hand is worth plenty.

At that point in time being
caught in the twine,
Undoubtedly, that lapse…will break the deal.

It seems more times than not social settings get the best of me, never the entertainingly gabby type in any backdrop, tough to navigate.
As the internal time clock ticks away,
Be it family, friends or neighbor’s interactions words and stories have their way of repeating the cycle that always drones on.
Talk and chatter are fine for the garrulous!
What about the lone introvert that stays inwardly, less revealing and private in disposition? Being in the minority for sure lends to disquietude.
All being said and done, voices will continue their path, as the walls provide no escape.

Situations full of neglect
Working past overtime
Hardly increasing a dime.
Kids in dreamland, need to be home
Sometime.
Wife’s thinking, “need me time,”
Schooling, cooking, tending to
All matters wearing thin, blending
Both sides of the union.
Patience has its timetable
Can seem never ending
Father believes in direction.
Flawed evaluation,
Time away leads to decay.
At some point cannot stay
Lost opportunities of insights,
As life’s progressions evaporate.

A dream hunt can wear you down. Beware of the naivety that can possibly take hold. This calls for one to be extremely bold. Dreams are made up of hopes and hard work, diligence and the sense of no turning back. Best scenario is the dream comes true.
One needs to maintain the sensibility of knowing and accepting when
the chase needs to pull down the curtain. The realization that either it is
achieved or will not be accomplished is a true test of wisdom, courage and
strength
Priorities that live on the path must prevail. Fooling oneself is a
disastrous waste of time and effort, especially when others are depending on
your success. To chase is realistic, to be real is the authentication of the
true self.

Sometimes a need to fix is ordered.
Differences of opinions and misunderstandings take on of a life of its own.
Who's to say is the bigger or the chosen person to initiate?
Priority rules, necessity dictates person, time and place.
One needs to pick up the hammer drive in the first nail to begin the reviving of a link.
As fences and time bear their brunt of attrition, so can relationships.
All it needs is to tend with an unbarred heart, accepting the tools of benevolence.

Don’t look now but is that
A stye in the eye?
It looks uneven could it
Be a shift in attitude?
Or maybe a frown and
A squint of discontent!
Hopefully it’s not a deviation
Of 20/20 balance.
Upon examining closely into this
Quandary, it seems that
The vision is as skeptical as…
It’s identity!
