A cup of coffee, warm in hand,
The phone vibrates, a friendly sound,
"Get ready for your bright day,"
Look outside, let's be ready.

30/07/2025

Empty the bin, clear the space,
Ideas flow, a busy mind;
A fresh feeling, a passion place,
Though hard, just pick one.

29/07/2025

Thoughts begin to slowly wake,
What beautiful day will we make?
Let go of what weights you down,
Find peace in your own town.

Empty the Bin, Cleanse It

I stare at my thoughts,
Just write to pour out heavy rain,
Empty the bin, cleanse it,
Refresh, can't keep all inside.

They said it's not good to build up
All the thoughts and emotions inside,
Just go and find somewhere where no one can see you,
Speak them out to the trees or air even to Nature,
Or find a pen and paper, or type in the computer,
Or find whatever suits in order to get it out,
Out, out, out, full express out, a little push out,
Refresh, empty the bin, cleanse it, clear mind.

They Said You Couldn't

They said you couldn’t.
Why couldn't I? Because I am deaf?
Many thoughts went through:
I couldn't because I am deaf?

I went my way to do my things,
To be me, to be that no one can be me.
Well, you know you get to be you,
To prove that you believe you can do,
So I went my way to do my things,
Wrote poems, planned scripts for social media,
Living my life as I saw fit and still now,
You get to live the way you want to.

I work yet I pursue the things I want them to be,
The ideas bloom inside every single day,
Even every single night that imagines,
To find the top tree where it touches the sky,
To be able to reach the stars that wait,
To unleash thousands and thousands of talents,
As there is no such thing that stops you,
When you have ready plans that implant your mind.

I went my way as I still go to do my things,
As do things with my lily that loves me,
That adores me, that flowers my soul,
That pushes a little bit of her soul into me,
That she, well, her immensely faith she has,
Has to be able to push me to see the universe!

I Am Dreamer - I Remember All Your Dreams
How well do ye remember thy dreams?

Ye never knew me as Dreamer,
I bid that you remember when you sleep,
And also I bid that you must master it,
How to define if you don't remember all of it,
But I have watched ye all your dreams,
Whether you may not remember it all,
But if thou dost have the best of it,
Shall I be your witness because I am Dreamer?

Dream, dream, how many dreams doth thou remember?
Or dream, dream, how many times ye say, I don't remember?
Oh, ye knew it thyself that thou dost say, I don't remember,
Well, well, dream, enjoy, and remember, aye, remember it all,
Practice, believe, receive, and perceive, quoted the sayth,
How well is thy heart that pumps so aesthetically?
I would say well done, and say thou dost remember it well,
But what about tomorrow, and the next day?
What about all the time that ye need to remember them all?

I am Dreamer,
I remember ye, all of you, and I do not forget all your dreams,
Because the authority gave me from an ancient ago,
That I shall have it to rule anything that I desire,
But lucky ye that I am one of the believers that faith,
Ye know my rule of the authority that power over all the dreams,
Yet I act as an accord to our Holy Creator,
Oh, be grateful that I am like Him that let thou dost thy will,
Will, will, aye, free will for all of ye to dream like free choice.

I Have Failed Before, But I Still Believe

I have failed before, but I keep doing it.
I don't matter if I am deaf,
I matter that I have goals, dreams, and daydreams,
They keep me going even though I failed before.

I probably feel low when my dreams don’t come true,
But I look at life how it keeps going, day and night.
Sunrise, sunset, morning, afternoon, evening.
They keep going and going, so shall I keep going.
For I still have goals, dreams, and daydreams,
It is better to keep planting many seeds to become a forest.
To become a larger planet, to show the solar system,
To show the universe, to show the Milky Way, to show everything.
That I still keep doing it, well, it doesn’t matter that I am deaf.
It matters that I have kept going, kept doing it, kept believing.

Well, I know I have failed before, but I still believe.
Well, I know sometimes I was sad, low, hopeless.
Well, I can't stop breathing, I can't stop not giving up.
Well, it is what keeps me moving, keeps me living.

Stop Goofing - Time to Surpass Yourself

Study, work, do not be lazy,
Thou sayest that thou will study hard,
Prove it to thyself, work hard, be strong,
Oh, show thyself with thy talents,
Genius, wonderful, no one can close their mouth,
Jaw wide and open and you see what is in them,
Tongue, everything that is the muscle inside them,
Each layer got to protect all that serve them,
Ye think that ye can control what’s inside ye,
Then the world that thou art living in should not fail,
Ye knew that I knew if you control what’s inside ye,
Then everyone will say, how could you know yourself?
Teach it to us, teach them that desire to control themselves,
And when they do, they will go to other places,
And others will open their mouth for a long time,
Jaw wide and open and they see what is in them,
Tongue, everything that is the muscle inside them,
Ringing, ringing, pick it up and stop goofing,
Go to study, work hard, and pass thy surpassing.

Your Soul is Trying to Tell You Something.... Are You Listening?

Thee art what ye say,
Thence I go my way,
Saying, I pray ye to go well,
As we go apart to our fate,
For we are the master of our fate,
The captain of our body,
The controller of our mind,
The feeler of our heart,
This way is our only belief
That we shall do our utmost best
For everything in the universe
Shall we be that we are
For thou art out of thy comfort zone
That ye must know thine own soul
As will I do the same.

Gamut, he was waiting for you.
Where were you, Gamut? I knew.
You are a busy man, very busy.
But your majesty summoned
You to his presence.
King, why are they not taking it easy?
I understand your role, your authority
And your power over your people.
But here I am being forced, by them, to you.
What is your thinking, for I am Gamut?
Not taking it so personally.
Gamut, let me speak as a man.
Your range is veiling.
And yet your series opens my mind.
May I leave it to a Prime?
Prime, then let it be as our Holy.
Thee must not tell as it is veiling.
Until the world unveils it by themselves.
And then may I rest upon my work.
Aye, may I depart to Ye as He or She or They.
What, what, Ye as He or She or They?
Gamut explains that the Holy Spirit
Or the Miracle Creator, or our Holy Creator
Or the One’s many names by the world.
Our Holy Creator is not called S/He.

But you said He, aye, most of the time.
We said He, but King, listen to me as Gamut.
Why He, not She? She gives life, and He, well.
Forgive my fantasy that I go too far.
Me as a range, and a series that has many experiences.

They have heard the old saying, love yourself.

What he can do
When he tells you to love
He will tell you to love yourself.
Or, will the old saying repeat, love one another
As would thee love thyself.

Consider, no corrupt, and no conflict
Or else suffer from that which grieves you.
Give up thy impoliteness.
Forgive the provoke, yet no misunderstand.
We have heard or seen for a thousand years.
Love yourself as one another, yes, this old saying
Has been on and on, for age, like I signed the other day.
They keep telling us to be good, and will they keep telling
Us to love, aye, learn to love our Holy Creator’s creation.
