JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
January 1st, a canvas of contradictions
Special ointment, blessings, and expectations
A night before, a crossover, a threshold to eternity
Or just a mere tradition, a philosophy of men?
In the grand tapestry of time, what sets it apart?
A biblical significance, a divine spark?
Or just a faint echo of a long-forgotten past?
The Passover feast,

Some people think “that its all about me,”
but they don’t see what others always see.
It’s I should come first in both thought and deed,
and getting the attention that I need..
Conversations are filled with platitudes,
this always exposes vile attitudes.
But often in life we will meet this kind,
bad attitudes I always leave behind.

Vibe-check, it’s Friday. Yay! A delightfully cool Friday at that! I’d like to thank the democratic party (which I’ve heard controls the weather now). Has the heat finally surrendered to the inevitable freshness of fall?
Can we please proceed directly to a cruel winter?
“What are we doing tonight?” I asked Lisa as she sat on the

Now, I will make no claim of ever being a saint,
but I’ve always felt at peace after giving my best.
Often in life, thoughts have whispered “I can’t”,
But I’ve viewed those times as another faith test.
“Whether you believe you can do a thing, or not,
you are probably right.”
Henry Ford ?

Attitudes
It was a minor car crash,
But they needed assistance.
The woman refused to help.
“Sheer lunacy,” she alleged,
to trust other people.
“Twill be the court for me,”
she moaned as she viewed
the wrecked ruined cars.
She refused to help.
He smiled, accepted the job
and said a fond goodbye to her,
never failing to see her face
wrinkled in a thousand frowns.
“How can you

Ancient Story - On Attitudes
There were two good friends,
The flowerwoman and
The fisherwoman.
Both selling

fish at the market.
One weekend,
The fisherwoman invited
The flowerwoman for a sleepover.
At night,
after talking for a long time
they were tired and wanted to sleep.
The fisherwoman fall asleep immediately,
as she was sleeping in her home,
but the flowerwoman could not fall asleep.
She was tossing because of the

Surreptitious
During our recent, year-long pandemic imprisonment, my room - which, objectively, is a very nice room - seemed to transform, late-nights, into a tomb. I had to open all the windows just to feel like I could breathe.
Night after night, when the lights were out, I’d lay perfectly still, perfectly awake until all-hours, listening

Candy Girl
This 6 liter hard candy girl
tickles my eyes and curls my toes.
Makes me dance to music I can’t feel.
Sends me where I’ve never been before,
on a tour
of Big Time, Small Town, Milky Way Heaven,
wearing clumsy sneakers that reek of old cliches
and humming sad tunes from all my yesterdays.
Don’t sit and weight for your bowels to

The Attitudes
From the heart these words are sown
Borrowed from the word and on loan
Follow along as you will read
In turn these rhymes your soul they’ll feed
In an attempt to pen like Cowper and Knox
And share these thoughts from a bag of rocks
And type them in line perfect and straight
About the Beatitudes for now here’s eight.
The first

Morning Thoughts
By Miracle Man
12-23-2019
The world today is filled with bias and hate,
and a sinful nature drives us to discriminate.
We speak the wrong language, to heavy, too thin,
and too many don’t like the color of our skin.
Shootings and other violence dominate the news,
and many professing Christians never fill the pews.
Too many today possess a combative
