the lonely road to salvation

but humbling

to walk on the path that Yeshua paved
it was only him that
saved me by grace

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

Nasal Hair

The first sight

   of the first white hair

      in my nostril,


           at first jolting,

              after a while, softly sobering,

                 happily humbling!

Feels like nothing else
Asking for help

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.

Premium Member Kiss Your Feet

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

" a Yearly Turning "

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

Spinsters Should Avoid It

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

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.

Abundance

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.'

Turquoise and Teflon

you convene slow actualization
through unavoidably weakening derision .
your rippling truculence is
ungrudgingly behead by facilitative clearcutness ;
my sleekly violative teflon
randomization of humbling turquoise

Premium Member With Regard To Failure

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

 though humbling;
     stings a tad, 
       it teaches 

     great lesson; 
    we learn zilch 
    from success.

Premium Member What About the Doctors

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.

Premium Member Humbling Mirrors

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?

To Dust

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
