#alert
the fox spotted me;
as i rounded the corner
bags of groceries
jostling awkwardly
clutched in one fist
oblivious as i rummaged
the depths of my pocket
for the front door key
with the other
long before i spotted it;
that vulpine form
sleek and crafty
elusive yet stark
amongst these surroundings
more often heard
seldom seen
fleetingly at that
in the time that
it took me to recognise
this incursion
of the majesty of animal
upon the mundane of man
to stop and take notice
and give the underappreciated
the moment it deserved
to marvel as a child might
that cunning visitor had
already turned tail
determined and decided
it took its chosen course
without pause

Magnification and magic, majesty and jest, me?
My first thought on waking, or reaction acknowledging,
science, if any thing is sharp, it was made to become so.
Crystal vision, any reader in this medium has,
an attainment,
merit worn
by knowing
words hold
thoughts and thoughts occur in superstringy gnosisnot.
Over time, dust is drawn to the tangled web that we wove.
In visibility,
winds paint the Granite wall my bubble occupies,
melting the shallow snow,
enough for a California snowday. My mileau,
my conditioning reflexive zone,
bouncing a thought between reading minds morphing
wishes once thoughts,
aimed
as it were,
at hungry wolves, or troglodytes.
- My Grandfather, Caleb Boyett,
- has blessed me,
- no quest set before has not called
- on know how knots tie and solder mends
- learned from watching him, as a child.
- I was reared in a junk yard,
- with a bunch of happy dogs.
Stela, not
"Stella" from the common programing relative
to Hollywood, see
the sign.
Big-time, Robbie, big time, SHOW
bidness,
be kind.
I don't give a damnabouda greenback dollar,
spent it fast as I could,
or woulda, had I ever sold what must be sold,
to accrue money problems,
or secret stores to protect,
sense of will,
sense of pur- in advance guarding the niche
posed
under superpositioned words we all react on,
pinch of salt,
taken from the spiritual conception developed
as many children must have been set up,
to spill some salt,
so elders could guage,
measure
reaction to instruction, "toss a pinch of the problem
over your left shoulder-
to ward
off any malicious salt protectors mind cry.
Not a lie. In my realm, stories reign supreme,
and those who learn to tell them without lying
seldom prosper
as per standard class-ification projects,
historically called civil-ization.
-- so that's my que, 2023, snow melt negative space
patterns evoke… that word again,
several times today, 10:34
took pictures of the patterns in the snow
that look similar to some level of me,
to rock art in
Time and chance, perhaps I needed the provocation,
common senses, all agree, things occur with no ..... lost threads
Internet ties,
intellectual kin,
in the wildering edgewise meandering mind
we share
in time
we spend thinking thank you for reading my mind.

The Greatest wisdom
Is not taught
Anyhow you will learn
With time
If you understand
What is not said
Your personal wisdom
Is not
Written in most read books
No need
To join renouned universities
You will not learn it
From the noble teachers
It may not have many audiences
It is strictly customized
Just for you
You will learn it from
The Pretenders
The Traitors
The Failures
The Haters
The Actors
When you wake up
And when I say
I once was stupid
Underline that

Ink
blots
impossible
knots
testing the limits of
a circular drive
one hand on the wheel
the other copping a feel
of his passenger mate
dutifully nursing her neonate
foot goes down
to apply the break
fracturing fingers
is what it will take
to lessen
the voice
avoid
the slade
move
the mountain
tell me, don't floaters
eventually get flushed?

I laid down motionless with memories of me
Frozen as Everest recounting the dark
Foggy lights and the brightest darkness
Shadowed the clear path of my being
Crooked the road of life I saw
Winding through the river course
The cold snow seared my open skin
In the sun my bones chilled the lowest degree
Deception threw its towel at me
I caught it with revived naivety
And wiped my sweat not knowing the test
Temptation clouded my brightest morn
I saw ahead but failed to look
Ambiguous warmth run through my blood
As I received countless unsolicited visits
One hundred times a day
From the compulsory lesson-devils of life
While I beckoned them to tarry awhile
They marched in with their next of kin
Teaching me one lesson or two
To look well whenever I see
And listen better when I hear

