The witch'in
in a winter
storm,
between
us,
we arn't happy
as the car dies,
due
to the winter
that seeps us.
Domestic abuse,
of waving
sickness
of verbal obtuse
and flagging,
the car's
now empty.
I carry
no flags,
and I'm
no handyman.
I saddle up
and cuddle you,
human warmth
so we can't
be frost
in the morning.

waiting for the train
a mother lifts
her anxious child
Ruined by puddles of porch rain
before you had a chance to bring it,
much less break it in;
The robotic reply of ‘Order canceled.
Your item is out of stock. Refunded.’
throws you into a total panic;
As far away as it seems,
there was a world before Amazon;
A girls day of enraptured perusing,
labels brand boxes and Big Brown bags;
A flurry of stores flowing with specialities
speak to patrons who pause then pay them;
Pulling apart plastic to try that purchase,
nothing feels quite like retail therapy;
Pivot from store to store bargain hunting,
in the end you always leave with something;
As far away as it seems,
there was a world before Amazon;
At the mall you don’t need patience,
just indulge instant gratification;
No need for a new notification;
Online is simple, until it isn’t.
If we were forced to let computers go?
We’d still keep spinning and shopping.
As far away as it seems,
there was a world before Amazon.
I neither want nor enjoy the role
Of being a tortured soul
Not sure if I’m doing right or wrong
With no real clue what's going on
**Tonight I am beginning Entry thirty-five,
Another day is conquered, & I'm thankful I'm alive.
Also it is now year twenty-twenty-three (2023),
I'm curious as to what this new year has for me.
**As I'm hoping & I'm praying for my pain to be quite low,
But because it changes daily, its severity I just don't know.
So I will just continue to battle & fight like hell,
Perhaps this year we'll find a cure, yet only time will tell.
**Also one thing about me is I don't give up easy at all,
Even through the unbearable times, when I stumble or fall.
Plus I'm still refusing, to show this curse defeat,
When my health & life are concerned, I will not be beat.
**But through this new year twenty-twenty-three,
I vow to remain as happy as I can possibly be.
So if this brand new year of ours, happens to find a cure,
It will be worth every prayer, that I have prayed for sure!

The danger was seen and thus was not danger
The twilight moonbeam
fires cresting a quintessential
street light silhouette
No journey of despair
What is the human cause without
Father and spirits and mirrors of people
I can't be bothered saving tomorrow for a brighter idea
I can't say it's has been all said and done
The kind of miracle that is man
Happy go lucky
You grow up to wish you didn't
Take the cross and take a bow
Take a vacation just for science
Where the spirits run
When there has been a corrupted angel
They called it life
It had a cigarette
And a television
I am a fraud
I go with the flow
The easiest way
When everything goes unwritten
Fences fall down
They started life all wrong
When somebody said
Mine

TO: Donna and her friends, who came to get some gems,
I hope you find something as attractive as you.
Your smiles were infectious...I did enjoy them.
They will certainly carry me the whole day through.
It's people like you that are as nice as can be,
That make life enjoyable for the rest of us.
When you get back to the land of sand and sea,
Just remember that, in this world, you're a plus.
Coeur d'Alene, Heart of the Awl,
gem of the north,
you tamed my hatred of this desert state
and gave me sunlight sparkling on
blue lakes under scented pines.
Jesus came to earth as a man
but still had His divinity on show
being complete as God and man
no one had seen His like, hey hello!
Jesus loved especially three special friends
Lazarus and his two sisters were so close
their brother was ill in need of help
sent for Jesus who delays before He goes
Jesus came to raise Lazarus from the dead
but before that shows He does shed tears
His emotion was stirred proving His love
showing that His Father in heaven hears
Jesus sympathizes with our feelings
He knows how frail and feeble we are
so that when we feel fears within
our Lord draws near being not far
Jesus is God and showed Himself man
so we can know His wonderful love
shedding tears sent from heaven
today assures us Jesus is always enough
(John 11:35-"And Jesus Wept." )
Stars in the sky,
anything?:-
something.
Wildlife 35
A soaring and high-flying martin,
Was gliding before his departing,
But before his migration
There was some conflagration,
'Cause the bird right in front kept on fartin'!
How deep is our stillness
Is it yet still in the void of no-thingness
This practice prescribes
That as bliss continues to rise
Let it be in the void of emptiness
Energised by Gods lovingness
Thought rested we hold our attention
Within the void as our meditation
