no time to snooze ---------  some peace and quiet
the morning news ---------                 good eats--no diet

Cocooned beneath warm  silky bedding 
Soundly nestled in dream’s quiet moment
Neither purged from silence nor the chatter of an awaked world
My soul engulfed- now doth begin the teetering dream

Whither I am smiling or running- tumbling or soaring
Erupts the moment of a rattling bell 
My...

Philipians1:3-14

The things that have happened to me have turned out for the furtherance of the 
Gospel.

Simple acts of kindness. 

As I sit here in my motel room teetering on the edge of homeless I can see how God is blessing me with this situation and...

In times that both try and excite
To what do we apply our might? 

To electronics, toys, and fad
To make each man an island glad

To relieve conversation, dull
To color in each little lull 

To get one from point A to B
With no adventure in between 

True...

I feel it near me again
A sweet soothing to coat my soul
The fragrance of red flowers in the air
And a warmth to withstand the coldest wind

Nervous now, for it has been so long
My heart pounds so hard in my chest
As my mind weighs the past...

executive, judicial, & legislative colluding bozos
feigning, grinning, hobnobbing... arrogant beastie
boys and goo goo dolls sporting snazziest custom
tailored (swiftly) made harried styled fancy clothes
at taxpayers expense of course, but more important
exerting Republican driven power to deprive *******

It's all a flurry
All I see is blurry,
The lights are streaming
Sparkles in her eyes are gleaming,
The music is pulsating
Through my skin,
Deep within my soul
I feel it overpowering,
I have no control
Who does?
Not I
I'm teetering on the brink,
I'm going to fall
From the rhythm,
This beat is sick
It makes...

I have seen people just about starting,
There’re others at the end of the rope
crisis ridden and with anguish smarting
and latched onto a diminishing hope
With sorrow no longer able to cope.

It surprised me, because I never hear it any more.
I said, “Where did you learn that word?”
He did not know which one I meant.
I said, “How do you know about a teeter totter?”
He said, “I was born...

Teetering on the Gates of Hell  

Having balanced upon the Gates of Hell and fallen back into joy,
Resurrected from degeneration and despair only to stumble 
Where voluptuous prowess exerts an enticing allure…false satisfaction.
Eternity forever captured with one last lunge…devouring hope.
And the soul remains chained,...

All the neurons that misfired,
all the synapses blocked and mired,
all the random thoughts and fears,
all the head-bumps through the years,
all of us, of humanity,
are just a nudge from insanity....

I stand on the brink of tomorrow’s joys
Listening to the whispering of a gentle mist
Kissing the breezes as they come my way,
Mulling over how I spent this awesome day,

Wondering how much was clamoring noise
Echoing through a preoccupied mind I missed,
And trying to recall why I...

Light lusters through a leak-in-line squall,
design is drenched from the downpour.

Ground's thick dew began to shimmer and prism,
It's within grasp of awe. 
withstand meager hooves ahead.

I board a whirlwind of vivid cortex. 
teetering swelling blazes spun whirling. 
Tidal light wave caught me in its vortex,
warmth...
