“Air Rushing Within”

cji

2/8/19

Not winds mind you

this is cold frigid air

the doors all shuddered

windows are all closed

where is it coming from

and how cold it is

remembering last night

when the top fell off

dream not done yet

had to get one more kick

and the electric blanket

took control of chaos!

(1) "The Top Falls Off"

“The Top Falls Off”

cji

2/8/19

Latterly happened today

just like that flying about

not paying attention

doing barrel rolls over

then the top falls off

just looking out at air

not sure up or down

trying to get a think

and it’s all too late

waking up suddenly!

"And Then"

“And Then”

cji

2/8/19

(Prologue:

We’ve heard and then

anticipating what’s next

good, bad, indifferent

funny, sad, exciting

always wondering

where next going

what next to learn

how we’re involved

who’s getting caught?)

"Without a Clue"

“Without a Clue”

cji

2/7/19

Puzzles to be done

tons of thousands

clues all about to see

called humans smart

unable to read/talk

without communications

repetitive repeating

like puppets on stage

reading their lines

pretended importance

all without a clue!

"No Clue"

“No Clue”

cji

2/7/19

Boundless energy

bursting out all over

like a puppy party

the litter all over

sensing fun about

into the tissues

messing with couches

chasing the cats

(not too close)

on world of mirrors

having no clue

much like humans

who they mirror today!

"All Stand"

“All Stand”

cji

2/6/19

United we stand

how close to violation

when msm splits us

wanting world government

not our government

thus all must stand

for the nation

for the president

for the United States

for our children

our grandchildren

all of citizens

thus all stand

as one – as one!

"Melting Snowflakes"

“Melting Snowflakes”

cji

2/5/19

Had all my tools laid out

calling for heavy snows

calling it the lake-wind effect

as you can see blow torch

propane gas tanks loaded

electric blankets set out

matches and piles of wood

seems like a lot of effort

but they tell me snowflakes

aren’t very brilliant anymore

easy to beguile and fool

so figure most will go away

afraid of my awesome display!

"Bye My Friend"

“Bye My Friend”

cji

2/5/19

How to end a call

friendship is our link

taking time to share

touching inner thoughts

talking of family

sharing with each

life’s daily events

kids for her

my wife for me

then ending always

‘bye my friend’!

"Jeremy"

“Jeremy”

cji

2/5/19

Youngster in family

(don’t let him hear you)

he’s in pre-K you bet

helping to teach friends

lions are his pet

blue his valor color

with a birthday coming

and he can spell ‘phone’!

"Jamar"

“Jamar”

cji

2/5/19

Young man of family

play time is for fun

football, basketball

you name it for him

competitive he is

orange is his color

he’s only in 1^st grade!

"Alyssa"

“Alyssa”

cji

2/5/19

Graduations in life

steps upon the road

visualizing dreams

revered memories

ballet dancing in pink

reading books all

fiction – non-fiction

life flitting away in time

so much found ahead

never delaying adventure

awaiting – just there now!

"Hi My Friend"

“Hi My Friend”

cji

2/5/19

Now and then a call

just seeing how I’m

how caring – sharing

to hear from a friend

saying, ‘Hi my friend’

reaching out often

lifting my day so much

within her phone touching!

"Wherein a Professional"

“Wherein a Professional”

cji

2/4/19

Polite and respectful always

unknowing who dealing with

especially with us elderly

for computers have no eyes

(well guess some may have)

taking the time to clearly ask

listening to our replies always

wherein a professional to deal

maybe even small things great

being found caring to share!

Pausing for a rest just now

getting excited sharing this

cji

2/4/19

Boy someone’s going to pay

the earth’s sprung a leak

there’s water everywhere

wait a minute there’s a boat

it’s huge but small from here

let me look further around

it’s everywhere – water

appears all that’s left is Noah

his family and those animals

fleas, ticks, snakes, birds

and the Georgia State bird

mosquitoes now we know

who to blame in the future!

cji

2/4/19

Some consider this creation

checking around seeing little

there were a new couple there

hadn’t seen them before

living in a garden Eden

listening to them talk

was Adam and Eve

a nice couple to watch

and the animals liked them!

A year relatively quiet

“321AD”

cji

2/4/19

Can you believe it

what I just saw approved

hard to believe but true

300 years after the Savior

it took Constantine

to approve of the Lord’s day

making it official 321AD

oh there were some wars

some starvation's flu

but mostly routine stuff!

(1)

“The View”

cji

2/4/19

Every watch the movies

magic windows to open

set a time a date or place

able to open anywhere

advanced technology

sometimes limitations

at the earth from afar

it’s the date that changes!

Over the past 74 years

I’ve a favorite place to go

it’s far away and safe

way, way out in the space

used to be a planet

but now no longer so

yet still it is my place to go

to view history before/now

and sometimes future!)

"Hallowed"

“Hallowed”

cji

2/3/19

Remove one’s footwear

hallowed the ground

is this your home found

honoring family marriage

treating as a Temple

away from the Temple

quiet peaceful serene

as on the Sabbath Day

every day to be found

hallowed the ground

removing one’s footwear!

“Sometimes I Believe” (Epilogue)

(Epilogue:

cji

2/2/19

If you really care

kindness to share

hardships to bare

good times or despair;

Knowing where you are

taking mark on a star

each trail going a far

eventually to the bar!)

(4) "Somewhere in Time"

(4)

“Somewhere in Time”

cji

2/2/19

2019 is the year we know

really it seems to differ

all through history murderers

no different today than then

decreeing infant’s death

leaving to fend for selves

somewhere in time forgotten

thus repeated ever so often!

(3) "Not Wanting to be Found"

(3)

“Not Wanting to be Found”

cji

2/2/19

So many in hiding alone

in middle of large crowds

still unable to be found

no footprints in concrete

no trails in parking lots

but these are nobodies

hoods criminals trash

not unlike middle class

believing nothing wrong

in their minds so unfound

in their lives lost bound!

(2) "Where We Live"

(2)

“Where We Live”

cji

2/2/19

Fine homes or ghettos

choice or circumstance

inner city or in country

wealth or impoverished

where we live we make

we can be clean neat

or slobs in the pig sty’s

we choose or be enslaved!

(1)

“Lost in Time”

cji

2/2/19

Is this the 5^th Century

maybe even 500 BC

who knows where or why

nothing changes a lot

men/women warfare

killing/maiming/rapine

starvation disease

we think the 21st Century

still killing babies/lovers

hate and contention

lost in time repetitively!

"Sometimes I Believe"

“Sometimes I Believe”

cji

2/2/19

(Prologue:

What do we believe

what do I believe

what does anyone believe

and does it really manner

of course it does very much

that we do all believe

and what is it to believe?)
