?? What about the darkness?
Incapacitated Captain captive
In the light why must we gather together
And hide in the open
Why must we swallow in denial ?
Hoping of hopeless beings
Submerged caught on the pendulums of a Frosty deserved
How can it be,
How shall it be all I know...
Is it is what it is !!
Come off Camelot, Kum & Go go away
All I can do
All I can say
It is what it is
Captive creatures clutter the hall
Selfish children playing with balls
Harness the harnesses buckles the way
All I can do is say...
It is what it is
Captive television on the radio
Circus clowns
Getting down
Fanny force on the ground
I think what I am
I am what I think
What about darkness twine intertwine with the night ?
Everything is peaceful everything's alright
Can not hopeless for hoping for more
Shallot bb8 show once
Was lost now is found
No need to worry Universal worldliness this world in a twirly
No really had this feeling
Reality is what is not real what is real is a dreamt
Wake up in your consciousness for the troops is bound by the battles
Army of ants suit up against the worms ready for battle
Please the fiddle Pied Piper and trolls control everything we hold dear Resonating Complicating complicity of heightened peers for the truth is my friend just well!
It is what it is
Is never is
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep,
and miles to go before I sleep” (Robert Frost).
The woods know my secrets
For I open my heart
In this enclosed sanctuary of God
As folded branches draw my eyes
Upward, ever upward
Towards the emerald ceiling
With a skylight
From which streams
The light of heaven
Pure and sweet
On my face
The trees are my counselors
Sacred dispensers
Of the mysteries of God
Sentinels tall and majestic
Guarding my hushed sacred hours
Of contemplation and renewal
The would be silence
Sweetly disturbed
By the sounds of His creatures
Filling God’s outdoor sanctuary
With a heavenly hymn of praise
Each trail leads me deeper and deeper
For my heart longs to be
In the Holy of Holies
In the very presence of the Creator
On holy ground
Yes, Yes!
He is here
His presence
Envelopes me
After my communion
The closing benediction of sunlight
Guides me home
The thinning trees whisper
“Forget us not” stories to me
As I pass them by
Stories of long ago pilgrims
From another time
Yet one with me
The same
Pilgrims in search of sanctuary
A place of solace
A place of tenderness
A place of discovery
Where they come to learn
The miles left to go
Till journey’s end
When they must lie down
In well deserved sleep
Safe under the shadows
Of God’s mighty trees
Resting, resting
Blissful sleep
In the Sanctuary
In HIS sanctuary
In the woods…..

I'm not easy
For people to talk to.
I'm quiet and awkward
And what do I say?
(Why don't I say more?)
I'm not that pretty,
I'm average at best.
You say I'm beautiful
But you say it to other girls too.
(It should just be me...
Why do you search their ig?)
I'm not that funny,
My jokes are dumb.
I laugh at them,
But you don't blink.
(You shake your head.
Where is your smile?)
I'm not that smart.
You try and tell me that I am,
But you call me dumb jokingly
And I can't do numbers in my head.
(You were condescending at times.)
I'm not all that strong,
But I don't think you wanted me to be.
You asked if that's my hardest
And laughed.
(Was it funny?)
I couldn't give you all that you wanted.
You wished for more than a kiss,
But I always got sick
Whenever you touched me.
(You always got mad.)
I'm not strong willed
And you took advantage of that.
Got me at my weakest
And manipulated me from the source.
(You realized my weakness
Was wanting to please you.)
I never knew how to talk
About serious topics with you.
So I always got quiet
And you always got annoyed.
(I'm sorry.)
You confided in everyone else
And expected me to just know.
Everyone understood,
While I stood there looking stupid.
(Was it worth it?)
You got mad all the time,
When I was with others,
And not you,
Or when you thought I would leave.
(I should have,
But I tried to give you
The benefit of the doubt.)
I tried to be good,
Gave you more space than you deserved.
Pretended I was fine
Watching you party every weekend.
(While I sat at home,
Just waiting for a message.)
I tried not to take up space,
Hoping that was what you'd like.
I was pressured half the time,
And you never really noticed.
(Everyone else did.)
I put all my trust in you
All the time, always.
Look at where that got me.
Settled, unhappy, and completely undeserved.
I should have listened to those around me,
I should have listened to the signs.
But learning curve and all that,
I caught it in time.
I'm no longer yours,
And you're no longer mine.
You don’t want to hear his laughter.
When this Father has to come down there
like in don’t make me come downstairs…
When the Lord laughs;
when he scoffs,
all bets are off.
You’ll be dizzy
when you see the hosts of heaven,
the giant scepter…
the crown.
He is enthroned in heaven.
There is no better place.
This kingdom can never be replaced.
You can’t kick @ ss.
You will certainly be thinking
in the waiting cell
of all the h #ll
you’ve put people through.
I can see you calculating excuses—
why they deserved it.
And it was fun…remember.
You’ll be sheepishly smiling
but with each clank
of an opening cell
you’ll be sweating,
anxiety replenishing,
sick with a tummy ache.
This can’t be real…
close your eyes.
It's only a nightmare.
But your senses
are all too clear,
top form
in fact.
For the really big mistakes
dad made you wait…
and this is a really big whopper…
So you grow angry
curse and swear
using every profanity.
You see it n*e*v*e*r
occurs to you
to get down on your knees.
Gravity calls;
the jig is up.
Key turns in the lock

