Love to a Gunfight
"We're bringing love to a gunfight."
~ Janiva Magness
Your enemies are your greatest teachers
—the ones who step on your triggers
revealing wounds that haven't yet healed
Each lesion that re-lacerates history
is an opportune time to decide
how we're going to react or reply
There are no coincidences in life
nor mistakes, only experience
lessons to spiritually advance
Thank those who perceive you
their adversary—their gift
is the greatest...

Stand Tall
The giraffe, guardian of my spark,
stands tall, silent sentinel.
Guardian spirit, infinite vision,
its calm presence my soul dwells.
Its gaze sweeps across the broad horizon,
as if seeing beyond the passing of time.
With graceful steps, she walks firmly,
bringing serenity that aligns me.
Our hearts beat in harmony,
gentle strength in eternal vigil.
Neck that touches stars and ground.
Unites the worlds in full communion.
I am happy to harbor such charm
and in its shadow I find my cloak.
My soul, which...
stands tall, silent sentinel.
Guardian spirit, infinite vision,
its calm presence my soul dwells.
Its gaze sweeps across the broad horizon,
as if seeing beyond the passing of time.
With graceful steps, she walks firmly,
bringing serenity that aligns me.
Our hearts beat in harmony,
gentle strength in eternal vigil.
Neck that touches stars and ground.
Unites the worlds in full communion.
I am happy to harbor such charm
and in its shadow I find my cloak.
My soul, which...

Deja Vu
Take me beyond
deja vu,
beyond
The social script;
show me
something
I have never seen,
Something
supreme
O Queen
Of moon beam
frequency -
frequently
radiant,
Adjacent
Nascent
&
New;
Show me
how you do
what
You do,
Known,
By
only
a
few.

Evil Is My Name
Evil is the mind of the saints, resurrected.
666 is my name; untainted.
Alone at the top, but acquainted,
With all the suffering souls,
The evil of the bottomless pit.
Know me and know my name.
I am here for the fame.
Follow me to the promised land.
Marry me to your reign.
Our power will be seen on a world stage.
Come together
Let's multiply.

Don't ask humans for certain definitions!
The headlines being how they are, I decided to try a modest work around for the customary music group search response for the idiom "third eye blind" in order to get something like a sturdy definition for the much journalistically bandied term..."woke"...and behold, up came this well worded answer from artificial intelligence via quora.com and ChatGPT...
What does it mean when someone is third eye blind?
ChatGPT
"The term 'third eye blind' is often used to describe someone who is unable to see or understand the...

Ode to My Mango Tree
two decades or so, yet
ever reaching out to me
your calloused branches...
my voice and touch
carved in your aging bough,
your song when leaves rustle
in the night breeze
overwhelms my tormented soul...
o' my dearest amrapali,
more than my confidant,
you are an embodiment
of my spirit guide,
listening to my laments
and in whose silence
dwells solace-
an intercessor,
who carries my
pleas and prayers
to the universe; ...

The Poetic Universe
High above clouds blanketing a sleeping earth
pale horizon fades into the vast universe
Tiny dots of brilliance, so small to my eyes
possess magnitude that baffles my limited mind
If miniscule is enormous, then my big problems are small
as distance and eternity dwarf them all
A fresh perspective on our differences unfolding
as ancient light gains new meaning upon our beholding
The Creator of stars and planets and oceans
saw fit to equip me with words and emotions
So this gift I’ll employ to share a truth with you: ...

Heaven Takes Away
Back then...
Granny had said that I was a particular child.
How I spent too much time questioning all
of the unreasonable things.
That I was tiresome to her,
when she'd take me to church, and
I wouldn't sit still while listening
to the nonsense of some mortal man
on a stage.
Because I could talk to God anytime,
without that interpreter giving me
his own version.
I'd tell granny, God doesn't see it that way.
She'd just shush me, sometimes handing me
a half-stick of gum...

Counterfeit Imagery
Counterfeit imagery.
Countenance, mystery.
Outer realm symmetry.
Alchemists, listening.
Balances dizzying.
Cloudiness, picturing.
Sound effects distantly.
Challenging, inquiry.
Mouthiness mimicking
Hallowing, sinfully.
Rowdiness willingly.
Shallowness, simile.
Mountainous visiting.
Palaces, glimmering.
Chalices shimmering.
Crowdedness, vividly.
Galloping infantries.
Rallying, infamy.
Callousness chivalry.
Towering, signaling.
Floundering wizardry.

Lucite Helicopter to Australia
This helicopter
in which you are riding
is entirely clear.
Lucite
Sturdy
You can see all the gears,
and the folding waves
of the lonely Pacific below.
In this helicopter,
you can see Freddie Mercury standing in the roomy cabin
this is a large model lucite helicopter)
and Brian May heading back to the cockpit.
He's an astrophysicist and rock star,
so why not a helicopter pilot too.
In this helicopter
made of lucite
for your viewing pleasure,
you can see birds
miniature breaching whales ...
