They arrived giggling and giddy, one hundred percent in love. Holding hands, leaning into each other,
Smiling. Young love, nothing like it.
I am teaching GED classes now, something I got roped into.
(GED for those who do not know is the test high school drop outs can take to get a diploma of sorts).
She talked me into it, the boy said. He rolled his eyes.
She smiled shyly, and looked down. He squeezed her hand.
He gave her a little shoulder hug before he released her, and they separated to take their tests.
She was finished first, but glanced over to where he was, and sat quietly.
I walked over to her, handed her a piece of white paper, and whispered, “Draw something for fun.”
I picked up her answer sheet and her test, and went back to my desk to grade it. There were six
Test-takers here on this particular night, a full house, and I had to get started grading.
The girl’s scores were phenomenal, the best I had ever seen and I had been doing this over a year.
I called her over and said to her, “Your scores are amazing. You can take the test tomorrow and fly through it. You will definitely pass.” I whispered this, as some of my students had been taking this test for a year and they were still here, trying to get it right.
The boy’s scores were bleak – thirty percent range across the board. He marched out angry, ahead of her. Her cheeks were pink, she was blinking back tears. I grabbed her hand before she followed him. “Please take the GED,” I said. “You owe it to yourself.” The door shut behind them, and I never saw them again.
~His Love Is Divine~
( The Bell )
Lord
Can really save
His love is divine
With Lord nothing to fear
Life can be so hard
But with him soul safe
With Lord we have all to
Win
Often
Times sorrows come
But he hears prayers
He can mend what's broken
No matter what it is
Though negative emotions can be
Just try keep hearts door always
Open
Always
Keep yourself strong
No matter what happens
Though all sad bad be
I believe Lord hears prayers
God wipes tears away and
He surely loves you always and
Forever

It was a water truck on the side of the road
One of those you see at roadside construction sites.
It happened to be a red one with big black letters that read
WATER
None of this would have mattered at all…had I not just read Dune
had he… not suggested …that I read Dune
I just would never have even seen the truck
It would not have registered
the banter in the car with my adorable children
would have kept me chuckling and barely aware of anything but the road ahead
but he did suggest it…and I did read it
and then…
I shed water for him…lots of water ...in his name
and now here it was ...that truck … a symbol …a sign
from the universe
placed there …obviously just for me!
telling me he was the one!
My heart burst open and my soul flew out the window
Across a field at the next turn was a flock of doves…one brilliant white one stood out from the rest
they dipped and dove and always the brilliant white one was in the center
the core
the heart of the flock...and I...I was lost to my life as I had known it
Swept away as if I and it were nothing more substantial than a shell on the shore longing for and awaiting the sea
It was the Title page...of the next complex and painful chapter
That page had but one word on it
WATER
(I stayed true
but my heart and soul did get washed away
in that chapter
only to return again
with the tides of time)
2016-7-7 Something Seemingly Insignificant and Unexpected Changed My Life - Poetry Contest
I hated all those lessons and rules
Playing sports in the cold and the rain
Exams, tests and essays in schools
l won’t need this stuff in my brain
It’s a waste of my time, it's just lame.
I am leaving school in just one week
No more boredom and tectonic plates
A good job, with some training I seek
Will I miss going to school with my mates
I wonder now what my future awaits
An interview can be a terrifying thing
He said, “Why not a single GCSE?”
“To this role, what do you bring?!”
Five years, I had nothing to please
Seven interviews and now, great unease.
Starting work at eight in the morning
Not what I imagined it would be.
Mucking out sheds, won't be that boring
I look back now, and my errors I see
Will my mates have careers, unlike me?
Now I do the same things every day
I miss school, and my mates, I’m sad
In the cold and the rain, I now dismay
and think of the opportunities that I had
To waste all that time… “was I mad?!”
If only I'd concentrated on school
Had fun, but tried when it mattered
If only I could have followed their rule.
All that knowledge I could have gathered
My dreams and future are they shattered?

Truth is I must just say it
Because I've been feeling frustrated
People and animals tortured and subjugated
Over something "sacred"
Or from humans being dumb while full of nothing but hatred
In a world infatuated with money, sex and oil
Endlessly I toil
Because what I do foils
My success, even when I get the spoils
Been a life of turmoil
So arrogant and disloyal
Yet so proud to call themselves royal
Seeing it from all angles like gargoyle(s)
It's all starting to make my blood boil
Near venomous snakes in a coil
Atop freshly spread soil
Might've happened in your dreams
In reality it's not always what it seems
Of what you saw on T.V. screens
As well as behind the scenes
Yet it also could've gone better than expected
Taking a turn in a different direction
While teaching you a lesson
When you were feeling disrespected
Neglected
And rejected
The outcome may or may not have been effective
Causing zero or a a change in perspective
While doing nada or working towards a peculiar objective
All the while knowing, it's not all truly cemented
Here one minute gone the next second
Have good intentions
Regardless of it not always being accepted
And others showing aggression
Stay sharp and protected
In a place that can be demented
Help was or was not requested
Folks quick to play detective
The culprit did or did not get caught and arrested
A tiny mutt followed her home
She was not allowed to keep it
She was six, and not in charge
Her mother despised dogs.
