MIRACLE
       
                 Instructions of my Dad was priority.
                 He was my idol, philosopher-and guide.
                Miraculously got opportunity
                identifying myself really redefined.
           
               My father’s Colloquium arranged at best.
                Memorial Hall on Inauguration
               Everything formerly scheduled and well set.
                No scope for my active participation.
                
              Felt earnest urge to speak from core of my heart.
             I wrote about his works when he was alive.
             I must pay tribute and honor on my part.
             I had ventured on extempore speech to give.

             On my own performance I got astonished.
            Short, speedy, attractive speech to present Dad.
            Instant Tie bet Dad and I was established.
            Forgotten fact just mysteriously flashed.
            
           I recollected, in my Dad’s Cloud Chamber,
          forty years back I worked and was much surprised
           to find me as only one in seminar
          once worked in his project and was mesmerized.
                                    
         Overwhelmed on pure pristine placid perception
        of strong divine bond with my Late father. 
        Spoke as if guided on his illustration.
        Discovered me as true inheritor rather.   
         
        Existence of soul illuminated my mind.
        Eager Souls capable to communicate
        even on erased memories to rewind.
        Rhythms of emotive souls can resonate.

Premium Member Burlap and Satin

“You’re burlap and satin; you’re leather and lace,”
	the bride-to-be’s mother said. “He’s a disgrace!
	Break up with him. It’s not too late to save face.
	He’s our neighbor’s farmhand. He should know his place.”

	Her dad said, “He’s not in your league, can’t you see?
	If you marry, think of how poor you will be.
	You’ll not get one cent from your mother and me.
	Go give back that cheap little ring and be free.” 

	The daughter cried, “No, I’ll give you up instead
	if I must. I know what my grandparents said
	to you, Dad. They thought you were out of your head
	to want a rich, pampered girl. ‘Not her,’ they pled.

	And, Mom, how did Grandma and Grandfather feel
	when they met my Dad-to-be? Did he appeal
	to them as a good choice? YOU said they had real
	concerns. He seemed somewhat rough. So you would steal

	away to get married. Your choices were right.
	THAT—they now admit. Though you’re happy and quite
	successful, as newlyweds you had to fight
	your folks’ disapproval, and money was tight.

	We’re burlap and satin—as once were you two!
	Our future will have a much rosier hue
	if you bid your coldness—and not US—adieu!
	We don’t want your money. Your blessing will do!”

Premium Member A Grateful Heart

Regina
Tender, true, trusting, thankful 
Daughter of two hearts from the Smokies 
Lover of Jesus, family, poetry and truth
Who feels most alive when I’m giving, feeling, forgiving
Who fears the darkness of a heart without God
Who would like to see love overcome pride
Who would enjoy the sound of nature’s yawning
Who would like to give others a taste of hope
Who would bring serenity into the spirit
Who would live cautiously, within my limits
Who would light up the hearts who are hurting
With assurance that pure love abounds with joy
From the whisper of a Savior who gives courage
To face every struggle or sorrow with praise
For the One who gives grace to the stranger
The One who died and rose again so we could be
Alive in eternity – forever with Him!
McIntosh

Premium Member The Imperfect Perfect Christmas Cookie

She is a wonderful baker…with magical baking skills she is endowed…
being able to make the perfect cookie has always made her proud.

If you ask her friends and family…as a baker they’d shay she’s a 10…
but even a perfect baker has an off day now and then.

She was making snow globe cookies for her church to be served on Christmas night…
but when it came to the last cookie…she couldn’t get the decorations right.

“His hat is wrong.” She lamented. “His eyes are too big and his nose has gone south…
His body isn’t smooth enough…and don’t get me started on his mouth.”

“Is that a scarf or a lobster claw?  His arms are much too small…
This cookie,” she said dejectedly, “cannot be served at all.”

But she promised the church two dozen cookies and even thought it was not her best…
she didn’t have time to bake another…so she hid it under the rest.

She watched as children ate her cookies but as was to be her fate…
her ugly snow globe cookie was the last one on the plate.

As a mother handed this cookie to her daughter…the cookie she had botched…
the baker turned away…she was too embarrassed to watch.

“Thank you for the perfect cookie.” The mother told the baker…
The baker smiled thinking she was being kind…
until she saw the little girl with a crumb-filled smile sanding in front of her…
and realized…she was blind.

“Your cookie was delicious.” The young girl said as against her mother’s leg she leaned.
“It was the most beautiful cookie my hands have ever seen.

“His hat, his eyes…his nose…his scarf…his mouth…I could feel them all…
I love how you kept his body rough…did you mean to make his arms so small?”

I’m not sure how or why, you did it….the girl said enthusiastically 
but it was as if that perfect cookie…you created just for me…

Now the baker always brings two batches of perfect cookies with her
and everyone understands
one half are for those who see them with their eyes…
The other half…for those who see them with their hands.

