Deepest Desires

I love days when

My spirit is souring

Like white doves fluttering

My heart is vibrant

Like a beautiful bouquet

My mind is crisp

Like a mountain range

I love days when

The train of life

Is carrying me to

An unknown destination

That promises to satisfy

My deepest desires

Known only by

My Creator

Dancing on the Edge

Life is a delicate balance

Or is it

Really?

Haven’t you ever

Pushed the limits

Of your body

Your mind

Your spirit

To find

You are still standing

Or you got back up

We waste so much of our precious time

Playing it safe

Normal

Acceptable

For the remainder of my life

I will push myself to the limit

I will dance on the edge of the table

Crystal candelabras be damned

If I should fall

I will get back up

But the universe respects boldness

And I believe it will cheer me on

Allowing me to teeter boldly

On the edge

Exploring “what if’s”

And “why nots”’

Until I slide sideways into the next life

Where I will not make the

Same mistake

Of living securely, safely,

Seated at the table

No

I will boldly live teetering

On the tables edge of possibility

Crystal candelabras be damned

Brave Your Ladder

I’ve reached the top of the ladder

A few times in my life

Only to find it wasn’t that grand

And often accompanied by strife

The next ladder top

That I hope to see

Does not revolve around work

This time what I aspire to be

Is an artist, an author, a mystic of sorts

Creativity combined with spirituality

Entertaining myself with learning

That ultimately encourages others

To brave their own ladders

And whatever they want….to be

My Professor

My Professor

Not the typical sort

Presenting new ideas

About God’s Word

Romantic movies

History

Tanqueray

Sarcasm

Reading

Revealing

The perversion of this world

Chasing after itself

Bound for destruction

Only one end in sight

Prophesied long ago

By the Only True Light
