Catching up with today’s savers
Weaving reed baskets
Whipping a meringue of shoulders
To an open air lobby
Forming every moment
Restoring us…

I am the daughter of poor in
A jewel isle of the sun, just one of them
Telling of ascension, it’s only a movie
One of which I’ve felt before
Have you noticed?
Streams are flowing heavier
Only seven days in a week
Is it Friday Yet?
I’m floating on an ocean of elevation
One leg hanging over the side
Evening stars setting every night
Holding open a doorway
Translating spirals of sacred flames
In all magnificence, destiny’s people dancing
Two genders collide, where oneness expands
Anti aging physical training
Integrating betterment for all


If every single human being thought about unity…and their connections
About the vast effects we have with every single decision we make; and every single life we touch
in a good way or a not so good way...
If we touch others in a not so good way,
How we change their lives...for the not so good

How our creations would certainly expand
If Courtesy were a source of manifestation
If we realized, emotional, mental & spiritual expression was not
Co-dependent on another’s approval or love…which is unparalleled permission
To be successful…what is happy?
Happy is rejoicing for another’s success, it is here, waiting parallel
To take our hands…

Loving unconditional is a consciousness to a mutual consent with self
Collecting harmony in understanding…allowance, the essence of being confidence in our belief….
We are never all on the same plain at the same time
And each has a significant purpose to excel
It is up to each and every one of us…to compliment and encourage
No matter how far behind we might feel at that time
Without anger or a feeling of rejection
Feeling rejection...well simply, isn’t that another way of saying, I wanted it my way?

some would call you a pollyanna, much like me, but if only the world would take off the
grey shades and wear rose colored glasses like us.......what a world it would be.

hats off, filled with good old fashioned idealism

May very well adopt this as my new mantra. Loved it!

There is so much positive energy in much that you write...I see it again in this one...and can picture you just so, as above!

Barvo! This poem made me rise to my feet and applaud....all these statements meet with agreement in my mind..not only are they heavy with content, but put in poetic form, Like two grand gifts.. Thank you for them...

Hello Lee

Your words spoke so many truths and I hope many people get to read this.

Take care.........Sue

P.S.  Thank you for the lovely comment you left on my poem, Hobo.  It is nice to be missed.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

oh...I can do this, sometimes daily, but then somebody comes along and spoils it! (that's just a gigglewink of me laughing at ME, LeeJ)

I really wish I were more consistent. So hard to do and evolve, tho, yanno?

I loved this, if you couldn't tell.
