Still There

Still There

Everything in this life; comes at a price;
absolutely nothing is free;
whether; it be knowledge, or simply advice;
or even our liberty.

Most long for the aphrodisiac of power;
while others seek silver or gold;
there are even thorns on a beautiful flower;
whatever is known; will

If Only....

If Only….

Past memories plague us; when we’re old;
especially when sad and lonely;
tho some thoughts are like silver or gold;
others, make us ponder; “If only….”

If only, my life took a different path;

The Dawn Of Realization

The Dawn Of Realization

Throughout the ages; we lacked understanding;
becoming a kingdom of abject capitulation;
in a realm of reality; that’s universally expanding;

A Sense Of Entitlement

A Sense Of Entitlement

Every generation brings a nuance to reality;

An Inconvenient Life

Sometimes; a circumstance becomes inconvenient;

Dreaming Of Possibilities

Dreaming Of Possibilities

Earth is the wondrous kingdom of dreams;
each; becomes, according to abilities;
we ebb and flow; in constant life streams;
while dreaming of possibilities.

All things are possible for those who believe;
for the powers of God; reside within;
even miracles; whatever we can conceive;
thought is
