light and shadow …..
green and yellow
leaf and grass
dirt and twig ~ what I
see and feel
choose to remember
and then….. how I express
the experience
is my uniqueness
in the form of creation

who we really are
will eventually
come to light
out of the darkness
to be exposed
before all
no matter
how well dressed
under the clothes
of deceit
it is hidden
even if
under the guise
of purity
in the image of
the creative source
this spiritual aura
of righteousness
in the light of day
we will be exposed
left naked
before all
to render
everlasting judgement
for our deeds
with our integrity
left in question
what else do we have
but the perception
of our name
by others
who we are
through the annuls
of time…….
peace out

when it comes
to
our dearest
most cherished
friends
those we love
with all
our heart
there are times
we
feel helpless
about being able
to
hold them
comfort them
and assure them
that they will be
able
to
find
the strength
the courage
to
FACE
what’s
before them
day
by day
so they
will be able
to
keep going
on…… and on
the best they can
with the help
of the love
given them
by us
their friend
peace out

I stand naked
before you
with nothing to hide
through the acceptance
of who I am
I’ve shed like clothes
from the body
the quilt and shame
the burden
of me being me
so I can live freely
the best I can
within the shadow of
MY ABNORMALITIES NORMALITY
with the inhibitions
and the self-percieved
restrictions
it imposes on me…..
until you can do
the same
accept yourself
for who you are …..
I will fight for you ~
your freedom
from the prison
of your fears
filled with quilt
and shame
as I do for myself
’cause I have this dream
of you and me
on this walk
out in the world
with nothing to hide
completely naked
without fear
quilt or shame
free of our burden
where you and me
really create
the life
we want
for ourselves
My Image with Words were created for my friend in life, RAW.

We the people
of the One Race
THE HUMAN RACE
must see the wisdom
and benefit to all
in continually striving
to grant and then
guarantee
each and every
individual
regardless of
skin color
sex
gender
nationality
ethnicity
culture
or belief
the liberty
to exercise freedom
through an
adaptively
resilient
transitional
and transformational
process
of intelligent
progression
similar to the butterfly
from cocoon
to flight. ……
……. experience fully
the right of choice
equality
and justice
for all
therein
the co-evolutionary
creation of
a social environment
where all
groups formed
comprised of
individuals
grown in liberty
will reap the blessings
of freedom as well
peace out

the way of ~
me …..
this modern day poet
THE PROCESS
is still a solitary life
~ of contemplating
THE WORD of ~
the poetic kind
even though different
from the typewriter
I play TAPS on the keys
~ of a little black
laptop ……
that emerge forth
what I thunk
about life ……
into the new post window of ~
my online WordPress blog
where such words
~ of the poetic kind
patiently await …..
like an embryo developing
inside the womb of ~
creation
to be born
through one click
~ of the mouse
on the PUBLISH button
the way of ~
me …..

you may have lost
all interest with me
no longer can you look
straight into my eyes
and let me see
more than just
the outer you
you intentionally
lower your head
eyes diverted
to the ground
so to cut
yourself off
from seeing like before
into my inner world
the heaven and hell
body ~ mind and soul
that’s fully me

an optical illusion ~
well ~ a magnificent
demonstration
of a law in physics
this occurrence
to
the naked eye
appears
perfectly circular
and astutely aligned
in pristine formation
replicated down a row …..
~ half a physical object
made of stone
and mortar
created by
human hands
the other half
this mirror image
or scientifically said
paraphrasing Wikipedia
this so-called “wavefront
does this magical
interface
whatchamacallit
between two different
kind of media
a wavefront
that returns
yes returns
right back
into the very medium
from which
the damn thing
originated” ….
…… more plainly speaking
they are the shape
of an aqueduct’s
arches
reflected
back
from
a shiny surface ~
~ a river’s water
slowly flowing
along its course
until spilling over
a small
dam like fall
next to a road
called Hudson …..
….. where this
keen
observer
has stood in awe
while
reflecting on
such wonders
of nature’s beauty
and then
somehow
give it
remembrance
through image
with my
Smartphone camera
captured within
an artistically
paint brush
type of look ~
~ an optical illusion
