Premium Member The Task
The old screen door still welcomes me, a familiar song I've heard before..
But oddly now, it's out of tune.  It has a wail of some despair
After this,...who'll pass this way?
Will they use the rug and wipe their feet, erase away the grime or sleet?
Or...

A Nurse's Task.
Work, work, work,
Never a task we shirk
From dusk till dawn
From dawn till dusk
In God we place our trust.

Smile, smile, smile
As we tarry awhile
With cheerful smile
we heal a heart
that wounds have torn apart.

Kind and thoughtful
Never mean or hurtful
for tomorrow our turn may come
It's now or never,...

A Formidable Task
Often, I fall to the ground in anguish and burst into tears,
not for lack of strength, but to ask for forgiveness;
seldom, I venture down a narrow and unlit road,
fearing the assailant is waiting for my innocent blood! 

I call upon the Lord of infinite kindness...

Premium Member Simple Task
"Simple Task"

Live and let live, cause never any harm. 
Not only is this right, herein lies our charm.
For there is no good in bullying and bossing;
As it reflects on us, self respect we're tossing.

A little bit of consideration goes a very long way,
Yet, it costs...

AVOIDING CRUEL TASK BY CANDLELIGHT - DH

her shadow quivers.
(the hemisphere of
a potted plant cool -
a divisive mind.)
she stands in the soil.

she cannot move
for she’s been caught.
her breath catches,
her fingers wrought.

cucumber
at her desk
burns in hell -

pinches

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. "  Quote by Rumi

Seek not the right person
Seek to be made right within
Travel to your soul's depths
See what is wrong,...

Premium Member Where Did She Go - An Impossible Task
He never believed in love at first sight!
Spurious hogwash, or so he thought.
Yet he felt a magnetic fascination,
Seeing her alone, sipping a cool exotic drink,
Dressed impeccably in local folklore attire.
He was deeply attracted for she was
The most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.

Multi-Task Joe
Multi-task Joe is in the know
With a Type A personality.
Brilliant of mind, he’s the kind
To do things simultaneously.
 
He does not fail to read e-mail,
With laptop devoted and humming.
His cell phone scowled as he dialed
With the freight train fiercely coming.
 
Eating a snack, he crossed...

Nature Exposed
A true angel removes your mask
Seems to be her task
Digs  into your belief system some more
Asks how you gained your values, core

I am a creature of habits old
A product of my experiences untold
A book easily read
Raised on biases instead...
