Redeemed by lessons

Our emotions carry us,
through our lives,
to see stars
and cloudy skies.

To embrace the world,
with fruitful hopes,
and desires beyond our wildest dreams..

Only to learn our wishes well,
Behold the anticipation..

For expectations ceased the battle,
We struggled to build so high.

Morning Rise

One dew drop,
resting on the petal
of a fragrant rose.

Captured by,
the morning rays,
Subtly displaying
it's beauty.

Standing tall,
alone, but proud,
it waves in the gentle breeze.

Today's thought

Today I read this article in the news about the
women who was held captive by her father for
24 years...
I am astonished! yet not suprised,
think about how often this sort of thing must be going on.
Could be your neighbor's house next door.
I mean really! Like the article said, what the hell is going on out there?
Like most crime, we don't hear about it all.
We're not getting any better, we're getting worst..
Here we are, our country at war, our friends, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives
putting their lives on the line to save our asses, and this is how we repay them.
This is what their standing up for?
This is our country? Isn't it our turn to make them proud?
Let them know they're not putting their lives on the line for nothing.

I realize this is one issue at hand, but when you look at the whole picture,
and all the crime that is going on right here under everyone's noses,
It's scary...it's unthinkable, it's very real!

I write my words in this blog to help heal, to comfort,
to inspire, to give hope, to laugh, to love.
But my words are executed in silence when I read these happenings around the world.
When do we wake up?

Standing Up To The Plate

While in the midst of lighten sparks
above me,
Sounds of thunder crumbling, rolling down to die,
Hoping to see only replicas of me,
I watch through horrified disembodied eyes.

The long barrels cramp my hands,
Dare I not let go..
Nights befall me, days unfold,
but we're stuck here all about us,
Crimson and gold.

Was it our hearts that you broke,
Or our soles that you stole,
When you sent us here to restore,
Our duty stands before.

We pray for the crying,
The young and the old,
Yours, theirs, and mine,
All of us, just want to come home.

Traces

It was Autumn...
as I recall,
The cool brisk breeze that brushed by me saying hello,
How intimate the impression,
it left within me,
as I stood shaking repeatedly back hello.

I was invited into this enchanted world,
Amazed at the height,
the ceiling rose,
painted hues of brilliant blues.
Many pillars stood around tall,
supporting colors of browns and greens,
Colors that represent soldiers,
of nature's common nationality.

The music came from all around,
Birds singing their symphony,
Everyone had their role,
and timed it perfectly...
Acoustics I hadn't known.

I am blessed,
and I am strong,
for being able to share this ground.

Thoughts on a Spring Day....4-19-08

Check this out;
Was it a spring day or a summer day?
That is the weather..
50's versus 82

I know you were all out there,
because I met you on the road!

We're coming out of hibernation
all at once,
we're looking for our new plants,
and our garden tools...
Lowes has better than Walmart,
but you found that out too...

So here's to the great gardens,
I pass along the way,
Sometimes I stop and ask..
Where did you get that tree?
Where as; other times I just drive along,
smile and think,
yeah, not me, can't do that in my yard...

So I'll see you all next week,
what we couldn't find today,
we'll search for again in days...
only to find that one little pot,
with the broken twiggs,
that somebody dropped...

Watching Over Me

As the sea rests..
With the shimmer of the moon lit above,
The stars blink back
as if they know your standing there.

Across my body
the rushing winds blow,
Naked through my suit of armor.

Darkness blankets everything,
And only silence speaks.

Blind Sight

Along the banks of a river run raging...

the ground beneath has swallowed my feet.



If only the storming rain

would stop its crying upon my face

long enough to see

the paths which lay before me.



There is no ease

in pushing forward,

reaching for the hand

I can not see.

My senses lead me forward.
