Thanksgiving Day loomed for old Tom Turkey

   Averting the feared axe seemed quite murky

      So he made this soulful plea

         I would much prefer that ye

            Enjoyed a feast of spam or beef jerky...

Tom Turkey got lost 'midst the teeming flock,

   Thus, avoiding the dreaded chopping block!

      Hunkering down spared his life,

         Averting the carving knife!

            He now recovers from traumatic shock!...

She couldn't unsee what she saw.
 Frozen in shock, she dropped her jaw
           Quickly averting her eyes;
          Her blood pressure did rise!
  Protester took to the field in the raw.

After years today ,i saw you again..
As ever you seemed: handsome and vain..

Feelings i'd assumed long dead,
Came back to life and rushed ahead..

We saw each other and our eyes met,
A flicker of recognition and then just regret..

Averting my eyes, i walk away again,
Behaving strangers was better than reminiscing old pain..!...

Sometimes in life, 
even with those we love,
we reach dead ends.

I reached mine last night
beside you in a rage,
under the leaf of a book,
masking lust with 
averting concentration. 

I have learned to turn the 
other direction in times of
disappointments, 
instead of staring the end
dead in the eye to face
the inevitable floods....

You will see them
In the malls
Once proud
Vibrant
Semi-predatory
Creatures
Idling
Semi-lurking
Outside
Ladies dressing rooms
Lingering
Near
Ladies bath rooms
Scanning
Unfamiliar horizons
Seeking out their prey
Short grey haired
Quick
In a slyly agile way
Evaders
Of a known hunter
Foragers
Averting the gaze
Of those
Once proud
Vibrant
Semi-predatory
Creatures
Left holding
Their bags.

dwellings of myriad ragtag! 
over the fluid moors I salute you
not hoping to see you again
till treasure of divine tings and syllables

greets the new dawn of calming noise
in shadowy slumber we remain
vaporizing as trees fall down
endlessly and expressly

averting a salvation

down the spiral of empty skulls
anarchist moods and petty pains
man is a silly thing made of flesh
not giving a damn in this mess...

Facing Uncertainty
Written: by Miracle Man
3/15/2020 

With all the uncertainty the world is facing,
we’re deep into panic mode or so it appears.
Our hope is in Jesus the one I’m embracing,
He is the only one who can calm all our fears.

By trusting in the living God with all my heart,
I'm assured that He will always direct my path.
Sometimes my battery merely needs a jump start,
to keep me in His will and averting His wrath.
