Woke up with a heavy heart,
Loud thoughts pulling me apart.
Longing for love I thought would stay,
But some things quietly drift away.

Still, in the quiet, I learn to grow,
From broken trust, new light can show.
And though the pain may not depart,
I rise again—with a tender heart.

Riding my motorcycle,
music whispering through my AirPods,
the drizzle kisses my skin,
but I keep going.

Then the rain thickens,
thunder growls like a beast in the sky,
and I don’t speed up.
I let the storm catch me,
daring it to take me,
wishing, maybe, it would.

But deep inside, I fear it too.
Not the dying
but the thought of not going instantly.
A cruel hesitation,
a war between surrender and survival.

How pathetic, how fragile.
I was only going 20 km/hour,
while I Love You So by The Walters
played like a farewell,
or maybe, a reminder
that I was still here.

I love Sunday for its quietness,
I love Sundays, for there is no rush.
I love Sundays for writing poetry.
I love Sundays for the hush.
I love Sundays for the calm before the storm.
I love Sundays because my mind reboots to the norm.
I love Sundays because I can take my soul for a walk,
And let it roam across heavenly realms.
I love Sundays to be without an agenda that I have to chalk.
I love Sundays, to remember.
I love Sundays, and that's where I will be,
Loving You more without animosity.

You slipped up,
You ****** up,
Creating that trap
Made for our attention;
The inter-net.
You can't help but gloat
That the cards are stacked,
But I've got your ticket.

The poor have the good news proclaimed for them. We rejoice for the good news is upon us. The word of God is with us and in us and among us. God, help us recognize your presence, to slow down and stop being BUSY (Buried Under Satan's Yoke). Hurry is incompatible with love, and it is the great enemy of the spiritual life. Too busy to do the right thing and too busy to do what we need and ought to do. Love is time consuming!

Jesus is about slow and taking time. Why else would he offer us ETERNITY?
My replies,
To comments,
Are slow, I was
Lost in time and,
I didn't see any of them at all.
If I don't get to thanking you for your support right away, trust that it's coming soon. <3

to what end wrestle ye with spirits in truth,
not a true Jungian complex if we slip the knot,
now, who started the dispute about right useness?

Table manners at a Norman Rockwell reenactment.

As eldest, I let my peace, first comfort me,
then extend, as joy in truth is our strength to use,
facilitate wait to see, which chocolate each remembers
- it's me as the never has been grand father
- establishing the fact that life remains
as much like a box of chocolates
as any random chance choices
acting a fan of symbiology
on holiday l'chaim
made so by holy
symbolic life experience
changes in the Christmas story,

the one where Mary's matters,
she being Luke's prime source,
James the Wise's mother,

Mere and pure, indeed, one idea
peaceable at nomination, wise
at the taste oh, the beguilement,
we can make secrets, ours, alone,

eh, holy ordained layer on of hands,
no, holy transcriber of tongues,
there are enough inspired
utterances ex cathedra
ala Azusa Street, and radio

mind trust building framed information,
so greedy deep that to this day, knowers
feel the genuine pain of wasted peace,

invested in hate needed to consume
according to planned economic
impression therapy, reset…

wars
for old ignorances
of custom, fief fee fidelity

501 c3, proven non profit…

duty due the personal will to say why

right works and wrong does not…

to tell the whole Bible story, as imbedded
in a disciple
to the kind
of being we form, as
rowdy boys let run a little wild as
has been practice in war societies,

or has been so fictional-ated
as to make no never mind

what if, ai ag us on one eclipse
explanation, sheer luc, by any measure

You gather all your experience,
pick any 27 years,
in acquisition sequence

-------
I can remember thinking different…

-- what more can a rescuer Dad attempt,

temptation to avert a train wreck,
praying to be led away from adversity

endured, enjoyed remembered,
encouraged to let this mind be,

in you, be ye bond or free, be leaving

the lessoning about to be wished loose,
as one's equivalent knot, to a yoke,

broken in the acceptable fasts,
we agreed, let every yoke be broken,

set the captives free, enforce reality,

or else, enjoy making up your own mind,

given the exact same mind, liturgically,
as the blessing of wisdom settles on us,
as we witness the weform this mind takes

and we feel light headed.
May be this, maybe that, what it is, in the end, is how it was remembered.
Did the peace abide, or did the stranger merely come to entertain a thought.

I had mistaken the embers for ashes.
I passed by, blind to the fire,
betraying the flames
and leaving the phoenix
for a more prescient pilgrim.
In too much of a rush.

Treacle-ly can be nice
Treacle-ly will be sweet
But never when making decisions
Don't treacle when we meet
