Now

I look back on all of my past;
thinking what I’d rearrange;
nothing from history ever lasts;
and history, cannot be changed.

For all of the past has been frozen;
every part of it;  etched in stone;
constant anguish from choices, chosen;
and I can’t go change it

Not Like You

A daisy will never become a rose;
nor a honey bee change to a bird;
a builder most likely will not compose;
the sweetest song that we heard.

A grizzly bear won’t adopt a fish;
he will likely eat him, instead;
a wishing well won’t grant a wish;

A Surprise

Today, I took a taste of life;
my palate sensing it’s flavor;
even tho embracing strife;
each single experience, savor.

Awakened; emerging from my cocoon;
the death of nighttime, now gone;
this new day couldn’t come too soon;
for I was ready for life to go on.

Depth

What exactly is meant by depth;
is it some form of linear distance;
and what is the meaning of breadth;
is it width, at word’s insistence?

Words enable us to define reality;
but, sometimes they express lies;
words occasionally speak of finality;
yet, we all know nothing dies.

am I finished, before I begin?

Failure is the great teacher of life;
perhaps that’s what I’m to be;
if you doubt it;

Hate's Vocabulary

Words; windblown expressions of thought;
thoughts that are transformed to sound;
they don’t always say what they ought;
yet, they affect all the people, around.

Words had their beginning as simple tools;
communication of reality; their design;
thoughts, themselves, converted to jewels;
expressing majesty and beauty, devine.

All fashioned

Circularity

Life is not a linear function;
it is not from beginning to end;
it can’t be halted by injunction;
as raindrops, it will always descend.

All life began as thoughts on the mind;
that Universal Consciousness had within;
each particle a replica of the same kind;
from the One

Word Becomes Flesh

What is meant by, “Word becomes flesh,”
as a Bible verse claims truth to be?
It means one reality, takes another one’s place;
and an energy became flesh you could see.

Every word spoken was authored by thought;
for thought, alone, spoke reality to be;
and, when to fruition,
