Marriage has it's ups and it's downs
But it far exceeds the alternative
A lonely life without love and affection
Love's one of life's true superlatives
Some days we have heated discussions
That's how it was meant to be
Then she does something ever so sweet
And you forget why you disagreed
It isn't always going to be clear sailing
But if the bond is truly strong
It's worth the struggles times over
If you're lucky it will end up lifelong
The male tendency is to play the field
But trust me life's way too short
To become involved at playing the field
Probably means some time in court
Not sure the ladies will like my analogy
It's the lesser of two evils as they say
Oh boy I think I may have done it this time
Must convince Cathie it's just a cliche
Awake, in the silence of the night, a sound is heard
Winds of change whisper heaven’s secret Word
Breaking free the chains that bind and enthrall
Declaring the call to rise and stand tall
With the dawn breaking, a new day's light
Illuminates paths previously out of sight
A shift in the cosmic battles unfold
Guiding us towards our futures yet untold
Seek and activate angelic intervention
To navigate life's complex situation
Trade moments of doubt and despair
For destinies, beyond compare
Call angels to descend, their might to bestow
Guiding us through life’s trajectory high and low
Embracing life’s crown with a heart full and light
Arise beyond ups and downs, reaching new heights
Poetry In A Mix
Here I sit, writing as I do,
God's gift to me that I can gift to you!
If I couldn't say things in poetry,
they wouldn't come out,
and be put on display?
Life's a journey; this is true.
Adventurous, thrillable,
the ups and downs, too!
God give me this gift,
this wondrous act it be.
Poetically displaying words of expression,
these things you can see?
I thought I'd write a poem
and introduce myself to you?
Hi, my name is Bill,
A pleasure to meet you, too!
Sit back,
relax,
read a line or two?
You never know where my words
will take you,
as I'm writing when I've something to say?
All you need to do is,
open your mind,
to a world to your imagination?
Might our journeys take us back in time?
Something else with this poem is relevant innovation,
and I'm ringing up the chime.
Mom’s mother would load up the car like nobody’s business. Random supplies, clothes handsewn and hand-me-downs, handmade quilts, food, oranges, 50lb tins of shortening to convert into dual-purpose storage and seats with pretty little skirts. She was determined to make the long annual roadtrip worthwhile. As kids, she was the only Santa Claus we ever knew.
every visit a winfall
worth the anticipation
hugs and blessings

"My Time is Done"
As I sit here,
And look back on my life,
I see all the things,
I've known, seen and strife.
I've had my ups and had my downs,
But now I know,
That my time has passed on.
No more chances; No more days.
My time is gone,
My breath is frayed.
As I say goodbye,
To the world I knew.
I know one thing's true,
That my time is through.
I look to the stars,
And feel the wind blow.
As I close my eyes and I feel at peace,
As my soul dies,
I take with me all the memories,
The ones I've loved,
And those that loved me.
And I know that now,
My time is done,
But I go in peace,
My soul is won.
For I've lived my life with all my might,
And now I know,
I'll sleep tonight,
And though my time is gone.
My memories live on,
As I say goodbye,
To the world I know,
And I close my eyes for my time is done,
And I say goodbye.

I am searching, searching for the key to my heart,
In the times of redemption, it will bequeath treasures of my heart.
I asked the mighty eagle, have you seen the key?
He hovered over the prairies and cliffs, finally hanged his head over the top of the tree,
I asked the black birds chirping on the tree limbs,
The swarm looked all over the field, and flew back to the tree called home.
I asked the stray deer, he stared at me,
While I admired his beauty, he galloped over to the river bank.
I asked the pair of parrots, ignoring me they watched the peacock dance before the rain,
Nearby cuckoo bird echoed in the sweet tune, look within yourself.
I asked the lover, waiting for his arrival on the banks of river,
There was the sparkle in her eyes, maybe he has the key to her heart.
I asked the surfer, riding the mighty ocean waves,
The ups and downs of life are like riding the waves, the key is in the feelings itself.
Tired I come home, my one-year old granddaughter gives me a hug,
I ask her, she babbles, and I wonder, have not I found it already at hand?
I fall into my days completely up or terribly down
The ups are much more frequently
But the downs are dangerous
Deadly downs
Writing has compelled me to throw down my truth
Which I cannot do in words or if people are looking
No one sees me on a poetry site
Some hate me and I care not
Poetry was something I never thought I would do
I thought it was foo frew and stupid actually.
Then I read Coleridge
Although I did not understand his words
I completely understood his feelings
I did not come to poetry writing easily
It was something to do at work one day
When I was stuck there for seven hours
with nothing to do because it was conferences
And no parent wants to talk to a counselor on conference day
I fell into it accidentally
But it helps the ups and the downs
And forces me to find good inside myself
Our Toxic Friendship
Are we addicted to this pain that we both bring
Or is it the high from the friendship we both feen
We both have admitted ourselves that we tend to bleed love
I don't think either of us knows when enough is enough
When separated were lost without each other
But when were together we make each other suffer
It's the potential inside each other that we must see
We tend to struggle to be what the other wants us to be
Constantly in fear of losing each other or giving up in pain
But through the ups and downs we always feel the same
I say we're toxic because our vulnerability is at stake
But why do we worry when our friendship isn't fake
Together we should be making each other feel secure
Leaving no room for doubt if our feelings are pure
Our friendship seems to bring us more anxiety
Often lost in thought is where you would find me
We can never say that we're no good for each other
We've been close for years and want to take it further
We're like each other's drug and strong addiction
We're in constant need of each other's attention
Through unspoken words we can feel each other's pain
Emotionally were the same with no fingers to point the blame
As toxic as our friendship may appear to be
No one wants to let go, neither you or me
Standing on the razors edge
Between darkness and light
Sitting in a folding chair
On the left side of right
Waving in the direction
Of hello and goodbye
Twisted in between the scene
Of I will and might
Climbing on the silver ladder
Of the ups and downs
Stuck somewhere in time
Of standing still and going round
Stuffed deep down in a box
Labeled Lost and Found
Pulling myself out of
Giving up and giving out
Hanging on wherever
Between the never know and there about
Knocking on the oak door
In the frame of in and out
Standing on the shore line
Of the river of dreams and waves of doubt
This is where I find myself
So many times just hanging out
Come on —
Be
Free from angst-sigh-ah-tee
2016 —
My feet are light
As a feather
No doubts...for now!
Worry less please
Ups and downs though...
Has big impact
On our weird lives
Have faith
In
The Leader from on High
(The Lord of Accord of truth, no lie that I deny)
When it struck 12,
Eyes, enlightened,
Look high and low......
Witnessing lies
(Sifting out the g'byes)
In a drama
Coma right now
I see, I smell,
I touch, I feel
I taste
Love
In a spiritual realm
(longing to see what His elegant, gracious view sees, longing to borrow Jesus Christ's eyes that shine ever anew like a telescope that discovers stars, twinkling so true...like a microscope that detects cells and germs that can pass around the flu)
