good morning have a seat
we're delighted you could make it
after careful consideration
there's no going back now
do you have any questions?

the thing is, i can't promise
anything
but let me assure you
no harm will come to any of the
applicants

I don’t know which is worse
Feeling cursed by winter’s cold isolation
Or future’s immolation by past’s failure.
Like some sailor in lonely seas
Knowing that perfect she, just doesn’t exist for me.
I think some of us are born to be alone.

Note the seeming missed connections in the rhyme.

Energy never dies. It transforms.
We are energy.
This earth is energy.
The universe is all energy, the galaxies, the other universes, all energy.
Energy doesn't die, therefore it isn't born. It has always been here, as has the earth, the stars and the planets.

Time is man-made, but it is so vital to our existence that we plan and do everything that surrounds it, around it.

If you remove the notion of time, you will understand when I say there is no beginning and no ending.
It simply "is".

I follow the flow of the universe within me

We were born to be and to live divinely

Truth respect love and support
I yearn for a closer rapport

With you and with the world out there

Humanity is struggling everywhere

Balancing the aspects of my personality

I do these things to attract higher frequencies
Vibrations and such

It can never be too much

I wonder and I ponder and I explore the mystical
And I truly give it my all

It’s important to set goals and to achieve them all
Because soon it will be my last call

Success is my only option at this point

And I am taking steps towards this joint

Little by little, baby steps

To success I say yes, I accept

You appeared in my dream last night,
And you were such a splendid sight -
The sad thing is the dream did fade,
Before the final act was played.
Ask me what I want to do, go fish
if I had a genie, it’s what I would wish
in the lake, river, creek or pond
eagerly cast next to a fern frond

Wiggle my bait and work it some more
hoping a fish cannot ignore
flipping up under docks
or the edges of piles of rocks

Working the tree stumps
waiting on a big thump
on my lure, adrenaline pumps
waiting for the end of my rod to jump

Bass, on Carolina, Alabama, or Texas rigs
crappie and pan fish I’ll catch on a jig
white bass and hybrids, on slabs and spoons
I have even caught them casting at  loons

Sam Rayburn, Cedar Creek or Lake Fork
I’m getting excited just like a dork
Tawakoni, Amistad, or Nacogdoches
if I ran out of bait, man I would use roaches

Livingston, Stryker, or the Trinidad  Lake
catching some fish, fry them up on a plate
bait cast, and spin cast, pushbuttons oh wow
I also can fly-fish, I taught myself how

Gar, carp and buffalo, anything that bites
looking for something to make my line tight
Matagorda, or Galveston, or Port A
I have no problems fishing  the bay

Intercoastal waterway or out in the surf
no problems cooking surf and turf
Black drum, Red fish or Speckled trout
as long as they’re biting I’ll never pout

Whiting, and Croakers and even Hardheads
catching are fun, getting the slime off you dread
gaff tops are pretty, but just as slimy nasty
I’ve never had any, I hear their pretty tasty

Flounders are flat and so are sting rays
but if that’s what’s biting I’ll fish everyday
jacks, and mackerel and bonnet head sharks
so many fish in the ocean, that’s just a start.

How about invasives, silver carp and snakeheads
cast for the snakehead, jumping carp in a net
I’ve fished lots of bass, native and Florida strain
but there is one thought that sticks in my brain

Is I’d like to go catch some peacock bass
top water action would really kick ***.
catch and release or serve it up in a dish
as you can see I really love to fish
A step I took
just one at a time
within me I'd look
to despair I'd not succumb

my life is yet
an unwritten book
not to be lived in regret
the hardest task I stand to brook
* to bear.tolerate
fill the world with love let the fighting cease
fill the world with happiness with nothing else but peace
let us live together let us all unite
make the world a happy place make the future bright.

let us live as one with lots of love to share
share it with the world each and everywhere.
the world be so happy a better place to live
with peace for evermore with only love to give
