Scars On Our Souls

We play these little games with each other. We sift through the sands. Try to find something so precious. A winning hand.

We smile and acknowledge through gritted teeth. The flaws of ourselves we accept of can’t be used by these strange nobodies.

We spend our whole lives concealing our truths. The truths about one’s lies, one’s wrongs. We ingeniously always find the excuse for each scar on our souls.

The framed outline in the mirror that we catch looking back. It is in the world of humans, a human with a left and right side. 

But, look deep into its eyes behind the face with the smile. It is no perfection, in those eyes there is no true light. 
It is at best - half wrong and half right.

I Am the Clay - 2

Hands move hastily, yet gentle
Perfecting the design
With creative fingers, sensitive
To the clay, the substance
That will be brought to life
With the subtle hints of wonder

Hands shift clay into pieces
Of earthen vessels, vibrant pottery
Terra cotta turned into graceful
Jugs. Pitchers and bowls
Delicious works from strokes
Both tender and persuasive

Hands change clay from soft
Supple mud to delicate formations
Brought to life by enchanting
Hearts who give their best to craft
Out containers worthy of the word
Perfection, flawless, whole, finished

Like God above who works with us
Creating something wonderful, 
Something complete and whole
Because He gives the very best
To those He ingeniously changes
From dirty mud to miraculous creations


Jeremiah 18:6 (KJV) O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as the potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Stream of Conciousness

collaborate, elaborate

conductively emasculate

submissive, entanglement

collectively salivate.

redistributive contemplate

delirious encapsulate danger-

actualize, substitutive penalize.

collectively, abstractness from

radiance to darkness.

antagonistic death rate

the fallacy in dead weight.

reprehensible antithesis

conglomerate esophagus. 

speckled and corroded,

constructively demoted.

perniciously solitude, destitute and longitude.

contact free cohesively elongated actuality.

substantially creative

ingeniously innovative.

crafting masterpiece from thread

contempt breeds success or death.

the effort does not translate to achievement.

Cattle Egret

The whitish bird,
Soon in the midst of a herd:
One, two and, soon, a third ….
Partly there to supervise their curd,
Fractionally, to catch their navigating word;
Sometimes around pacing like their king,
While their “moos” in its ears ring.

But chiefly the Egret is visiting a dining table,
Of which a reaching it is capable:
Easily, a pecking pouncing on the parasites.
That their dung-smeared bodies have chosen as sites.

At this, forever,
The ingeniously clever,
Neat-looking Cattle Egret,
Doesn’t an unhygienic meal regret.

Oh God

God almighty of generations all,
who did witness great empires rise and fall.
We gladly wait for thy eternal reign,
when saints martyred will beam with smiles unfeigned.

God immortal of centuries ageless,
whose dexterity carved our global ball.
When will thy saints the new earth inherit?
where conduct is guided by thy spirit.

God universal of all earth's races,
who ingeniously made different faces.
We anxiously wait for contempt to cease
in our world of disdain and fragile peace.

God magnanimous of fields succulent,
who buried riches in lands opulent.
We thy loyal flock seek living water,
help us oh, Lord thy great laws to master.

God the merciful of love undeserved,
who through Christ the entire human race served.
Mercifully hear us thy servants plead.
Help us obliterate each carnal misdeed.

C a R D I N a L S

C-Carefree, calm, curiously collected

R-Red feathered beauties

The Thrill Is Gone

Expeditious plus instantaneous fox,
apt o'er daredevil weathering, parts his lair,
ingeniously resourceful, and nevermore...
     ~~to be outwitted,

A lackluster canine, faults, near some stillness
of his stoop, peering somewhat from droopy sights
that influence his realm ... dropped at points from his
     ~~elongated snout,

Heydays concerning happenings, abandoned 
diverse anecdotes from a dog sovereignty
when challenged through a fox determination
               ~~engaged fraught dispute,

Lacks nurtures endurance, sequence marks a fox,
the dog's yoke weighs domestically heavy--
*"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
     ~~end fox versus dog.

A Crocheted Potholder

Fecund sewer ingeniously knitted 
An ornately crocheted potholder was made
 
Bragged her complete oeuvre at first 
But its worthless in everybody’s sight 

It may be futile or trifling
What can it flaunt is nothing

The Cuisiner's hands are sheathed
From  scorching cauldron was protected

No acclaim, no reward travail
From first light to nightfall with ill 

Hard work makes it smeared and  filthy
At old age, it will be banished away

Cs Lewis

His ingeniously crafted Narnia glows
With so many wise and amazing prose
Love shining brightly through its text
So very eager for what comes next

This beautifully written tale’s foundation
Brought my own heart so much adoration
The lessons within its astonishing pages
Reminding me that this story truly engages

I was blessed to read it all word for word
And it was a world that I certainly preferred
The story brought about such tenderness
All the beautiful animals so tame and generous

No other artist holds so much of my respect
As this wonderous writer who is so perfect

Intensity of Being Gifted

The intensity of her minds wiring
into her writing leaves some people
feeling uncomfortable that the rug 
of shag comfort has been ripped apart
from underneath them and that was not her
intention, in mentioning that shes so gifted,
and prolific, that shes making it hard for them, 
too just drink inside the depths, of the carpet
fibers of her minds intelligence, weaving
creative ingeniously into the design of just being
who she really is, an ornamental carpet ,to display,
 on the floor of peoples discontented and
uncomfortable jealousy in their weaving of 
the fibers of the rumors of her being " Just Crazy".

Ingenue Is a Name

Wind that blows from the north,
Crown this little note a breath.
Wind that blows from the south,
Gather these dreams and make them the truth.
Wind that blows from the west,
Fan this body away from boredom test.
Wind that blows from the east,
Gather up for nee what is best.
Wind that blows from beneath
The earth,
Crosses over 
And stretches your wings over,
Empowers and strengthens 
This -an ingeniously evergreen.



nee: originally

Abound

Humanity.
Men,
Women,
Children,
to the millionth degree.

Visions,
numerous,
countless fantasies,
paired with hopes,
synonomous dreams.

Beaming through eyes,
thoughts often materialized,
come ingeniously to us mere mortals,
brave of some to share, others come to realize.

Some,
Others,
afraid to pursue their own,
leaving us wondering.... why???
hold back!!!!,
extinguish fears,
allow your hopes to resound!!!!
Simply because they are yours,
allow them to ABOUND!!!!

What a world this would be, if we could materialize all our dreams.

Proud Mommy

Let me paint a picture descriptively
going on ten he's only three
ever so smart as can be
with an enormous vocabulary
mastermind of colors, numbers, and ABC's
Harvard, Yale, or Stanford University
a bachelors or masters degree 
a bright future I foresee
runs like a flash of lightening
a grand finale of fireworks of energy
mentally challenging 
exhausting me physically
yin and yang personality
on the cusp of gemini and cancer, diversity
brilliant ear for musicality
memorizes songs effortlessly
carrying and holding a tune in every key
happily he love's to sing
smiling, friendly, cuddly
at time even naughty
sense of humor ingeniously witty
lives fearlessly
a bundle of purity
Loved and loves unconditionally
blessed spiritually
tremendously I'm a proud Mommy
