Awake

Awake

Sentient being

From your nightly slumber

The unconscious mind

Director of hands

Feet

Movement

The inner thought rumbler

Conduit from the Divine

Daylight is upon us!

The sun shines

Rain

The sustenance of life

The Universe provides

Forget for a moment

Thine strife

Awake!

Dear time traveler

Be mindful

Then get on with the vagaries

Be strong!

Right from wrong

Navigating the peaks and valleys

Of your own unique

Challenging

Finite Life

Prior to your expiry

Calm

Respire!

Enjoy

You belong!

When I Was a Boy

When I was a boy

And I goes to school

All my classmates say

Each day

You gots to be cool!

If you wear them Skippies

Then you’ll known aroun’ town as a fool!

Catch the Cooties

You hair will turn blue!

The Maypole dance!

Hopeful

Bashful children

Performing traditional step-dancing

Child hand-in-hand

Gym time

Play time

Outside

Navigate

Assistant Principal Freeze!

His bullhorn rules!

You must cease!

Innocence so powerful

Life was such a joy!

When I was a boy

Many exciting so many adventures to pursue!

Music

Music

Enhances mood

Well-being

Set out on a string

Sound enters

As an audition

To the living being

Notes fill the Universe

The anxiety freeing

Content creations

Dance sensations

Mood deviations

Transmit subliminally to The Sentient One

Jazz

Rock n roll

Swing

Pop

Rap

Opera

All bring sonic affect

Lend gravitas

To the emotive feeling

Levitating the mind

As the most pulsating first time

Music has begun

The Hell Gate Bridge

The Hell Gate Bridge

River so inviting!

As a summer swim trip

Yet upon careful inspection

Of the whirling drip

The swirling whirlpools!

Can certainly make you slip

Your hold on life!

Forgo the strife

Safety and good health remain the highest prize

Enjoy the scenic sight

From beautiful Astoria Park

Comfortable and relaxing

Satisfaction!

Where Are The Good Memories

Where are the good memories?

Of memorable days

That have gone by

As a photograph taken

Shot in the night

Whom hath erased

Such grace

Why do they not take flight?

Where are the good memories?

Blindfolded

Buried

Blurried

Under some strange elusive light

Where are the good memories?

How could I have lost sight?

They did once exist

With I amidst

The splendor of our life

Where are the good memories?

Within my heart

I trust

Beats for all of us

As the steady flowing of the ocean tide

The One

And the Universe

Opposed to perverse

Perseverance

Love

The courage to reneverse

Create the place

Where grace and love!

As the heralded place

Eden above

Transformationally!

Reside

The Salesman and The Artist

The Salesman

Always has a price

The Artist creations

Has what some consider a vice

A preternatural warning device?

Never give up!

Not even to think twice?

Pray

Someday

Heaven will suffice

Work extremely hard!

The pay always matches the sacrifice?

The Broker sells

Production impels

Cultifying the economic social and political artifice

The One

Who resides

Under the sun

Decides the Path

Societys’ wrath?

To optimize

Or terrorize

The path towards the past?

Or hath a new future begun?

Teefus McGeefus

Teefus McGeefus
Need chompers to bite
Kept choking on his chow
His missing teeth dining blight
Farmer’s dentist assumed?
Good ole boy!
Could afford Dental
Medical and Sight
With no health plan
Availed the working man
Toiling Teefus
Age and Health
Were quite ripe
To wither
Grow rotten
Dying
Yet Teefus McGeefus
Never did gripe
Attending church
Each Sunday noon

Tho his facial expression unhewn
In his best pressed pinstripes

A Day at the Beach

Photo by Rebeca Gonu00e7alves on Pexels.com

Blue open seas

Lustrous golden sand

Rollicking waves!

In repetetive bursts

Licking at the land

Frolickers of all types

Setting up a parcel of space for the band

A day at the beach!

Leisure can be so grand

Warm sun-rays expand

Consciousness

Evolution and Entropy be stilled!

Repose alongside

The leisure of child/ woman/ man!

Beach chairs

Towels

Endless sand

Nature’s effect to internal fortitude

Rebuild

Universal medicine woman/ man
