Absolution and Conclusion

Of sins are remission and an absolution;
What we came up with was a conclusion;
We realize, 
God defies;
God's Holy Spirit, we need a transfusion.

I write to spread more than unease. 

As people gather and read that I am unpleased. 

With this world that stutters when they hear my condition. 

I am now free, though not in remission....

My brain's in remission the last few days
Nothing creative has evolved, nothing out of the haze
Something needs oiling
Some pipes need rejoining
Needs to go to the shop to determine my malaise...

Everyone feels lonely at some time in their life

Having brain cancer makes you feel isolated and alone

Even surrounded by people who care

This loneliness...

It last beyond removal or remission

BLANKET COMFORT

so tenderly, he takes the blanket
covered with red dots and grandma love
tucked all around his eight year old frame

my tooth pain in remission while i sleep
he places the soft and tender blanket
over my legs, sharing the warmth

Cancer
Attacks
Normal cells die
Causing mutations
Ever growing
Reproducing.

Chemotherapy
Aggressive treatment
Necessary needles
Chemicals annihilate
Excruciating
Rescue.

Cancer
Anguished pain
Negotiations with God
Courage required
Exhausting
Remission please....

The tidyings of a town
here we are in Croydon
trying to make a stand
Seen so many charges
a 15% council tax rise,
fall from clumsy hands
Our Whitgift centre a shell of a complex!
The whole town has a forgotten ring
Do the dangly dance now
A town in remission
isn't too grand...

Earl King had a heart attack and needs our prayers.
He's a good man and needs to know that people care.
At the moment he's in critical condition.
Let's pray that he'll soon be in remission.
He's given his friends and family quite a fright.
Let's pray that Earl will be all right....

10 years ago today,
I remember our fallen warrior.
In my heart,
You were a soldier.
Rounds of Chemo,
Countless surgeries.
You faced it head on.
Remission, was your peacetime,
But war is never ending.
You may have lost the battle with cancer,
But fought, with everything you had....

Once truth is judged delusion,
  we choose the lesser of two lies

Abandoning that voice unheard,
—stillborn, a baby cries
  
The ideal in dark remission,
  all hope now cast in flames

Making bargains with the Devil,
—as the future writhes in pain

I am working on remission.

I am hoping for permission. 

To seek relief. 

From all this grief. 

Please be gracious. 

For my love is spacious. 

Please allow my hope to enhance. 

And for my condition to no longer advance. 

So that I do not have to sign. 

And relinquish what is left of my mind....

Would I rather let myself be permanently fried?

I wish remission was not the first thing we tried. 

Would I rather be untethered?

And forge a senseless path I have weathered?

Forever changed…

As the memories die with my age. 

Maybe I can leave my hope undone. 

Along with my family- my guilt has won!...

When love grows cold
Puzzled and confused we grieve
Like a malignancy spreads
Deadly deception
Manifests astounds derails
Emotions self-pride riot
Rushing into defense mode

Like chemo exhausts
Worn drained the storm clouds gather
Advice abundant
Blind dates rejected
Remission slowly ensues
Indifference born...

Some people....
Speak in Tongue....
And some speak out
Of the side of their neck'
       ------
Some do it to supplement
Their own sadistic
        Vision's....
     ------
Strait out of the Arm's
      Of Pedition
      ------
But, when it comes' to Sin
Their is no such thing as
     Remission

"Memories are the gifts of children"


Rolling down a grassy slope
Educing screams of pure delight
Making pies composed of mud
Erecting castles in the sand
Magic puddles lure small feet
Bugs of all design examine
Energy without remission
Rainbows arch to tease the eye
Innocence is on display
Noses test the petals essence
Gleeful is the child at play...

Headphones sizes too big
For the little girl in red
Mother smiles as she listens as her child sings

Needle sizes too big
For the little girl in red
Mother swallows tears as she watches as her child winces

Burden sizes too big
For the little girl in red
Mother applaudes as her daughter, her child, bravely bears all

Remission
Victory
A cure...

They are trying to force remission. 

Without my permission. 

Which makes me forget…

My family laughed as they left. 

My family I no longer wish to remember. 

As I am forced to fight my own temper. 

I am over hope!

But I still am not ready to mope. 

I wish to never leave this bed. 

And sleep with dreams where love is left unsaid....

Make my life a phylactery, my God for thee.
To know You as I am known
I want to see Jesus,
Hear his compassion,
Reach out with his hands and
touch the lost children.

Forever changed, eternal life
Hope to overcome life's upside downs
Out of Egypt our savior came
Bringing peace, hope, love and  life through remission of sins.

Keep away Dog Dirt Doris!...

This new passion, I’ve been surprised.

Throughout my life, I’ve been advised. 

That joy, I should never seek. 

That my interests should never peak. 

That pain is the only thing I should never restrict.

That a life of depression does not mean I’m sick. 

That happiness is actually a painful condition. 

That is like a dream that will go into remission....
