Listen More
(and Speak Less)
Most folks when engaged in conversation
Only hear while the brain prepares a response
Not fully paying attention could often lead
To communication breakdown
Instead listen with intent to understand
Empathize acknowledging their feelings
And though at times we may deal with bitter pessimists
I guess you can say more by speaking less

Monoliths
Wintry tears drip deep,
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits

AT LONG AWAITED REAWAKENED BLISSFUL LAST (2:00am,6-7-2001, Galveston Island, Texas)
eternal waiting
outer darkness inner light
sweet forgiveness deep insight
love s labor soul s plight
life lessons fight or flight
acceptance or denial
egocentricless mind and heart
still can t escape
paradoxical soul
painful beauty fearful love
hopeless faith selfless cause
blind hearts visionary spirits
blocked emotions open feelings
all suffering loss and gain
destiny s question journey s answer
life teeming with experiential meaning
struggling like an unseen river
over...

Seek
Our world is full of symbolism
If you look than you will see
Patterns always engraved in
Our language and history
The signs have always been there
Few have chosen to be
Enlightened for the good of mankind
Instead trade it for prestige
They believe we are far too ignorant
To conceive what the truth might be
So locked away within the wealthy
Is the wisdom to set us free
If you look than you will see
Patterns always engraved in
Our language and history
The signs have always been there
Few have chosen to be
Enlightened for the good of mankind
Instead trade it for prestige
They believe we are far too ignorant
To conceive what the truth might be
So locked away within the wealthy
Is the wisdom to set us free

Being Good Humans
Wisdom
Like pillars of humanity and understanding
Wisdom is a guiding light in a life
We see the world, we see the truth
Able to discern what is wrong and what is right
Courage
Like a guardian at the gate of our minds
Courage stands strong ready to defend
With inner strength and steady determination
The heart’s fortress will be resilient
Justice
Like a moral compass showing us true north
We’ll learn the principles of fairness and rightness
Allowing us to make decisions in virtue and equity
Falling in alignment...

Everything in Moderation
Living within your means is a different measure to each individual
Because excessive desires can lead down darker paths
If we want to experience peace and tranquility
Then we should practice control
If you try to keep up with the Joneses
You’ll find that this is nothing but a fleeting illusion
It’s as if material things won’t bring happiness
It rather creates an ending hunger
Always craving for more
In striving for moderation
I began to understand the definition between of want versus need
That from time to time I can indulge...

as is
as lemons grow like
tiny sun's on
California
trees
as the broken hearted are
placed in the freezers
of loss in
hell
as the dog chases
the cat across
summer
lawns
as the answer has no
meaning to the
question
as the night stars are
memories of the
dead
as supermarkets send
out flyers to the drunk,
the insane, the
suicidal
as victory eludes us
for another
day
as another night of fitful
sleep ends in ...

We Just Learn To Breed What Fills The Soul Beyond Measure
Demise deviates from its route
When life clings to its smile
And love springs from its root
When the soul deluged by the Majestic Nile
*****
Pain is the pulse that shall not wane
Sight and super powers we derive
One of the signs one still sane
And the flames aglow and alive
*****
End not your world for a word
And feed not what cannot be fed
A word wraps a state while a whole is the world
Souls of Light have Love to nourish and spread
*****
How vain to confine the sight to a favourite...
When life clings to its smile
And love springs from its root
When the soul deluged by the Majestic Nile
*****
Pain is the pulse that shall not wane
Sight and super powers we derive
One of the signs one still sane
And the flames aglow and alive
*****
End not your world for a word
And feed not what cannot be fed
A word wraps a state while a whole is the world
Souls of Light have Love to nourish and spread
*****
How vain to confine the sight to a favourite...

Juicy Fighter
what are you waiting for?
Come on, go fight...
if life only gives you lemons
squeeze them into other people's eyes...
Come on, go fight...

balanced duality and dichotomy
help me peel back the layers and unmask,
unwind with me as I lounge in the foliage of fall,
be my partner in this beloved folie à deux.
enjoy your time and ride this coaster of emotion.
hurtle forward, drop your gut on the loop, and slingshot backwards.
ride it once and know what to do, nothing new to expect.
except this coaster shows a pattern,
a bigger cycle; fall down 7, get up 8,
it must be fate these missteps won't abate.
depressed, manic, stable
manic, depressed,...
unwind with me as I lounge in the foliage of fall,

a delicate balance
Talent is God-given: be humble. Fame is man-given: be grateful.
Conceit is self-given: be careful."―John Wooden
all's not fair in love and war;
each may leave a deadly scar.
even Christ, upon the Cross,
suffered, for His love, great loss.
tread with care in right and wrong;
you may sing a different song,
if the confidence you boast
finds you sleeping at your post.
let loud laughter and soft tears
never find you in arrears;
celebrate with those who joy,
shed a tear with those who cry....
