Ever Wonder

The beauty of life,

all its warmth from the sun

to the person.

Radiating warmth, humility, and

being humane.

Ready to give a helping hand,

a lifeline of words or music.

 

Ever wonder what it will be like…

If all people are detached from each other,

no connectivity, sharing, thoughtfulness-

loyalty, commitment, dedication, or civility.

 

Coldness, a likeness, of freezing emptiness.

This plight can easily become commonplace,

with indifference from within.

The only wonder then would be,

            Who do we blame for living with this herein?

Comical

Hopefully it doesn't relate to anatomical.

Personality getting attention, sometimes diabolical.

Circumstances may seem periodical.

It's just karma submitting... It's ironical.

When is comical simply being farcical.

Time to check reality, it appears extremely illogical.

That's What You Think

 

I could agree, but not without a

wink.

Compelling words with expressions can be very,

convincing.

But believing in one's intention on 1st blush,

foolhardy.

Common chit-chat can be very

irrelevant.

Nuts and bolts from worthy discourse builds

plausibility.

Opinions matter, not confused with facts.

Viewpoints have their place, no pressure to

embrace.

Keep in mind the voice you share,

Should not necessitate demanding

repair.

Playing Both Sides

Should we call you, Jekyll or Hyde…

When it comes to friendships and

loyalty

It’s not about, as far as the eyes can

see.

Being up front with people as a

whole

Brings much ACCLAIM, as far as eyes can

see.

Jekyll or Hyde doesn’t offer much

pride.

As pomp and circumstance occur in

time

Reputation whispers you’d give it up on a

dime.

As shallow as the breeze that

blows

Important to note, sooner or later will be

exposed.

Truth revealed explaining you’re eerily, openly

transposed.

End of the line socially, one becomes,

decomposed.

Morning of the Day

Will I have a real say,

as to what

the day’s events

may convey?

Earthly communications

at work.

Happiness, is the mode

of the day.

Wouldn’t you concede

to have been gifted,

such an offering?

Often and indeed.

Two in One

Is it possible to be that spun?

A duet of sorts, hearts, and souls,

Expressing love at all levels:

Interest, concern, dedication, and conviction.

 

At the seat of self, gushing out spiritual

Realities, that are unfailing and resolute.

Rhyming beats connected, treating others well,

Living truthfully and practicing wholeness.

 

Putting them side by side, pulsing intrinsically,

What a joy to witness, beholden as one.

The Minds of Many

 Interestingly enough, causes an enigma.

Everyone has their own opinion stated as fact.

Sitting so-called experts on a panel,

In the same room, variances erupt.

The effects of salt, sugar, wine on individuals

consensus is vacant.

All things considered, thinking minds

are vital.

Some people's facts are sometimes actually

contorted to fit their chatter similar

to a lawyer performing to the jury.

As the web has helped us become

more astute on many topics,

one must consider the sources and develop

an analytical persona.

Being ready to fend off the social barristers

that at any given moment can

and with complete self-authority,

bang the gavel.

The Impulse

 

No feelings of repulse

The inclination so strong

Need to seek remedial guidance.

Emotions over emotions

Senses at a boiling peak

No one around to interject,

Grab hold with all might.

Override yourself saying,

“Hey, have some restraint,

drop those shiny new Sunglasses!”

Tree rack is full…

Engage Then Behave

Once the long trek of conqueror

is established

take stock, courtship has a goal of

lasting.

Depleting your best up front is not advised…

to suddenly quiet down.

Gaining interest through wit and candor

needs honing.

The gift of gab can quickly become

shallow.

A voice of intelligence, ambitiousness, kindness…

deeds must follow.

When all the principles are clearly aligned

imperative to perpetually follow,

living the design.

Waiting It Out

 

In the beginning there was plenty of doubt

All we care to do is get out.

Makes no sense to scream and shout

Weather has its timely clout.

It travels on a most certain route

Pouring down wetting and drenching,

The body and senses with extreme

Wrenching.

Testing patience at every stream

No mindful outrage needed.

Simply hold on and believe,

I’ll carry on unimpeded.

Streaming Water

One of the most splendid calming sounds within our choosing

is the eloquence of streaming water.

Rolling over rocks and sediment it invites us

to leave our grounds.

Just like the sands of time, running water

will take over our minds

thoughts of our current and past hikes through life.

The natural innocence and soothing memories

reminding us of our journey

shaking the reality of life.

With its beauty and unrelenting flow

Can lead us to wonderful evocative wanderings,

without a care for the under tow.

Vacate

Attempting to save a relationship can repeatedly

hit, a stone wall.

The lack of cooperation directs one to admit

 to discharge then,

vacate becomes open to accept.

Inspiration

 Flashes such as these ignite

senses, creativity and wonder.

Natures bloom, on the cherry blossoms

visually stunning pink or white flowers.

A rising sun reflecting off the ocean,

waves reacting to its energy, smashing or

sliding onto the shore, split personalities

tumble in tune.

Striking without notice and imperative to

endorse the tidings and morph this, signal…

                            into Life.

Silence

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.

Being Left Out

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.

Forty Winks and a Day

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.

Limerick:Eccentric

 

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 rod.

Blind Trust

If you assume trust is in place

wise of you to think and embrace,

a thorough review of honesty.

It’s a must do to avoid insincerity,

 averting the miscalculation of about-face.

In The Midst

 

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 matters most breaks away,

From the centrifugal spin to the new authority.

It's In Your Head

 

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.
