Don't give it out
What you don't want
What you're getting
You gave time past
Your input creates
Your output doubled.
Galatians 6:7-8
Do not be deceived
God cannot be mocked
A man reaps what he sows
When the clock ticks
Times unviel it all.
Ecclesiastes 3
Time to be born and to die
Time to plant and to uproot
Time to kill and to heal
Time to weep and to laugh
Time to mourn and to dance
Time to search and to give up
Time to keep and to throw away
Time to tear and to mend
Time to be silent and to speak
Time to love and to hate
Time for war and for peace.

sunlight
in the shadows,
silver lining the cloud-
forgiveness heals with whispers said
aloud
why me
life's plantive plea
yet one cry,one call
a choice open to us all ;Lord
help me

Swords with edges doubled, strength of steel
With one side we can love the other side we can kill
Tears of silver running down her face
Defeated the last angle held in God's good grace
Out of forgiveness, unable to feel
The side that loved the other side did kill

You doubled the love potion
I now feel eighteen
Our last year in High School
And you broke the cardinal rule
You doubled your love potion on me
With lipstick bright red
Long eye lashes flirting with me
A mini skirt with legs so long
You are killing me
Tonight is the prom will you dance with me
The two step will be just fine
One step toward me and one toward you
While holding each other in our arms
A tender kiss when our eyes meet
Like two tall buildings in a hurricane
Swaying in the wind
The prom is over I kiss you good night once again
Now twenty years later we dance again
Our potion still working
I will never stop kissing you
Good Night My Sweet Best Friend

Divers plunge into troubled waters
for diving into smooth, calm waters hurts.
Being troubled is the backdoor key
to unlocking the puzzle when you are in trouble.
Avoid the slip roads to the freeways
or the overpass or the bypass bridge.
Instead, imbibe your troubles, immerge in them,
wait for the waters to be troubled,
for double troubles played all-in
tend to cancel each other out.

Sunrise, life appears
Warmth, water nourishes all
Doubled by mirror
