Very intentionally,
I walk along the driveway.
The short walk is usually
To the mail box or to retreve
The garbage container.
Intentionally, I have changed
my outlook because some
months ago I simply walked
with my head down,
unconcerned about what
might be of interest around me.
Early one morning while looking down,
a black dog suddenly walked up next to me.
I was startled by him, but quickly realized
that he was harmless. I had nothing to fear.
But the encounter completely altered my walk.
Presently, as I walk, I look all around,
out, up, and away. There is so much more
to see, and so much less to be startled by.
At Trump Took A New Look
At Trump took new look which was fresh;
We found an anti-Christ right in the flesh;
Saw horrible face;
Looked out of place;
With minds of mental cases his will mesh.
Jim Horn
Touched by the innocence of beauty
Inspired by the sound of a soft violin
Where light appears from the moon
I am loved as I am by the creator that brought me to be
I am the child like figure dancing in the wind
Among the world that has been able to survive
On a path way to the journey of life
Finding meaning in the new discovered chances
Where the ocean tides meet the sandy shores
I find to my knowing
that I have a lot to live for
The ability to take the road to a new highway across the universe that is meant to last.
From an
eagle eye-
my outlook;
I looked
and looked.
My eyes on
you-
twinkling,
as though
I’d been
hooked on
you.
“What do I
do?”
My world I
thought
you had
ruled.
Me, still
look’n at
you was
unbeknown
to me.
Shiny dark,
long hair;
your eyes'o
seductive,
and body
so inviting;
dressed to
thrill,
like the
erotic dancer,
Mata Hari
of the
World War
One
you be.
Heart shook.
Eyes blinked,
and I
stopped to gaze
as I agnized
you got a
new look.
As phenomenal
as the
pages of an
award-winning
Poetry Book
and a
masterpiece.
Spoken word
Feeling within
A spirit uplifting from inside
Where it all begins
A new journey
A new path
The direction leading to joy and laughter
Positive energy being driven
Guided by inspiration
Determination from the guidance I see
The beginning of what appears so real
When I come to realize
I am here
Right where I am suppose to be
Learning to move on
Starting over and realizing what life means
When I close a chapter in the book
I find myself developing a new
The chance to be me
The place in a atmosphere
Where I am to be free
The choice is mine
The consequence will remain my responsibility
I begin to be brave on my own
To adventure and be found encourage to grow from where I have come from.
It has taken too long to look into the mirror
ten years to really see what lies within
the pictures began to haunt me
A spirit had come over me
to show me the way off the dirt road
leading me up mountains
Where my name echoes
like music
my face shines bright as the sun
Tears well up
drowning all that I once was ashamed of
fill me with a new pride
Yesterday is no more
all that I once for
remains in the ashes
today is a new day
