A growing mind, viewing an exciting world from a glance
sparkling costumes of Adulthood so enticing for a dance
hormones gushing through a pipe
feelings undergoing some hype
a young heart in speedy formation, hoping to taste romance....

My neighbor's wife is battling cancer and she needs your prayers.
Please show her that you want her to get better, please show that you care.
Her name is Jane Webb and she's undergoing chemotherapy.
She needs prayers from you and she needs prayers from me....

A transgender person from Lees,
Undergoing the "change" by degrees,
Faced the final decision,
Ere the final incision,
Should she sit or stand up when she pees?

trial
           adversarial, impeachment
     undergoing, participating, pending
arraignment, prosecution, glory, conquest
     conquering, culminating, depicting
                 exultant, decisive
                        triumph

Lilac skies are over our heads, 
Our hope is tighter than a thread, 
But we keep breathing and knowing. 
Our fears might continue growing, 
But love will never stop showing. 
We soon will keep undergoing, 
We must never begin slowing,
Down our minds ideas flowing.
Galaxies wait for us ahead,
Make sure nothing is left unsaid....

The cell is undergoing mitosis.
Spindle fibers pull the chromosomes away
toward the poles of two daughter cells.
A black widow spider with an hourglass on its back
doesn’t seem to scare the porcelain doll at the spinning wheel.
The stationary figure shows no emotion
as the sands of time accumulate at the bottom.
The process will soon start all over again.

Arms mutilated, Maggots devour my flesh
Legs amputated by my own volition 
I am writhing in Indignation, resentment has grown
Here I am, undergoing vivisection 
Screaming for my imperfection 
I have lost all sense of hope 
I am to die here, My blood, I am regurgitating
The Queen has used floral words
King has vomited maggots drenched in pus
Purified Intentions corrupted by toxic slurs...

It was a very difficult for her, as she lay on her bed. 
“You’ll make it through!” her mother always assured her. 
Vomiting, loss of weight and energy weren’t so assuring
for her. Her mother told her she was undergoing a form
of chemotherapy, getting rid of the part that was ailing her body.
A priest always came to her bedside every morning, to pray for her.
Her drug addiction was in God’s hands....

absence of sound
waves moving yet stil
sea is undergoing a turmoil
no signs of storm yet
far yet close
distances seem near
numbness encroaching
absences of sound still no calmness
subtle voices heard 
silences kills me and all
silence is a conversation
being having without a sound
silence is a mystery
that goes unsolved 
silences is a weapon
it pierces me....
its something that ceases to exist........

Hands of Surgeons

Our friend Bob Lynott is undergoing
cancer surgery today at Duke University.

God, hands of surgeons be sure to guide;
Who we trust and on them have relied;
Now is not near;
Our prayers hear;
Give them things needed and not denied.

Jim Horn

This should be sent out to each member of
St. James Episcopal Church, Shallotte, NC.
Hope he will be here singing in choir this
Sunday with his great tenor voice....

I prefer to walk alone,
than with a crowd headed in a direction so fatality wrong.
The entire human global population,
is undergoing a mass mainstream media indoctrination,
save they like me who continue to think freely and clearly.
I prefer to walk alone than with they who surround me.
Free thinkers such as myself are indeed a rarity.
I encounter such people very rarely,
and then we lose touch inevitably.
I walk alone, forever a loner I'll be....

She’s going to be fine. It’s a trifle.
She’ll survive it like many times before.
Only the silence and pain are awful.
It’s not possible for her to ignore

The nagging pangs of soundless loneliness,
The scent of nostalgia and longing, 
This pervading feeling of emptiness,
This impossibility of acting.

Thus, her sorrow looks for a company,
But it sees nothing on the horizon.
So she sets out on a lonely journey,
Undergoing another life lesson…...

our personal failings are held inside
they show themselves when we call upon
them &
when we least expect them to rear their
ugly head---
lucky are those who have people round them
to distract from the suffering
which the self inflicts upon itself
when undergoing the regret of
personal failings,
but ironic is the fact that 
to suffer is to survive &
to survive is to conquer 
all those things which
would have it be otherwise,
even if one mustered them on their own,
alone....
