"Drone" Goes to Disneyland
Beacon of Hope
The balancing need to keep on
with more to those of others
what has been gaining strength
in comfort it follows in its own terms
The best has yet to come
set aside the oceans lay
and allow its own intentions to be
the rise in needing to be more
It seeks without curiosity
smoothing sea foam scattering atop surface
for its acquired to use courage
tempting it has easily been distracted
For more than one chance to surge
on high seas into the crisp night
supported by guidance the difficult days
it thinks its willpower to understand glory
Able to transform forgiveness
by the currents of their ebb tide lay
whipping waves into the immersed rested
its captured by natural beauty
Still believed to be wild and free
"Bug"
Ageless
persevering the strong impulses
that come in the wake of a storm
accepting all they encounter
strategy is well consumed
folded into the hands of trust
to a higher awareness insisted
though returning to fast forward
a peace of mind receives beneath
for a change of pace to reality existed
as glanced upon by relief
though by belief those treasures hold key
into ageless wisdom giveth
"Cool Blue Cat"
Destiny
in confusions loss
to reality spent wisely
by err foolishness shatters
holding an illusion close
forcing limitations
the clarity takes place
face to face
for the divine's strength
shows a new dawn
the unexpressed turn emotional
of sweetest promises given to light
the intensity of all in its path
with one step closer
for rising of the sea
sketched a new ebb
a new encompass of destiny
"Halos"
Evermore
a rose always a rose
as the need for a love
to a pleasant day revealed
trusting patience relied on
expressed in a light hearted life
defending the desire from within
the feeling of exuberance
pursued by a hearts content
expressed, connected
to the glory arriving early
its beauty captured evermore
"Easter Island"
Life At Random
vitality opens the door
its own beauty reveals itself
into the fields of nostalgia inspired
by day ahead followed all hopes
surrounded by self changing
and honour to be beloved
respect is well deserved
into fields of wide open spaces
a dream to hearts desire returns
of simple pleasures empower beauty
appearing to become ones own
beholds the values purpose inclined
the respected trust is well deserved
communication reopens with kindred spirit
evening unites the skies finale
minding resistance releases power saved
a present beginning to reach in anticipation
so long to a moment of quiet nights lasting
willingly wisdom dictates life at random
for the last word of a poets ending surprise
"Cydonia Discovered"
The Journey ~ The Passage
declaring universal peace
all around you, shifted
attention paid in full
knowledge, words expressed
changed, not virtually motionless
dashing into reverse mode unspoken
re-evolving the irreversible
work through happenings, no reprieve
the turning tide perceived by passage
an inspiration reverted
leading far within miles hence
correcting mistakes learned
fall away from completion
its connection undertaken by us all
discouraged we are not to be scared
close to home is too far too long
this is the now
what is improved to be received
surrounding by values is such
as in honour to be trusted, respected
living through to tomorrow well deserved
"Fire Devil"
Wait
Simple thoughts are best bestowed upon us
What light shines like openings
Of your distant stars
Beauty from the outside in
Captured their own moments
What closing eyes can only see
In the breeze with just you and me
Reaching out longing to be wanting
For the night all day waiting
I'll be there tonight, I believe
"Green Phoenix"
Wisdom
The wisdom of your soul. And Love through it all.
Remember to dream.
To the life you live now. That shed light on you.
The future is what your heart desires.
In this lifetime and those. That may have come before.
The chance being given. A moment in time.
With words to follow.
Listen.
Dance to the music in your heart.
To light the darkened sky. Giving strength to carry on.
Let Love touch and heal. Giving hope to its dawn.
Nurture and gather through time.
Grounded in firm value.
A tribute to a life filled from its legacy of Love.
of Devotion, Emotion.
Ever branching outward.
Grab hold. Reach out..
For Love never fades.
Perhaps not stars in the sky. Rather openings.
No emptiness. No heartache..
Deep down inside..
The symbol of comfort in heart
"Hell Horse"
( a dedication to my late father):
Memories In A Box
The past upon the open shore
seen through the human eye
it is everything
not just anything
still there in my drawer
Not one such beauty as it can be
loving the most of
one set ivory, another jade
onyx of nothing you've ever seen
emerald, the one which holds me
To remember if I could
for once I am sure
thoughts once reflected
to become sentimental
will always be eternal
Once upon a time
these memories kept
as he traveled by far
to every beautiful place
each one of its own divine
Everywhere he once was
everywhere I never could be
and stay in its place
they're only just what I see
Memories in a box
Peace
I don't know why I could not cry
kneeling beside your stillness
no emotion on your face
no remorse left in place
with emptiness to myself
saying I Love you
so next to you I stand
as I held your rosary tight
in the palm of my hand
fear of lost memories fade
with ashes to ashes and dust to dust
your ocean set at sea
you will always be free
~ for dad (1926 - 1995
"From the storm"
In The Hands of Grace
words that heal the uplifting
adapting to versatility
by only truth steers reality
warmhearted to courage
life see's itself saved
yet for another day
we hold ourselves together
to one another
for as long as the sun rises
and midnight falls
seeing through with sense of wonder
for a change, for life continued
with each silver lining for sake
all childhood future's at stake
we are the miracle
in the eyes of a child
in the crossroads of our time
ending with no rhyme
dreams have a place to stay
with sympathy sorrow fades away
as we all join in together
hand in hand to a tomorrow in place
in joy's to beauty is to a child's grace
"Pyramars"
Patience
stars lay rested awaiting
from the night sky scattered
to stay there carefully
listening to the breezes call
with in mind I wait
for early rise of the moon
deepened with every look
I plan my dream to await me
for all that could
all that was
and all that will be
the virtue of patience
"Satin Dragon"
Love's Plea
Had I laid me down to rest
I saved the only thought to test
What sorrows fade away
As I fear of nothing to say
Hold close the negative to see
Truths breath only bares love's plea
"UFO Dream Ship"
Found
through to this heart
on the wings of hope
desired emotions soar
into a new world I see more
the strong survive
where vitality holds trust
for serenity entered
for peace of mind centered
unforeseen in reasons why
far away places sets the journey
one step closer the anchor raised
adventures join the path praised
once lost in a frightful storm
guidance brought me home

Harsh Reality By MMMSunBeach
a deep foreboding, almost a void
much to do - frozen in place
so much is written and overlooked
taken for granted - passes by
sidewalks are crowded
streets are over-driven
life not lived - dictated by greed of the moment
going on with the business of selfishness
life is now war
war - the way of life
steadying the next unsung hero
to fall for greed of government
scars that won't heal
pain - ever present
echoes of those lost
and those sent to rescue
nothing to bring home
but skeletons of time present
from bodies longing for time past

Glimpse of Memory By Diane (Dodom)
Glimpse of memory taunts my soul
Takes me to a place I've once known
Feeling a sense of familiarity
It's clearly been a reality
A flash of a memory I've experienced before
Only not in this life, but of long ago
Could it be reincarnation or just deja vu?
A revelation from God? or fragments of dreams that
Will remain a mystery as to why
A glimpse of memory returns to my mind

Cloak of Love
The true measure of love is not what you receive
It is what you are willing to let go of
There is not a single "I" in love
It is lost in the growing we-ave
As the weave becomes a stronger knit
The colors adjust and blend
What once was a beginning,now has no end
The we-ave that binds,becomes a perfect fit
I have found that if love is to survive
Diligence and patience is a must
hold tightly to the strands of "we' and "us'
And let go the "me's" and "I's"
