I Had A Dream Upon The Mountaintops...
To the consolation of the mortal man
Never to touch or kiss mystique ordained by the Creator’s hand
Benediction mantras to the winds such fallacies to hammer of thy head
The tabernacle of annihilation where Angels never fear to tread
Wallowing in the entanglement conscious
Wishing for the scented lavender of compassion, love, and beauty in my intellectual bed
Rosary beads, amulets, crowns of grandeur, wings of regal crest
The hands of sacredness upon a time I was uplifted to the skies
Given back to the earth,...
Never to touch or kiss mystique ordained by the Creator’s hand

Rosary beads, amulets, crowns of grandeur, wings of regal crest

Wild Old Woman
She was light on her feet
As a cat, even in stilletos,
Daintily slipping through
Without a sound.
Her gaze was that
Of a wild woman,
Carrying the ever present
Tinkling of something dangerous
Hidden ever so carefully
Behind the poise and grace
Of a lady.
Her hair nearly
Touched the ground,
As if Rapunzel
Had been absorbed
By the witch.
Freely hanging locks
were a cloak of vines
trailing behind her.
They seemed to
Hold each one
Of the stories she had ...
As a cat, even in stilletos,
Daintily slipping through

Carrying the ever present

Hidden ever so carefully

Her hair nearly
Touched the ground,
As if Rapunzel
Had been absorbed
By the witch.
Freely hanging locks

trailing behind her.
They seemed to

Surviving through indulgence
We started sharing information bout each other like we were each other’s therapists
We poured out our feelings like we knew what we wanted from the beginning
We laughed at the same things like we understood each other’s sense of humor
With hands interlocked & eyes deadlocked you understood your title before it came
You slipped but made sure when I needed solidarity you gave it like a vision with clarity
(IMperfect with you)

Humbling Grace…
Antiquated age before humbled grace
Is knowing the difference between
Knowledge and Wisdom
One seeks it and the other grows into it
Only the proclamation of vanity has neither

butterfly on your arm
that which is the best
we want should not
be thought
on too
hard
it needs to
arrive
easily
gently
like a purring cat
rubbing against
our legs

The Racket at 7:00 o'clock Saturday Morning
I am roused by a drone,
if this alarm had a name,
it would be shatter,
I am roused and kept awake
by a pulsing, uneven drone.
And I ask,
'why do we cut grass, why do we lop the tops
of millions of the perfectly evolved?
Each spear slopes in a sensual bend to the sky,
each a pair, respecting God’s scoring in a middle.
I am roused by blade abrupting blades,
While I hear but one side of a conversation,
the side of the mower, I suspect the other
-- the side of the leaves -- far noisier.
I...

Dear John
I am not prone to eulogizing
someone I have never met
but I feel the urge to express
some feelings about this cat
First introduced to his coaching
when Raiders where of Oakland
antithesis of that other gridiron team
across the bay
Where Al Davis was talking smack
Madden was talking x s and o s
harshest words for the referees
animated not personally vindictive
Loved to teach and guide
in that respect like Coach Wooden
and even more admired
as a coach, announcer, video game
...

Let Freedom Reign
Feel the weight of someone else's load
Before you decide on what you think of them
Keep the peace of your faith and allow them the same freedom
Don't speak in anger or fear
Let a peaceful feeling reside in your heart
In the face of something that would normally enrage you
And you will truly be a free man
Before you decide on what you think of them
Keep the peace of your faith and allow them the same freedom
Don't speak in anger or fear
Let a peaceful feeling reside in your heart
In the face of something that would normally enrage you
And you will truly be a free man

ALTERNATIVE Explanation For The RAPTURE
People think that at the Rapture we Christians
are caught up to heaven without dying !!
When God blows "the trumpet of God"(1st Thess. 4.15-17).
Where did this idea come from (that we go to heaven without dying)??
Well Paul the apostle says,"we will NOT all sleep but we shall all be changed.."(1st Corinthians 15.51-52).
"Sleep" here refers to dying.
So Christians interpret these words to mean "we shall not all DIE.."
But there is an ENORMOUS amount of evidence that death DOES occur at the Rapture.
For we read that at the Rapture "SUDDEN...

Drift of the mind; End?
At the beginning of a new beginning, something must first end .
Before something ends, do we see the end approaching, can we overlook a new beginning?
So, can we really speak of a beginning and an end?
Or should we rather speak of a surprising leap in life?
As we take that leap, when do we jump?
Is it jumping or rather careful taking steps?
Are we consciously, or should we rather speak of an unconsciously taken ‘jump’?
Still, that same question remains;
When does a new beginning, or the beginning of an end starts?
Can we really speak of...

She Contemplates the World
She Contemplates the World
Up high
Above the cityscape,
Her window
Sets its view,
Letting both
The hustle in,
At night
A different hue.
By day
The smoke
And traffic
Glare,
And hurry
Pace
Yet go
Nowhere,
And every
Soul
Is set
About
To see
Today
If they
Might rout
Stout
Relentless
Corridors
Of energies
So bent
On making
Selfish
Synergies.
And yet
By night