Listen carefully
It may deceive
Being novel
For the reasons unknown
Corona is contagious
Stay
Ahead of it
Or behind
Spacing in between
Trust me
You will be safe
Survivor's guide
The way it is

Lines and lines, druggy times.
Bleeding nostrils and racing thoughts.
Fast heart beats and feeling distraught.
Alert and awake, thoughts are chasing me in a maze.
I've lost it, I'm back on the powder.
They call me Kat, because my spirit animal is one of a cat like creature, and my drug of choice.
Fierce, sneaky, stealthy, and mischievous.
Kat is my name, one of many different personalities.
Freaky is her demeanor.
Wired and full of energy, mind is coming down, muscle spasms are happening.
I need to sleep, 2 in the morning and I'm writing forbidden thoughts.
Dreams that are nightmares that aren't stopping, I have no hold.
Will it ever stop?
Control before it becomes an addiction.
Hold, or the demons will rain, toxic tears to my waking existence.

I am rabid,
I'm enraged,
I no longer
have a cage,
I am rabid,
I am starved
I am old
and full of scars,
I am rabid,
I'm awake,
I am here,
so is my ache,
I am rabid,
I am mad
I will bite
and I am sad,
I am rabid
I will spread,
I will make sure
that you're dead.

To be exact

To react
Natural and its beauty
Physically gone
Defined its motion
Never alone.

Keep Watch
Keep watch with me for an hour or so
Be vigilant for when I return you do not know
Keep watch through the darkest light
Keep watch and you will surely see the light
Be alert for the hour is quickly drawing near
For those who are prepared there is no cause for fear
Stay awake with me in the garden as I weep
Though it is hard, do not give in to sleep
Be with me as we walk side by side
Be wary when life is good of the sin of pride
Keep your eyes open and fixed on your savior and friend
And in the storms my Guardian Angels I will send
Can you not stay awake for an hour in the day
Are your eyelids so leaden that you drift off in slumber
Be watchful be awake for one day I may call your number
Are you ready when I come again in glory and power
Will you stand strong and tall where evil cowers
Are you open to the Spirit’s guiding
Are you filled with wisdom and understanding
Do you proclaim the good news and do so in the power of my name
Do you live in my love and are you forever changed
Do you seek first to understand then be understood
Do you seek to make peace where there is war
Do you work for the common good
The time is now, what are you waiting for
Open my eyes to see with your love and truth
Open my heart to the joy and faith of the youth
Open my life to your wisdom and plan
Open my soul as only you can

Watch for the star shining in the east
Watch for the prowling of the beast
Watch for the light that neither falters nor dims
Listen for the sound of the angelic hymns
Watch for the coming of the one true king
Watch for the baby in the manger
May we bless him by the gifts we bring
May we see him in the face of the stranger
Watch for the day that is drawing near
Watch and be wary so you can hear
Him when he comes in all his glory
To write the final chapter in creation’s story
Watch and wait with bright joyful eyes
Watch Christ and ever stay fixed on the prize
Watch and see the greatest gift the world got
Do we remember or acknowledge? I think we have not
I wish I could see what Jesus sees when he looks at you and me
I wish I understood the price he paid to set us all free
I wish I could turn our thinking upside down
And I wish I could make people smile more than frown
I wish a lot of things but what can I do to make an impact
To change or save a life and not be an act
The little things we do can turn the world
There is poetry in all nature and a flower unfurled
So let us watch for the coming of our precious savior’s birth
Reminding the world just how much we’re worth
That Christmas is so much more than just stuff
We have family friends and faith and that is quite enough

I stare at the layers of your lips wanting them to brush against my skin like peddles dancing in the wind when it's spring;
feeling the fine print of your hands well defined by your touches
like no other has ever touched me
As I watch you leave the front door exiting our palace; I beg for God's mercy to bring you back safely as you came that fist day we've met on the ocean side in the late spring
I count 23 days with the celebration of having you in my life plus the months
You say worry no more but I can't help but realize how much you mean to me and how much I want to make this small beginning a forever...
How much do you love me?
You ask so boldly
Little do you know I love you with everything that makes me who I am with my flaws and perfections
I love you like everyday is the last day to tell you that I love you
I love you that much to tell you ahead of time that I'm in love you

I found you/ a musical note
in a pond full of static
we made a soundtrack
that no one ever heard
drowned out by sirens
a gap that just widens
you were my unique find
I'd do anything for you
but stay

An artist needs a muse
Like how the suicidals need the noose
Feelings feeding the fears
And fear feeding the tears
Round and round
Its how the carousel the goes
Never really getting anywhere
The choice is yours to get on
Like how the poet chooses his quill
But what you pour on the parchment
Can never be choreographed
Cause the heart will bleed on its own accord
So spoiler alert to the suicidal artists
Your muse will be your noose.

