Chicken, having not met a giant before
was in awe
She didn't understand what was standing before her

A holy fear welled up inside her
Look at his size
Look at his socks
Look at his horns
No no no
He is not to be trusted
Not a feather on his body only fur
He is not to be trusted

Here she was feeling broken
Here was chicken all alone
Having been left behind
By those who should have cared
Here was chicken unarmed
In the face of a giant
Not a rifle 
Not a stick
Not a dagger

Chicken was left to her inner source
Her faith
Her hope
Her tears
She quickly realized
She had to survive in the face of this giant

She honed into her inner source
And there she found ways
And survive she did

 Consider Icarus

Humility will always steer you right

Excessive pride is expensive

Even at the cost of life

Consider Icarus warned

Consider Icarus in excessive mode

Consider Icarus wings melted to death

Overwhelmed he flew too high

Overwhelmed he got too close to the sun

Consider Icarus warned

Consider Icarus in excessive mode

Humility will always steer you right

 This Apple

Honestly, if i eat this apple,

My love will appear right here,

In front of me;


Like syrup of maple,

Our kisses can span the rigors of time,


Like clouds under azure sky

Like ripples over ocean skin

Live Anthony and Cleopatra

Honestly! Honestly!

Picasso On The Beach
Pablo and Olga k- i -s -s- i -n -g
On the sandy beach
They are not even seeing
The child within reach

Sun up and sun hot
Driftwood and care
These adults augnt not
To act without fear

When then the boy asks
If they were playing tag
They chose somehow to mask
The kiss with a zig and a zag

[Sunrise by Monet from Google]
And The Sunrise Was Good
Each sunrise magic of sky
Unfolds hope in newness
Licsence to create what
Yesterday never had even
If routine set the pace of
Dark night passed on

Sunrise is expected and mundane
Yet awesome in all its ways
The calling out again and again

 The morning drifts into

Three phases of awakening

Trees reappear for me and you

Though sun its rays are sharing


Here is something remaining

Happliy of the night

Heartfelt moon lingering

Holding on with all her might


Enough with tales of sky deeds

Every morning is new

Even bringing fresh those weeds

Ever hardy never few


Now all that matters is gratitude

No one ever is without

Nothing more true than atitude

Nourishing soul's no doubt

 On a branch i was your rose,

Blooming sweet before you froze

Our i luv yous.


The night wind spoke,

While i was yet asleep 

So you followed your whim.


Let's do him in

It said, but you didn't understand,

Horizons was the tesse.


So you sought your reverie,

And i, regretted yes, but

Determined to progress.


Left you alone to your seek,

Selfishness made you weak,

Now i can speak.


I grew and strived in sunshine

And in rain, all for the better,

Beautiful rose that i am.
