Baiting To Receive
The only thing those in masquerade,
Are baiting to receive is a compliment.
Give it without commenting on the costume.
Unless you seek to play a round of charades!

Easier To Predict
It would be easier to predict,
The sex of an Easter Bunny.
Than it would be to guess,
Which people seen on a regular basis...
Are actually honest with themselves.

You Are Beyond Redeemable
You are beyond redeemable,
And can not be saved.
If your point of view is limited...
To values you had,
Existing in isolation.
Those days of self praise are gone.

It Comes To Empower
Genuine honesty.
Unquestioned by doubt,
As it is delivered to me.
And sharing with a depthness,
Real enough to believe...
It comes to empower.
And not to deceive.

What Is The Complaint?
If people have shown and are known,
To have been showing little respect for themselves.
Or none!
What is the complaint?
And at who's expense,
Have they done this?

Sunrise Visions
Sunrise visions,
Inside without outside clouds.
Brings an experience of radiance.
And leaves upon the horizon,
At sunset...
Eyes sparkling,
With a clarity of hope!

Do Not Misinterpret My Lack of Concern
Please do not misinterpret,
My lack of concern...
As a fact shown,
By my confession of it.
You can,
If you wish...
Interpret it,
As a thoughtful non-involvement.

Offshore
Come to me clean.
Clean,
Of mind, body and soul.
Cleaned...
And willing to let go,
Of attempts to row a boat...
You soak in,
As it floats...
Offshore without oars.

These Are Not Yet the Days of Summer
Warm.
Sticky.
And thick...
With humidity!
And you?
Do you have a cool box,
To go into?
How are you enjoying your heat?
And these are not yet,
The days of Summer!

If That Is the Objective
The best argument to have,
If time is of no importance...
Is one with a fool.
There is nothing to be learned.
And if that is the objective...
Time has been well spent!
