Premium Member Learning On The Path Of Life
Whichever pathway you decide to choose, They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues. On every pathway, lessons will exist, Finding truth will require that you persist. Walking a path, does not learning assure. Takes more than presence, learning to secure. From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?” Lacking desire, the internal burning. In the present, let the path...

The choices we never got to make
A life of false happiness Or death by defiance They claim we have a choice But what kind of choice is a life of imprisonment or a death penalty An eternal life of isolation Or an eternity of nothingness With choices like that who needs control Or to be caged by manipulation For us the ideal choice Would be death To...

Premium Member Choices I make
There are arches and doorknobs I feel with my hands but, instead of pushing through, around and round i meander clueless, my head in a cloud caught up in the darkness I coddle to the point of despair and delusion. AP: Honorable Mention 2025...

Premium Member UNRAVELLING CHOICES AND CHOICES
In the spirit of hope, we contemplatively search Beyond the horizon for the mystic exorcism Of the pandemic deaths proliferating from The disparity reigning from viral social And political infestations decimating We selected targeted ones of color:- And the audacity of such hope, must be sought Within the horizon of the spirit of our mind and soul, Where abides the power exorcism infused...

Premium Member There are choices I've made that no longer speak, but scream within me
There are choices I've made that no longer speak, but scream within me, Like winds lost in a violent storm, stirring my silent soul, I cannot return to them, cannot mend them, but they pass over me, Like cold shadows slipping across warm skin, leaving sensations of untamed longing. I regret them in ways for which I have no...

Premium Member so many choices
tiny spider climbs up my windshield so teensy, she makes a sand grain seem big I have lots of choices I could smash her with my finger or a piece of paper I could let her live Could pretend I did not see her One of thousands of choices I make each day...

Premium Member A Dance of Choices: Research or Poetry
For two years, I've woven verses like threads of gold, Yet in the shadows, my unfinished research whispers, A ghost from the past, beckoning me to mend the frayed edges, Now and then, I stumble into a fog, yearning to complete the tapestry left undone. The research demands ten hours, six days a...

Choices Miracle Man 5/3/2025 Our path in life is wrapped in choices, and each choice made, we alone will own. Many being influenced by others voices, those we’ve made with little thought shown. At times choices can become monumental, other times our choices will seem absurd. Appearing to another as being judgmental, without rime or reason, far from God’s word. Sometimes choices are attempts to...

Premium Member The Tempter's Whisper
The storm descends, a howling, bitter plea, And darkness wraps a world that once was free. I stumble, lost, upon this treacherous ground, And hear a voice where solace can be found. Not from above, where choirs used to ring, But from below, a darkly tempting thing. The Devil speaks, a promise in his tone, Instant relief, a burden overthrown. A heartbeat's pause,...

Premium Member Time is not the enemy
time is a blob a slippery amorphic thing that we trust to be malleable yet slips through your fingers when we least expect it one moment time seems manageable the next it's rambunctious and chaotic it's like our two-year old toddler that mustn't stay unsupervised still everyone has the same twenty four hours unless we decide to harness their power elusive time will be squandered it's only...

Premium Member Live like a Jackal, Die like a dog
Hear the flames crackle Fall on your sword Live like a Jackal Die like a dog The lion is weary Hyenas dart and bite Their laughing is eerie He'll lose his last fight. The vultures are circling Eyes that see far Their shadow is on you Wherever you are. Betrayal was easy You were attracted to strife You gambled with demons...

Premium Member Family Don't Abandon Family
Like a whirlwind on a wild, untamed ride/ Life threw you twists, and poor choices arrived/ But hatred? No, it finds no home in me/ For love stands stronger, vast as the sea/ Your divine light, though it flickers dim/ Still shines in the shadows, steadfast within/ Family don't abandon, no matter the trial/ Through storms and sorrow, we'll walk each mile/ We...
