"Leap and the net will appear."
I have been trying to live my life under this precept. I have a glass frame outlining the message for me to see everyday. The net only appears when I am in need and is helping me with surrender. Surrender to all which I cannot control.

Truth
Slow Down and you will see,
Bigotry and intolerance still thriving.
Anger and disappointment of young and old,
Hope extinguished and lost souls abundant.
Slow down and you will see,
The impoverished turned away,
Solders who endure their pain alone,
A culture that excises differences,
And bureaucracy that takes and seldom gives.
Slow down and you will see,
Greed and self interest separating classes.
Imports that fail before use,
A do-it-yourself world of complexity and trappings.
That leaves one cold and hollow.
Slow down and you will see,
The frustration on peoples faces,
The absence of laughter and love,
The struggle of growing old,
And the hypocrisy in living free.
Stand and make a change,
Shout at the top of your lungs,
Like life depended on it,
Because it does.
Slow down and make a difference.
Bigotry and intolerance still thriving.
Anger and disappointment of young and old,
Hope extinguished and lost souls abundant.

Touch Me
If you touch me, I will feel you.
I will sense your humanness and your being.
If you touch me, I will feel you.
when for a moment our souls are revealed.
The boundaries of my heart I feel limitless, temptations prevail.
My inadequacies lusting to be calmed.
As if in a nights passing I may become ordained with life’s beauty.
My once hidden light will again be bright and surround me like a halo of purity, protection and acceptance.
I am able to be whole and giving and rich of promise.
If you touch me, I will make you proud.
I will make you feel the warmth of my heart and the vibrance of my spirit.
I am hopeful. I am waiting.
I will sense your humanness and your being.

My Friend
You don’t know me,
nor I you.
A dance that lasts a lifetime,
a serenade of secrets.
You don’t know me,
nor I you.
Until we forgive ourselves,
for the illusions we hold deep.
Until the fear subsides within us,
to, without hesitation, show us real.
And feel acceptance,
with no question.
Until we become plain,
no jealousy, no holds.
And the warmth of our being,
our only protection.
You don’t know me,
nor I you.
Until we see through each other eyes.
and suffer through each others pain.
And we celebrate within each others heart,
Surrendering all that we are.
nor I you.

Luminescence
I see your pain,
in the fear and loneliness of your tomorrow’s,
as life quiesces from it’s serpentine path,
and straightens in a rite of passage.
Finding solace in life’s moments.
I hold you still,
and allow memories of children and sweet things,
to refresh your spirit.
You know right and wrong,
but act without remorse.
and with everyone now abandoned,
A man so evolved, to bravely act alone.
One who speaks truth,
derived from his meaning of life.
I see, calmness, as an exhibition of heart for all those who dare listen.
In your luminescence and the shadows,
escape a frail and tired prison.
where ravaged body from inside out,
is left alone drowning in it’s own brilliant light.
Letting go of mortality,
so spirits travel far.
Letting go of purpose,
so loneliness loosens grip.
and pain mutes..
You’re wish is to fly,
So I hold you, to ground unanswered questions.
What’s down is up my friend,
In love, I’m caught in your departing plume,
In love, I’m irradiated,
glowing with your essence for all to see.
I am filled,
your best, compounding mine.
so I may give more fully now,
and pass it on the same.
With a promise of together,
when our work is barely done.
until we catch a glimpse of each others smile,
making faces in the clouds.

