I will never forget
One night in August 2024 I took a walk down to the beach to hear the teenagers roll into shore
I smelled smoke
I looked across the street
Someone had nailed a bum to the neon lit 7-11 sign
His body formed the sign of the cross
He had been torched
There he was, crackling and burning against the night sky
He was the first saint I had ever seen
I smelled smoke
I looked across the street
Someone had nailed a bum to the neon lit 7-11 sign
His body formed the sign of the cross
He had been torched
There he was, crackling and burning against the night sky
He was the first saint I had ever seen

IN THE WIND
I wanna B in the wind
go where ever it goes
fly with it
up high...down low
take me,
here,there and everywhere
in the wind
breezing along
no worries
no cares
take me away
take me away
just me and the wind ♥♥♥
go where ever it goes
fly with it
up high...down low
take me,
here,there and everywhere
in the wind
breezing along
no worries
no cares
take me away
take me away
just me and the wind ♥♥♥

Step out
Arise sleeper and take up your plow.
Prepare your harnesses and oil your tack.
The ground has had its sabbath rest and is become disquieted.
Remove the rocks and rubble, burn the weeds and stubble.
Strike the fallow ground and don't relent.
Dig in and rip complacency away.
From sunrise until darkness covers the land.
The trumpet speaks, the time is right,
The earth rumbles in anticipation.
The sowers are holding the seed
waiting, watching, watching, hoping for broken ground.
The husbandmen and shepherds bounce from...
Prepare your harnesses and oil your tack.
The ground has had its sabbath rest and is become disquieted.
Remove the rocks and rubble, burn the weeds and stubble.
Strike the fallow ground and don't relent.
Dig in and rip complacency away.
From sunrise until darkness covers the land.
The trumpet speaks, the time is right,
The earth rumbles in anticipation.
The sowers are holding the seed
waiting, watching, watching, hoping for broken ground.
The husbandmen and shepherds bounce from...

Full Moon ín Love
Once in a month I cry for your love
Without words but loud and clear
Don't look around you, I'm not here
Find me high in the sky above
Sometimes I reach out for you
My moonbeam fingers stroke your fur
Until almost like a cat you purr
And I feel that you love me too
Protected by the velvety night
I kiss you soft and tender
Caress you with my splendor
Your yellow eyes reflect my light
Tonight you'll throw back your head
And howl a sweet melody to me
I blush with delight can you see
My moon face is...
Without words but loud and clear
Don't look around you, I'm not here
Find me high in the sky above
Sometimes I reach out for you
My moonbeam fingers stroke your fur
Until almost like a cat you purr
And I feel that you love me too
Protected by the velvety night
I kiss you soft and tender
Caress you with my splendor
Your yellow eyes reflect my light
Tonight you'll throw back your head
And howl a sweet melody to me
I blush with delight can you see
My moon face is...

A Best Seed of Love
My muse is here, seeds in my heart abyss
invokes a soul to wake and open up
a solid earth shall treasure such a bliss
and oceans are spared for me to grow up.
A best seed of Love, a soul, ever to grace
reaching my soil, digging up my gardens
the scent of divine, the mystery of space
enlightens my spirit and my Self heartens.
A flame of Life meant to glow and brighten
the darkest of dark and every sealed whole
the core of awareness, to touch and heighten
lit paths to walk and ascend, one is my dole.
Intense powers...
invokes a soul to wake and open up
a solid earth shall treasure such a bliss
and oceans are spared for me to grow up.
A best seed of Love, a soul, ever to grace
reaching my soil, digging up my gardens
the scent of divine, the mystery of space
enlightens my spirit and my Self heartens.
A flame of Life meant to glow and brighten
the darkest of dark and every sealed whole
the core of awareness, to touch and heighten
lit paths to walk and ascend, one is my dole.

Weeping Skies
Please pray for Los Angeles!!!
The skies are so gray,
with such a dark gloom,
I can smell the rain,
I hope it comes very soon.
The air is so windy,
The Clouds are set,
Hoping Raindrops fall,
Thus far, nothing yet.
The gray Skies are ready,
Perception predicts Rain,
Of All of the burning Forrest,
I pray this in Jesus Name.
Los Angeles is now Burning,
As an arsonist runs free,
Oh, Please stop these fires,
I beg this and I plea.
As the burning slows down,
It's a sad...

Flip!
She's a work of art
She brightens up my day
She's my Queen of hearts
I love her in every way
(Then... She slept with me best mate)
She's an ugly fart
Causing me affray
She broke me bleedin' heart
How could she betray
She brightens up my day
She's my Queen of hearts
I love her in every way
(Then... She slept with me best mate)
She's an ugly fart
Causing me affray
She broke me bleedin' heart
How could she betray

IT is these times
For the elders say that in each of our lives, 🙏 that we have to make a real hard decision, on what we want to deal with and what we won't deal with in our lives. For there will come a time when we have to learn how to navigate real hard through. The process of just only realizing it is necessary to eliminate the nonsense, that comes with some people's self centered drama. For all of and confusion and madness of causing nothing but insanity 😭 to our lives. I'm gonna lay this down for those who have to learn the hard way, how to navigate through the very negativity of some...

Eagle sails Above
Took over their house
Eagle fans stand tall and proud in the crowd push me a tush you can’t stop me
Flying a silver bird into Hollywood
Land on asphalt play on lab grown grass
Look across the stadium all I see is Kelly green
I can’t see Jack Nicholson in the front row
Stars scattered about not paying attention
To what is going on an Eagle sails above
As a Ram gets lost in the defense
Hurts me soo good
Hurts me soo good
Saquon is so good in Hollywood
Saquon is not Hollywood
...

Hand and Eye
My little guy has got the hand and eye
See a shape and put your hands in place
To receive what I’m delivering
As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in
Two points on a map and intersect where you should be
He sees the ball and anticipates where
And what direction
The passing wind can have an effect
You have to put that into the equation
Split second decisions between hand and eye
When you hawk that ball and hunt it down
It ends up positive with clapping all around
Next thing you know you helped...
See a shape and put your hands in place
To receive what I’m delivering
As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in
Two points on a map and intersect where you should be
He sees the ball and anticipates where
And what direction
The passing wind can have an effect
You have to put that into the equation
Split second decisions between hand and eye
When you hawk that ball and hunt it down
It ends up positive with clapping all around
Next thing you know you helped...

Hope
Hope can be elusive.
Ducking and hiding
when we hallucinate.
Hope is there though!
Summon it out of hiding
when there’s clarity.
Hope will not seek us out,
rather it requires us
to find it, and ensnare it.
