History, it has always seemed,
at least it always has to me,
Is not something to be forgotten,
For from it much is gleaned.

It strikes me as more sensible,
if I may be allowed to say,
that's history is not...

Benaiah and the bear went outdoors to play.
It was a very cold and rainy day.
They jumped in all the puddles;
Till they were soaked up to their middles.
Josiah looked out the window and saw all the...

Somber is the color of the day
Prisms of lamplight reflected, on darkened window glass
A rainbow of color seeping through a pewter lamp of old
While quietly, I sit, and ponder, my pen in hand
Upon cold shoulders,...

ABIDING IN THE STAGE OF PEARLS

When first we met,
Red paper hearts,
Sailor-Clipped,
Arrows piquing interest.

He saw three O’s
In a bonnie row,
Ripe for the picking.
He chose Friday
And she chose a prince.

Aladdin, a rough diamond
Would shake the snowglobe.
I’m dizzy...

Day`s growing longer, but life`s not too joyous...
Would like be glad — but expect ills, like always:
Upwards, beneath, from the turns anywhere -
Sod`s law is active, who knows it, who cares?

Deathcar, that tramps us with...

When you need a moment to escape
from your modern place of mask normality,
to discover accurately, the unexplored state,
reigning right there within your personality.

In the vortex, we wear a mask to hide ourselves
Covering fear of failure...

~wonderful faces, beautiful places,
All anchored in glory;
Beautiful God Glory Hallehulia…
So tell the story,
Of my Lord the Savior;
In whom I trust and adore
As I
Oh I
I rest in His arms.
We all should rest in His arms
As we...

As puzzling as it may seem,
Here in this life
There are hopes that scream
Beyond the strife,
Through the darkness, a theme
Joy larger-than-life

Puzzling like real life riddles
Pouring out pieces
Heart blazing, fiddles
With light that releases
Brilliant dreams, middles
Doubt and worry...

In downtown, middles turn square, streets bend then end
Out of sight, day begins to climb the mountain sky
With a glow light lost on the fading fog on the horizon
Less incognito, glass panes fill up with...

You can't stop the world from turning
If you feel like jumping off
You can't double up your earnings
If your middles gotten soft

You can dream of the solution
But you must act on it as well
Just make sure...

I'll write of things lamentable like poor shipwrecked loves,
Tempest-tossed by bestial winds behind unfeeling storms;
Ripped apart by the furious middles of swift-gusting winds,
Voyaging to dream-born shores away from boring homes. 

I'll tell of the Fate-shattered...

I like to start each day feeling safe and happy…
usually this leads to a grin 
and the hope that my family and friends are also safe and happy 
as their day is about to begin.

Five Beginnings
“I don’t know what we’re supposed to do next.”
Loveless, we sat down together to our evening meal.
It wasn’t until I collect by bag at the airport that I realised I didn’t love him anymore.

The beginning of another Summer means the end of another Spring

Donning the fields
Where I've never been
Where I've never streaked
Like a reckless charge skating on dandelions,
Unbridled thrill and the promise
That happiness may not get louder than this
The sun and wind
My guests for the day
Taking it in

Heat my heart I hear a hero
this soul soothed, stilled, and silenced
golden, growth, gave me a guru
within, wild, waiting to whisper

IMHO SMH serves no justice
TKO LOL no need...

We all celebrate happy endings,
But we seldom get to know the messy transformations

The messy middles

where the roads are windy and no end is in sight,
Yet we must continue...

Where life seems like quick sand
yet every moment...

Pulses of earth caressing my heart
I feel each grain as if hourglass sand.
Rhythm of life ticking from birth to depart
Cultures softly tinged by the soul of the land.

I hear the call of a presence borne...

Where once we laughed, bent over our middles,
pounding the table, or just smirking with a rueful
“Oh, my God”, sort of way, could I forget the silent beach?

Rustles of sand at my window as you walk...
