I missed a lot on my trip out to California in 2019
I was by myself and I was scared
Scared of getting lost
Scared of bums
If I would have had a navigation system on a cell phone
It could have been more fun
Disneyland
Hollywood walk of stars
Lots of stuff around San Francisco
But I just stayed on 101
Drove to San Francisco and got lost downtown for an hour
Now I have a cell phone to help me navigate Maine
And all the stuff out that way
New York City maybe
But
I have to figure it out first!

Walking down street
I saw you there
I took a peek
You stood so lean and tall
My legs began to shake
I thought please don’t fall
I knew those black eyes of yours
My lips had once kissed your tears
It’s been many years
Who said time cures
Those black eyes as clear as glass
You were always a man of class
The short time that was had
were filled with love and tenderness
Just as our kisses
We let what we once had go
to a beautiful place in our past
As I walk away I smile
I just saw a beautiful memory
From my past

Washing away the memories
Brush strokes the canvas delivering
A watery portrait of pain and healing
Learning to let go of darkness within
When rage paints an ugly violin
Learning to forgive the arrows and the archer
That broke my wings and treasured his heart, his master
Coming closer to the light after
The truth becoming so crystal like rain of winter
Departing from mirages that harbour empty bonds
God’s light rays shining like diamonds
Breathing air, stepping away from the masquerade
Healing begins to unravel
The portrait of the soul that travels
To the path of peace and serenade

The knowledge I have given man
empowers him
to chart his own destiny
Will it be for his betterment
or his detriment
I can only wait and see

A woman's beauty may well surpass her soul -
A woman's beauty won't be revealed to all.
A woman's beauty - for the man who sees it not; -
That man will never see - that's his sad lot.

A woman's beauty - only seen in glimpses-
When two stranger's eyes meet - perhaps on a train;
And as we go to work in the rush hour, -
A quick glance may hold all of her power.

A woman's heart is soft - with a finesse -
The fair sex - and I'll call it a grace; -
Yet her love will go out like a light -
For the man who doesn't treat her right.

Party girls tumble
tumble from the bars
curving the night
a raucous army
while the men
drawn but circumspect
drain their last drinks
idle back to the boarding houses
to dream of
poster woman
incendiary encounters
a symphony of lust
without end
but knowing
this is reserved for the few
the well dressed
the rich
men of intellect and power
but for the morrow
he'll wake to a simple breakfast
for a simple man

Sitting on the corner
Watching the poems go by
Brings memories of times
When the traffic was so high
You’d post in the morning
And by night you would return
To search for your write
And comments to learn
But alas your words were gone
Down the avenue
And the poems had built up
The queue very long .........

She sent me a love letter
It was a "v"
I sent back an "L"
What returned was an "o"
I think we are in voLe

Through your eyes
I see the beauty of the sunrise

Through your mind
you teach me to be kind

Through your ears I take the time to listen to the music often not heard to dispel my fears

Through your voice I learn your truth that I may rejoice

Through your touch I am comforted
That I may stop leaning on a crutch

Through your soul I am lifted out of a hole

Through your hand I can take a stand

Through your heart I feel we will never part

Through your truth I am free from every lie I believed hence, no longer decieved

Through your life
in spite of all the strife
I try to learn your ways
even if everything I see seems all in a haze

Through your love I hear the call of the dove

The thing is about these m-RNA vaccines
is that they appear to be non-specific in the site
at which they activate a cell response,
from the muscle the injected material enters the bloodstream
entering cells within the vascular system
which of course feeds the brain
a place where the coronavirus cannot enter
under its usual attack
being nose and throat,
and lungs if all doesn't go well
so as well as other cells in your body
your veins in the brain exude the protein as designed
which blood platelets lock onto, and can causing clotting, while your immune system is fighting the waste on the cell.
All in all its a bit of a gamble approach,
headaches described by many could be due to this clotting
which can have serious effects.
Some will die of the innoculation but they tell us its a greater benefit on balance.
Most but not all would get through this virus without tragic consequences
so do you take the risk or join the guinea-pigs?
Up to you, and how many times would you go through re-vaccinations until your luck runs out?

Anyway if you elect not to be vaccinated it will be interesting to see
how the persecution starts:
"You're irresponsible" ..really..,
"You don't understand" coming from a drone who got told what to say, I'll ask for their training in vaccine development and immunology..
"It went fine for me" ..well super for you, enjoy your highly strung immune system
Perhaps you will have travel restrictions. Vaccine passports?
Every experiment needs a control population, perhaps I'll join them.
Undecided, You?
