Premium MemberThe Good Old Days

As old age upon us descends,
we view the past through rosy lens.
It seems to us that bygone days
were far better in many ways.

The memories of better times
help us cope when life serves up limes.
They give us hope that better days
will soon return, like Dawn’s bright rays. 

 But dreaming of the good old days
can cause us to live in a daze
and rob us of the good in life
that abounds amidst its strifes.

The good old days had their fair share
of heartache, trouble, strife, and care.
The present times, in many ways,
are better than the good old days.

Treasure the good from bygone days
Let them inform your present ways
So, you can reap the very best,
As you progress in your life quest.

Premium MemberA LIFE AND DEATH PERSPECTIVE

A LIFE AND DEATH PERSPECTIVE 

Living and dying,
Should not be deemed as surreal;
They are both so real:-
The crucifixion was real;
Likewise, was the ascension:-

Living and dying;
Physical realities,
Canvassing the soul:-
The soul sowing the spirit:
Is not Christ still here with us?

Never fret dying,
And being retired from life;
Spiritual pension waits:-
With washed feet of love’s labors,
Live and die in God’s glory:-

Premium MemberForever Blessed


His light, falls gently
Erasing the melancholy
The summer’s grief
Restless praises, stirred
By the music of a grace
Beyond the heavens,
Where love can amaze….

Sweet notes of praise,
On lips of leaf and life
When starlight trembles
Keeping away this strife…

Autumn’s brisk light
Falls across the night
Where melancholy
Whispers to a moon so bright,
Streams of tear like dewdrops
Rest on the soul who knows
Whatever comes in this life
God above will exalt…
Every heart who remembers
He is One who knows me best
And, with Him, life is forever blessed!

Premium MemberFor A Reason


Through life we learn about hurt and goodness
We learn about pain and healing
We learn about love and betrayal
Year after year, lessons take place in our minds
All that's required is the awareness to see them
Just when you may think nothing can get better,
know that change is always sweetly evolving
Let yourself be insightful, intuitive, use your talents
Everyone has them and can learn new ones too
It is a choice and our choices navigate our lives
Be the best you can be; because you are here for a reason!

Premium MemberIn This Rhyme


The bird soared high above me
Showing off, it is so free
Open skies and puffy white clouds
Away from all the busy crowds
I watched, I pondered, many things
All that evolves, all that life brings
I am grateful for all of the good,
even with all the bad; I wish I could...
change in this wild,  chaotic world
All the trauma I witnessed that whirled
But, there is always something better
It takes focus, persistence and belief
Trust me, there are ways to find relief
It is hard to believe in a turbulent time
    - I can only say it in this rhyme -

Premium MemberSt. Cera

In her hair, she placed a rose,
so like her own curling petals;
richly red, her eyes deep blue
A sweet lilt musical as heaven.
In her heart from birth she sensed
love as wide and deep, all seas!
And through her life she sought
her God, only for him to please….
She danced over the rough stages
of life, her leaps resounding rhythms.
She sang a sacred healing Light -- 
though born late, in a dark eve her 
unrelenting Irish never gave way 
to night.

Premium MemberThe Prices Paid

What was the price I paid for life?
None; it was given me.
The cost of spite and strife
Was great, but I in turn learned humility.
With age came wisdom and dignity,
The scepter of compassion,
The scales of honesty,
Where we need
Consider the frailty
Of those tender hearts
Fallen before me,
For there is always a price to pay
For living as what we say,
Be it by fault
Or be it by may.

“Man’s word is god in man”,
I once read an old King say.

Premium MemberOF FAITHFUL FORTIFIED FEET

OF FAITHFUL FORTIFIED FEET

In the chill
of the night,
pining, piercing pain,
took its toll on the spirit
of my weary pedals:
swollen, aged feet,
seeking Hannibal-like 
courage to meet
new sunrise challenges
tomorrow will bring
to a primed soul
still sojourning
struggle:-
Pray tell,
it’ll be God’s will,
that these
worn soles,
will stand
my worn soul,
perpendicular
to the worn
soil of life:
keeping me
in elephant-walking calmness,
in another blessed day, sacredly
still sojourning the struggles of life—
struggles, God streams us overcoming:-

Premium MemberDeath Will Not Silence

I doubt that death
will silence me – really,
I do! Too aware of my 
sleep walking and
forgotten dreams, tacit 
residuals of restless nights -- 

I sense that I have traveled
both day and by night

from light into dark, when
my body prone then did my
spirit embark --

life requires no full memory
record, vivid enough if
times, as many of mine, illusive 
yet stark --

Reaps rotting repulsive rage:

Healing hot hell’s heating hate:         
Plowed peace perfected 

Living lovely life,

Fruitful faith flowing:-