My First Love

You captured my heart
Right from the first instant
Strong broad shoulders
Toned firm body
Lean and so tall
To me you seemed a giant
In stature and standing
But it was the details that got me
The small pulsing vein on your temple
Your mischievous knowing eyes 
Paved with tiny crinkles as you smiled
They stirred and warmed my soul
Your huge leathered hands
Capable of so much
But mine to hold
Your deep gentle voice
Every utterance precious 
You made me believe I was special
You made me believe I was beautiful
You made me believe I was invincible
You protected me
You adored me
You shaped me
I loved you
I worshipped you
I trusted you
I believed you
Now you are gone
You are far from forgotten
I see your legacy in the mirror
I hear myself saying your words
Doing things you would
The apple falls never far from the tree
My first love, my daddy

Premium Member Empty Rooms

EMPTY       ROOMS
   
 Sometimes there are echoes -
 echoes of past laughter,
 homeliness, warmth 
as all around is held with the 
flames of love and life.
Each corner is warm, 
welcoming and cosy.
A safe haven to rest and 
to just be.
To be loved and to love.
The clock chimes with the 
passing of time and yet
this life I grasp now remains 
immortal and frozen in the
past - undying - like the 
love I have for you.
The sweetest voice belonged to
you. How I miss it!
The warmest embrace was
yours to give to all.
The most radiant smile which
lit up from inside was
yours to bestow.
Your life, your legacy,
was your gift that was wrapped
in layers of love.
Perhaps the eerie silence wraps 
and hugs me like you
once did.
Perhaps the resounding walls 
of a symphony that no
longer plays doesn’t.
A home without its vibrating heart.
A home lost without your
beautiful, illuminated presence.
A home that is no longer a
home without your dwelling.
Haunted spirit of myself 
that drifts through mists
of loneliness.
There is but shattering silence.
Shards of a splintered heart 
that slices through as it grips the void 
with an iciness that could never melt.
Empty  
             spaces           empty 
           
             chairs 
                                   empty    
rooms

Total Abandon

Barreling down the mountain of forgetfulness, 
I raced to Wal-Mart for that last minute gift.  
We’ve not seen his children since Christmas.
Despite their quicksand of un-thankfulness, 
I want him to have something for this Father’s Day.  
His son has been in a swamp of discontinuance
lost in that great, lonely desert called New York City.
His daughter has sprouted sharp thorns of bias 
since their mother’s death and dad’s remarriage to me.

Arriving at the store early Sunday afternoon,
I did not expect such a thunderstorm of confusion.  
On the trash heap of heartlessness, 
clerks were already marking down common items 
like ties and shirts, aftershave and desk supplies.  
I moved past this obvious marsh of misery
to a safer spot and found myself in a fog.
I spotted an older woman I recognized.

In a sea of hopelessness, the two of us, ended up 
sharing doughnuts and expensive coffee in Starbucks
(cave of debauchery) in the front of the store.  
We indulged over footholds of remembrance, 
the gifts our kids had given us when they were in school – 
piles of hand prints, bookmarks, flower pictures and
homemade cards, simple, treasured, special gifts.

Abandoning my valley of sorrow caused by events
beyond my control, I quickly sped to the grocery aisle.
Racing back home I enjoyed fixing my best friend, 
a Father’s Day Supper that he would remember, 
complete with his favorite foods and dessert -
a gift totally given to pleasure, both his and mine.

Premium Member Do It For Your Children

Here are the cold hard facts everyone.
If you have given birth to a daughter or a son,
their future is going to be a very harsh and dark one, 
as will all of their future generations.
No one appears to see what I see,
hiding in plain site among everybody.
A worldwide plot to enslave everyone,
is now in the process, it has already begun.
Everyone is enraged about this wall of Trump's,
being constructed to keep out all immigrants,
but that isn't the reason that wall will be put under construction.
That wall will be built to keep American dissidents from escaping,
once marshal law is declared after the next 911 like event,
and then all dissidents and undesirables will be shipped to detainment camps,
where we will spend the rest of our lives living under horrific conditions.
When marshal law is declared, for our own so called protection,
that will be the beginning of the very end,
of the loss of our freedoms and our once very great nation.
All who aren't in enemy combatant detainment camps,
will have lost all of their liberties by our now dictatorial government.
Curfews will be harshly enforced. It will be mandatory to gain employment,
and you had better be so sick and near death if you dare to be absent.
This should be of major concern to everyone,
especially they who have recently given birth to children,
but all seem to retreat into their safe state of ignorance,
and I assure all of you, that ignorance will be our undoing.
If this disturbs anyone, I have the following suggestion,
Get Off Your Comfortable Complacent Asses And DO SOMETHING.
Take Action, Inform Everyone. Christ Almighty, Do Something, Anything.
Research All of this information,
before you deem me a crazy person and pass judgement,
if not for yourself or me, do it for your children,
because you have given birth to them,
and as such you have also sealed their damnation,
to a lifestyle lived under a fascist, military worldwide government.
