For My Great-Great-Great Grandchildren
(In the Year 2124)
Hey kids!
It’s grandpa Wally from way beyond the grave
I know my time here has passed
But if you read my stories you’ll have a blast
You may have a lot of ancestors but I hope to be your fave
I don’t know what your generation will experience
But I’m sorry for all the things we muffed up here in the past
Just remember that time is always fleeting
As recollections are retreating
Understanding that nothing ever really lasts
Except love…
Love is the only thing you can hold on to
Express it...

Missed It By this Much
What is a deadline,
but an imaginary construct
devised by aristocracy.
to keep the peasants busy.
Personally I enjoy them.
I thrill at the pressure
of cutting them fine.
So much so
that I do it all the time.
Just for fun I’ll miss one.
Maybe intentionally stumble
and let it pass
Or procrastinate on purpose,
and hang back awhile
Just to show I’m humble…
like the rank and file.
But I do it with style
and Cheshire Cat smile
So, I did some etymology
On it’s sobering origin

i’m sure; i live in awe
I live in awe
of every tattoo that will draw
on your skin, as unique as you are,
I live in awe
of all the beauty that you saw,
your smiles, your being so raw.
I live in awe
of every child that will soar
because you’re the one they adore
When I see your coming through the door
it hits me like waves hit the shore
feeling serene, so gentle and I’m sure.
I’m sure you’re my mentor
I know you by heart like a child it’s folklore
I’m sure I’ll forever like you to your core…

Surprise guests
Are you coming to my party? It's going to be so great!
Just walk on in, or run, or catch a lift with someone's mate.
Two friends are at the station - bravo, let's go and pick them up;
we'll bring them to the party and then let them choose a cup.
There's a flag out in the garden so you know where it will be;
There'll be such fun that you won't want to stop, I guarantee!
I'll put on games and serve great food for sure, but first a guess:
who's here as guest of honour and is going to address
the reason for this gathering, so joyous...

Phantasm Turbo Flux
A multi layered lofty screen of mist
did what it could to hide the moon and stars,
but the mix was a scene so beauty kissed
I wondered at theurgy in isobars;
a transubstantiation of rare gas
Into astral argent and lunar gold
as spagyric miracle come to pass
in the blear of dungeon undercroft cold
sweeping a dew of dreams across the sky;
a net to drag the slumbrous aerosphere
like Morpheus with a fathomless sigh
adding still more depth every haunting year
to the stupor strata of humankind...
a substrate...for the...

Engravings
I saw you showing up in your rainbow clothes.
I saw,that the time we met.
Your eyes looked black and white,despite your clothes and smile.
They say eyes are the windows of a soul.
But if I am able to read them,am I a ghoul?
We spent a lot of time together.
And I couldn't help,but notice something lurking in the shadows.
I asked,are you okay?
But you did not reply.
But trust me,when I say.
Undress and show me your layers,emotions.
Your wounds and mental scars.
I'll heal your soul,with my hand upon your chest. ...

SPIRIT OF THE ELDERS
They say that the elderly are the most wise ones in the world, as they can reach you in ways you will never truly understand 🤔 For it's a very inspiring and uplifting, perspective of how the moment of absence, can remain intact after so long ago 🤨 For we all have our own personal moments, that we have to reach back in time and remember, the unspoken words said in the dark of the silent of the night, for they say when it rains it pours ☔ changing feelings sometimes dying is better than living but know that it's not over when you lose it's over when you QUITE...

Ignore Naysayers
It is not really about listening to negativity or toxicity
But having mental resilience
While remaining stable in our personal convictions
While staying focused on objectives
Even in the face of skeptics
The disapproval and disbelief of others is not in our control
Therefore, it is not something we need for validation
For true peace comes from within
So it can’t be broken by those who berate us
It’s not really about being facetious
But more about keeping to decorum and restraint

What It's All About
elevating consciousness
breathing in and out
sitting by a river
bullrushes all about
blowing in a gentle breeze
bending, letting go
a transcendent moment,
going with the flow
penetrating consciousness
within the all around
where life is manifesting
even underground
and too in the atmosphere
as well in between
everything that's coming
and everything that's been -
becoming one with everything
in and out and in

In The Heat Of Creation
There's beauty in this world to see
A smiling morning and a sad sunset
And the flat waters on the calm sea
And a hidden bay, for a lonely boat
There's beauty in the leafed trees
much proud, they rustle in the wind
When tempted gently by a soft breeze
They give a soft sigh as a yes hint
And when the birds flock and migrate
South or north, for warmth or cold
For fine sunshine, a climate temperate
Nonstop-voyage it's what we are told
The lakes limpid, and waters placid
And striders glide,...

An Air of Mystery
Like a card game
Slowly revealing the cards
With strategy and poise
One can pique interest with mystery and intrigue
As others will take notice
Gaining respect and curiosity
Being a little reserved
Becomes an art form
Between a slow revelation and concealment
Keeping an air of mystery about ourselves
Discretion is an important aspect of our lives
Being a little enigmatic is bound to be appealing
May be even fascinating
Being selective with how much and what to share
This restraint protects the core ...
