Large or Small

Large or tall

great or small

you have it in the palm of your hand

the power to influence it all.

Every thought

every action

every word....

or haven’t you heart?

It’s racked up,

jam packed,

and let’s say stacked,

with actionable energy

momentum and flow...

curses or blessings on the go!

Or didn’t you know?

For every vibe set into action,

whether thoughtless or not,

you are going to get hit up with a reaction,

whether you want it or not.

Best make it a practice to be

the one who makes it a practice

to set blessings free.

Then you’re hit up seven times round

with thoughtful cultivations,

and benevolent seeds

growing in fertile ground.

That don’t sound half bad.....

Don't Just Be.... DO!

It is easy to speak peace

seek peace...

if we never leave our comfort zone.

Refuse to spend our time with someone

standing out in left field of our views.

Not wanting to waste time in another’s shoes.

Or to setp out and beyond one’s self,

and spend moments where the destitute dwell,

the lonely dwell...

or have compassion on another man’s hell.

Yeah- now there’s the real challenge.

And it seems to be beyond the ordinary grasp

to take on the extraordinary task

of standing up to challenge the tides

all the while refusing to deride

someone whose outer shell

does not reflect their beauty inside...

Shallow is as shallow does, it seems.

Not taking a moment to look

before spitting on anothers dreams.

Ah yes, we show much grattitude

to those with a benevolent attitude

doning them a hero’s crown,

for picking up those who were cast down.

But did you know that hero could be you?

So kick up a little dust...

encourage your world

to polish off a little of it’s rust.

Don’t just be... do!

Not In The Hands Of My Neighbor

My vitality is not in the hands of my neighbor,

whose lips are full of poisoned darts

who practices the fine art

of putting down to raise selves up

of drinking from a wrathful cup....

My peace is not in the hands of another,

whose intents are of self proposed gains

who belittle and scorn another’s pain

and build suspicions upon mistrust

and build their fortunes among vengeful lust...

My joy is not in the hand of another

whose heart is full of their own desires

who sets their neighbors misfortunes on fire

and seek to find their own gain

and shun the one who doesn’t seek the same...

No! I dont leave my hopes in the hands of another...

But I guard my own vitality to ensure,

it is kept safe, treasured and secure

I hold my own peace close within my heart,

from my own dreams I do not depart,

just because it doesn’t suit another’s need.

I put a cap on speaking wrathful seeds.

I am gentler and kinder to my own soul,

Living to my fullest potential is my ultimate goal.

This and That

would like to know why...

whenever the heart finds a route to go,

the mind changes the direction.

Whenever the heart finds an answer

the mind changes the question.

It seems crazy to me

to reside in the same body

and be ever so conflicting...

desiring the freedom

of a love freely pumping

yet all the while suffering

a mind’s constricting.

Keeping one or the other

in check and balance,

slowing the horses

from unnecessary chance.

Kicking some life into ratinal

causing the body to balance.

And it seems to me

that they will forever be

tangled in this perpetual dance.

Chipplets Off Of An Ancient Rock

We all are chiplets off of an ancient rock,

and indeed we own to some very small degree

the potential to create and re-create as well.

Our words and actions own an energy and momentum of their own.

As live and effectual as heat and cold are to the molecular state.

Therefore what ever thoughts that the mind generates...

the being owns as a covering as well..

Therefore purge the soul of ill will

and you purge your own enviromen of illness.

Set all your pre-determined thoughts aside,

and seek universal truth from Him who created.

From the Rock,

the foundation of all that exists.

There is where truth was born.

Seek the light of creation it’s self on your face,

let it’s warmth and endless love

soak deep into your bones.

Inhale universal oneness and healing.

Then and only then...

will you be given a clear vision of the victories

of light over darkness....

Crippling....

There is nothing more crippling to me,

than the crippling effects of complacency.

Where a stagnant soul is caught in an endless sea

of unmoving attitudes,

forgotten gratitude

and selfish latitudes....

Carelessly

recklessly

floating on an idea of “it’s all about me.”

“It’s not in my back yard.”

Well I’ve been around a block or three,

long enough to view the truth you see,

that anyone with that view can be,

the next targeted back yard.

It’s just the way it goes

and it simply shows

the truth in the old sage’s words,

(it’s one that everyone has heard....)

What goes around comes around .

Simpler Way

Going to think of a simpler way,

to get onto my path’s today,

and start my day

in a much calmer way...

Think I am going to override

the hustle and bustle

of the traffic’s tide

and set myself higher

than a balloon can fly.

High above the schemer’s schemes...

drifting above the dreamer’s dreams

taking in more rhythmic scenes

filling my heart till it bursts its seems

with love I find inside of me.

