On a blue and balmy afternoon, as I lulled on my porch swing.

Moods Colors
My moods are most confusing
Viewed from the outside
Borne aloft on potent waves
Of Emotion's tides

A scream ripped from silence, shattering the night.

As Cole rode across the Dakota prairie,
sweating a bit under the suns harsh bite,
he saw ahead of him a slight woman’s form,
she walked bare-footed, naked, and pale white.

Sunburns had reddened her shoulders and neck,

“The only light from a sword have sheltered me from despair
The balance of reality and dreams, welcomes nothing to compare
Dreams were afterall the insanity of one’s desire
Made to believe moments before the awakening hour

At twenty-three, Brett found his girl,
A green-eyed vision with strawberry curls,
A year of dating came and went,
And wedding bells the sky did rent.

And rushed at night, tales to...

What theory unifies forces, weak, strong,
With gravity— also, to which belong
All the string theories of why and because?
To answer these queries, M-theory does.

I am all alone in this great big world
My destiny is being unfurled
I am responsible for my plight
And what I may do tonight

There is no one else to put my shame
Only me, myself, and I...

Trust?
What is Trust?
Is it a belief?
Or is it a profound awareness?
Or maybe selective acceptance?
Is it possibly a denial of choosing?
Or could it be a faith?

Or denial of oneself?
Do we trust in...

Orbiting its sun
Light and energy to warm and stir its life
Conceived by God....
With one explosive...singular...divine idea

Launching time and place and an expanding universe
Ruled by...

A friend suggested we should be content with "things"
instead of being...
