Life Is A JourneyLife is a journey to another place.

But not the destination.
It lies somewhere,
That terminus,
Within the scope of time and space,
Yet still may be,
For some of us,
Beyond the reach of our imagination.

Sublime FlowHis seamless flow comes from
the most high above
so there's no blocking God
& his words of love
They descend from clouds on backs
& wings of doves
falling kamikaze style from abodes above
This irritates a few so...

In From The RainThese aren't empty sentences filled with nouns
& verbs but is a testimony of spirit

Heart Gentle Eye MindfulThis morning, I took an early stroll
And saw, before my eye,
A spider upon his dewy web,
Lit by sun rays from the sky.

Frank E Einstein
I am the progeny
Of lightning and stitch,
A Franken-hybrid
Of genius and glitch.
My circuits buzz with
Einsteinian thought,
Unraveling secrets
The universe has wrought.
Existence, I ponder,
Through photon and quark,
Grappling with questions
In the depths of the dark.
Am I a mockery, a...

No fleeting wisp, but cradle vast and soft,
A mother's touch, where weary hearts find rest.
Her downy cloak enfolds the world in sleep,
Forgotten memories on the night wind sigh,
A promise...

not above but beneath the surface,
their sinuous silhouettes fabric of nightmares, tearing sinew from skeleton,
swifter than...

The Edge of OblivionI can tell you that the edge of oblivion is a
comforting place for the wise
Oblivious to the wondering eyes of the layman
that watch, things are seen just as they are
All it takes is a...

Away but at homeThe tribulations of being close
On a journey, away from home
But where is home?
Is it a place?
Or is it a state of being?
A mindset within ones soul
A feeling of comfort and rest
Home is where we build...

DelusionAffirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion - Jim Rohn

so some search for answers to end this illusion.

The Demon at the DoorThere is a demon at your heart’s door,
He’s been around since days of yore.
His goal is to become your kin,
And corrupt your life from within.
He is a liar and a thief,
Don’t let him in, he’ll...
