Icicles hung from the roof like translucent fingers Clawing towards the ground While behind the eaves, She brushed her plain brown hair Tired gray eyes in the mirror, Discolored around the fringe And gravity pulled at the frown Like it did everything else She was one of many, A soul, a body With all the glitter rubbed...

My heart’s harbour opened deep and wide all friendships peaceful within Love and kindness ran deep inside ‘til resentment and rancour crept in Do you harbour resentment? or do you freely forgive? Forgiveness keeps the sea lanes open and free so all of us can love and live Resentment leads to rancour Rancour runs afoul of the soul When the harbour starts to shut...

The rocks on the sea bed Can be friendly in storms When our sails are bedraggled Or all tattered and torn From our voyage on seas Often left unexplored But there's truth in the water That cannot be ignored In the wind is the Spirit An adventurer's friend So we move in directions To where searching may end There are hazards aplenty As the salty air calls There's that...

Persistency of grudge, grinding you down Animosity causing permanent frown Ill will causing bile to rise Living like that isn't wise Let it all go, float away on the breeze Sail past the conflict with a sense of ease Shed that weight of debilitating rancour Freely move past it, resist setting anchor Make peace, do your best to forgive and forget Release all need...

No anchor for rancour would do us all good. Malice and bitterness should have no place in this world of ours. We need brotherhood - with love and forgiveness – our saving grace. Take your resentments and any ill will. In a container place them air-tight till that container you no more can fill. Pack them in darkness away from the light. No...

Upon those who yield to anger, I should take pity because words they spit are like sandpaper, gritty. A loathsome temper causes them to fume and fret, sometimes churlish ones spew what they will regret. Restraining venom is an idea some are unable to grok. Fury is the key to a door they have no right to unlock, for they seek...

Rancour is a canker That eats us from within Bitterness and anger* Are sure to cause chagrin Malice is a chalice From which we should not drink It will turn us callous With hearts tuned out of sync Hanker not for rancour Let love rule our mind tunes Forgiveness, the anchor In life's wildest typhoons Hope is the strongest rope Sure and steadfast anchor** In dark sin, need not...

If only the archangel Gabriel would visit and with holy host proclaim “Children of Creation, let there be no anchor for rancor in the Dead Sea, nor fuel for cruelty in Bethlehem; let people enjoy temple, steeple, and mosque, live their lives and their loves without mayhem,” perhaps the shredding shrapnel that shocks us into rage at loss would cease, and we could...

Gently flows fond thoughts that be Above the stones of malice From heart to hand tis given free As peace within beauty’s earthly chalice Impeccable in its wildness and jubilee Searching skies of tendered blue Each cloud untouched does softy gleam Mountains, rocks and rills ring true Nature’s gift so flawlessly streams Offering reverent peace as an anchor that renews August 2, 2023 No Anchor for...

Unmet expectations damage the dormant psyche, unkept promises smother the rays of fading hope, unkind words tear the lattice of the mangled mind, life then turns into an urn of fabricated resentment. The sane senses become the fast spreading wild fire, uncontrolled, it boils the blood of intrinsic pride, and as it flares up, it burns the...

Anchors without rancour are rare today. They don’t just report rumors, they dissect some. Men like Brinkley and Huntley, anchors aweigh, anchors without rancour. They steer clear of party-lines with no humdrum. No newshawk floored CBS such a long stay as Walter Cronkite whose candor ranks as plumb. War correspondents, like Murrow kept at bay and cleared away critics like...

No anchor for rancour; release the chain. Your way’s secure with home to gain. Let go the anger That holds you back. Unclench the fist; it’s time to tack. No anchor for rancor; let spirits sail. He’ll carry you far from assail. A bridled tongue can’t flap when trimmed. The night is young; fix eyes on Him. No anchor for rancour; run straight till dawn. Your morning star will point you on. ---------- for the No...

The future has no anchor If your heart is filled with rancour Tame your heart and calm your anger Don't be so cruel like the thunder Bitter tree yields a bitter fruit Unless you change it by the root Bitterness yields to bitterness But a great heart yields to greatness Every heart has a reason...
