is humbling

like the light

of Grace

even our shadows

smile as they

bask in the light...

A white layer, 
So enticing and 
Humbling. 

Where you my master, 
My Teacher making
A canvas unpainted, 
Unstained. 

An exploration is in 
Order....

we're not in charge of our

Bones
Pale, chalky
Hating, stalking, gripping
Skull, skeleton, Jack-O-Lantern, candle
Humbling, pleasing, comforting
Orange, hollow
Pumpkin

To know that in spite of all my stumbling
   My clumsy phrasing and other bumbling
So many of you have congratulated me on POTD
   And that's truly humbling in a most special way...

The first sight

   of the first white hair

      in my nostril,


           at first jolting,

              after a while, softly sobering,

                 happily humbling!...

I ain’t no phoney
Just full of bologna (E)
Doing the fifth step
Will keep me Kept
Doing inventory
Kinda like a story
Humbling myself
Feels like nothing else
Asking for help
So I can play the cards Dealt...

Life,

Love,

Freedom,

Multiply,

Deep contemplation,

Encompasses understanding,

Awakens the inner man, humbling his venturing,

A pathway, unhesitatingly travelled, to achieve personal goal's fulfilment....

For if I wash your feel, I'm humbling myself
But if I kiss your feet tell me what is that
For when I walk away from you
I leave with you the truth
I love you for I chose this

Winter casts it's frozen bloom
Humbling to a floret spring

A warm summers moon listens
as the evening birds sing

With a palette of chromatic groom
Fall paints it's earthly shades,

As winter awaits this array
Of colorful fade...

Spinster listen;
Do not tell others,
You are spinster,
Tell them this secret,
“I am a Spin-star
A shooting- star
A wonder-star
A humbling- star
A gaming-star
A tempting-star
A smiling-star
A crowning-star
A caring-star
A home-star"...

A Profound Predator

Predicated then produced and perfected a profound predator,
Who of a naughty, neurotic newspaper was a unique editor; 
We were quaking; 
Identity mistaken; 
Turned out to be a humbling, bumbling, cute and cuddly creditor.

Tears
staining my smile
grin even.
Blinking endlessly
bird's eye view 
with water as my telescope
I stare
words....humbling my soul
"try a new way my dear"
I'll consider

Thank you...a day that I'll treasure.
(sniff)...'they like me, they really like me.'...

May I wash your feet 
Worthy is the Lamb 
Worthy is the Lamb 
Worthy is the Lamb 
your foot is so placed in my hand
 humbling myself for
 Worthy is the lamb
this is so confessed 
That I serve...Worthy is the Lamb

Seedtime 
Sunny, showers  
Sowing, scattering, setting 
Shelter, shoots, hope, haul-in 
Hustling, heart-breaking, humbling  
Happy, handsome

we shouldn't 
    dread failure;
    it's not death. 

 though humbling;
     stings a tad, 
       it teaches 

     great lesson; 
    we learn zilch 
    from success.

The internet has replaced doctors
We look up our symptoms and
order prescriptions online.
choosing to doctor ourself.
How will the doctors make a living?
How will they pay their exorbitant
insurance?
Will they have to start working
at Taco Bell like the rest of us?
A humbling thought....

The image smiling back at me
When the mirror makes me to see
Is someone I don't recognize
Who is that with those baggy eyes?
How could I have changed into this dreadful biddy?

I Am Standing There Staring Back At Me 
As My Skin Starts Crumbling
Simply Dust Nothing More
This Time Worse Than Before
Waiting On Someone To See
I Found The Silence Humbling
Escaping The Hole That I Dug
Casually Swept Under The Rug
When They Ask What Went Wrong
Just Smile And Say She Never Did Belong...
