Premium MemberIF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BLESSING

If you’re looking for a blessing today…
or anytime you’re feeling blue…
look into the eyes of your child
or any child
and you will see…
a blessing looking back at you

Premium Memberlooking for the real me

I spend hours a day looking for the real me
contorting and distorting myself, in new directions
feeling pressure from the eyes of my ancestors
my spirit guides cheering me on, to be me, the real me

I slink around furniture, crawl up stairwells, slither into ditches
looking for the real me
my search has brought me close
I find a sliver

Premium MemberLooking for Home

we need adult pants
to confront our dreams demise
before time waves bye  ~
moving to a sunny state 
might turn our sadness around

no more lush yard land
useful outbuildings scattered
old farm house we love
maybe sad byes to willows ~
then hi to palms and beaches

we felt this was home
an old house where we belonged
not the landlord though
so to

Looking at Stars

just looking at the stars
my curiosity reaches its high and
tells me to fly through them

i will enter the interstellar space-
a place between the stars
that will send me love for coming trillions of miles apart

the love which is different
from the one that you get on your planet
where bodies are buried everywhere and ashes in the soil

in a looking-glass that sees both ways

A poem is a mirror.
A ?o??i?.
A yes-I-can with crayons the color of Tachyons,
rushing out of whirl’ds where past-meets-future,
reaching for-words…
yet going back-words for some more.

It makes reflections, like a ripple,
but you’re at zero-point too,
where the puddle tessellates to a past in the future you,
and you reflect it back-words and for-words
’til it reverberates…
right there.
Now.
Here.
Like an invertendo-innuendo that’s

Premium MemberLooking Up

Friends are for life,
Burning bright like stars,
Sun like steady, 
guiding through 
storms of doubt 
and decision. 
 
Darkness deep,
Shimmering distances, 
faint pinpricks
that appear 
deep enough 
to need them. 
 
The childhood friend: 
of memory never fades, 
winter after winter 
rising in the 
same place and burning bright like pole star. 
 
New friends 
cluster like the stars,
seven sisters

Premium Member What Is Friendship POTD

friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me

Shall I peer into my looking glass, my darling?

I stare at the girl through my looking glass.
In her smile, self-deprecation sighs.
Voices in her head whisper chaos,
as she screams internally for attention,
begging any deity above to save her.

Oh dear, doesn't she know?
The looking glass might just crack,
from a world where fight becomes flight.
She enforces principles of modesty in clothing-
but is modesty the only veil

WHEN YOU CAME LOOKING

songer.co/song/zhrrlz76f4svedppeqpsvle1

[Verse 1]
You came by when the world got too loud,
Eyes like rain, voice full of doubt.
I didn’t ask — I just stayed,
Held your silence like it had something to say.
But I was always the place you’d land,
Not the one you’d ever understand.

[Chorus]
And love… real love doesn’t hide,
Doesn’t knock just when it’s cold outside.
I didn’t know

Jesus painted a picture that I alone could see,
no more was I considered a Doubting Thomas.
Despite my many shortcomings He still loved me,
 and had given to me hope, truth, and promise.

At times God has placed me on an uncertain path,
it’s during these times he is testing my faith.
Obedience is the key to avoiding God’s

Yahweh’s Promises, Adonai’s Reality and looking at Jesus

Today, too many Christians have settled for Yahweh’s Promises
Without experiencing the full power of Adonai
The promises of Yahweh are True
The Reality of Adonai is the fulfillment of those Promises

Adonai is the Ruler, Master, and Owner 
He has the final say
As we pray, we surrender our lives to Him!
In his Kingdom, we have everything we need
We

Premium Memberlong deep angry looking gouges on a tree

cat claw marks on a tree
long deep angry looking gouges
a huge animal, possibly a leopard, tiger or lion

I envision this beast sharpening her enormous claws
maybe a velvety black puma with yellow eyes
terrified, my hair stood straight up on end
am I being watched from the shadows?
