Goodnight, Sweet Souls


Technology creates tools, but sometimes the tool creates dependency.
As the obsessive habit of taking selfies became identified as a mental disorder
by a panel of psychologists, we have further scientific studies revealing that children
using smartphones become less able to identify human emotional expression as time 
goes by.  Meanwhile, as data transference replaces learning, one must wonder if we 
are advancing as a species or beginning to regress.

We are gathered together,
Faces of a feather,
Embracing our world,
Through screens filtered,
Shaking cyber hands,
Speaking in text,
Replacing what is learned,
With data transferred,
And then lost,
With such a cost,
As we loose the way,
To converse,
Knowing expression,
Inflection,
Embraces,
And warmth,
We are people,
Loosing our way.

People,
All sorts,
Different ways,
Different thoughts,
Beliefs,
Unto anger,
On to peace,
On through love,
Relief,
For the masses,
Where they pass,
Through life,
Away from strife,
Peace,
Out in the noise,
Electric toys,
Screens of data,
Glass of illusions,
Mirages,
We seek our way,
On through the fray,
Within the storm,
Tattered and worn,
Tired,
Lost ever faster,
Serving our master,
Though name unknown,
Seen through a phone,
Fired,
Our hearts ablaze,
Love is the way,
For hearts can see,
What is to be,
Freedom,
We find our way,
God’s heart to say,
We seek His plan,
With outstretched hand,
And so we live,
With much to give,
In love.

Winds of Time



I just wrote this sitting here waiting for my wife so we can commute home together.  What is the title?  Breath of Life?  Breath of Time?  The Silence of Music?

The breath of life,
From the lips of wisdom,
Began the winds of time,
One heart beat first,
A fiery hearth,
Of intellect and love,
Below,
Around,
And above,
Uncontained,
Beyond limits,
Beyond imagination,
And beyond scope,
Bringing Creation to being,
Just for delight,
Bringing stars to mark,
The endless dead of night,
Bringing spirals of light,
From beneath the midnight sea,
Bringing the world to birth,
So He could bring you to me.

All of creation is a mirror,
Just a looking glass,
We are only aware of apparent,
Seen through the blindness of our eyes,
Barely beyond the skies,
For the limitless lies within,
Space upon space,
In infinitely smaller size,
For there is no small,
There is no size,
And in the Continuum of Love,
Creation is the joy,
Universes on Universes,
Within the same space,
Ourselves overlapping existence,
Standing in the same place,
Actions separated by time,
Time being just an illusion,
We perceive reality in slices,
To make sense of it all,
Rising since the fall,
God’s hand stretched out in love,
As we reach up to Him

To Buy Time


Some people do not believe in God, but still consider that actions from
an all powerful God would be miraculous in nature.  If one is all powerful, then actions
performed are actions in my mind.  What is miraculous to me is when the seemingly
impossible is done through human hands and I have observed many examples.  With that
in mind I will continue to smile, continue to believe, and continue to do wonderful
things until the day I meet the Greatest Miracle. 

Can time be manipulated?
And what if it could be?
For particles without mass alter time,
As gravity sends and bends its passing,
Photons permeate through it,
As light’s speed is everlasting,
Or is it?

Can light be slowed as it goes?
Perhaps if light were not light,
Exerting weight through the night,
Both in particles and in waves,
In quantum flux as one force,
Joining force with particles of time.

Binding such particles,
Both forward and back,
Changing spin for polarity,
In one solution’s singularity,
What if we could buy a past day,
Or take up future’s slack?

What is such a day worth,
Or even just a moment?
Words for someone no longer here,
Or time bought to find a cure,
So less souls would have to endure,
The path of pain towards death,
Full of darkness and of fear.

One could ask someone to come,
If there is hope to be,
Or for more hours together,
Two souls in Love’s tether,
A message of pure love,
For all to see.

Possibilities do not end,
To love,
To have,
To live,
To hate,
For finding,
For feeling,
For seeing,
For believing,
Just words…
All just words,
Which plant seeds.

Yet the Guide through darkness,
Leads all of us ahead,
We can hear His words,
Not seeing what He sees,
Feeling His hand on ours,
Is worth more than all said,
As Eternity is real,
As is endless scope from the Divine,
For with God within our hearts,
Who needs to buy time?
