ROOM FOR RENT
Too small,
for two of us.
Wanting to run away,
I was reluctant to stay here.
Our pay checks did not reach far in those days,
I had a place to rest my head.
Needed more rent money,
please rain dollars.
Too small....

Asylum Ghost Haunting Me"When pain, rage and screams buried in the asylum of your heart start to poison your heart slowly and surreptitiously, you become a living ghost." - Anne Winter
Last night I had a dream,
I was a ghost in an asylum,
So many unheard screams,
Intelligence turned into something dumb and numb.
I looked at...

Morning Thoughts Of A CaregiverLord, grant me peace within this day,
make each thought be undefiled.
Let your light only illuminate my way,
so when stress comes I won’t be riled.
Sometimes I forget that I’m not alone,
then I see your hand reaching out to me.
As today’s issues make themselves known,
I’ll instantaneously think of thee.

Eyes opening a grave.

I'm red, in chains
Im Covered ,
In dirt
Unburied Me slowly.

EclipseIn the shadow of an eclipse, where worry takes its flight,
The burden of strife can weigh you down,
Yet in each moment of pain, in the depths of sorrow’s night,
A spark of sunshine glimmers, a whispering sound.
When loss feels like a mountain, an insurmountable wall,
And anguish...

NATURE'S STRESS RELIEF
I wish more people were blessed to experience
nature’s gentle side…
the peace and the tranquility
her mountains, trees…her lakes and oceans provide.
Having spent a lot of time in nature
It is my unmitigated belief…
that nature with her quiet beauty
will always help with stress relief.

Crippling FearsXenophobia is a one-eyed monster,
the fear is so debilitating
that home is all the world one needs.
But when fear of strangers turns to prejudice
against people from other countries,
it's time to analyze the problem at its root.
When do we stop feeding the hate
that's rampant in this world of ours?

There's no such thing as progress
there is ugliness in this world
where there is no need for it
why do we tolerate indifference
injustice, brutality and greed
when there's plenty to go around
it's a game of checkers for the have's
and mere survival for the have-not's

Wake up and hear the silence
How long do you think
you can ride the coattails
of blissful ignorance?
Isn't it flagrantly obvious that
you are skating on thin ice...
and equally evident that
you're living on borrowed time?
How long do you think
you can get away with avoiding
the elephant in the room?
Have I been the unjaded enabler
whilst my silence should have screamed
to you louder than any multitude...

silencioWhen I’m not tapped into a music stream.
I like quiet
no - let’s be exact,
I like silence
ear plugs in - deafening quiet
or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound
That’s relatively new technology
My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things
gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes
like the patterns sound forms in sand.
But if you’re going to...
