Uplifted

What's this 

lifting my heels?

Can this

be at all real?

I feel so light

and I feel

as if I'm 

filled with light.

Gently I begin

to ascend

then

transcend 

earth bounds

of men.

How did this

begin

and when

will it 

end?

I am nigh 

to the sky.

Is this

what it's like

to die?

Suspended 

I'm above 

all the stuff

my descended 

self

once loved.

Higher somehow 

I've climbed

to the clouds

of a lifted

and shifted

paradigm.

Always

have I believed 

no way

could this ever be.

Now floating 

I'm knowing --

miracles are 

possible 

and magic is

inexhaustible.

Inside > Out

Join me on a ride

through the world inside...

Lies roar.

Ego soars.

Worry howls.

Fear growls.

Anger bites.

Hatred strikes.

Selfish flows.

Pride crows.

Passion glows.

Envy grows.

Brainwaves surge.

Urges emerge.

Monsters evolve.

Gremlins gnaw.

Dogma barks.

Spark starts.

Thoughts talk.

Demons stalk.

Silence implodes.

Violence explodes.

Darkness inborn.

Carcass reborn.

As within

So without.

The ins

The outs --

Inside

⬇️

Out.

Inner Being

⬇️

Outer Seeing.

Human illumined.

The Thing About The Thing

So it's the whatchamacallit 

in Wally's wallet 

And the whozeewhatzit 

in suzy's closet

And the HULLABALOO 

that stews in Lou's 

mulligan stew 

And the bugaboo who 

bugs and boos you too

And the shenanigans happening 

to Hannigan again and again

And the glitchy doohickey 

that's tricky to fix

And the THINGAMAJIG 

that's ginormously big!

It's the thingum 

that makes 'em 

say

HIP HIPPITY HOORAY!

and then some

Oh boy oy Vey...

It's the hodgepodge 

of hogwash 

that discombobs 

And the thingamablob 

that makes bob 

blubber and sob.

It's BLOOPERFAILAGOTCHAMISSEDITMESSYALLATROCIOUS 

and the OKIE DOKIE HOKEY POKEY of BOGUS HOCUS Pocus.

It's buckets of bupkis 

And a whole lotta NADA

So Whatevachachoozycallit...

SHEEESH!

THE THINGY IS

TO SOLVE IT.

Battle Cry

Awake to light

Faith to fight --

Strength to stand

Will to withstand --

Devotion to defend

To the very end --

Angle to attack 

Angel at my back --

Wherewithal to crawl 

When all else falls --

Vision of victory 

Witness to history --

Energy to endure 

For today

Lord

I am at war.

 Behold my

fighting stance.

This is my

fighting chance.

Thank You for this

chance to advance.

Amen.

Food for Thought

A Delish Dish of English 

Do you oft bite off

more than you can chew?

Who doesn't want his cake

and to eat it too?

Bad apples fall not far from the tree.

Bad eggs can become the big cheese.

Ginger is one spicy carrot top.

Full of beans, she's the cream of the crop.

Hazel Nutt is out to lunch.

Will she ever come back?

Well in a nutshell

She's a hard nut to crack.

Pie in the sky is half-baked.

Sizzle fizzles.

Where's the steak?

The gravy train crashed and spilled the beans.

A surprising yet appetizing scene!

Hot potatoes don't quit cold turkey.

Cows are had before beefs become jerky.

The couch potato is slower than molasses

Drinking like a fish from half-empty glasses.

Breadwinners make the cheddar 

and bring home the bacon.

There's an apple in her eye 

and a bun in the oven bakin'.

Spilled milk 

ain't exactly 

Joe's cup of tea.

Sugar Daddies 

Hot Tamales --

Honey is bittersweet. 

He egged her on when she buttered him up.

That's the nature and the flavor 

of sugarcoated love.

Humble pie takes the cake.

That's the way the cookie breaks.
