With the morning dew
I rise
thankful for each breath, each sight, each scent
The fact that I can move my limbs
enunciate thankful musical hymns
Simple things my younger self depreciated
Simple things my older self appreciates
Morning Things
selfreflections
Faith’s Embrace
Sometimes Faith
Is all that holds me
When despair knocks at my door
Anxiety burdens my core
Overwhelm beckons my soul
Inability drowns my existence
Sometimes
In those moments
Life the enforcer
Pushing us to pause
The unknown is the abyss
But the unseen becomes wings
Parallel opponents
Synchronized components
Cyclical Muse
That carries me over
One more day
I Believe
Men-Oh-Pause
Men-Oh-Pause
Hell a Clause
Saddle affection
Deceiving perception
The body transforms
The mind unfolds
Fogginess sworms
Mental roller coaster
Un purchased ticket
Luv Duv Skipping
Inner Core on Fire
Lacking Desire
Thinning Hair
Lower Abdomen Swell
Did I loose my keys?
Inner Child Screams
On and on it seems
Men-Oh-Pause
Because maybe tomorrow
The Clock Rewinds
The wrinkles fade
I’ll dye my hair
And maybe than
I’ll be the perfect Scene
Maybe
Candle Light
The flicker of a candle
Insignificant handle
That takes a room from dark to light
When every corner seems obscure
Your flickering shadows adorn
Providing light and even warmth
How insignificant a candle must be
To light an entire room
Unnoticed beautiful flame
Scented soothing aromas
Filling my nostrils and senses
Manifestation of places and faces
Spiritual haven
Wings of the Raven or Crow
Ancestral flow
In your light my spirit grows

Internal War or Peace
The Strength of a Pause
Pause when you are angry
Pause when you are sad
Pause when you are happy
Pause when you are informed
Pause if you don’t know
Pause if you are hostile
Pause if you are blessed
Pause if you are stressed
Pause instead of assume
Pause and don’t abuse
Pause when judging harshly
Pause when thoughts are binding
Pause always Pause
Sometimes, we just need to Pause
be thankful, appreciate, soak in, and bathe
in the glorious blessing
Pause and dissect the turbulent
less than
Pause and Simply Breath
In One Breath
In one breath, we take oxygen
In one breath, a baby is born
In one breath, we speak
In one breath, we relax
In one breath, ecstasy expressed
In one breath, the lungs expand
In one breath, molecules work
In one breath, life transforms
Insignificant hidden action
Life-altering transforming function
In One Breath
To Be Humane
City lights glow
The wind subtly blows
People walking the streets
In a hurry to work, they go
or perhaps to eat or feast
going home or simply walking
sitting on a sidewalk, panting
would you pass by a homeless
or give them something for free
because they are a sister or brother, after all
they once walked the same streets
and still will, long after we all go home
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
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 🕊️🫶🏽
The Grind
