Good luck
I thought I was dreaming when my computer threw out a mass of information, mostly about things of scant interest, but when it said I had three thousand pages of words on WordPress, I looked up the WP and it was true
My fingers are bigger than the rest of me, and so are my feet, which are bothersome and blue with diabetes, but my hands are milky white and my fingers have short nails in a way perfect for one who writes poetry but not able to sell anything
But soldier on for my benefit, it keeps me sane. Had I been sporty, I could have played golf like Trump. I...

when my heart is engaged
you're never temporary
you...are a part of me
& if one day you should depart
a piece of you will remain
your essence...like osmosis
inspiring & adding to my enirety
as you saturate
becoming an eternal part of me
& I'm grateful
for whatever time we are given
hold very dear these moments we share
embedding them into my foundation
strengthening my pillars
building with compassion
& connection
more solid...ever better
together... ...

Gifts Of Life
Not awaken while living
To the silent breath flowing
To the mystery of hearing
To the wonder of seeing
Not awaken while living
To the divine weight of giving
To the hidden Hands us holding
To the heavenly call “Live with meaning”
Not awaken while living
To how fragile life is and fleeting
To how precious God’s many a blessing
To His Grace and Mercy we are witnessing
When deeply shaken
As life suddenly taken
Aware to be mistaken
The heart, to see would be able
How we are gently held...

EM and the tariff
EM and the damned tariff
A middle-class newspaper much read by the arty set in England is worried that American workers will suffer during the tariff epoch. I don’t think so, it is not the worker who buys Armani suits or other luxury items, they stick to jeans and t-shirts, the way Elon Musk dresses when pretending to be one of the lads, should they need a Chinese toaster that has gone up in price, the likelihood is that they will stick with the old toaster
It is the middle class, the pretentious ones, who will suffer because the price of leather goods and jewelry is suddenly...

News and friends
She sends me photos of people I don’t know, not one or two but too many; why should I take any interest in people smiling at the camera
What is flabbergasting is why does she sends me photos of friends she has on another continent, from a place I do not wish to know
She is a tiring person into healthy things, tea drinking, and beneficial cacao from a plant in Burma, either that or she has few real friends
We read of a mountain village where dwellers have learned to live in peace with bears that roam the streets after dark, looking for sweet food

In your hands I give to you
Here we are still not really truly understanding, that it's true that no one is sent, to you by chance or accident. For I give to you my love and support and affection. For I give to you my love and support and encouragement, just because we have a connection that we can build, together a special bond. For I give to you my commitment and show you my consistency and strength of my perseverance to you. For I give to you from my hands to yours my undying love with respect and honor and trust with happiness. For sure we have history of time well spent, just getting to know each other 💕...

racism
Racism
Two men broke into a shop, one is white, the other is African, as we cannot say black because that is a racist slur
The pair was caught and sent before a magistrate. The white guy was sentenced to two years in jail. Being white, he was seen as privileged, although he was a poor working-class
The man referred to as an African got a lighter sentence mainly because he came from people who had suffered at the hands of whites. Those who administer the law failed to see how deeply racist they are against the black population

uncanny & delightful
5 of 30
it's the little things
ya know...
details others miss
but not him
he knows the sound of my cough
...when it's normal
just my asthma acting up
& when it's...different
never let's it pass unnoticed
I don't like the sound of that
to him it's very evident
when I'm not quite...solid
struggling to process
maybe it's just that I'm too quiet
I don't know what it is
somehow he knows when something's amiss
invariably...he reaches out
calming my mind
telling me to take my time ...

Beautiful
And there it is
the essence
a primal cry
that we exist
serene
pristine
pure
how we are meant to be
only fall short
of the goal
to pick ourselves up
and stand
within the storm
of humanity

Zero "0"
Did you notice something about "0"?
You go along one side, quantity changes,
You go along other side, quantity changes
But when you pass through " 0", quality changes
I don't mean "0", I mean " शून्य " And its practical...

She Rises
With spirit and determination
Her lifeforce spread like fire
Every single feather - a blaze
A wingspan more than what anyone could ever measure
A rite of rebirth and regeneration
Baptized in flames
And us poets
With glassy eyes witness
How she rises
A reawakening from beyond this realm
How the words spoken
Can help heal those of us who are broken
As a testament
Leaving behind a legacy

Journey's End
In the three and a half years I've been on this site
I've gone from writing a poem or so a month
to several a week
I've gone from writing mainly fiction and narrative
to thinking in stanzas and senryu
I've gone from interacting mainly with local writers
to knowing fascinating and talented writers from around the world
I've had a place to be inspired and entertained
to write with abandon,
and be unrestrained
It's been a good ride.
Thank you all.
