Premium MemberLife Together-Day Trip

Latter life is special. Blessings come when visiting a parent. They are not a burden - those who raised you up, if indeed you had a good one.
My Dad is almost 88 and I am thankful he is still here. He loves his kids to visit, a good meal and is always thankful. I am thankful for him and also my husband who is generous to help me load and unload the car and join in with conversation. It has been 4 ½ years of almost weekly visits.

newspaper business has brought us far


newspaper business has brought us far
to these territories where desert rivers
descend from    huge clouds cultivated
but we live on        twisted lips to build
something for              those coming in
oh you who love                   this place
by the tourist book                 is a man
who loves a woman                         by  
a guidebook of sex positions          now

*Men for shade, come to me*.

Premium MemberA Double Pyramid To Say Good-Bye

Do
not put
me in a
box where I can't
be seen. I will not
hide anymore, I must
be set free to fly. Do not
put me in a box, where I can
not breath. Yes I need fresh air to breath,
friendships suck the air out of the air. No!

No!
life here
for us now,
I need to move
far away from you.
No more hurting for me,
your words hurt. Your silence is
wrong, my life will be very fun
filled with joy and happiness with you
not in it. I am now saying good-bye.

Everywhere
I look, I see you.  You are
perfect.  The same from every
angle, yet you can be many things,
the giver of life, the supplier of all energy.
Life itself follows your pattern, over and
over, round and round.  You are in the 
colorful, fragrant offerings of lovers.  I look
into your shimmering blue and fall in love,
falling inside and down, down, down,
disappearing.  I see you in the sky at night,
and grow wild, and howl, terrorizing a
city.   I take you for a ride and end up
where I started.  Everywhere
I look, I see you.  You are 
perfect.

Premium MemberThe Shepherd's Cross

Darkness      falls
The  world  fades
My shepherd calls
Where light awaits
His  voice  is near
I    will   not   fear
He’ll take me back to pastures green, within His Grace
I shall not lack      for I have seen    His splendid Face
Though  evil roars
It    can’t   devour
His   life   He  gave
To  keep  me  safe
His might endures
My  hope’s  secure
So  here  I  stand
In  Promised Land
Where  I  belong
With my arms raised
I   sing  a   song
To give Him praise

Like a rocket in space

it's 
you:
my life;
each day
dreams of.
Like 
a morn' dew,
without blemish,
just as I wished.
As 
a mint
that freshens,
with no
ceasing.
Each 
day brings it
as a new birth.
Every night,
turns it into a
film for my
dreams.
New wake,
makes it an
excitement.
To
showcase this your
beauty that
shines like a
rocket in
space.

DayShell

I can be, but have never been, iniquitous.

                   Trailing off 
                      in
                 Endless gaze,

     A thousand-mile glare,           
       
                 returned to 
                    sender.

A hundred-thousand-kilowatt smile,

                  in repugnant   
                         desire.

    Frigid Rocky Road 
  and World-Class Chocolate
            companions.

Held,
          suspended 
    abreast,

One-hundred-and-nine-degree 
                         heat.

This rotten,
         vicious,
             and offensive prohibition
             persists.

      One must die 
                  for the next to exist.

      jaw harp
  listen to my voice
it is your voice that I breath through, though
your secrets are whispered but by my arouse
  speak my thought
      o sing me
