But in all reality, When people aren’t honest with themselves or others, The truth will, unfortunately, make a person feel smothered. What is meant by smothered is going into defense mode, A zone where it’s now hard to...

I pay attention. I see the sadness in a young schoolgirl’s eyes When she has been cruelly ridiculed and ostracized. For what? She doesn’t look the same As others; too tall, too fat, too blonde. Does she have the wrong last name? I pay attention. I see the old woman setting alone on her sunny porch Accompanied by lush green plants silently...

Why is the sky blue? Asked Jimmy Fantastic question! Why indeed? Why did The Creator Whether God or Science or a Scientific God Choose blue Instead of forest green, pale yellow, or maroon? Is it because the day seems cheerier The world brighter The people friendlier Due to the color overhead? A Mount Everest of evidence shows Humans are happier Outside Under the blue. So, why...

In the classroom of the Cosmos Experience is the just and thoughtful Master. She taxes us to teach us strength, plays silent games to teach us laughter. How can we scorn Her wisdom, and cry She's been unfair, if the Lessons bring us closer to the Truth of who we really are? It's so much easier not to strive for...

Doctor Fell taught at University Park, like stars gather for enlightenment; And was stern, diligent and upright, like pink cactus bloom environments. He was dedicated to his striving students, although strict about lessons; And there were penalties for those missed, like when grape sun lessens. Doctor Fell abided by obeying rules, feeling students needed a firm hand. Infractions...

You turned your back while facing towards me A spin like no other, right out of my life Comfort vanquished in a minute of pain With every moment that passed, my heart sank My tears spiked the ground that you dared ti walk on No amount of conversation could stop this Running behind someone that never turned...

I have holes in me, Where elated moments once blurred The reality and the dream, The winds and the seas, The joy and the grief. I have holes in me, Where colors can bleed Scarlet and cobalt, Violet becomes my destiny, While truth reaches beneath the weeds, Planting seeds of dandelion dreams. I have holes in me, Where robins speak, Betraying my need, Listening like the stars Who see through...

Reflecting on my life A lifetime of lessons learnt along the way Some harder than others Still learning to this day I have learnt the importance of kindness The power it truly holds Just a small act of kindness Positive changes will enfold I have learnt the importance of loved ones The true meaning of loving unconditionally To cherish the ones who surround me Enjoying time...
