To my children, Have you ever pondered this

Ask yourself this everyday.
Why in the world do I think this way?
I think such awful things about me.
And think highly of everyone else I see.
But now let's turn it around to you.
And recognize what you do.
I should be my own favorite best friend.
Today is the day that I shall begin.
To myself today I just want

Premium MemberWrapped in a secret day of thoughts, I pondered

Wrapped in a secret day of thoughts, I pondered,
If I should overturn my soul, to wear it on my face as a garment.
Would it have unfolded with stitch and patch apparent,
Or perhaps its embodiment would be unimaginably elemental?
I envision it otherwise, beyond breaks and wounds,
I close my eyes and there appears a field of spring

Moons Chasity

“The moon’s vision of humanity 
Was something that it once desired  
Tinkle, swoouf, it pondered  
As it’s luminescence gazed at its prodigious oceans  
The defunct dissection of the body fell into silence as it glanced back
Clish, clash, it wavered  
It’s fluorescence gestured odiously 
Enraging it’s radiance with envy 
Woosh, clasps, oceans

Premium MemberPondered Wondered Changed Now There's a New Direction In My Life I Am Now Changed-

As I lie here often I wonder wander
Often in my sleep I toss and tumble wandering

I pondered the direction of my life
I turn away for hurt harms and strife
Repenting of my sins 
Throwing them deep within the ocean

And now I Rise
Covered in Grace so forgiving
And now inside my heart's beating
Now I'm truly, truly living
In earnest

Lord, as we display heartfelt, honest appreciation

Help us realize Your Life brings joy and peace to the test.

While Earth, Satan and sinners remain
we’ll face trials daily in every domain.

Premium MemberPoetry Pondered: For One In the Art Thereof

A Wordsmith’s pen
Is mightier than the sword
For he can turn a tricky word
Into a verbal weapon
And win the day against the hoard
The words of the Bard
It’s not very hard
The turn of a friendly card
The changing of the old guard
The wicked witch is feathered and tarred
The sky above is dark and starred
It’s feeling out loud	
The dancing

While I pondered fragile and tired
While I pondered weak and worn

A Willow Once Pondered



As I lay beneath this willow tree, cresting the banks of a nearby creek.
Its budding branches swaying to natures whispered symphony, with a floral scent on a gentle breeze.
 Lilac, and jasmine oh how they fare so well. 
So soft is the sweet sound of a laughing butterfly as it bounds near

Premium MemberThe Beauty of Life

Under the Iroko tree I sat and pondered
As riotous thoughts held me hostage
Making the thinkable and unthinkable
Engage in brainstorming  scuffle

Under the Iroko tree as I sat and pondered
The gentle breeze caressed my tired skin
Wrestling my heavy eyelids into a deep sleep
And face to face I came with the Creator of the universe

"How are you

deep the void, he uttered
          words thus rarely muttered

Like commode water
Once cherished times
Were flushed from the mind,

Cherished times pooled
Beneath observable wants
Leaving the pacifier of friendship
Resting between the lips of our souls.

A Pondered Moment

thoughts of you dance in my mind
like wind through trees
tossed upward in a breeze
these fragmented memories twirl around
pulled forth from where they once rested
when i tucked them away
so long ago...

a storm as it passes
mingles warm with cold
excitement with fury
fear with anxiety
dark with light
...and then

through all this rain
i can taste the pain
as my emotions bend
like little

Premium MemberI Sat and Pondered

I sat and pondered the things I’d like to forget.
There have been some bad times -
Lost love, both romantic and familial,
betrayals by a few I considered close friends,
and the inevitable hardships of simply living life
including its numerous moments of sheer embarrassment.
I contemplated which of those many examples of life’s trials
I would choose to completely forget.
