You can’t beat fate

with the stars in alignment

You can’t beat fate

all your ducks in a row

You can’t beat fate

with your words in confinement

You can’t beat fate

—till you let it all go

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

Become what you are

false prophets be damned

The greatness within you

beyond their command

 

Become what you will

His light shining forth

Expanding the moment

—yourself as the source

 

(The 1^st Book Of Prayers: March, 2023)

 

Portals of perception …

they used to get taught

to seekers and dreamers

and children unwrought

 

Depravity and greed

force fed to the young

with lies and betrayal

—their futures forgone

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

The Pied Piper of failure

loose in our schools

Cacophony playing

of pedants and fools

 

He lures and beguiles

to those innocent souls

Who locked in his footsteps

—will never be whole

 

(The New Room: March, 2023)

Tomorrow left abandoned

with every choice I make

Constricting all potential joy

and limiting my fate

Each short term indecision

restricting unrestrained

My future playing out of tune

a timed and dull refrain

Most often I have missed it

when no outweighs a yes

For temporal gain my judgment strained

—an orphan in regress

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)

God is dead

your Divinity wakens

the Word incarnate

—each breath fortells

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

We’ve lost the ability

to laugh at ourselves …

P.C. humor both lifeless

and dry

Our levity as tepid

as our character flawed

Fraying the tightrope

—awaiting a fall

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

In deepest memory

my mind escapes

to places yet journeyed

undreamed they await

 

In deepest memory

the future untold

awaiting unbeckoned

—the next bell to toll

 

(Dreamsleep Tribute To Laura Nyro: March, 2023)

 

If consciousness dies

is that all there is

or does some higher state

reimagine what was

 

When consciousness dies

will birth reoccur

no longer indentured

to time and its spurs

 

If consciousness dies

do rainbows of light

take over our essence

transcending our sight

 

When consciousness dies

is confusion bereft

as reference get buried

—and prescience resets

 

(The New Room: March, 2023)

 

Requesting

forgiveness

from the dead

My will

crossing over

no longer misled

Requesting

forgiveness

my debt was set free

Destiny

reckoned

—atonement complete
