THE WORLD
IS MY KINGDOM
The world is
my kingdom
Look for no more
than for me
Don't need to ask why
With the earth and the sky
as my kingdom
Look for no one
There's the earth and the sun
Look for no one
But for me
No need to believe
It's as real as the trees
As the earth and the sky
That's my kingdom
No need to ask why
The world's spinning by
No need to
no need to
no need to
It's spinning
So much to embrace
Enfold and then wait
In awe and distaste
In time and in haste
The world is
our kingdom
Look for no more
that what's in store
what you can make
and embrace
My world is
my kingdom
Look for no prize
than the world and your life
Look for no one
but for you and for me
Breathe in the air
without a care
Look for no one
but for you and for me
It's no paradise
Illness, pain, vice
Cruelty that cracks life
form part of my kingdom
Yet riches beyond price
inhabit my kingdom
Breezes that caress
Lovers deeply blessed
There's reason to grieve
when it's time to leave
Yet death forms part
of my kingdom
Don't die in vain
in needless pain
See the riches beyond price
the love, not just the vice
That warms up
my kingdom
No need to have faith
in what you see touch sense taste
But faith you may need
to keep going
The horrors are real
The boredom is real
The shortness is real
Each pain loss gain
is real
The earth
is my kingdom
Possibilities whirl by
like snow whipped by the wind
Hard to catch a falling star
though it's glowing
Hard to hold on
to water that's flowing
to lava that's burning
to clouds that are floating
to monkeys that snap sharply
Don't need to believe
But it's hard to achieve
a niche
a place
an embrace
that stays loving
Look for no one
but the earth and the sun
for the trees and your friends
for love that wends
through your life til it's over
The earth is
our kingdom

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
SPIRITUAL POEM
spiritual wisdom, spiritual thoughts
coming in spiritual verses, spiritual songs
spiritual wisdom, spiritual thoughts
coming in words that flow
into spiritual poems, spiritual poetry
spiritual songs, lyrics lifting us
in an inspiring poem,
an inspirational poem -
or inspirational to some
wisdom, thoughts, beliefs
swirling in words
