The Provisions
Freedom provides the option To thrive while unrestrained By individual circumstances By the self-serving demands of others By our own compelling pain Freedom provides an opening For truth to roam free Sometimes hurting, sometimes humbling, sometimes healing Sometimes returning to its owner A long-lost key Freedom provides an opportunity To test the boundaries of our souls To examine the framework of our egos To recalculate the sum of...

I Flew the International Route
I flew the international route Had an epiphany, no doubt Surrounded, the mix of folks Of ages, languages, life walks What if we suddenly can share One intellection, maybe pair? A story from a distant nook Earth’s wisdom, ready for a book Of money, family and love Tradition, habit thereof, How we can learn, and why we don’t? Out of indifference, we wouldn’t This plane,...

Premium Member Missed Opportunity
two gorgeous people passed on the street one She wondered, is that gorgeous man carrying a purse? He thought she was the epitome of gorgeous He wanted to turn for another look, but thought better of it Two lonely people Strangers Who had a lot in common and could have shared a dog But they kept walking Opportunity Lost...

Premium Member Beyond the Status Quo
Traveling far, far away from home Leaving family and friends to roam Did not expect changes it would bring To a life feeling apathy’s sting Had much pity from which to borrow Saw no bright future into tomorrows Never thought to make goals or form dreams Caught in a trap of daily routines Knew nothing beyond my locale Blind to the avenues I had Just...

Premium Member This one never mine
Made alot of mistakes in a life, felt days of regret asking heaven why. But that day you came in like a gulfstream hurricane thankfully wasn't one I let by. Found myself out of the haze on a bright new jetway, yet undeserved from my point of view. One that almost didn't come true, and...

Premium Member I Am Opportunity
I am... a hello/goodbye guest. I show up dancing, twirling about like a dervish, shaking my tambourine; dance with me! I'm no clown; take me seriously! I'm always friendly whenever we meet face to face. Shake my right hand; do not stick yours in my face and tell me to talk to it instead. Don't blow me off like that. Each time I meet you at crossroads,...

A flowing river, wide and deep, With opportunities, for girls to keep. Let education be the guiding stream, To nourish their dreams, and make them sparkle. With every step, a chance to grow, Their potential is nurtured, to show truly. The river of opportunity, a boundless flow, Will lead them forward, to heights they'll know....

On the Roof of River
The wings finally untied The broken feathers laid on bushes Turned into ashes The memory of lame rests no more On the store of the brain-game New Breeze has leased The opportunities to be ceased Life has transcended Beyond the mundane Not so wild in the wide world Seashore is no longer apart The heart now is meandering ways To uplift the drowning soul And make its...

Such is the case of the righteous in mind, faithful to the cause that is enacted by the motives that has been established an aura of decency and respect that's deserving of a heart free of stress and pain bearing the secured knowledge that their future and that of their loved ones will be fundamentally theirs by those chosen to...

Life Beyond the Status Quo Traveling far, far away from home, Leaving family and friends to roam, Did not expect changes it would bring, To a life feeling apathy’s sting. Had much pity from which to borrow, Saw no bright future in tomorrows, Never thought to make goals or form dreams, Caught in a trap of MUNDANE routines. Thought hiding my distress very smart, Shielding...
