A Time For Everything
There is a time for everything.
For some it comes too soon.
And the appreciation of the everything
is lost like a clouded moon.
For those that receive it later in life
the everything is the prize.
It awakens understanding
and opens up the eyes.
They grasp it fervently
and hold it oh so tight.
The meaningfulness of the everything
will never leave their sight.

If I Laid with You
if i laid with you
would you talk with me?
that talking without words,
without pretension or
manipulation... that does
not grasp, or own...
would you hold me
without holding back?
if i laid with you
would we quit pretending
that one is right and
one is wrong... and
one and one make two...
when one in one
makes one! tell me,
if i laid with you...

I praise Thee, creator God
I praise Thee, creator God
whose lightning’s roam
the storm clouds unchecked
and set laws
all of nature respect.
I praise Thee, God
when I see Thy lights at night
and they hang above me
twinkling and bright
and everything that Thou have created
has an order and logic to it
and a beauty of construct
and a design
that mere chance
has no grasp to make.

how do you fill the hours (Nafaka)
with moments of hope
just a shadow in the wake
in thoughts you’re followed
by traces of infliction
a prey for the hawks
when all the waitings grasp
the pendulums of falls
the moment slips away
cime punis sate
trenucima nadanja
u cekanju ostace sjen
mislima te prate
tragovi stradanja
za orlove plijen
kad cekanja shvate
klatna od padanja
isklizne tren

Still Life With Death's Head, by Pablo Picasso
If you want a still life
Do not forget to plant a death head by the bowl
Possibly a torn ear to take a hint
At what the noise deceased was thinking
Possibly a piece of an eye in the rear
To grasp all inclusive within a blink
Possibly an eyecon to trick the light
Confidential perspective
And try not to stand too close to it
Unless well trained at colours

Aching Eyes
aching eyes
bleeding heart
trembling hands
a storm within
entangled hair
wind sweeping
pain in my ass
scarred skin
another wound
blues and bruises
sands of silence
tower of ivory
ebony spaces
starless skies
faded moon
shattered pieces
of self
hands that want

The Wall That I See
always this wall
this wall, always, this,
wall, always
i see, and face, and
grasp, and feel
with my palms, and touch
with my fingers
never love it
but i am in here surrounded
always, by this, wall,
this, wall, this wall,
always, i dream of
overcoming this, wall
this height,
i dream of ladders,
and tall feet, and i always,
look beyond this,
this wall, this.

Search through my torn Life.!
O my dear!
The Misery has a tight grasp
Of my shoulders.
The end opposite..?
Must only be Joy!
To the extent possible
I rid the thorns
From piercing your soles.
The Day will dawn...
Then..
The torments underwent
As roots into our hearts..
The joys
As the blossoms on our faces.
Till then..
Through my torn life

In light of knowledge attained, the happy achievement seems almost a matter of course, and any intelligent student can grasp it without too much trouble. But the years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alterations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light -- only those who have experienced it can understand it.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
