Returning Wish
I threw a penny down a wishing well But I didn’t make a wish I was returning a wish I had been holding onto this penny for awhile Thinking that my wish would return back to me But that’s not how life works A wish only has so much life to it I wish it could be eternal I wish it could last...

Returning to the Flock
The grass seems greener on the other side, so we sometimes forget that the Lord will provide. We step away from the safety we receive so we step into danger and then we start to grieve. The wolf hides among us and we naively don't see the snare, until we're caught up in the unknown...

Returning an Order
When something arrives and I learn That it’s going to need a return, It’s annoying to wait For a different date; Getting rid of it is my concern. Yet when circumstance doesn’t allow Me the chance to return it right now, I will stare at the box, Which will seem like it mocks Me for ordering it anyhow. It may sit there for several days, Even...

the old mill reposes in the middle of the peppered autumn trees spruced up under the jurisdiction of golden, yellow, red, maples the scene cannot be captured in a photograph, it is soul searing My throat clogs up and I gasp, full of childhood memories I sit at the edge and watch the revolving spokes of the water wheel the...

The Memory Speaks I leave… But…I come back — again. Again I’ll return through time’s opening doors, …Fleeting through peripheral halls — their floors — so well cleaned and polished to such perfection, I see How they mirror my changing face ~ Traveling Off in the hours ...

Something sits unsaid and never takes form but seems lifelong, a shadow that occupies a space and yet has no shape nor gives a hint of where it's from. It falls across the mind from up ahead or reaches out of somewhere behind, way back where memory hides or comes falling from above out of air or rises up from a pit. It curls up in...

Returning Home
Returning home After decades of wandering over the globe I am back here at the point where I started My home at the top of the lush green mountain Stood along the canopy like a monument of time Through my Mahogany framed windows I see the cloud capped Seven Virgins That shook the aviation history With an unfortunate chilling story When...

Premium Member The Returning Smiles
The Retuning Smiles i see beneath pairs of almond-shaped, green leavess On white fabric, flowers set with four heart-shaped petals, The color of sun-kissed blueberries, Decorating the smocked sundress of the pig-tailed toddler .Hanging over the crook of her mother’s arm, and With her dazzling, black eyes looking all around For some reason to be let down Just as I was...

We’re off to New Haven - hurry, hurry - we’re jammin, crammin, slappin` and slammin` everything into our bags. “Fifteen minutes to take-off,” Michael announced, “the chopper’s waiting.” with hugs all around we separated. Our roommates too, are all catching flights vectoring in from various sites - our motley group will reassemble tonight. Pew rated Yale one of the hardest universities to get into...
