Premium Member Self-Portrait with My Shoebill Friend as We Rebrand Spirituality
This time, Janice is wearing a priest collar and I’m the altar. She hisses when I open my Notes app during communion, calls me a heretic for spellchecking my trauma. I tell her my whole personality is based on being misquoted. She says no, babe. It’s based on needing a witness and a warning sign. Then she bites the rim off my coffee cup and whispers the...

Dear Senator, I am asking you to protect Medicaid because
our home care workers would lose their essential care taking jobs and their clients would also lose their necessary services. If you are on Medicaid, you should send your own cards to your Senators. They are more interested in providing unnecessary tax cuts for billionaires who don't really need them instead of protecting the very best interests of lower income...

A Memory We All Become
Life has nothing to do with every chapter The book pages you scan and read The waves on the shore that breaks You both see them and witness It's never ending story everyday Death is synonymous word with passing You may have all the things in life After all what you have experience The things you have will remain as it is When your...

To My Children John 16 verse 33 Says We will Have Problems
God 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...

We Are Here
We are here sorrowfully happy We are here crying and smiling We are Rich only on TV We are Rich only on newspapers. Where are they says the leaders Give them the remnants to eat They deserves a natural glass of wine And something to take as protein. We are here living happily happy With our swollen faces smiling Lest we appear wretched on TV Wearing...

Until We Meet Again My Friend
A friend is like a shining star, That shines both near and far, Even when you acted bizarre, They stay, just as they are. They laughed with you during your bad days, And help you grow in many ways, They guided you through your tears, And they guided you through your fears. They knew all your thoughts and dreams, They cheered you on through...

Premium Member We Together
We together can change the way our moral tendencies do stray. Yet we build walls round our estate and over parapets berate the way that others go to pray. Nation on nation joins the fray some indignation to repay. What harmony we could create; we together. Sweet dreams the children have who play oblivious that they one day will fight a war of unjust hate their fathers...

Premium Member We are just wandering spirits through a world of stone and dream
We are just wandering spirits through a world of stone and dream, where every glance is a film projected on the screen of the mind, and the stones see nothing, they simply are, simple and silent, like eternal witnesses to our ephemeral passage through time. Bless the moment and settle into the stillness of eternity, forgive the shadows of the...

Premium Member All we see is a dance of shadows on the walls of our reality
All we see is a dance of shadows on the walls of our reality, a play of light and darkness embracing at the edge of a dream, where forms blend and colors dissolve into unknown shades, and we seek hidden meanings in the reflections of water, in the mirror of the sky. The entire world seems an illusion woven...

Premium Member Before We Each Headed Home
Before we parted ways at the bus station, we tenderly kissed. Before departing for my journey, I realized I'll be missed. Before we met, we never thought we'd find a love like this....

We Are Writers
We Are Writers No one understands us. Ink to blood. Empty pages. Mind always racing. Thyself obscure. Boundless pen traveler. Melody through smoke. Sober story teller. Dark writer. Candles radiant burn. Mechanical thinker. Obsessive writing disorder. Lonely for a reason. Disconnected through seasons. Type away open fields. Weare writers. Poets on fire....

We Live in Denial
In blackest halls, a phosphorescent light Shines forth from darkest depths, a honey glow. Enraged, ignited, I now blinding bright, A magma burning, pyroclastic flow, Torching golden beams to desolation. Enveloping destruction, ash I leave Until it’s done, my wounded heart’s cremation. Now hushed to ember, my healing reprieve. Returned to dormancy I hear it more, The walls that groan after each...
