Premium Member The Dog
Alone, the dog outrides the flock, warning away the terrors of night. He sees the cheery glow of the shepherds’ fire, murmured talk and quiet laughter float past him softly on the chill autumn breeze. He longs to sit with them beside the light, sharing avidly (tongue lolling, slyly smiling) in their good-natured jokes but that is not his place: He is a dog and no man and his place...

The Prayer of the Outsider
The Prayer of the Outsider (A little old lady whispers all alone in the cold. Looking up at the rain filled sky.) Dear God You brought me to life from nothing To try to do something To share kindness Compassion and a light for those in the dark To follow Then to return home with stories When my bell you ring...

My Lonely Symphonies
My heart plays somber symphonies. It plays them exclusively for me. They are fragile and feminine. Breathtaking and melancholy. They perform songs of tragedy and cry out with sorrow but they are perceived by myself alone. Like an isolated violinist in a vacant theater, they are radiant but heartbreaking. My heart plays somber symphonies. Can’t...

Premium Member The Outsiders
In a world that rushes, we step back, disengaging from the flow to observe, to reflect, often choosing not to engage, but to understand. We, the outsiders, interestingly disinterested, bring a different lens, a quiet strength, contributing in ways unseen, yet profoundly felt. For the world needs us, those who walk alone, to bridge the gaps, to offer new perspectives, to remind the world of the beauty in stepping back....

Can-Do Attitude
It's a question of what you can do. Well, I can work. That's what I can do. Yet, I can't be with people or be friendly. I just don't have it within me. That's why I'm outside. For this, I remain on my hill, on my descent. It's a crescent just for you and me. Just think, it's a fact, and that's just...

The Schock Od An Outsider
New Yorkers, in general, are very notorious for walking way too fast, not moderately: it's seen as an unpleasant remark; tourists keep thinking to themselves, " They're funny! " It's a stereotype they mock, " Do New Yorkers ever rush to Central Park? " An outsider asked a stern policeman, " Why is everybody running? " " Is the President coming?...

The Outsider
Living in an altered state, how did things become this way? Raise your hand if you would like to speak; And keep your butt glued to that seat Many others live this way, but I can’t keep my mind at bay Conforming to the rules they’d speak, like little puppets on a string Passion growing in my feet, the fire...

I was asked to attend a funeral of man that I'd never met... everyone that ever cared about him under one roof crammed into one small room he in turn crammed into a small box a box within a box within a box. As i knelt down and looked into the box, I thought of the things that his eighty year...
