Shimmering cascades of tumbling clear water free falling.

Tiny sparkling crystal-like droplets escaped the mighty deluge.

Sun soaked the waterfall glistened like diamond jewelry.

He's an elder now so don't dare forget.
He has special needs and they need to be met..
Always been a hot boy so keep the thermostat down,
or he'll gulp too much water and in urine you'll drown..
Never was a barker but now lets you know.
Better pay attention or he'll just let it flow..
The laminated flooring makes

Premium MemberLift Up Your Eyes - Psalm 120: 1-7

So in defeat and utter distress
I called above on the Lord
in mercy, He answered me
revealing His blessing in sweet accord

I seem surrounded by evil
hearing so many lying lips
as well as a deceitful tongue
where's my true rescue ship

For too long I have dwelt
among those who detest peace
I stand on God's true shalom
but my enemy's voices never

Premium MemberMy Hiding Place and My Shield - Psalm 119: 113-120

God's word is my true love
for the hypocrite I so detest
God alone is my hiding place
in His presence is peace and rest

Protection comes from God Himself
He is my shield holding me close
for in His word is found, my guard
picture of beauty like a red rose

Be rid of all that speaks evil
so to obey the Lord

Premium Member120 Degrees Fahrenheit

Have you wondered why the sun's so far away
Coz any closer, on a Florida beach, you'd use words profane
You'd fry like a lobster
Like a deep red monster
The heat at 120º Fahrenheit gives one inexplicable pain

Inspired By Silent One and His 120 Word Contest

2 MINS!
~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk the shore at night.
The air, the breeze is right.
Not too fierce, a kiss, love
felt on my skin, a shove.

A shove, my love asks why?
I walk, to hide, I try!
My heart broke, it hurts bad,
I have been blind, so sad.

She needs love, I need hers.
I walk the shore with fears
at my side, I

120 Words - Life

LIFE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the love of my life, life,
its depth, its range, how rife.
from high up in the air,
to here and there, to where

life finds a niche, takes hold!
from small, to big and bold!
long to tall, thin like thread,
take care where you might tread!

life not seen on the ground,
look hard, it can be found.
you might need a gem
