Trying to REM ember the waking stage of an emotionally tormenting dream
The following account predicated on partial fact and a healthy dose of prevarication with an attendant overactive imagination. Trying to REM ember the waking stage of an emotionally tormenting dream One week later still dog-tired after jarring telephone ordeal (seven days ago from April 30, 2025) with fake government employees, yours truly still emotionally haggard trembling and wretched closely following on the figurative...

Trying to explain the unexplainable But it's so much fun
Have you ever talked with God? At first it might feel very odd. Please move your feelings out the way. And let your heart do the talking today. You're not just talking to the air. The One that created you is there. If you're not sure how or what to do. Let the Bible be the guide for you. Open it up and...

My husband likes chicken fried steak I am not fond of it But I like the potatoes and gravy on top I decided to give the chicken another try It was not for me, so I cut it into sixths for our dogs. They both turned up their noses at it. Is it that they are too well fed Or their taste...

trying mirror
The window glass is a new look — Curtains shy against the pane's ribs. A reflection of me she took By thermal eyes' surface wires shook Where comeback fire, bottomless stood. My face like the glass, Stygian The window glass is a new look — Curtains shy against the pane's ribs. ...

Premium Member Trying to Sneak Away for a Bit of Fun
Loud crazy-sounding hullabaloo in the center of town Carnival? Fiesta? Mobsters? Balloon-shaping clown? We could not wait for our parents to slumber Creeped out of our windows, hid behind piles of lumber Ran down there to see whatever mischief we could The square was empty except for a lone pile of pine wood Our parents’ cameras had shown them what we...

Wind cannot shatter your tree of glass
Wind cannot shatter your tree of glass Your performance of involvement pushes you afar A moon can shine with euphoric light It shines and tries to avoid its dark side But you stand, shifting, alive and in place Your hands steady Shakes buried Somewhere not today. Your breath a sign of angels Your soul not out of place A beauty in your angles And not...

The Dangers of Trying to Be Too Fancy
A bat, quite a nocturnal chap, Tried to fly with a brand-new top hat. He looped and he swirled, Then his hat was unfurled, "Perhaps hats and flight," he said, "don't quite map." ©bfa031025 ...

Must Keep Trying
Behind a mask, Nobody can see, This inner battle, Eating away me. A relentless war, Never to cease, Fighting each day, Determined for peace. Exhausted and emotional, Awaiting the blow, A fierce eruption, Like a volcano. Overcame too much, Can't give in, Empowering more strength, From deep within. No matter what, Laughing or crying, Won't give up, Must keep...

Trying to Heal, but We Can't Heal
Tears fall like rain upon my soul As I search for solace, a place to call whole But like a mirage, it vanishes in air Leaving me shattered, with no one to care I try to heal, but wounds run too deep Memories of joy, now taunt me in sleep Echoes of laughter, now a haunting sigh Reminding me of what I'll...

Trying
Trying really hard to get through. That is what I am trying to do. Trying to know there has to be a way out. Without trying there is nothing there. I miss being married, and knowing I messed up. Love can cure all they say. Why can't I let it go, and know God forgave me. I feel like I need...
