Positive

Please remember not everyday be bright
Outcome will affect how we feel within
Sunshining on a stormy day is spectacular 
It like a smile can hide how we truly feel
Thoughts are changed when we change them
Inside our mind like a stormy day sun shines
Vulnerability may show a weakness in me
Encouraged I know it's humanness within

The Heart

Just a little tenderness,
just a little love;
the heart brims with humanness,
gentle as a dove.

just a wish in every heart,
that seems out of reach
'cause we rarely play our part,
the heart yet to bleach.

how awesome the world would be:
heaven right on earth,
where like salmon in the sea,
we swim in life's mirth.

Premium Member Owl Reminisces Her Last Lifetime

Owl reminisces her days of being a human
Looks longingly at mother holding her child close
Remembering the feeling of that warmth
Recalling the love from her children

The moon has brought back her memories
Something lost in the daytime during sleep
She takes another forever after peek through the window
Hoping to regain her humanness in her next lifetime

Hungering Revealed

In the sadness of a fevering  heart,
Disrobed humanness can fade away,
Revealing rich spiritual realities.
The Word of God declaring His clarity,
In the futility of human hungering.

Steadfast love & justice make music,
Releasing fountains of satisfying coolness,
Calming pleading, sating needing.
Call others into the shower of joy,
& share the witness of His care.

Premium Member A Child Leads Us

We were intimidated by stone man
Wondering why he was genuflecting
We reflected on it as only adults can do
Wesley walked over to touch him and say “hi”.

They had an intense conversation, this toddler and this statue.
We were stunned, realizing Wesley saw a human being
Whereas we had seen stone, not recognizing his humanness.
We all walked over then, grateful a child lead us.


Premium Member As Darkness Fell

As darkness fell with suddenness,
the sun slid behind the blood moon.
Sounds of nightlife emerged off tune.
You flaunted your unevenness, 
emboldened by dark drunkenness.
Your twisted mind a fierce monsoon
	as darkness fell.

You came with sulky sullenness 
and brought your foul humor jejune.
You played the part of grisly goon
and had lost all your humanness
	as darkness fell.

Premium Member Lavender Song

How was I to know it would be so beautiful.?
Hypnotic and it did hypnotize.
Exotic and pure tranquility
Such a deliciousness to the senses.

My lips yearned for this melody.
I let it glide up from the depth of my being.
It escaped my lips and instantly it began to 
Hypnotize the entire globe.
My humanness betrayed me. I cried out.
Transfixed by its beauty a smile lightened me.
I floated away on the LAVENDER wings of a butterfly.

Mermaid Dreams

Mermaid Dreams
It started in dreams

Wings giving way to tail
Your scales growing in phases
taking away more of you
We wrapped your knees and ankles with ribbons first
binding away your humanness
losing your kick

You stitched and sewed
a rainbow cocoon
losing hips, ankles, and knees
forcing you to master dolphin undulations

In dreams seamless
Rising and falling each crested wave
Breathing in your ocean
Salting you Mermaid

My Phone

My phone changed me and my world
My phone carries my world
My phone is now my world

Our world is changing because of our phones
Our phones are making our world heartless
Our heartless world is building more phones

I looked around for help and they looked at their phones to capture a memory.
I sought for the taste of "humanness" and only an emoji was available.
I searched for the "Me" inside and found a phone dependent personality who had been changed.

Premium Member We Think We Are Being Neutral

what happens in front of us 
is shadowed in a variety of ways
by our perceptions, and preconceived beliefs

four of us see a truck run into a car
none of us see it exactly the same
we all think we are being neutral

neutrality is a concept we do not grasp 
none of us can write it up completely nonbiased
without feelings, impressions, experience, and prior knowledge

What we report is not devoid of emotions.
We think it is, but it cannot be.
We cannot eliminate our humanness.

My Angel
