House Keeping
After she left the house for realities unknown, abandoned rooms became discrete spaces fully occupied by her thoughts. Buses still stop two doors down, sparrows hop over the stalks of dead roses. Road dust carpets, then is windswept away. Eventually, Girl Guides selling cookies scrub her address off clipboards. The mail has begun to forward itself to nowhere. The house whispers to passing pedestrians, It calls...

"There's a river meandering through the mind" It flows like a torrent, so often I find My thoughts when they bank up, and reach breaking point A deep breath is needed before all is spoilt. This rescue plan calms me, the word flow I stop My lifebuoy surrounds me so I stay on top. The river will then flow, while keeping...

To my children think about Jesus, do it every single day. Don’t just read about him, do the things the bible say. The Bible is God’s truth, and you will not be deceived. The only thing he asks of us, is simply to believe. There is nothing, great or small, that our God can’t do....

Keeping Fingers Crossed
A silent ritual, a whispered plea, fingers intertwined, a fragile lattice of hope. We bend them, contort them, these extensions of our will, as if their awkward posture could sway the universe, as if a physical knot could bind fate to our desire. Is it misbelief, a relic of ancient fears, a tactile appeal whispered to unseen forces? Or a desperate act...

Premium Member Wrap me in your silk like a dream, a moment worth keeping beneath closed eyes
Wrap me in your silk like a dream, a moment worth keeping beneath closed eyes, Perhaps I'll be wounded or thawed by the warmth that tenderly seeps within, The frenzy of the shawl’s thread weaves my thoughts, like a circle of fate, For warmth or for death—a choice binding my soul to freedom's gate. I must capture the triumph...

In the quiet psalm, As light falls gentle, calm Breaking through the softest of skies, Inviting hearts to the kindest sunrise – where once, the One who made the day, reveals the love that found a way, the precious love for which hearts pray – the beautiful that I will forever say… in the silence of the psalm, rises the wonder, in His...

The bartender strolls from one end of the counter to the other. She makes small talk with regulars who watch NFL games on screens and a college basketball game plays on another. For each touchdown scored mugs are raised. Fans analyze every run and play and the day unfolds. while the bartender pours beers. She says her boyfriend and dog are at home. A man at the end...
