Appreciate the truth
Do you?
Would you rather a person not telling you
And let you go on your merry way without knowing?
When someone chooses to tell you things
That alone tells you that they trust in you
They shouldn’t even have to tell you
But they choose to
Are they close enough to you?
What makes them decide to tell you?
If it is not to your benefits
And theirs
Openness is what you should aim for
Whatever it is
If one cannot speak his/her mind
One would feel suppressed, stopped in mid flow
You don’t want to be the cause of someone’s stoppage
So let it be known
And take it
Because truth is stranger than fiction
It has a way to send you soaring
Above what you think you can handle it
And ultimately to the place of fulfillment
That only true haven can create
Where freedom exists
And transparency can occur
Would you rather they tell you
Or withhold it from you?
I think you would choose the latter
Don’t hide it from me
I can take it
Truth, remember?
Haha
Both love's and dream's astray
Pleasantly unaware
Death is making it's merry way
Unto my very own front door
Yet both sadly and unfortunately
To my bemusement and surprise
He never thought to break or lighten
the mood
With a knock , knock joke
He just jumped in both feet 1st
And instantaneously proceeded
to usher me away
Not even did he even stop to think
for a 1 single minute or give me a
second after thought horah
Let alone afford me any time at all
To let me wave or utter a 1 final last
goodbye
Otherwise I imagine poor
L.M.H
God rest his soul in peace
May have taken the time to write
us all here on the Soup
1 final piece of poetry of and in his
own imitable word's and way
So as in order to complete and place
the final piece in his particular puzzle
1 very last final remaining poem
Before both his word's and pen were
forevermore to be retired eternally
The green house is here!
The green house is here!
All of us ran out to watch the green house as it slowly made its way
Down the street about half a block, no make that a quarter of a block in an hour.
At last, it was on its merry way.
Thanks to our Auntie Vi who knew all about it, we had all heard
That you can move an entire house intact, and it was going to be moved on
Saturday, but none of us had ever seen such a sight until today.
By ten a.m. there were 59 people sitting in lawn chairs or blankets, or on the bare
Grass, watching the men with the powerful flatbed trucks move an entire house, a green
House, with lots of windows, and no front door, down our street, it was proud and tall.
Where are they taking her? A strange teenager asked my mother. She did not know, so she
Shrugged her shoulders. This is Midwest Iowa talk for “I don’t know, and don’t ask me again.”
I shrugged too, having no idea at all.
But this was a once in a life time experience,
and I have never forgotten it,
and I suspect I never will.
REALLY !
I was enjoying perusing men’s shirts at my regular thrift store ~ my husband had a million shirts but in my little head you could never have too many. That afternoon I had met up with my long-time buddy and he was searching a few feet away for his own treasures.
Out of the blue this stranger blurted something out to me, I didn’t recognize her and I didn’t understand what she was saying. She repeated something about the shirts I was looking at but it didn’t make sense to me so I casually smiled and went on my merry way.
It took a while to realize that I did know her and that she had made reference to my husband... and that strange tone she took with me was the same as if she had caught ‘my friend and I’ sneaking out of a seedy rent-by-the-hour motel room. What?!
I don’t know if I was more insulted by the insinuation that my husband had a cheating wife or that I didn’t deserve better than being taken out to a thrift store.

How sweet you were
Simple and kind
Warm and generous
Language barrier aside
Your smile spoke volumes
You sent bullies on their merry way
You had big brothers to protect you
Who made sure you were strong
May even have taught you a move or two
I was proud to be your friend
I still have the poem you wrote about your brother Diego
It showed you were a deep soul living in a child’s body
I always knew you were special
And would accomplish great things
You’re probably a doctor now somewhere or
Somehow making a difference in the world
I hope you still exude that contagious child’s laughter and joy
And are accomplishing what you set out to do on earth
You touched my life and I remember you
No less than fifty years later
I will be looking for you one day on the other side

"Soon we'll all be free, to exist courageously.”
Quote ~ by Poet
Somewhere over the horizon the sun will shine
Multicoloured rainbows will cast their magic spell
Dark clouds above will disappear in ample time
Signs that tell all is well, freedom from torrent swell.
Streets will come alive again, shops will buzz again
Children abled to play with their pals in fresh air
There’ll be people singing and dancing in the rain
Glad to be out and about without fear or care.
Nothings ever made to last, all things come to pass
Once again we will all be on our merry way
Living the dream, forgetting nightmares of the past
When dawn wakes to a glorious newly sprung day.
There’ll be sweet reunions of family and friends
Elders won't be alone and confused anymore
Jubilation there'll be when the pandemic ends
And a welcome mat lies before the household door.
Somewhere over the horizon the sun will shine
Streets will come alive again, shops will buzz again
Nothings ever made to last, all things come to pass
There’ll be sweet reunions of family and friends.

