Words that Hurt

…
Fill in the blank.
…
Keep writing.
…
Stop crying.
…
Pray.

See.
It worked.

Amen....

Yesterday, I learned His name.

Red

Her crown of glory, laid there at His feet, 
to wash His body with her tears, 
and know what it is to… truly weep. 

“You are free.”...

Blip

This is a short poem. 
Not a long one like the rest. 
(not haiku)
This is about time, 
and saying a lot in a small space.
Updates to follow.
Be quiet... (calm)

Yesterday

We 
that can remember
keep-alive
those that have been forgotten,
in the small room,
the place in our hearts,
where God 
plants the best flowers,
and no tears…
fall....

Masons in arms
Make much matter in a muddle
Masons in arms
Country all dire in alarms
Brothers all in cosy cuddle
People without voice in fuddle
Masons in arms

Longing

Little mermaid on the rock, 
Wishing and wondering, 
What it would be like, 
just to walk?

Little girl in a chair, 
riding around on wheels of air…
Wondering; what it is like… to feel?...

925

They are pure silver, 
and have no idea. 
They are humble and kind, 
pray for each other, 
and welcome strangers.

Yet polished or aged, 
vintage of freshly fired, 
the address is the same.

Whirlwind 

eclipse of emotions
shadow her descent

                      Falling 

like a deflated balloon
against the masons hand

                                    Crushed
Love escapes her callused grasp

Feet

Mine sweat. 
Mine are also cold. 
This is a dilemma. 

I get the chills,
so I put boots on. 
I am warm,
and comfortable. 

Then… sweat.

How does that happen? 
The rest of me is…still,
ice cold....

Go Football!

Hope is undefeated.
Faith is the cheering section
Joy is playing together.
God is everything.
Jesus is Savior, also Our Quarterback.
The Mighty Holy Spirit with us even now. 
We are never alone....

The Cat or the Mouse

Oh no…
Where’s the …? 
The kids are here, 
unexpectedly. 

Why don’t they call?
Give us a little warning. 
We can not party at all, 
they are always checking up, 
and watchful.

How mean....

The Stars in My Life

I look up,
I can not see you for the lights,
of the city.
I know you are still there,
I have faith.
Some things are like that,
there and not there,
but regardless,
hope...
has no boundaries....

Goodbye

I waved as you left the drive. 
I heard your sweet voice… 
ever cheerful.

Hours passed. 
I did the dishes. 
I cleaned up. 
I got ready for bed. 
I received the call. 

I sat down. 
I wanted to die. 

I…...

Grief

God gave me an angel, 
a wife, 
a helpmate.
I had no idea the worth of that gift, 
bestowed upon my unworthy life.

Regret has nothing to do 
with the sister of joy.  
Loss is the little brother, 
of the spoiled....

Waiting

Sitting in the office…
of someone, 
I rather not see. 
To talk about things, 
I rather not say. 
To hear, 
what does not need,
to be said.

I am over 18. 
I can vote, 
I can drive. 

I can leave. 

Good-bye....

Whisper
 
A subtle current,
a fierce expression,
of a gentle feeling, 
wild,
powerful, 
no longer held contained 
by any restraint. 
 
Not weak, as may be expected, 
but the very difference...
between life and death. 

Listen....

Chickens

Are by far my favorite bird. 

They give and take very little. 
They kill the bugs on the property, 

Not by chemical intervention, 
but by simply eating the problem away. 
What more can I say. 

Chickens are my favorite bird....

My Best 
"She is a flower..."

Pink roses, 
not the big ones, 
not the small ones, 
not the buds or full blooms. 
No. 
Not one of them. 

All of them!

Pick them fresh, 
and make a bouquet, 
that I can take to my friend, 
on her special day....
