I heard some of you folks really liked this particular story, so here it is unadulterated.

Sometimes I wanna be so close
That I could reach out and touch you
Sometimes I feel so certain
That I really haven't got a clue
I get so close that the image is distorted
I forget to see you in the light of Glory
I need to practice proper distance
Remembering that who you are
Is what makes me what I am
You are my brother, you are my best friend
Beloved and cherished 'till the very end
But you are Prince of Peace, King of Kings
The Son of Man, Great I AM, you are God
Sometimes I feel so very far away
This distance feels too great
You have bridged the gap to bring me back
Back in your arms and close to your heart
And I am near to you once again
In the silence of my soul, you call me
Open my ears Lord, that I might hear
And with the eyes of faith, I can see
That I can obey without great fear
You gave me your heart now here is my soul
Though storms may come I will not be shaken
For the Lord My God is my firm foundation

May I never be so familiar as to forget where you stand and before whom I sit. May I never be so comfortable as to forget to give you the respect and reverence you so rightly deserve. May I never be so foolish as to think I truly know you, for who can truly comprehend the mind of God? My Lord and My God have mercy on me and forever bless my soul! Amen

We're living a Dangerous Life,
tiptoeing on the Edge of a Knife.
What will come and take you in
The End?
Will it come from Behind
Or from Around the Next Bend?

Are We Here,
Really Here
Now?
...
The Everpresent Present

The Eternal,
The Undifferentiated,
dao
...
The Way of the Eagle
The Way of the Sun
The Way of the sweat
of the Toiling One.
The Way of the World,
The Way of The Track,
The Way of the Scorpion who rode
                                                    the Frog's back...

The Ways of Old We've left Behind
                          The Ways of New We must  
Now design...

The Laws of the Jungle
And the Laws of Gods
and Men.
The Laws of Those Whose Land
We're In.
The Laws of Physics and
The Laws of Time.
                   The laws of lawyers and
                                                      of Organized   Crime.

The Uncaused Cause,                                   

...

                 ­                   And                                  The Uneffected Effect.

The Unpolished Flaws,
And the Unfinished Project.

The Unwritten Rules and
The Unspoken Code.
The Unwitting Fools and
The Untraveled Road.

The Final Frontier,
And the Promise it gives...
The Things We Create
and the Life That Outlives...

The Dawn of the Century,
The Dusk of Mankind.
The birth of Something New,

Of a limitless Mind
                                              
                              Or is it really New?
Or was It done before?

And who is
the Ultimate Authority                          
on the Universe's lore?

And is Novelty
all that we aim to adore?
What about the Nothingness that came from
Before?
Did it have some Great Big Colorful Blob to explore?
Did We sunder the Stasis
forevermore?
...
Is there One God,
or an Infinitude?
...
What does it mean
to Truly Be

"The Dude?"

Or
Maybe the Many make up the One,
And from the One All
Things flow?
...
Have these Thoughts been Thought before?
How am I to know?
And
How about We Just Be
Good to Each Other
And
Help Each Other grow?
Just freshly written this morning. It is what it is. Depending on what your definition of is is

Three layers of metadata deeper…

servile gates ask,
"Pretty-print this minified file?"
option PRETTY-print
or Don't show again… learn more

ever these occur
pop up possible means beneath the image,
that was
my goal. The kids in holocaust garb
memeing me to not forget,
but those kids
look fatter
than the kids in Eli Wiesel's Night Scenes
from the Bible,
so I was seeking the source

blurr ie smear
QR code crossover, are we in the machine?

AI suggests we are of one mind,
some time
think if we
sing the syllables, roll the r's
roll all r's

Diwanit bugale
May you blossom, children
Didostait bugale Come near, children
Ar serr-noz hag ar gouloù deiz Dusk and dawn
Roit kalon din-me Give me courage

The future frightens me"

From <https://hellopoetry.com/poem/4441176/curious-fawn-makes-me-think-kalonou/>
Say it sing it, act as crazy as can be, nobody ever knows... that once, that one time, it all came out...
bubbles popping all along the distant shore, seen close as quantum foam.

common unleashed my thought  
proper capitalized my title
concrete engraved my pleasure
abstract fantasized my dream

nouns complete my poetry
nouns create actions for life
