words always matter
wrong ones set the world ablaze
right ones give comfort
so chose your words carefully
otherwise, you may get burned


Premium MemberIntrusive Thoughts

Intruders
Invasive interlopers
Encroaching on the edge
Of thought
Prowlers invading
The sanctity of the soul
Clumsy burglars
Violating the boundaries
Of whispered secrets
Purring cat burglars
Seeking comfort

Premium MemberThe Power of Words

some words wound and some heal
some words seeping down, hearts steal.
some words hit hard, some deeply cut
some meant to praise, but some to insult.

      some stay inert, dead on the lips.
      some cement cracks, but some widen gaps.
      some serve as balm to those who are broken.
      some, to beautiful relationships, new doors open.

some words comfort, some are aimed to assault.
some, hit hard and pierce like a thunderbolt
God, help me utter words that uplift
use right words at the right time, a gift.

       I know words have the power to heal n' hurt
       to bring joy and tears alike in other’s heart.
       Lord anoint my lips with grace to utter words sweet,
       so that, in others, they would open inlets of delight.

Premium MemberScolding the choice

A choice

Without choice

No question arose

For this birthing

In blackness and

Sharp voices 

Scolding the choice..



Regrets

For the choice arose

Imagined alternatives

Without sharpness

Without edges of an

Imagined identity..



Masks worn with

Pride and misgiving

Pain and elation

Comfort and shame

Colored to perfection

The separation game..



Yet in winding down

Appearances of memories

Flash and fade

No answers are found

To questions in time

Only these words

And not only these

Burning this page...

Premium MemberEncouragement

There may be

Encouragement

For the possibility

Of a rising fullness..

Yet fullness is

Already present

And may appear as

Arising of the 

Encouragement...



"Live a little, comfort a little, cheer thyself a little."  As You Like It.


Premium MemberMy Bililligig

If love were my bililligig and thou my comely sorrcondor, I’d shirren courst thine eyes assiligig as mine own gane sizzon begondor. Oh, mine hertzen hurtzen! How could thoust be so frigidid to blangst a sorrow murtzen and forganen mine own brigidid? Days pas in sorrest somburlen, deviling in dark with horrdicap mourn. I succumb to thoughts vorboturten, comfort resangst your sassascorn.

Premium MemberThen there is that star and the cradle

The search

Names all experience:

Discomfort searching for comfort

Poverty searching for more

Death searching for life

Unsweetened searching for sweetening

The not-yet searching for already

And on and on..

Then there is that star and

The cradle...

Premium MemberWORDS THAT GATHER

It doesn’t matter where
It’s not about who
The spotlight
The stage
Theatrical
Words beyond what world sees and hears
Words uncertain
Tomorrow unseen
Words through suggestions
Cushion of no comfort
Amid the storms of doubt and circumstances
Words of wonder and delight
Precision in direct light
Words gather like no other
Statement and appeal
Words strike out for real
No longer concealed
Words surround
They found you
The gathering
Word out

Premium MemberNo Words of Comfort

What can I do to assuage your grief 

How fruitless my words must seem to be 

But still I pray you find some relief 

From the shadow only you can see

A tragedy like this is a sin

It's impossible to understand 

Some day I know you'll meet them again 

But for now I just offer my hand

Premium MemberA LITTLE Christmas SONG

Jesus
a  Christmas
arrival

Beginning & end
 our comfort & friend
bringing  day 
  out of night,
sweet from bitter 
glory out of shame

 turns a pebble
 to a pearl
weakness into strength
brings
Grace to a face

of God with Us

Premium MemberListening Is Better Than Talking

Listening is of such great value
compared with just doing talk
this has been my real experience
makes one stand alone like a rock

Having had a stammer all of life
I have learnt to listen far more
for listening is much easier
as talk is so noisy and such a bore

An active listener is so rewarding
hearing sounds that are so rare
truly magical to listen with intent
ear and hear make quite a pair

Learning to listen is such a gift
taking in all that's been said
this bring such comfort to the speaker
for their words show what's fed

Listening is better than talking
it's so liberating made to fit
so many need a patient listener
giving real time can stop one quit

Premium MemberWords and Actions

Words of advice fall on deaf ears,
Words of wisdom rarely hears the call.
Words of comfort are heard by some,
Words of fear are heard by all.

Acts of violence destroys the soul,
Acts of kindness the only cure.
Acts of peace will live and die,
Acts of war will long endure.

Premium MemberWriter's Despair

I say it doesn’t matter to me…
If they listen to the words I write,
Find comfort in the thoughts,
Remember that there is more to me…
Than just a stanza or a verb

I say it doesn’t matter to me…
Yet when they don’t hear my heart,
When they are far from my hope,
And I can’t even find the words…
There is hurt that quakes, a heart
That breaks

I say it doesn’t matter to me…
If they don’t read what I’ve penned,
Find inspiration in what I’ve said,
Yet there is a place deep within me…
Where my pages are wrinkled 
With the pain of knowing my words…

Aren’t really heard

Premium MemberFlickering Insight

The flicker of light green catches the corner of my eye
From clothing of leaves worn on the trees
With sun shining between the wooded shade
For a moment, I thought a spark of wisdom ignited
To solve life’s problems abound
But, there must be more than one voice
And censorship should not exist
Imagine some high ranking people restricting other’s speech?
Yet it happens in these days!
The wildlife speaks freely, bringing us comfort in songs
Coming from those flickering leaves
Where the breeze moves smoothly along
And I must say, our voice should flow too
Flickering, shining, on every bit of truth
We should never give in to silencing
Leaving us standing like bare trees with nothing to say!
