Trekking under the 
Sun, toiling for my money
She awaits to spend....

toiling on and sleepless
a workhorse in the dark...

Focused, brows furrowed
Working, toiling, laboring
Then, my child awakes....

 Aim for what is best
 keep on toiling day and night

Branches' display of grandeur

Unseen toiling roots!

Poverty
Hateful, fearful
Struggling, toiling, grinding 
Office, home, work, library, 
Reading, writing, grinding
Cautious, ambitious,
Success...

My friends are locked up in their dungeon cells
toiling on tasks the teacher compels.
I'd rather use my time to run and play. 
A Pokemon did my homework today....

Bluebird nesting box,
built with love. Toils to survive
cold spring nights, unforgiving.

Toiling, foraging
Worms, insects make a nice meal
Insatiable mouths...

Walk, don't run
for running may cause you to stumble 
Life is fun 
but sometimes, life is also a gamble 
Crawl, don't slide 
it's the toiling that gives you pride...

Dig through earth; use that spade
Don't let any animals invade!

Go through sun; get some rain
Toiling it is not in vain!

Praise God for what He can do
And you created something new!...

Web wet with dew sparkles in morning light
The spider toiling all night
Hoping for a banquet


Working all night to support family
Caught up in a web of debt
Hopes for a miracle

Wisdom's tree could never grow

Unless 

It is constantly irrigated 

By

The tears of suffering 

And

The sweat of toiling!

Body exposed and bare, sharp pins causing much sweat
then cared for and tended, the bath is warm and wet
comfort acting so surprising
toiling then giving an uprising
a world where negative and positive sing a duet...

Oh but to rest this mad toiling mind!
Sleep? Nay, to sleep perchance to dream
Dreams. Ay, there lay the problem
How, then, to find solace
Can it be achieved... 
true peace of mind? 
Not in life
but in
death...

Behold we toiled
Soiling our skins
expending our strength
Breaking our bones
Sweating like covers of hot pots
Toiling, soiling, expending,breaking and sweating
Yet all was vanity and yet would be
Where God toils not with us...

the cats rise, arch, eat, lick,
then slink off seeking sun-
toiling is not in their ken. 
                
                    ~@~

the dog also rises; stretches;
scampers comically to your side
and farts...first smile of the day!...

My Molly Magpie endears to baked delights
Toiling in the afternoon, proving through the night
   Darkness raised the finest flour with courage
   Baked alive transformed, the test of scourge
Transfixed all mollified await the finest bite...

She's a kind-hearted woman who devoted herself in giving 
She would give what she had even though she was toiling 
She's a golden soul that did not know how to be greedy 
She would give her own food even though she was hungry

maturing, toiling, enduring
exhaustion, thirst

Human Nature

souls take shape
live for peace or
discord
seek life’s answers
to the why and who
created
beings
of all kinds
to live
in sunlight
and shadow
toiling and toying
with the nature of drives
needs
which make them human