When she was nine she was allowed Spot.
Spot spent his life chained to a house
Out in the yard during all the seasons
It made her sad, but she had no say.
When Spot died, she was in college.
Nineteen, she felt glad for Spot.
Spot finally got to romp and play
and be a dog in heaven.
At twenty she was married.
She began bringing dogs home.
She brought them home whenever she was sad.
She brought eight dogs home.
All different breeds
chow, husky, beagle, lab, mutt, mutt, mutt, and mutt.
She was trying to make up for Spot.
Never realizing there was nothing she could do.
It was never her choice.
Open sky
The blue lake has numerous
waves Is evolving with.
In the fog frenzy
The hills around
Unclean existence proves;
On this side the green is on the hill
A gentle, sweet, calm, soft
women is standing,
A few green leaves to wear;
Wet by the sound of his infinite joy
A smile of fullness on the soft lips;
Who refreshes the softness of the test
Without wasting
She subtracts the leaves.
And she is again
Occupies the same position.
But listen, friend!
Negative transgression will say--
It's nothing but nudity,
But the positives will say--
"Woman-body and earth-body
Open Meeting ”.
There's nothing left of the past.
For it wasn't meant to last.
I sit here wondering how it all came to an end.
It was for the best, a betrayal that time can only mend.
Nothing lasts forever my dear friend.
No more sorrow, don't think or worry about tomorrow.
The darkness doesn't last forever.
It will get better.
Life is full of obstacles and it's too short to live in fear.
I feel relieved, even if you're not nearby.
Maybe it's for the best, for I refuse to cry.
Letting go of all the pain, enjoying the endless rain.
My destiny is unknown, but I will embrace whatever comes my way.
No matter what others may say.
Starting today, I cherish every single day.
There's a moment of clarity in everyone's path.
Deciding between wrath--
Or bliss,
You are no longer the one, I miss.
Looking out the window at the world, I wonder,
Is there a consciousness that permeates every living cell,
Something that stitches together all life into a vast symphony,
Singing a score written by a solitary omnipotent hand?
Or is it all just a random scattering, discrete forms released
Into a mindless algorithm, biased towards the instinct to survive?
A world where even charity and love are mere selected attributes
To bring social advantage, just clever tricks to win the game of evolution.
What then is art—a sublime melody sung by the human soul,
Or just a construct of the mind, fabricated in the brain's workshop,
An instrument to keep our species occupied, nothing more than an evolutionary remedy
To prevent madness, while we are bound to our biological imperatives?
Yet so much seems superficial in the simple act of survival.
We build libraries, galleries, and concert halls, spaces to house
Evidence that we might be something more.
Is there something inside us that refuses linguistic reduction,
Something of an unearthly essence, pointing toward something deeper?
The heart yearns for a meaning beyond charts and graphs,
In moments when the stars mirror our deepest questions,
And moonlight floods our rooms with ethereal whispers.
Are we merely puppets orchestrated by unseen hands on a cosmic stage,
Or creators of our own stories, weaving magic through our art?
In silence, as the tapestry of night envelops the world,
This quest for understanding leaves traces in the sands of my consciousness,
Where thoughts glimmer like fireflies, each a tiny beacon illuminating the unknown.
The soul swims in the deep, seeking answers among the inner galaxies,
While outside my window, life continues its silent and mysterious dance.
A fatherless generation
153 million or more
Abandoned and forgotten
Desperate and poor
A prisoner to hopelessness
Everyday so full of fear
In this chaotic world they live in
Nothing is ever clear
Could one soul make a difference..
If one could bring love near?
I've seen a thousand pictures
That can't escape my mind
Children without futures,
special needs of every kind
So much pain and suffering
And none of it makes sense
Orphans weary and distressed
In the present tense
So forgive me, my friends
if this sounds intense...
But I'm gonna say this loud
to make it clear
We've got to be doers
we can't disappear
We really need to care
let's remove excuse and fear
You and me are the difference
If we bring love near!
Today precious babies
Are abandoned with HIV or Downs
The world sees them as broken
Unwanted, lost and unfound
I pray there'll rise an advocate
Who refuses to let this be
So I'm gonna say this loud
to make it clear
We've got to be doers
we can't disappear
We really need to care
let's remove excuse and fear
You and me are the difference
if we bring love near!
In another country
That seems so far away
A teenage orphaned princess
Is aging out today
Someone needs to cry out
This sex-trade tragedy is not ok
So will you say this loud
to make it clear
We've got to be doers
we can't disappear
We really need to care
let's remove excuse and fear
You and me are the difference
if we bring love near!
Let's advocate loud, and not disappear
If we really care, we can bring love near!
