The Space Between Hands
The Space Between Hands Always left alone in the corner of the room, Often wondering if something’s missing in the gloom. Head down, tears falling — can’t stop the flow, Sobbing in silence, hoping no one will know. Never reaching the end with someone in stride, Letting go halfway, with no goodbye implied. Then surrender comes, with the whisper, “Go ahead?” But “why?”...

Whispers of Faith and Laughter
In the quiet moments of life's embrace, When shadows linger, leaving a trace, Healing whispers softly in the night, Guided by faith, an endless light. With every wound and scar we bear, Hope arises from whispered prayer. Faith's gentle touch, a soothing balm, Restores our spirit, brings us calm. Laughter dances in our hearts, A spark of joy that never departs. In times of sorrow,...

In Stride
5/6/24 I got to grind All the time In order to rise As it coincides and goes with time An ode that's signed With an open mind Looking at it from both sides Otherwise I'll just nosedive If I fuss and whine When there's still much to find The world hospitable for some, to others it wasn't kind May not notice when your young yet blind When...

Dear Lions, Please keep standing strong in our world with so much wrong. Keep your senses alert to fair and foul, especially when out there on the prowl, for not every foe is going to growl.. Get out there with you're confident stride, don't wallow in hurts and petty pride, a genuine heart can turn any tide....

Learning about you, I just have to decide doing what's right is best with God as my guide... I verily pity your family, especially your bride hope you repented ... since your sins you can never hide.

Premium Member Back In Stride
Everything is greening up Longer days are warming Neighbors have a new pup Honeybees are swarming Violets on the front lawn I'm seeing dandelions, too The winter snow is gone Our street is a zoo … With children playing ball House pets are outside Six pleasant months ‘til fall I’m getting back in stride! Written April 3, 2022...

Her Defiant Stride
Two piercing eyes of periwinkle glance by, And four fierce claw-wielding pawns strut on. Ears set far and smokey gray strands spike high. This twirling tail spirals to the stars like a dizzy swan. Her defiant stride shall change your mind Of all that ridicule you are set to comprehend. May you, for an instant, take a look at a divine, Composite...

You Are But a Stride Away
Heart. Beats slowly. One more step. Just around the corner. The race is almost complete. Stride. Ever shrinking. Time always fleeing. Another mile nearly done. A challenge ahead to overcome. Life. It flies. Final steps ahead. I’m exhausted, but still, I want to begin again....

My Never Failing Love
Love Walking with a sunken pain, I limp every next, for pride. No faith, no belief, not even greed, in my losing stride. Wasted for good, wasted by glory, I seek an emotion. Slapped by fate, robbed by time sensing a premonition. Well, the times shall change, the times shall sail. But the love, for...

Premium Member As I Live Yet I Die Becoming the Land I'Ve Stride
I walk upon the lands there're blue As I stroll I see the life of you The green carpets the limbering trees Covered with big blooming bountiful leaves This world that I walk on is very much so bountiful This world in which God loan us What shall become of us when we die Don't you cry as you and I become...
