Premium Member GRANDMA’S PRAYING HANDS
Hands of wisdom Gone on to God’s Kingdom Guidance in understanding Knowing and sustaining Heaven on high The watch from Thy Encouragement that was broad My heart being assured Grandma’s years of living experience Her impact and influence Strength endurance Grandma wise Seeing I to I Times of Discipline Wrong to right Youthful years sometimes resent As an Adult, I understand Her song her own, “Afterwhile” I am enriched to stand and withstand Her...

Premium Member Our journey thus far
1 Intent Assigning no meaning to grace imbibed, we watch how we are breath by breath transformed, drenched in bliss mists that cannot be described, trouncing ego, last bastions of mind stormed. With God-search the aim, our journey began, brought about simply, by force of our will, heart’s fervour the means and also the plan, as a non-doer by making thoughts still. There was...

Premium Member From Dusk Till Dawn
An isolating darkness looms: A numb yet tingled skin; And residues of twilight's gloom, As walls unseen close in. This place feels sharp, yet vague and stale; The clash stirs strife within. My fingers click and spread—a snap! So faint—I fear I'm dead. Insipid airs invade my lungs: The voices haunt my ears; Adrift in dreamlike black, undone, Alone, still lacking fear. Commanded, guided, commandeered My soul is...

On the move Trucker’s style Every highway mile Off ramp routes Through the night and next day Destination to destination arrive Sometimes clear skies Storms in otherwise Trucker’s highway friends Flashing of headlights and horns blowing Around highway bends and mountain highs and lows Views below Town citizen waves Eyes on the road and behave Truck stops Restaurant eats Country songs Accelerating as I move along Trucker’s wheels Turning Turning Turning Truckers Horn music An orchestra...

Premium Member Terminal Gate
Frightening silence pervaded Swelling of ground due to mounds here and there A tree adjacent the gate with a GHOSTLY stature Unfurling a dark blanket by its broad canopy Even birds don’t like to perch in the GODFORSAKEN place. Except the bulging- eyed owl A silent witness for GRIEF-STRICKEN hearts The fibre art of GOSSAMER aglow in the sunlight Floating gently like...

Premium Member Tricycle Sojouorn
I tied a string to my tricycle handle. In the basket, I placed a shining candle. From the other end, I tied a balloon. By hook and crook, I knew that one day soon, I'd be in the court of the Crimson King. But what would he offer - not a thing. He sailed a...

Today, Tomorrow and Forever
Today, tomorrow, and forever, Whether we stay together or not, You’ll always be the best part of my life I’ve got. I don’t know how long we’ll walk side by side, Or when time may take us on a different ride. Because we never know what tomorrow may bring— A journey together or separate wings. But no matter where life takes me...

House I Carry
I carry a house upon my back, A fragile frame of dreams and stone. Its windows cracked, its timbers black, But still I walk, and still alone. Each wall is built from words unsaid, From nights I stitched with fraying thread. Its roof is shingled with the dread Of all the tears I never shed. I pass through valleys, rivers wide, This house sways...

Reflections in the River’s Wake
In life’s wake Are trailing memories, Born from dreams With life’s bow fixed Toward an unseen horizon. Willed by bold stroke, The soul is set afloat Down a river never traveled— A river of doubt. Drifting Under the dark forest canopy The cacophony, Nature’s chorus, Is unusually silent. Only imagination’s din Echoes in the ears, Stirring the heart. An unuttered presage Taming hubris With its humbling message. On the liquid canvas Are sketches of nature Flowing past, Giving...

Premium Member Lost
Amid the fire of twilight sun I wish I knew my way horizon’s char and moonlight’s shun has ashed my hope I pray for dark cloud constellation to free a steed for me to flee gunshot streets for primrose to steal my jaundice and burn the itch in roadside stars for me to follow scent and sight and find forsaken...