My Heart Awakens every day
Desiring to express in some way
A few thoughts that Occur
About the coming Dawn
Like the Happy Birds
Singing before the Sun
Kisses the Sky and Beyond
Moments like these
Then pump through
Every part of my Being My Body
Slowly Seeping into my Brain
Dare they Refrain
Until I feel attuned
To all that surrounds me
Is flowing fully Within me
Truly it is lovely
Natures Song
Then Equips me
To set about my Path Daily
Glad I am part of Life's Throng.

Nervous or something
Doing something like this for the first time in your life?
If so,
a little bit of nervousness helps in life,
since a little bit of nervousness is always there when you start with something new,
something which was never done before in life,
thus making a little bit of nervousness always right.
A little bit anxiety gives light to the fact that you are alert, awake and conscious to the fact that any moment in time something might go wrong.
Quite seriously something like this goes on at the back of mind
Quite seriously something like this must have happened somewhere back in the past in life
Never mind, there is always a first time in everyone's life
So what if the mind feels anxious
So what if it comes to the mind that everything will not fall in it's place
Never mind, there is always a first time in everyone's life.
Change of mind leads to deviation
Change of attitude leads to diversion
Finally everyone's makes his own choice depending on the need of hour.
New to a thing
New to something.
Something which was never done before,
then never mind,
mistakes happen in life.
Always remember mistakes are lessons that need to be learnt and revised in the present with regards to an uncertain future.
Mistakes are bound to happen
Since nobody is completely perfect,
at some point in time each individual makes a mistake in his life.
If a mistake is made then the first thing to do is to accept the fact that a mistake made, since facts never change and truth can be stranger than fiction.
Now the best thing to do is to learn from the mistake that is made.
In doing this an otherwise dull life becomes very much interesting,
if not engrossing.
Mistakes happen,
everyone makes a mistake in his life,
however important is to learn from those mistakes,
gain experience through the process of learning,
then see how life changes,
then see how it will boost your level of confidence,
something which will be the need of hour at a given moment in time.
Different will be the way of looking at life once a mistake that is made is accepted as a mistake,
from then onwards life will tend to tread along a different path,
of course, which will be right.
So never give up in life, since there is always a ray of hope for those who agree and accept upon the fact that it's their own responsibility to fight against the odds that come along the way in life.
Strange are the ways of life
Strange seems life,
however,
if routine is always followed,
then it's just not possible to add a new flavor to life.
In doing something different,
one thing is going to happen for sure,
a mistake or two is bound to happen.
Don't worry because mistakes happen
Learn from those mistake.
Life goes on
Life continues
Life follows the present moment in time, which will very soon be a thing of past,
then the next moment in time will come taking the place of moment that has passed and thus becoming the present moment in time.
Life goes on
Life continues
Life follows the present moment in time.

When He's here.
When I have night terrors, he's next to me.
When I laugh, he smiles with me.
When I get stressed, he distracts me.
When I'm working, he follows me.
When I cry, he kisses my tears.
When I wander, he's always at my side.
When I became paralyzed, he became more alert.
When I need a hug, he accepts my one armed hug.

Surrounded on all sides by the sudden prospect of doom.
He attempted to create some more room between what life he had left and an imminent death.
"Time flies when you're having fun,"
so isn't the opposite true?
How many eons did he spend doing things he hated?
How many lifetimes he must of lived through;
loathing his dreary circumstances,
his hobbies,
his friends.
Surrounded himself with dullness in order to blunt the passage of time.
I mean, in that situation,
what would you do?
He forewent all sense of pleasure for the sake of a longer life,
but in the end,
he lost it too.