The Universe..
In which we live
Is entirely dominated by divine senses..
Our divine senses allows the reality..
In which we live ..
Trough our senses we perceive..
Objectively we have five senses..
Subjectively we have much more..
Magnificent Universe..
Life..
Love and fear
Experience..
To see
To hear..
To touch..
Imagine a Universe..
Without our divine senses
A reality in which is silenced..
In which is never seen
In which is not fragrant
In which is not felt
A reality in which can never be touched..
Close your eyes..
Continue to imagine..
You cannot..
You cannot fandom..
A reality without divine senses..
You would cease to exist..
All lovely creatures in existence..
Every living thing..
Plants..
Animals..
Insects..
Perceive through their own senses
Of which are different..
Different in comparison to humans..
A honeybee buzzing along it's merry way..
Will smell and taste sweet nectar in a flower
How does a honeybee perceive us?
How about any animal?
Or trees and plants?
Their perception of us is quite different..
Quite fascinating it is..
Distortions can apply ..
Determining distortions is impossible..
Because you see..
You always believe..
In what you perceive..
Truth is your very own..
Truth is personal..
No truth is the same..
It feels like I’ve been around too long.
Every tune has become the same old song.
Every plight’s just a fight to no end
cuz there’s no way to win.
And I can’t help but notice as I’m growing old -
I believe less and less of what I’m told.
Cuz the world’s nothing more than
an endless round of spin.
Every voyage I take that’s pushed by sails
is another lap around to no avail.
Cuz I keep on ending up in the place
where I began.
And everything I once thought was marvelous
anymore, well I’m just not so damned impressed.
Cuz where I used to wonder now sadly, I understand.
But I guess it all comes with the territory,
as does the feeling - don’t bother me.
Cuz I’m fine spending time on my own
through the years of gold.
I’ll just let the world go its merry way.
I’m at peace inside at the end of the day.
Cuz that’s just how it is, I suppose…
when you get old.
'Twas the night before Christmas' ole Saint
Nick was ready to go,
He round up the reindeer and said" Ho, Ho, Ho."
Santa and the gang were on their merry way.
And there was a lot of the toys in the sleigh.
Santa stopped at the first house on his list,
He got stuck in the chimney and broke his wrist.
Rudolph and the team were in disarray,
They didn't even know what to do or say.
Santa's magic wouldn't even work that night,
They had to think fast and make things right.
They called dispatch at the north pole,
EMT's came quick, rescuing him their only goal.
They got him out in no time,but he was in a bad way,
Who could fill in for Santa? Maybe his brother Clay?
"Get Jr, He's next in line to take my place."
Said ole Saint Nick. Junior left without trace,
many years ago, how would they find him?
They searched and searched it looked grim.
All of a sudden Junior showed up out of nowhere,
He said, "Save Christmas popped in my mind
and I came here."
The reindeer stared at him, he wore a onesie
with the tooth fairy on it,
Santa had an extra suit in the sleigh, and it fit.
Saint Nicholas retired right then their on sight,
Junior was able to save Christmas that night.

I sat in church listening to the preacher
Without hearing a single word he said
I was thinking about the football scores
And my favorite team instead
As they passed around the collection plate
I put my money in
Wondering just what was the going rate
To have God absolve you of your sin
When it came time to share a sign of peace
I turned to the pretty lady in the red dress
Giving her my most pious smile
Trying real hard to impress
I shook the preacher’s hand at the door
Saying I loved his sermon that day
Anxious to get out of my tie
And to be on my merry way
As I stopped at the traffic light
With the windows down in my new car
A homeless man walked up to me
And started talking real bizarre
He said, “You know there’s nothing special about Sundays
Nothing special about the building they call a church
By simply going through the ritual
You don’t improve what your soul is worth”
“If you would rather be watching football games
You can talk to me some other time when you are free
And twenty dollars in a collection basket
Doesn’t buy your soul out of poverty”
“That lady in the red dress
Is much too young for you
And you have to fix the relationship you are in
Before moving on to someplace new”
The cars were honking from behind me
Because the traffic light was green
I turned around to shout at them
Then turned back and that man was nowhere to be seen
I drove the rest of the way home in a haze
Wondering if I imagined the whole scene
But when I turned on the football game
That man was in a commercial on my screen
“So think about the words I said
And talk to me on your own time
In a location of your choosing
When you are in the right frame of mind”
“I am always available to hear you
And provide guidance along the way
But the outcome of these football games
Is not a thing for which to pray”
So, I gave up church on Sundays
And I donate to other charities instead
And today I am a more religious man
Always conversing with God inside my head
