A Feast of The Mind

The food of the mind

The meal of the soul

The feast of the spirit

Necessary source

We choose what we feed

Our core every day

We may think and feel

Through scraps and leftovers

Through high-quality or overpriced meals

gourmet chaos or nourishing feasts

the plain lessons of everyday treats

Shall we practice fasting

overfed hungers

On the scale of numbers

what you feed your mind matters

In One Hour

In one hour

a mother gives birth

someone takes their last breath

someone graduates

while someone’s failure permeates

One person sleeps

while another awakes

another human diagnosis

ill fitted prognosis

twisting the economies

plagues of humanities

sickness in the soul

health in another

healed and birthed

more than once in many forms

and we call this life

perhaps our long strayed wives

while another falls in love

and turns winters into spring

intoxicating summer breeze

the birds sing

the tides come and go

the waters of one side

can be the droughts of another

do not dispair, we all cycle

because life is forever changing

we are never really stagnant

life is forever turning tables

in all its whimsical forms

that discriminates not one

in the 60 minutes of the hour

Emotions in Words

Nostalgic quotes

seeping through pores

flowing words

river that flows

trespassing emotions

unwavering devotions

consuming erosion

persuading contortion

twisted commotion

intoxicated extraction

submissive action

turned into passion

emotions in words

Love is Peace

In the curves of a feather

In the breath of a wind

In the Allie’s on a street

Grounded country feet

Beyond turbulent sorrows

Into most peaceful waters

Is where you’ll find my mind

At ease

Because love is peace

Creating your own peace in turbulent times 🕊️🫶🏽

Silence or Words

Out of words

Plenty of Words

Too much said

Not enough said

Plenty of room

For misunderstanding

Not enough space

for silence or words

All that was said was words

All that remained silence

Still, not one person understood

not the words, not the silence

because sometimes we don’t care to see

sometimes, we rather not see

Seasons Change

Spring into Summer

Summer to Fall

Fall into Winter

Winter into Spring

Different Seasons?

Same Seasons?

They happen every year

Cycling ever clear

Seasons are like rivers

The Water looks the same

We never touch the same water more than once

Healing Things

Heal your mother wound

Be bold, blossom and bloom

Get over your own scorn

Transcend and mourn

Revive and be more

Heal your father scars

So they don’t become prison bars

It’s easy to blame

But much more fulfilling to aim

For a better version

Of what you should actually believe

The life you are entitled to live

Dia de Los Muertos

The first breath of a newborn

is relief in the ears of a father

to a mother, a new life form

counting all fingers and toes

each hair, follicle, skin fold

immersed in the scent

of a new baby born

the last breath yet to mourn

knowing life is a cycle

to appreciate life

death must be life’s norm

one breath exhaled death

in a breath, inhaled life

because death is part of life

That thing called Love

Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com

In the morning’s dew

or the evening’s breeze

in that crooked smile

or that beam of sunlight

in the midnight hour

romantic howl

or the bird that sings

lullaby love brings

in the essence of every crevice

not one thing unturned

because love, is a permeable thing
