Nourishing the grains of His fruitful...

Try to knock me out, but I’ll stand tall
Help is on the way...

But that's impossible without being kind

For your foolish, senseless decision-making 

Accidents happen, but you purposely

Lied to me in my face – teary-eyed, terribly shaking

Like a flower I am stuck,
 in a hole, in a rut
And time will dig me deeper still.

and the tease of free knees
about the library
are far too...

they're not speaking to me now, the Muses; 
they're being stubborn, 
witholding information, like beetle-browed accomplices -

smiling...

The declining years,dominated by sulky bone
When she endured herself as a crone
Yearned for gossips,giggles and grin
Chitter chatter and companion conversation about who would win
Asking her a recipe was a justification
To talk,to connect,to bridge the gap...

Like his fathers before him, he was a tiller of the soil.
He loved the old farmstead that was built with sweat and toil.
He farmed with Clydesdale horse and cantankerous mules,
A sickle bladed mower, sulky plows...

On his mind was a folksy sun rise
A glowing medallion, triumphant
Blazing in orange, yellow and red
Seagulls flying over the horizon bed.

Proud and satisfied...

Simple were the things that brought me so much joy,
Growin' up on the farm as a Hoosier country boy!
Barefoot, straw hat, patched overalls and summer tanned,
As free as a soarin' eagle as I roamed that...

Kinetically connected to kindness 
my soul basks sumptuously in the 
sunshine of creation. 

All thoughts of bitterness dissolved 
and washed away down the drainpipe 
of despondency, mingling...

Spreading out my blanket on the grassy hill,
The warm wind makes it dance in my hand.

And my eyes seem to fondle this fair land.

George Floyd
Name of the time
To remove the obnoxious word
"RACE, CASTE"
From the world dictionary of unkind,
From the scripture of beastly mind

Distressful human forgets
The dangerous nCoV-19

Fastened in my arms, I rock our
embrace back and forth til
her ivory lids slump
downward in forfeit.
Her wee nails fold into
