Ophidians (Sky_dancer & Tallen @ it anew!!)
I, of fire, dwell amidst a garland of flames.
My sex and spirit combined in a double helix,
My darkness and light both clearly visible.
I am the Dragon of the fire element.
Feminine lush, I am protector of Gaia’s keep
During the day of heat
The night of cold, cool and sleep
Diligent
Watchful
I am the Dragon of the element earth
Holder of the Wisdom Pearl,
I wind through clouds, on the air,
to the heavens, celestial dweller.
I come to thee, Gaia's keeper, to entwine.
Bind yourself with me.

Realization.
Like a Dream by glimpses
that of Passion whisper
As Few Apprehend,
while touching dew,
and perceiving the Morning
To be Astonished by this gift
to see and hear more,
and awaken Wonder
of that which Few can Attain
and Understand
to give back to the World
To have,
yet seek more in Spirit
To want,
yet know I'll never reach
To need Nothing
Searching binds me to Realization
and Realization sets me Free
I struggle
and Love deeper ...

Faith
Faith without works is an waste of time here on the earth.
Truth without Fruit is an waste of time as well on the earth.
So trust in the Lord to get you through this here life too.
Never give up just keep on running this here race you are in.
Keep on moving closer to that finish line till you are right there.
Love your neighbor , and love your enemy here as well friend.
But most of all love your God and Savior with a full heart too.
Truth without Fruit is an waste of time as well on the earth.
So trust in the Lord to get you through this here life too.

Love your neighbor , and love your enemy here as well friend.
But most of all love your God and Savior with a full heart too.

there is no chance

being there
she'd told him
she won't be there
where he'd been meeting her
the place

he knew well too
the place
ain't the place
without her
coming to terms
is easier read than lived
perhaps
some conflicts
'tween heart mind and soul
tear one apart
till the tears depart
washing the real

I've seen the future
I've known the truth, since the day my eyes were opened,
That this world is amazing, yet equally frightening.
Since I saw Michael Jackson, dancing on The Soul Train TV Show.
Since I saw E.T. die, because he couldn't phone home.
Since I saw Neil Armstrong, land on the moon.
Since I saw Uri Geller getting paid, to simply bend spoons.
The truth will set you free. Your ignorance will blind you.
If you’re lost in the darkness, his light will guide you.
All my young life, I believed what I was shown,

Ark of the Blue Nile
ب الحكيمن
A philosophy of one unconquerable God's right hand
Etho ark of this covenant guided within Ethiopia lands
Dynastic Menelik's new synagogue amidst column in
Son of Makeda, the Queen of Sheba & King Solomon,
In aged Israel thru every dwelling from YHWH wisdom
Begat heir of each temple priest to mother's kingdom
Aaron's rod cast upon the waves to halt the death rite
Blessed acacia chest carried via staves by their Levites,
A mercy seat in between the two cherubim...

Bemusing Enigmatic Inquiries For The Deific On High
font=Courier]
For none of us knows what it was like to bear such a burden cross as He did-
Neither can any of us know what it is like to have been adorned a thorny crown, as He had forced upon His head-
Nor can we imitate the holes where the nails nailed into His hands-
Yet there are more than a few-
Who knows what it feels like to carry around a great albatross of suffering anguish -
Who are hexed with being tormented by a constant bothersome impediment-
And there are far too many who have holes in their souls, hearts, and their humanity-

Systematic Seismology
the man on the mountain
survives tremors of change
that others cannot feel
he watches smoke rise
from its gutted belly
to extract fossil fuel
and blood diamonds
but remains steadfast
in prayer and meditation
he does not desire vengeance
on hatred and selfish greed...
instead he prays for wisdom
to permeate each spirit
shift their paradigm
from taking to receive
because that's what wisdom...

SUFFERING
A never-ending journey
Longing to unlock the mystery
The fire burns internally
The debate rages on eternally
In search of answers to all life’s questions
For personal gain and selfish intentions
Consumed by your fixation
A hell of your own creation
How do you break the cycle?
Earthly desires are the biggest obstacle
Walk the narrow path or fulfil the circle
You have to be mindful
Thoughts fail to coincide so the message you lessen
Cast aside your pride and just listen
Hidden gems inside you might miss a...

Decisions ... Are There Really Any Unimportant Ones?
The storm approaches as you watch
Silently reverently helplessly the grimmest Reaper
The shadows grow longer filling the empty spaces
The day grows late and dread grows deeper
The spectre of knowing ... a curse
The threat of deflection already cast
Finding the eye to escape through
The chances are slim and slipping fast
The one percent of one percent
Easier to match in times past
The odds are too long and treacherous
You live there, though ... the need so very precious
Leap to the void and hope for the best once...
Silently reverently helplessly the grimmest Reaper
The shadows grow longer filling the empty spaces
The day grows late and dread grows deeper
The spectre of knowing ... a curse
The threat of deflection already cast
Finding the eye to escape through
The chances are slim and slipping fast
The one percent of one percent
Easier to match in times past
The odds are too long and treacherous
You live there, though ... the need so very precious
Leap to the void and hope for the best once...

Purple Cosmic Highway
Transparent bus
Layered on top of a cosmic ship;
Purple highway.
I'm standing
afloat
observing from behind the fourth wall.
One bus, after another
above it ships;
Cosmic highway.
I'm wondering if they
can see that
they're on top of each other;
Passing, one
through
another.
Gigantic,
Monstrous,
Object.
