Cow Crossing
The path we all cross, The humans taking it over, We have no place to go, We have not a home, We have not a pasture, We have not a farm, We have not a barn, We have not our charm, Bonded together like ducks in a row, All we want to know, Is how to find a home, One not too small, One not too...

Our blue planet, the epitome of primal beauty, a unique dot of singularity within the celestial infinity, revolved in the astral space, spinning nature’s splendors, until on the evolution trail the hostile species of man arrived. The creeping swarm of greed, called progress devours the green blanket, thriving for immeasurable eons, constructs the toxic greenhouse on the planet instead, extreme climate events...

Soul’s heartfelt cry echoed in the vast void, of prayers unheard by the heavens above, so to resolve the impasse, poised in the void of cessation, the earth entity melded with space, sparking the power of bliss magnetism.

My resolves, like ivy vines, coalesce around. My caverns of thoughts constantly open and close. Amidst scorns, I hear a spitefully silent sound. Absurdity whirlpools as though decoded morose Courage, like a well-built rampart, guards me, I know. Confidence overflows from the jar of my heart. Why, yet, does darkness of despair engulf my hut? Why do breezes end and storms...

I trudged to levy height, stood upon the soggy ground with serious intentions that an answer would be found To the river's rapidly flowing current, I confided my woes of troubling things that had me in the doldrums of lows Haunting problems, compelling me to leave and move on Leading me to this river as if I were crossing the...

Premium Member Lucy the Saint Bernard - Crossing the Rainbow Bridge
Lucy’s earthly journey ended and she is now in Pet Heaven, just a mere five years old, but she left a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in the heart of a blue-eyed earth angel. Karyn waited at the big gate for her, arms open wide, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her sister’s, Lulu — her beloved dog — took her final...

Crossing Lines You ruinous rascal Just a rat in the pack You forced me to sell now I just want it back Calamity came You had the highest bid Simon’s sister Sydney liked what you did You think you’re the winner She’s bouncing on your lap Smug with contentment as you tip your cap A rollercoaster is coming You’ll plummet from the top Shattering successful illusion your status...

Railroad ties are the pavement under me I count each as I go Below the rusty waters of the Milwaukee River flow An old ladder hangs over the side Some passerby has left their graffiti in white The tracks get closer as my eyes follow them away I stop to smell the sweet fragrance as it wafts my way I feel the...