Renal Failure - anarchy rap
1st Verse
This War be shakin’ me up,
white house stooges shake me down.
all roads are dead-end,
hopes and promise pretend,
the terrorists are within.
Economy doomed, hypocrisy looms,
go the wealthy and the man.
like self-appointed outlaws,
big business has its plan.
Exxon has its billions,
forget the starving childrens.
forgot the bigger scandal,
cell phone and seat belt citations
that’s all the cops they handle.
Civil rights explodin’,
still a gun you’re totin’.
ain’t learned a fucking thing,
four decades and still votin.
Stripin’ all our rights,
Uncle sam gots all the guns.
no longer for the people,
the weight is like a ton.
Refrain
And the pimps and pink panties on Q Street
they sing a song so sweet,
they sell more crack than meat,
our people take the heat.
2nd Verse
The elected are all useless,
rhetoric to confound us.
come inauguration day,
no memory of promise.
Wall Street crashin,
business thrashin,
Sam gives out our billions,
to corporate crook cotillions,
to save their ass resilient,
forget the coked out children,
forgot the working heroes,
tell mom’s their fallen soldiers,
died to bring honor! ....for_what?
And the pimps and pink panties on Q Street
they sing a song so sweet,
they sell more crack than meat,
our people take the heat.
3rd Verse
Hydrocarbons, icebergs meltin’
wave your arms, but don’t stop sellin’,
strip the forests, pluck the egrets,
money, money, no re’-grets,
Call it greed, call it evil,
we all know, its just political,
no place for peace, it ain’t rabbinical,
kill the enemies till they’re all dead,
squeeze the people, fuck their heads,
liberty, democracy, paint it red.
The world is sick,
our leader’s weak,
corrupt with power, not for meeks,
the outlooks bleak,
deceit, defeat, repeat…repeat.

No More Dr Scholl's
The noise in my mind brings chaos to my roots,
I loose myself in the torrent,
Racing thoughts of duty and dilemma,
Paralyze my spirit,
I gasp a last breathe of life.
Echoing, what’s my purpose.
I find a plateau to rest,
Promising comfort for a moment,
Where satisfaction eludes my grasp,
I stand rigid in my own shadow of excess.
And Now….stripped of crutches,
In a simple, uncomplicated story,
I soak in humility,
And want for nothing at all.
The quiet in my mind brings chaos for a second,
As it frightens me of things forgotten and lost,
I confirm my quest,
Focusing on the quiet.
I have calmed the demons about my soul,
Embraced by love in each others caring,
My gift, a package which doesn’t need unwrapping,
And my purpose, to spread unconditional love,
I loose myself in the torrent,
Racing thoughts of duty and dilemma,
Paralyze my spirit,
I gasp a last breathe of life.
Echoing, what’s my purpose.
I find a plateau to rest,
Promising comfort for a moment,
Where satisfaction eludes my grasp,
I stand rigid in my own shadow of excess.

Spirit Self
What is this solitude death?
a monument to forever, in a perpetual cycle of bliss..
a destiny, a choice, a gateway, a sentence,
an extension of our spiritual presence, that reunite all who come.
Living with humility, a budding flower, naïve and pure.
wretched not in anger nor misery bare, but standing tall in a field of flesh.
as a testament of mortal connections,
baked with imperfection and crusted in self doubt.
I am done,
when all have wept and scorned,
when death gives birth to life. a baton taps attention to our magnificence,
our Opus,
I embrace earth and humanity, and am exposed in truth,
For in me, all things are possible.

Boxes
I challenge the world to contain me.
Am I testing myself or just finding my way?
If living is defined by life’s challenges,
Then I exist to bump its’ sides.
Pushing, Pulling, Climbing, Scratching,
I claw myself to freedom?
Do I settle?
Do I adjust?
Do I fit?
Do I care?
Only deliberates are values else my mind an open field.
I have no respect for boxes,
equality is all that’s true.
I have no use for boxes,
That which destroys human mandate
I abhor boxes,
causing impotence and death of the spirit.
My intuition now a distant beacon.
Failure is an insult that drives my passion
and I, no will to compromise.

My Wish
I wish beauty to come from innocence,
spawning forgiveness, with a certainty of intent.
I wish for no memory of fault or flaw.
to only derive motivation from visualizing possibilities,
an acknowledgment of what’s wrong
and a willingness to uncompromising change.
I wish for openness to explore new ideas,
and a spirituality that transcends self.
I wish for humbleness,
to accept ignorance and impaired judgments and excitement to learn.
I wish that strength equates compassion.
and in all of this,
I wish for tireless energy to make a difference.
