Watching The Storm Roll In
I sit here on this wide, stone porch, the farms stretch for many miles, even on sunny days you can sit here and drift for a while… but this is not a day like that, the far horizon tells the tale, a billowing of distant gray, the storm is coming, without fail. The first slow pickup of wind comes, scribes rippled patterns in the...

Premium Member the last blackbird
the last blackbird even now, i’m not sure why i walked to the end of the avenue before sitting on the curb. one city bus marquee after another boasted that channel two news is best… until channel seven at six arrived with the next bus. at the end of the avenue blackbirds waited, watching near-empty sidewalks from a drooping wire. it was then i decided...

Premium Member The watched are watching you
The watched pot never boils. The watched clock slows. The stalked knows, to watch the suddenly still ones, that lie moored with anchor bestowed, just out of reach, wanting, staring, blinking, in bated breath, to sneak a furtive peak, deceptive. The watcher's silence and stillness disclose the watcher's deception in plain sight. The little birdie you hope will not notice you when you freeze to...

She was waiting in the plaza a breath of fresh air graceful as could be I sat there in the distance couldn’t take my eyes off her imagining that she might be waiting for a guy like me She slowly sipped her coffee cup I watched her lips their gentle touch And in my head I juggled dozens of scenarios where I would sweep her off her feet As time...

He is Watching
Lay down all your fears, He is watching. When you wipe your tears, He is watching. Through all difficulties, He is watching. When life feels cynical, He is watching. When you are shattered, He is watching. When dreaded in life, He is watching. You are the pillar, Even if all else falter. ...

Premium Member watching the blank page
The blank page laughs and begins to dance She bends over and shakes her booty at me Put your petootsie away, I say, but I am smiling She wants words – adjectives, prepositions, verbs Especially verbs! She says, shaking, laughing, dancing She loves the ing-words the best, she is good at them I watch her sparkling, dazzling personality do a two-step Don’t...

Premium Member watching a blown leaf
A soft breeze blows a leaf It scuttles and scurries across the porch Brown and shriveled, looks a bit like an oak leaf Dead, yet still able to move in the wind I can hear another hearty gale from the west I wait for the leaf’s next performance As she slides across the porch my puppy chases her...

Who's watching over me?
As the sun set, I wander around to find a place to sleep for the night, clear dark skies allow me to see the different lights that follows me It look as though they are the astrology constellations in the sky, but I only can make out Cancer (Y). I don't believe in stars. Hoping this...

Lola's fingers tremble 'round her beads, Her lips move, soundless prayers; While outside, weeds Push through cracked leads— Life finds a way, who cares? I can't grasp their dread of death, This urge...

Premium Member watching a puppy be a puppy
Our puppy never walks He runs, prances, dances, chases his tail His face conveys happiness every second His tongue hangs to his legs when he sleeps He gulps down water as if he has been in the Sahara for two years He does everything fast, and to the utmost With wide, exuberant enthusiasm It is a joy to watch my puppy be...

Premium Member WATCHING A FAMILY GROW
There is nothing quite as beautiful…. (If you’ve ever done it…then you know) than planting a seed in your garden… and being blessed to watch it grow….

There’s nothing quite as beautiful (If you’ve ever done...

Premium Member In the Shadows
In the shadows softly waiting when the sun is at its height, to emerge when all the glory of the day gives way to night, always patient, Jesus watches, when we need no light to guide, when we think our strength sufficient and we want no help besides. Yet with love and understanding, when our independence fades, when our path is plunged in darkness by the...
