The Laws Paradox

They bind the hand that reaches for the throat, They tame the storm, the selfish, vicious goat. A fence erected in the wild green space, To keep a certain peace, a measured pace. They say, "This far, no further," to the strong, And grant the weak a place where they belong. The wild wood cleared, a path is neatly laid, A promise in the daylight, unafraid. The chaos of a million warring wills, Subdued by silent paper, on the hills. But oh, the hand that's bound, it can not reach For gentle touch, a kind and earnest speech. The fence that holds the monster in its place, Can also hide the sunbeam from the face. The measured pace, a slow and weary stride, For those whose hearts can't find a place to hide. The path so straight, it never takes a turn, To find a secret lesson it can learn. And in the order, beauty dies away, A price for safety, paid in shades of gray. So here we stand, a paradox held tight, Between the ordered day and primal night. We trade a measure of our w...

Random Thoughts

Psychedelic thoughts

Mind bending warps

Dreamy nights beset


Fazed feelings tribute

Stumbling men and babbling fools

Summon to assemble at once


Rivers of tears

Silence of pain

Jungle of thoughts


Thinking aloud in jest

Complexity of mind

Scariness of nightmares


Hoofbeat of horses

Scuttling of feet

Curious faces they peer


Strangers they stare

Vagrants on foot

Randomness aloud

Hope

  The plinth, when all is lost The distinction between surviving and suicide in the mist of deep depression Endeavor and neglect Remaining vanquished or brushing off the dust of defeat What else can there be?

Surely there should be something to live for To strive for To believe in To die for To stand for In the midst of turbulent cascading events  Hope is all

Summer by Adel J. Cardor

                                     Oh summer, how I love your warm enclosure  How sad I will be when it is over  Seeing kids playing  Your days are never-ending....  Life without you would be such bore  In a classroom with your feet still, on the floor  I go to bed happy as can be  Another fun day tomorrow is guaranteed

Thanksgiving Cheer

  Thanksgiving is here, an escape provides A time with family, away from isolation, solitary confinement and distressing of thoughts Everywhere we turn the news is ugly The numbers are rising as the death toll is counted In thousands they say, as the systems in place So shaken and stretched as cries for help pandemic 2020 brought in its wake recession and depression Though 2019 to blame Suicides and deaths all time is high Greetings and hugging, conversation of catch up Turkey in season, table talks today Prayers we say for the few times we stay May our hearts rejoice in the midst of this turmoil Grateful for the lives we have and those we saved  Hard to smile when all the chatter is sadness and despair Elections came and went, confusion and chaos predicted but alas, not so much was realized Our souls delight and our hearts be glad  Birth of a new dawn A new year is promised Vaccines are here, almost in time  Next year is upon us, hopeful we remain In all things we g...
