I am so blessed you know
all my blessed life it's been so
I'm OK, my family is OK
God's chosen to bless me and mine
according to the Law of I Choose Who

I'm so blessed easy and cool:
like the other day, you know,
my neighbour was mocking me
(in spite of my perfect features)
and he was laughing as he crossed the streets
and a car knocked him down at Walk Street -
ha, God flattens mine enemies!

It is a life full of blessings you know -
there are people out there dying of hunger
and bloated tummies and explosions
and Ebola and such
but my family and I God has continued to protect
I am so blessed, I know -
it is a just God
(I am convinced)
who watches over me
Open your hearts
and blessings will pour
on you and your tribes too
There's the law of probability
and the sweep of randomness
- but hey, it's pleasing to know
me and mine are magnificently blessed

*How smooth and easy it is
I can smile at the world in peace and self-satisfaction
*This is about people's attitudes.

I did not cherish
Our conversations enough
Words tumbled out of you like a fountain
They rippled
They gurgled
They splashed
Out of you
I thought you were a fountain
Tall and loud
Confident in your fall
Everlasting
But who was I to know you were a pond
Insides clogging with Algae
But who was I to know she was a sun
She dried you out
From under you were dying
She didn't see
Or perhaps she didn't care
And I wish I had sipped every drop you gave me when I had the chance
Because now
I am
Just
So
Thirsty
I cannot drink water when I have tasted yours
I am addicted to your taste
Drinking you is like poetry
Sweet and aggressive
Soft and strong
Addictive
Like the conversations we had.

Aloft...
I am soaring
though my feet are still firmly planted on the ground

Floating…
on whispering breezes
sitting next to you on a park bench by a quiet morning lake

High…
above the clouds
as we walk through the changing forest this beautiful autumn day

Elevated…
many stories
seeing your reflection in the windows of a sidewalk café

Flying…
with Snow Geese
as we rest beneath a beautiful elm watching leaves swirl to the ground

Lifted…
by your smile
on pristine wings of effervescent happiness

Falling…
more each day
*in love with you
The river of consciousness
Flows tranquil, in me
From the mind it starts the journey
Navigating everyday obstacles
Washing away everyday doubts
Keeping the heart replenished
Along the course of the soul
Enhancing all the senses
Awareness knows no bounds
Beyond the realm of seen
At the end of the day
When I am tired
Of the routine
I dive into the river of consciousness
Washing away the today
To start a new day
With new questions
To search for new answers
Every day I am empty
Ready to drink
From the river of consciousness
New realization
Of greater prospects
New consciousness
Emanates from the core
No limitations
In the source of consciousness
