How Do I Know I Can Trust YouHow do I know I can trust you—
You who come cloaked in stars and sighs?
Your eyes are night’s deceptive hue,
And love has learned to lie.
You speak in tones the wind might use
To stir the sea to sleep—
But every vow you let me choose
You never meant to keep.
I held your name like silken thread
Between the fingers...

Why breakfast mattersI accidentally burned my breakfast toast.
I gave a thirty minute monologue
on this heinous crime.
To what’s left of the crust,
I stared, then cursed, then laughed
so hard the room shivered
and in the echoes—
Surprise!
I found the voice I choked
for being ‘inappropriate’—
—Time to toast.
I was startled by my cracked laughter,
as the cat groomed herself
indifferently witnessing
my twenties
spent...

What IfWhat if the moon played music composed of others' thoughts and wishes? Would you hum along and carry that tune all day after the moon fades and the sun rises?
What if you could see the wind and know that it carried the hopes and dreams of others? Would you allow it to flow through and...

PuzzledYou ask why I chose you.
I thought you knew!
I chose you like clean air
Because you refreshed my existence
I chose you like the ocean
Because you regulated the climate of my spirit
I chose you like the sun
Because you nourished my heart’s daily routine
I chose you like the soil
Because you filtered the waters of my life that keep...

To My Children And Grandchildren No Matter What Just Say God I Trust YouTrust in God, that's all I will say.
Love on Him and trust Him everyday!
Run to Him whenever things go wrong.
At our Father's side is where we all belong.
He should be the first thought on our mind.
Whenever we're going through a troubled time.
For the sick and the dying too.
Surrender to His will, saying "God I trust...

TRUST AND BELIEVEAll my life i have tried to find
Someone to call my friend.
She would be my ride or die,
Ride with me till the end
For 30 years i admired you,
Envious at the same time.
Never had i imagined
Your the person
I was desperate
to find.
I often think
of the wasted years,
Both with unsurities.
If we knew then,
What we know now.
How different...

A wife lusting...

To My Children John 16 verse 33 Says We will Have ProblemsGod promises to take care of me and you.
He'll give you peace as you pass through.
He doesn't promise to take all problems away.
But He reassures us that we'll be ok.
He says weeping may endure for the night.
But joy can surely come with the morning's light.
Problems will come, but they will not stay.
While it's they're. Deal...

Like A Torn Paper Heart The trust between people
Is like a piece of paper
Once it's torn, it's hard to restore
Even if we can save a marriage
In the end it can't go back
The way it was before....

Trust is key in all relationships. Everyone has secrets. There's a saying, we're only as sick as the secrets we keep.
Sharing the secrets that undermine my mental health, absolutely need to be shared. This means I'll make a choice to be vulnerable and share them.
I must trust that person to keep...

Doe In My YardDoe In My Yard
I glimpsed out my bedroom window looking for nature's signs giving me clues about what today will bring.
A lone doe was nibbling on the southern lawn grass. She slowly raised her head, vulnerably held still for about 10 seconds, and resumed nibbling the grass.
Her movement was graceful and relaxed. She stood...

Has brightened all the darkest parts

To claim my feelings from the rust

I Stop Taking RisksDon't be angry, don't show that long face;
they change whenever they try to cheat,
I stop taking risks and reject this defeat:
distrust could be gone with one embrace!
I stop taking risks regardless of its awful outcome,
waiting is useless hope when it turns into delusion;
how much can be accomplished in the meantime
depend on the right set of...

Revelation 4:5 From the throne came out lightnings and sounds and thundersHe spoke to Atoms in the night.
"Come together and let there be light!
Neutrons and protons "Bond for Me!
Electrons come, make Me the Sea!"
He sprinkled stars into the night.
To fill His children with delight!
He reached into the rich earth sand.
And there created His first child Man.
"Just one child!" He said "Won't do!

Casually Waiting for a CasualtyForgot to wait for it
Fcking got me again
Let my guard way too far down
Didn't even see this one begin
These chemicals got us on lock
With the hardest chains to break thru
It's like I'm walkin in this haze with you
Waiting for the chaos to ensue
All it takes is a tiny little attitude
And the war stews
Explosions all...
