     The sun provides me light from without
        My faith provides it from within

     On days when no light shines on my skin
        What’s within dispels any doubt

Premium MemberLighter side of things


The road is long,
unexpected happenings
I found the perfect place to live,
not knowing the crisis I would endure
The waves rolled in,
The world spun around me
As I literally fought for my life
While I recover, I have many thoughts
I don't focus on the disruption to my new peaceful place
I am grateful for the timing, the lighter side of

     For those who want to ‘kill all the Jews’
        Here’s some food for thought

     Get a rabbi to extend Passover one more week
        You’ll love what will have been wrought

Premium MemberOn the Lighter Side

I don’t like the da, da da, da dark 
Keep the nightlight on, please! 
I would rather sit in the park 
With the Sun always on, you see 
I for real really don’t like the dark 
Especially when evil lurking shadows 
Leep out at me, sneak up on me 
I would really rather be 
Kneading

Blood vs Water

A heavenly mix,
that gives a perfect fix.
They say blood is thicker than water,
a reverberating old proverb.

But, I object!!!
Course in the world I am living,
water is magic.
In the world I am living,
water is no different.

It can be lighter, but it is an anchor,
And blood can be thicker, but predominantly bitter.
Hence, the concept is invalid
to me, if

Vicky my poor widow and maid
I had to pause
and write you this page
A passing though my love has made
to mention you and the love I caged
My sight was your prisoner
when ever you were around
Desire well known deceptive clown
I fought the worlds reality
and defeat it with eternity
My love will out live time itself
A piece of my

Premium MemberThe Savior of the World - 2

There are times when I seek Him
With all my heart and soul
But just can’t seem to see Him
In the life where I know
He is keeping me from harm
Kissing me with light
Whispering peace into my thoughts
And coloring me in hues of hope

There are moments when I yearn
To touch His heart with my own
But I just can’t

Beautiful Black Girl

Beautiful black girl your shade is divine, your silky lacquer skin looks so rich against mine.  You are so beautiful, in time you will know it, you will be refined.

I lived so long with the shame of being so dark.  I did everything I could, I scrubbed as if my skin

Lighter Than a Cloud

Would not my eyes express delight
to see the flash upon the water bright
As porpoise play on mornings dawning day
I follow them and dance along the way

Could not my heart be lighter then a cloud
as rise the sun to lift my sleepy shroud
then greet some friends and smile in unison
we weave our days with love that

An Empty Lighter

I found fire 
in the house
without a spark.
A whisper
snapping through flint.

I found fire
in me.
I looked up
and the blue orange evening sky
was there, and so was everything.
And the silent movement 
of my face smiling
made me a flame

The lighter side, always the best
Laughter dissolves all pain
Acting not at ego’s behest
 Worries to rest are lain

Learn from laughing Buddha 
Pure life, free from stigma
Alpha and Omega

Joy throbs inside
The lighter side