Psalm 2
Animals remarkably deal with life and death situations.
They seem to have this unique ability to quickly move on,
and perhaps we could all learn a lesson from them.
When you get down to it, you only really have two options.
You can medically and emotionally surrender to your cancer problem,
or like an animal, you fight like hell and continue surviving.
Cancer is just a word, it isn't a sentence.
In your battle keep telling yourself this over and over again.
Never Give Up! Never Stop Fighting!
Look at cancer as your prey and not you as cancer's victim,
and before you know it you'll bring cancer to its well deserved end.
It is said that a parent's love is the purest form of love that can be found on earth,
But what about a child's love, silent yet strong,
Carrying the burden of gratitude and understanding, an unspoken promise to give back
All that was given to them, every dream and every unwritten hope.
A child may never speak the words aloud, but they know,
They know about the nights when parents stayed awake, worried about the future,
About the moments when they smiled through pain just to keep the warmth at home,
About the dreams they left behind so that their child's could take flight.
And so, when a child dreams of success, they never do it just for themselves,
It is for the mother who wore the same old clothes so they could have new books,
For the father whose hands were hardened by years of hard work,
So theirs could remain soft and gentle, for those who asked for nothing but deserved the world.
A child carries this love as a silent promise to give back,
To bring back the laughter that once faded, to ensure their parents no longer feel the weight of struggle,
Because no matter how much time passes, no matter how far they go,
A child may never say it, may never find the right words,
But deep in their soul, one of their greatest dreams is to look their parents in the eye and say—
"It's your turn to rest now. Let me take care of you."

Faith shows allegiance. It's the firm belief in things unseen.
It's the trust the blind have when told the leaves are green.
A scientist has faith in principles, in things established as true.
He uses it as the basis to experiment, seeking something new.
A farmer has faith when he sows seed, then waits in expectation
of harvesting a bumper crop, but it takes work and dedication.
We can't see Winter wind, but believe it brings blizzard snows
and we know the wind exists because we shiver when it blows.
We haven't seen the face of God but have faith that He is real.
Without faith in our Father, we'd not have hope as a shield.
There are trials that put the strength of our faith to the test.
Scripture explains the importance of it in our lives the best,
"Everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness."*
They are the words of Jesus, at a time when people were heartless.
If we exercise faith in God's word, honor Him with deserved glory,
and believe Bible prophecy is true, we will never have to worry.
My heart was touched when upon His promise my sad eyes fell,
"Take courage, daughter! Your faith has made you well."**
*John 12:46
**Matthew 9:22

I reveal to the world, a side of me
A side known to be sweet, polite and funny
While I hide to the world, another side of me
The side engaged always in ceaseless fights with shadows
Why, a part of me does be filled with past blows
Blows that did scar my soul, my heart, my whole life
Blows that do still follow me like eternal shadows
Blows that still do remind me of how painful were the pricks of cruelty's knife
Shadows they are, made of mine own
Shadows that are still to others' opinions, so prone
Why, even if I do wish to, I shall not be able to let them go
For, shadows they are, that do remind me of how my youth was ruled by my own ego
At times, of these I do sit and write
At times, I do believe I deserved them right
At other times, I wish that my life was not made of these
Why, I do believe that they are my disgrace, for taking life to be made of too much ease
Why, should I reveal to the world my shadows
The world shall itself turn all morose
Pray, better it be that I do forget about them and hide them well
Shadows are after all, things of darkness, things that shall eventually go to hell!
I failed to comment
on wonderful poems,
but they deserved a response
from me with many wishes sent!
I apologize with a sorry heart
for the hesitation and delay on my part,
nothing pleases me more than reading a fine poem
that can inspire, comfort and cheer up someone in a cold home!
I will make this solemn promise:
to review and comment on all, if time allowed; and if others
took their valuable time to review mine, I would review theirs, too...
to make our bond stronger: to understand each other as friends do!
I'm starting today as the Christmas' Spirit kicks in and the peddlers croon a lot;
I'll respond even after a hard day's work wearing these reading glasses fogging up
when heat arises to make them worse than theye are...so be confident that you'll hear
from me soon, and please accept my apologies for my tardiness with a loud Holiday cheer!
