Premium MemberWhispers of a Lifelong Friend

When shadows lengthen and the day grows still, 
I lean into the quiet, soft and deep, 
Just pulling up the blankets for a sleep.
It feels like resting after years of work, 
Like sitting down when all the chores are done, 
No heavy doubts or fears that try to lurk,
Just watching out the window, the fading sun.
My breathing slows, a simple, steady rhythm, 
And all the noise inside begins to clear, 
I leave the weight of everyday right with them, 
And find a strange, gentle stillness here.
No dramatic exit, no pain to fight or mend,
Just letting go, and letting darkness blend.


Premium MemberJustice in the end

Let’s pray for a bottomless pit
Imagine deep down hell
Where we can toss our toxic friend
Who would bare her heart of evilness 
Who even now I remember 
Making my life misery
Who brought my spirit to an end
I cannot forget, I won’t forgive
But hope he/she tumbles in
One big push but wont mention her/his name 
Let’s pray and let’s push together.

Premium MemberKindness and Love

Kindness and Love
by Kevin Davis, 2024

Kindness is gentle, like sunshine above,
It fills up our hearts with laughter and love.
It lives in a hug, in a smile so wide,
In helping a friend who stands by your side.

It’s there in the sharing of something sweet,
In caring for neighbors you happen to meet.
It sparkles in giggles, it dances in play,
It grows when we give it away every day.

Kindness is magic—it makes spirits rise,
Love is the rainbow that brightens our skies.
Together they shine like the stars up above,
The world becomes brighter with kindness and love.

So open your arms, let your big smile show,
Plant seeds of kindness and watch them grow.
For when we are giving, our hearts feel light—
And kindness and love make the world shine bright!

Premium MemberSalvation

Are you only friendship to me,
Not an enemy, a chosen being?
You have an everlasting pretty;
A smoothie plus twenty,
Who I deem, lovely –

Premium MemberForgiving And Forgetting

Forgiveness and forgetting, are not joined at the hip. We can still love the person, but not forget their lip. I thank God each day, for my many second chances. When He forgave He forgot, with no backward glances. It is comforting to know, that God remembers no more. My previous shortcomings, before opening my heart’s door. It’s quick and easy to say forgive, with hope’s we didn’t sever. A treasured friendship, while forget remains forever.

Premium MemberChicken -- after Harry Nilsson

Me and my chicken 
Won't take a lickin'
Whenever he crows
Everyone knows it's
Me and my chicken.

Me and my chicken
Our hearts are tickin'
Cluckin' and pickin'
Here in the thicken 
We keep on kickin'

Me and my chicken
Rooster and wiccan
You be awestricken
Your heart will quicken
For me and my chicken.

Premium MemberThink On This

Think On This Miracle Man 10/20/2024 Where did our face to face contact go, seems no one has time, we’re all to busy. Technology is subtly stealing our lives, every new gadget puts most in a tizzy. Gone are the days of just visit and chat, and texting interrupts most conversation. I find this to be annoying to the speaker, but it happens to me with no cessation. Phones are now for other than talking, books and print life are joining the past. My car has gadgets I’ll never learn to use, makes me realize my time also has passed.

Premium MemberDog Walking: Song

Man's bestie
Not a poodle
or westie

He looks like a wolf
Not in sheep's clothing
No danger

Only love
Faithful presence
Honest happiness

I can call his name
And in he comes
Boundless

Longing to be known
Happy to have grown
Up with me

He rests and dreams
So do I
We dream together

We walk
I talk
Whatever the weather

He teaches me something
Every day
About faithfulness

Simplicity
Honesty
Love

Even when we have to say
Goodbye
His memory

Will be etched
Onto the tombstone
Of my life

Premium MemberUntil Then By Max Burchett

Until Then
by Max Burchett

Pop song on SoundCloud based on lyrics of this “Until Then” poem
maxburchett/until-then

Through the years and years,
what a life it has been.
Together fighting for
what we believe in.
And we are still standing,
still believing.
Never looking back, we are still on track,
on the road again.
Until then…

Until then,
we are not alone.
Wherever we are goin’
on roads unknown.
In spirit higher and higher,
together we are soaring.
Hand in hand we are going.
Until then…

I will remember you
and in the end I know we will make it through.
As time leads us on from here,
I will remember you.
We are always friends,
on the road again.
Until then…

Premium MemberMy Love

As my body grows 
frail and weak 
I may struggle 
to lift my head 
from a sleep
but don’t cry for me
hold my hand
talk to me 

We had so many 
years together
remember those times 
the times when you smiled

We have had 
many blessings 
in this life
a life with you
a life with those 
we called friends

I have no regrets
I understand 
you may be sad
but our love 
our friendship 
stood the test
we had many 
beautiful years
there will be a time
from your arms
to my father’s arms 
I will go

Remember to keep 
the Lord in your heart
in that way 
we will be
together
he lives in my heart
the Holy Spirit
will guide you now

I love you baby
smiles for you

Your Husband


Edward J Ebbs

Written for a contest, but still from my heart.

Premium MemberWhat You Are to Me, Must You Ask


What you are to me, must you ask? 
     Then let me say and say it well.
In the past, you once wore a mask,   
     a face of what I could not tell.  
Then, like a god, you take to task   
     my proud conceit cloaked in a shell.  
 
Today, intense and raven-haired 
     with wisdom fit for Pallas Athene,  
you are the souls that seldom dared 
     to be the friends who've never been, 
the confidantes with whom is shared 
     my hope of things that's never seen.
 
Now, like the Atlas map and chart,  
     you're a compass to guide my paths
through hopelessness that filled my heart.
     And so, life's trials and downdrafts  
are less severe because you part   
     my sea of pain so I can laugh.

Premium MemberHer Arrival

Her Arrival Miracle Man 6/23/2022 many years ago, she arrived in my path. Armed with a purpose, God had placed her there. Today we continue, in that day’s aftermath. For her we’ve sought, God’s face in prayer. Her years were tender, and job prospects tough. She deserved much more, than life was giving. From this a friendship, was born soon enough. She just sought a chance, to earn a living.

Premium MemberShirlene

Happy Birthday Shirlene You make us smile, sometimes laugh, and even cause some tears to flow. You’re the part we kept from the chaff, and thought of more than you know. You’re a God sent breath of fresh air, that brings life into any room. You’re our focus in daily prayer, and rescue us from occasional gloom. You’ve left fingerprints on our lives, beyond our ability to understand. They’re filed in our memory’s archives, and today your wish is our command. Ernestine & T. 2/18/2022

Premium MemberSentimental Lines For Rose

O, fair heavenly Rose! How I sigh,
     and sigh all the more! to smell your scent
and fresh bouquet, before I soon die
     from a bleak, although unrepentant, 

     death! To never unite is unmeant,
to embrace is inspired work of art: 
     O, sweet Rose! Space and time both torment
me; they so constrain to bid us part,

and forbid our union as twin hearts,
     two souls tangled in love till the end
of eternity—till all depart,
     stars, the sky, and this earth; and transcend.

     Though life's poverty, woes, will not bend,
my despair in this realm will expire,
     once I kiss your dear face, my godsend;
and greet you in my opaline spire!

Premium MemberMissing Our Church Family

Missing Our Church Family Written: by Miracle man On A Snowy December 13 2020 Covid-19 has changed the way we act and feel, unless it’s essential we’re told to just stay home. But nine months of quiet time has lost it’s appeal, this pandemic has bequeathed us a desire to roam. We miss our Church family, and occasional embrace, But where others are unmasked, we opt not to go. For other than essentials, home has become our place, and until thoughts change we won’t join the status quo.
