This is a test
this is only a test

you may opt to do the right thing
you may opt to think of all humanity and not just the people you know

in the event of an actual emergency
what will you do?
if all the weapons are in the hands of fools?

what will you do?
if the votes of many aren't counted?

this piercing tone serves as a reminder
you may be called upon
to do heroic deeds
Only a test...

Praise to the emptiness that blanks out existence. Existence:
This place made from our love for that emptiness!

Yet somehow comes emptiness,
this existence goes.

Praise to that happening, over and over!
For years I pulled my own existence out of emptiness.

Then one swoop, one swing of the arm,
that work is over.

Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,
free of mountainous wanting.

The here-and-now mountain is a tiny piece of a piece of straw
blown off into emptiness.

These words I'm saying so much begin to lose meaning:
Existence, emptiness, mountain, straw:

Words and what they try to say swept
out the window, down the slant of the roof.
The amber light,
In the darkened room.
A silhouette,
Of me and you.

As two dark shadows,
Synchronize,
In a dance of passion,
While the bodies lie.

The heated room,
Has come alive,
As the lovers swim,
Into the night divine.

The bodies shiver,
Into a tighter hug,
As the shadows quiver,
With the waltz of love.

Passion they say,
Never sleeps,
Love they know,
Is forever on its feet.

These two lovers,
Will never know,
As their bodies tire,
The souls never slow.

Your creator took extra time,
To make you so beautiful.
It is unclear,
As to whether,
Your soul is just as gorgeous.

Seemingly selfish,
Scared to see,
Your true self.

Staying in solitude,
Should sustain my safety,
But keep me from you.

And what if your soul sparkles,
Similar to your eyes.

We live and pray striving each day
Going it alone along our way...

Frustrations make us strong, learning how to get along with the ones we've earned their love...

Push and shove unaware knowing we must share sacrifices are the spices we must dare to taste allow no waste of time...

Rise above learn to love thyself but not at the expense of the innocent ones...

Be kind, use your head; not your mouth
Be silent is strength in oneself...

Tough guys fail and striveth like the battle of David and Goliath!

Don't thrive on love from the past, cause hopefully you have both forgotten about each other...

Move on into the new dawn
Onward and beyond...

The choice is yours,
be not concerned what others might think...

Be entrenched in your goals
Silence is the key never share your secrets for that will result in delusion and folly...

Most of all embrace wisdom not vanity this cannot be taught vicariously only inherited through failure and determination to succeed...

For the price of wisdom is priceless indeed!
