Premium Member COUNTING SHEEP
COUNTING SHEEP Mike the mouse tossed and turned in his bed with visions of furry sheep in his head but instead of sweet dreams he heard their loud screams as they chewed on his favorite bread. So if you can’t sleep, take a cue from Mike, his sheep, and all the ewes. Just laugh and don’t fret, You'll find no regret, For dreams can be...

Blood and water
I used to think blood meant forever, That family would never hurt you. “Blood’s thicker than water,” right? But I take the water— Wash away the blood, Remove the red-soaked stains from my life. Blood thicker than water? Maybe in another life. Family— A word that holds little meaning, A word they never earned. They should have been my safe space, Yet now there’s just an empty...

Premium Member My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me John 10:27
Train up a child in the way that (she) should go and when (she) is old she shall not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 This Bible verse uses the first person singular masculine pronoun of he and not she; however, since this is my own personal journal entry, I choose to use the first person singular...

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...

Fumbling Sheep
I'm a really hungry wolf One that’s never satiated. Your heart isn't enough I need your whole arm off I'm a truly gentle wolf, Feeding on your bounty. Maybe flesh is all I need Not the tears you cry with doubt What a lucky sheep you are, Well-fed, with plenty of wool Yet your eyes are full of fear, Fumbling blindly in the dark. "I mean no...

For Every Sheep in the Flock
Grant me sunrise, cruel warden Would you deny me that which makes us human? What violent hatred grips your heart To demean and dehumanize so freely and purely How is it that you dream, violent warden To so easily reveal your true intention But sing it so cruelly under the guise of love? Do we see the sky the same? Sing unto me,...

Poisoned sheep
They claimed this world, Its not what it seems to be. So it started to unravel, bursting at the seams. So I lied in a wake. Unable to slip away. So I'm begging you now go back to sleep. counting your stars while they poison your sheep. Once the wave is set it's doomed to repeat. Thats where they linger hidden within your dreams. Just waiting for...
