Twenty
Twenty times twenty
Equals with
Forty times forty
And more
When that is seen
Wash yourself clean
Of all that was wrong
Before
Open the door
Look from the floor
Gain freedoms
Not known
Before
Doing times tables
For all types not able
To reach heads of death
Inclined for
Before
R.A.S. 2020
_____________
In the midst of it all
You get a call
Not at all what you were expecting
No more delays
Getting out of the haze of the daze of days
Into the light
Out of the plight of wrong and wing right
No longer the fight
Or panic in fight or flight but clear, excellent insight
Ready or not
You get what you got and move on
R.A.S. 2020
____________
It’s challenging being asked to sing positive or happy song…
…when looking at our world that’s got, people who’re not …
…troubled by the rot they inherited, but happily spread it further…
(causing consequences…challenging others born into)
…expecting not a murmur from those affected by their obscenities…
…obstructions, disruptions, destructions…mayhem and murder…
……………..Yes……it’s……extremely……challenging…………….
But…I’m alive and I strive to sometimes do so. Hoping the mistakes I make…
…are graciously taken…not causing earthquake of mind or matter…
…perhaps even unheard…above all the loud, truly destructive, intrusive, disruptive, does matter and, chatter.
R.A.S. 2020
_______________
The tree debris laying soft beneath the avenue that, from Spring time, becomes covered in leaf canopy.
As if, during this late part of winter, nature’s own tree surgeons have been extremely busy
Greeting me untidily. I love that the debris didn’t fall on me.
The delicious smell of pine as my wheelchair wheels and pine needles entwine.
What joy to be here breathing it all in, as my canine friend and I, quietly, in awe, pass by.
R.A.S. 2020
_______________
At times intense pain gives my brain acute articulate ability
At times Fibromyalgia symptoms mess everything there around
Into jumbled, crumbled fragments of scattered, articulate inability.
At times combining but, apparent in my brain
My personality, beside my evolving understanding
Remains with much more else to know, to discover, maybe even gain.
R.A.S. 2020
____________
Born into consequences
What’s that about?
Made me want to shout
But I didn’t.
Instead I endured
Suffered more untoward.
The living interferences
Found me askew
Lied about and lied to.
You?
R.A.S. 2020
____________
For me this world is worth it
As are most beings on it.
It delights, with rights
It saddens with wrongs.
Who truly belongs?
Many people face it, embrace it,
Learning daily, fair ways to grace it.
Others storm, divide, and hate,
Those cause much harm and alarm,
Often oozing false charm.
Is it to inspire artistic desire,
Poetic and musical activity?
Creativity.
How to deal with the rot?
We, who are global patriot.
Who truly belongs?
R.A.S. 2020
_____________
Continuously feeling the pull
Of deep, dense miseries.
Recognition of depression
Ignites lights in me.
Changing, rearranging
My ‘now’ missions.
Will that uplift?
Will I a-bridge?
or,
Do I need
To leap across
This rift?
Gravity.
R.A.S. 2020
_____________
In the sweet times
We forget the sour
The dour, the poor
The rich, the obscene
We ignore all
That came before
Not thinking of the morrow
Or all the sorrow
In the sweet times
While there
Others lack our care.
R.A.S. 2019.
_____________
Dad(1920-2013)
The altruist and the stoic
In one family
She a she.
He was a he.
They’d argue it’s true
“You must see my view”
“I do however
It’s slightly too narrow
tho’ not askew”
The eyebrow lifted
The brains sifted
On they debated
Both related.
R.A.S. 2019
____________
The depths and breadths
Of energy
Flowing in and with us
Is complicated and
Found in simplicity
For all to understand and be.
The depths of our waters
Flowing freely
Washing away all sorrow
In our dimensions, our realities.
As all have chance to be free.
Including me.
R.A.S. 2019
_____________
Election
Election fever
Oh the big deceiver
Dawns another day
What is left to say?
Contemplate your way.
Deliberate, cogitate, ruminate
Decide after fair and varied,
Free thought and properly,
Justifiably, considered debate
It,
Is never too late.
R.A.S.2020
______________
Those claiming education…
Superiority
Yet resorting to use
Of aggression, even use of weapon
Have no worth, according to me.
My opinion is merely one
Of contemplation
Seeking understanding.
Searching for peaceful
Resolution or solution of
Never ending value
Freedom and unity
For all and with each
Including me.
R.A.S. 2020
_______________
When you find
First appearances
Distracting you
From anothers’ heart speak
Close your eyes
And your mouth
Truly hear them
Treading not, on the weak.
Just as you’d care about
Not treading on
Thin ice, think twice.
R.A.S.2020
________________
How much of
Your own appearance
Makes the whole of you?
Dictates to
The personality
At the heart of you
Often liking to be
Among people
Having not identical
Origin, appearance
Opinion and destiny?
R.A.S.2020
__________
Yesterdays are gone but they linger on
Situations created by adults adulterate
Who continuously celebrate
Their abilities and affinities
That adversely infiltrate
Lives of the helpless
Creating unhappiness

___________
Those sheep in wolves’ clothing
Dedicated to loathing
Ambitions ambitious
Extreme and malicious
On their way to the pen
Want to be men
Large of the mind
Those minds un-kind
Thought right but’re
wrong
Some delivered by song
Believed by loads
To be narrow roads
Filled with love
side by side
But are wide
filled with loathing
Those sheep in wolves’ clothing!
R.A.S 2019
_______________
There’s no point regretting
Things we did or didn’t do
It crowds out now possibilities
Opportunities
What’s next to do?
Unfolding realisations
Applying to me or to you
Deal with your own emotions
Controlling them helps too
Firmaments existing whatever we do.
Gifting sights of wonder
Joyous sights all over
In and around
Even
Underground
It’s blossom & bloom
It’s away from, even in or over
Any gloom.
Better to be stable
Allowing who and what we are
Than stuck in much unable
*Able’s best by far.
*Able to control those
Emotions running riot.
Firmaments existing
Whatever we say or do.
R.A.S. 2019
______________
Twitter and Twitterers
I think it kind that you share
Your adventures out there
Your knowledge, your ideas,
Your sightings, Your writings
Your artistic creativity
Many an interesting activity
All impact me
There’s so much more, of that I’m sure
Another journey, another artistic surprise
Enlightenment, education, is on the rise.
I’m thoroughly enjoying
Lots of exploring.
Most everything I see helps
Meditative me
From my timeline to beyond
Breadths, shallows and depths
Magnified, verified, identifying
Lands, people’s, oceans and pond-
Life
Thank you
R.A.S. 2019
_______________
Avenues and meadows
We see from our tree
Beyond this the sea
Sighing gently
Onto sand
Our land
Where waters are precious
Elements bless us
Continuously
Lives aplenty
Joyous and free
Beside us
Family.

______________
Here in our tree
Swaying innocently
Thanks to the breeze.
Here are we now
Resting peacefully
Lay we with ease.
They seek us
Endlessly
Elusive us.
Never shall they see
The discoveries
Of our forever
Here among the trees
In the avenue of love
For all of these