Taking a moment out of the day

to appreciate in every way,

the sun that shines,

these thoughts of mine,

and the endless possibilities hidden

in the very seconds of time.

Going to look inside

and like what I see...

going to spend a few silent moments

and enjoy my own company.

Borrowing The Glory Upon Your Dreams

What is it really that you fear?

Is it words external

that filter in your ears...

filling your head

and choking your heart,

snuffing out your fire,

kicking pessimism

on your desires?

Are these words keeping you down?

Are they planted seeds

intended to steal your crown?

Yet deep with in your being

you can feel the truth.

It’s whispering to you,

"don’t let mere words

get the better of you."

Never, never, never...

act upon external cues

without a thought or two...

of their well aimed intents

by those set in their schemes

to steal your thunder

and borrow the glory upon your dreams.

Always... always, take the time to listen

to that creative voice that sits within.

The one that the universe was founded on.

It will never lead you wrong.

Waves of Opinion

I don't put too much stock

in the waves of opinion.

If there's anything I have come to realize

in my sunsets and sunrises here,

is that people are a real fickle bunch.

Public opinion swishes back and forth

like a nervous cat's tail.

What was taboo yesterday is in vogue today.

So I don't pay too much attention

to the winds of change,

I just understand that they will inevitably change.

And I try not to get too excited

when the winds of fortune blow my way.

Not to say I don't count my blessings.

No! I just try very hard not to get too puffed up and proud...

Because I well know that this too meets it's end.

I just figure I can extend the good fortune

by remaining low and humble about it.

Yes! It's all about balance isn't it?

Learning to ride the thrills in life...

yet anticipating an eventual drops

Even if it doesn't last, it certainly will be remembered.

And in this remembrance lies the seed of hope that you cling to

when one finds yourself descending again.

I am iron in your face....

I am

iron in your face

focusing not to disgrace

my flow and ebb

as a solitude

strong

confident

and competent entity...

But when it’s just me

I am

fighting my doubts

trying to work them out.

Often not sure,

sometimes insecure.

With my veils down,

defenses down,

sword on the ground,

and allowed to be

a tender softer me...

Colorfully,

with origionality,

artistically,

without a care you see...

if I error you see,

because I am forgiving.

For all the years I’ve been living

with myself,

I have learned to be gentle on me.

Simply Because

I want you to know my heart's desire

is for you to be happy.

Simply because

I have come to know you ...

Simply because:

you are worthy....

Simply because:

"our world" ...

the one we all share

is a much better place

when we all are happy...

My own soul

is at peace

when my world

and all those in it,

including you,

feel valued and happy.

I firmly uphold

that it is only when

we all take into consideration

that each other is an equally beautiful

and blessed being ....

worthy of respect and dignity....

that we ourselves have peace in our own lives!

Transcending

Set your face towards the sun

to get a clear vision

of the victorious paths

that lead the enlightened

out of darkness.

That give honor and glory,

to good over evil.

Set your face into the light to see

completely, in it's entirety...

the scope and breadth and width

of the dreamers dreams

and the schemer's schemes.

Be freed of your anxieties.

Give in to your spiritual richness

that you hold within.

That is cloaked with flesh

and then covered with skin.

Stop chasing your tangible tail,

your plans will never prevail

without crystal clear sights

on what is wrong

or what’s right

within this limited physical

time and space...

For the battle is not

of mere flesh and bone.

We are not compact molecules alone.

But energy within

vibrating and radiating

crystal clear synergy

transcending the here and now

unto immortality.

Silver tongue

You have a slick, silver tongue my dear

caressing my femininity,

tantelizing my ear,

subduing my defenses

and softening my fears.

You’ve got my heart racing wild my child.

Yet in my head your game is clear.

It says , "slow down ...

remembe, it is a slick silver tongue

and today I bet you are not the only one

that it has caressed

and verbally undressed.

Yes, you have a silver tongue my dear.

So from you I turn my ear,

Because your motives are questionable at best.

Until I'm Complete

Until I’m Complete　

It is only when you have hit the ground
that you can learn how to get up again.
It is only when you learn to get up again
that you build the confidenceto step out of yourself
out of your comfort zone
and start taking risks.
It is only when you start taking risks
that you fully come toan understanding of
who you areand what you are capable of.

It is only when you know who you are
and what you are capable of
that you can plan realistic goals and
see the potential in your dreams.
It is only when you can see the potentialin your dreams
that you can realize them,
taste the sweetness of accomplishment.
And it is in this sense of accomplishment
and sweet succulent taste of victory
that provides the driving force
to get you through the next step
the next obstacleand the next dark day.
It is then and only then that you can say,
I have what it takes to live...
and indeed I have lived!
