Journey of Life
Life is a fleeting gift, a quest,
Where shadows dance to find their nest,
We rise and fall, like waves onshore,
Let`s hail the present, seek no more
Find beauty in strife, learn from tears,
As life is a journey, so dear.
If I could have lived my life
Then this life is not mine. Not mine. Then this present has gone too far
I didn’t wait this time. Never. I needed the love. But that didn’t work
Doesn’t work the love? Unacceptable, my life? Yes. This is the reality
Solitude is the price for my independent life. I am paying the penalty
Hmm. Price? Penalty? Hmm. I am telling the truth. Looser life is best
Goodbye, my lost life, I feel good in the undertime, this world is mine
I needed to live my life. Very. But the psychology crossed my own will
I couldn’t put the fruit of my dream on the altar. Monsters’ science kill
Kill you
Kill me
Everyone
Don’t give up
God gave a way
Restless solitude
Is my life
We will met
In the Eternal
a surprise present
has landed on my door mat
blue dragonfly brooch
The future isnt as dark as it seems
Lost in the present
kuz we still holdin on to the past's fckd up presents!
every scar wrapped tight w a bow
triple knotted with a thousand layers
keepin safe every tragic memory we know
tired from the circles we stay runnin
moving so fast but feelin like super slow-mo
been way past the time to go
years fly by n still got nothin to show
with the heaviest baggage we've ever known in tow
Pains in our legs from tryna grow
Starting to feel like this just how sht supposed to go
They say today is a gift,
I whisper in my head, please make it swift,
My feet feel heavy like lead,
With every step I take.
I try to remember the good,
But no matter what I do,
It feels like I’m fading,
Losing what once sustained me.
The feelings rise, then disappear,
Everything that lifts my mood,
Slips through my hands.
I pray to the lord-
Please, let me go.
Everything feels like a lie,
A world ruled by the snake.
There is only one place i long for,
The stars above,
A place with no more tears,
No more pain.
But they say today is a gift.
So here I am.
MEDITATIONS ON MEDITATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sit, spine aligned with the spine of the earth,
breath flowing like an endless river,
each inhale a promise,
each exhale a letting go.
Mind becomes an empty sky,
clouds of distraction float by—
I watch them, not clinging, just witnessing,
watching the sun of awareness rising.
Time bends,
the clock dissolves into the ether,
and in this space,
I am both lost and found.
In the soft embrace of stillness,
I taste the sweetness of presence,
the clarity of the moment,
wrapped in the silence of the now.
Meditation, a bridge to the infinite,
where my mind learns to rest,
and my spirit unfurls,
finding solace in the spaces between.
I continue breathing, a simple act,
yet profound as the stars,
reminding me that stillness
is not absence, but the fullness of being.
I return again and again
to this sanctuary carved from silence
where thoughts dissolve
and the soul awakens ever present, ever now.
Hold that you can see,
Who can say?when you
Make blind?
Hold that you can hear,
Who can see the future
Of your ears?
Hold that you can feel,
Who knows your future
With senses?
When you not sure about
Your stability
How you want your wealth
Remain stable?
How you want relations
alaways remain same?
When you don,t know about
Your changes
How can you say about
Your future?
Present is life,what you do now
You get one day that results
But when noone can say.
For there’s much more to remember.
perhaps the walk that still embers.
The distinct message at the first sight.
and pin bent at the other end of the road.
Waited for the travellers to haunt at night.
when the moon with a smiley face to bright.
A stroll to remember where one walked,
with hands and hands together at ride.
The longest ride with no where to strife .
The pages had a crack of fork.
The sweetest song played once at night .
Today no longer serves the lost pride.
There is an unread scribblings,
at the frame on front hall.
The dried flowers on the wall lay,
there hung by their choice.
The spiders web too written its sign.
The haunted one by the choice.

I’m better today than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow.
initially thought
I Am Anaya Asian girl
looking at the sky
Jesus is present with the angels today
All souls abide by His great love
And now we bow our heads in prayer
Asking the good Lord from above
To speak to us, Almighty King
Show us the path of righteousness
Love and patience that You bring
We love You more, never the less
I left my past in all its fullness, thinking my life was almost complete.
Then the present was upon me, like a flower’s fragrance, it was so sweet.
I thought back to the past, a mere seed; yes, it must have been.
For the present was surely, slowly growing within.
In a dream my present became my future, my thoughts began explaining,
That life would be more if I’d allow the expanding of my time remaining.
For just as the present had come from the thoughts of my past,
The future would be born from my dreams which are vast.
It’s the thoughts that I have of my dreams full array,
That brings in the contractions of a future day.
The future will be fleeting, how could it last?
Eternity is waiting, and the end of time has been cast.
THE PRESENT JUNETEENTH: A 2025 Juneteenth Flashback
Beginning with the celebration
Of our Juneteenth,
We prepare a new perspective
For the 4th of July:-
Though this nation now stands stalled
On the brink, she remains our nation
That she is also our nation too, there
Can be no lie!
What a uniqueness her oppressed people
Now share?
Two juxtaposed emancipation celebrations
Back-to-back:
Going from these times, only the future knows
To where:-
Oh what an interesting time it is for those of us
Born black,
And indigenous ones contemplating it all in utter
Amazement!
As for us, our eyes on the prize focus, must remain
In the present;
No more standing around in a sad dismayed whine:-
It’s celebration Time!
P.S.: Remember this, my Brothers and Sisters:-
“…We may not be
Where we want to be;
We may not be
Where we ought to be;
We may not be
Where we gonna be;
But praise God! We ain’t
Where we once were!”
As happiness now, Johnson thunk,
Requires that a fellow be drunk,
Pursuing the happy,
A literate chappy,
So happy became that he stunk.
