What Will We Do?

What will we do
as the world implodes
like a festering sore
left too long
born of hate
and of strong divide
a chasm
too deep
too wide
we become pilgrims
no home
no known to abide?
The swirling lava
laps meanacingly
at our heels -
too late we heed
the hungry monster -
while it hounds at our backs,
ready to devour.
What will we do
while hate eviscerates
all good will
good intentions
good vibes
bleeding
wounded
beaten
discarded?
There seems no end
unless we can rend
the broken fence
of dis-
unity.
Can it end?
What will we do?

Motivational Talk

Stop hiding
from you
Stop being coached.
Live. 
Stop
being bound
by life's broken curriculum
participate in your healing
embrace uugly
revel in it
to find your beautiful.
Stop blocking
the blows
so your stars can shine bright.
Stop lying
about your chains
take the key
free yourself.
Stop killing 
your dreams
water them
with hope.
Stop accepting 
false narratives
write your story.
Now breathe
heave
breathe
be born 
to yourself.

Long Walk to Nowhere

Long Walk to Nowhere

You are free
but your mind,
you mind
cannot see
the destiny
waiting for you to achieve.
You walk unbound
But the mind
is bogged down
to the ground
by a stubborn will
to see your smallness.
So you walk around
and around
make a journey to nowhere
so you can find your success
although it was always there
hiding under the rumpled doubts
inside you mind.

Every Blooming Thing.

Every Blooming Thing.

Every blooming thing is a treasure
and all must grow and thrive
nothing must be left below
they must sway and dance day and night.

Every blooming thing has beauty
natural and not contrived
spreading wide enough to gather
all the bouncing shining lights.

Every blooming thing must produce
their talents must be used
to give love and life
and so be profuse.

Every blooming thing must live
so all their talents they can give
to those weary beaten broken souls 
who need their fragrance to forgive!

The Next Season

The Next Season

Leave all regrets in this season
and be free for the next season.
Regreats cling like cancer
and eat all that is good and pure.
Burn it out,
and let peace sprout
and consume your life.

For this season will pass,
the drought, my friend, never lasts.
And when it does
and the rain comes
make sure to remove the weeds
and replace with fruitful seeds
that will grow and exceed
the abundance you saw 
in your dreams.

This season will build the bridge
for the next season.
What kind of bridge will it be?

This Season

This Season

Remember this promise...

Month of purpose
month that rings true.

So easy to rebel
so easy to forget
that life is worth
fighting til the end.

Seasons of forgetfulness
a mirage melted
when awake
to the light that pushes away
the dark that game to stay,
to break you down
a little more everyday.

You
who are no ordinary mortal
stand in the truth
of who you are.

Detach and attatch
rewire your thinking
rise from the water
that promised you doom
and claim your true destiny.


Sun Stroke

Sun Stroke

Welling up -
ready to overflow...
The first gentle stokes
leaves me quiverying
deep,deep inside.

Then a gentle breeze caresses it
cools me down
and sets me off my feet.
I revel 
in the embrace
of each golden ring
chosen to give
and not receive
by whose touch I can live.

A flamming torch lit to the heavens
what a lasting impression.
Never to be extinguished again.
As my eyes close from the pleasure 
and pain,
of the vermilion hue,
it reconstructs my view
that allows me now to pursue
the Joy from that first stroke.
