That I might smell its homesome musk
It quivered like the desert fox
Foraging in the lonesome dusk....

     simplicity,
coherent

My frailty shows
From time to time
When I am blind sided 
By a total lack of common sense
That is temprarily irreconsiable 
With what I think is right 
I flutter between fight and flight...

Pride,
behind which we hide
our frailty, precedes
a fall. We must pray about our needs.

Will you love me forever,
with all my frailty and flaws?"

That I would ask with caring,
It would simply be,
'Dear God, grant us all the kindness of time
And the wisdom of its sharing'

Gorgeous females are most definitely my frailty
Could stop anytime
But sex drive is prime
It's even tougher when we get to our eighties!...

my bruised heart displayed--
teaching it to beat slowly
unified with yours, now healed

Yesterday drove through an unsavoury part of town
Thought everyone on the street was a murderer of renown
Funny how we group
All in one big soup
A human frailty we possess, in discrimination we drown...

My life is a colorful scene
Full of thorns and  stones
As a tenant, i dwell in this tent
Waiting for this body to disintegrate
Waiting for this hut to fall in frailty
Upon the earth
Whereon shall my soul stand before The Man....

Mind frailty, zeal dreams, ponderous notions
Ocean tide, rebellious nights, in the jaws of death
Verge of tears, end of a sentence, semicolon
Calamity, piercing fear, call it a night...

dried twigs hold the dragonflies
often carefully

few fallen feathers
form firm foundations for Finch's
fantastic furrow

a leaf on waters
becomes great lifebuoy
for a drowning ant

In your frailty I felt your spirit touch
reaching from a quiet somber heart 
to give it's love 
unrestrained in peaceful gesture
as if to say that nothing mattered more
than having us together 
remembered here this special day
forever....

Trust the path
to lead
have confidence in the direction
find  solace in its rhythm
as you walk
towards discovery
Rest and ponder
draw strength
from human frailty
and its capacity to endure
complete your walk
in faith
made whole....

who needs their shoes mended, 
remembrance Sunday
wept for my soul. hello alleyway cousin, 
I hear the thud of rain,
November morning you bought me down
Tempest and Thunder
I remember the frailty of grief
The day new day is of old

Of the reasons are explanations-
Pockets, frailty, disorder, excuses

Various angles of view
And I miss the bull’s eye
Score me on the fringes anyway

Am borrowed on tomorrow
Leading of life, that’s the worth
Go, in peace, from me-my loss...
