Life's Preparation

At day's break
I seldom see
glimpse's of
life awakening...
In hollow trees
and under leaves
scurrying
about like it's
reckoning...
Resources
some are shared
and others only
few would impart...
But early rise
and early start
are not just for
the young at heart.

Proposal

Kissing underneath
a willow tree
enclosed by the
dangling arms...

Smitten young love
within us all
acting like teenagers
afraid to be found...

Like a Hula skirt
swaying around
whistling breezes
the willow trees arms...

Shaded underneath
this skirted palm
I asked my love
to marry me.

When the tower crumbles down

I have exhausted what
my options are
no loop holes
left unturned...

I have not slept
endless hours
ticking away
at a snails pace...

The phone that rings and rings
and no one seems to be there
chasing me into seclusion

I have awaited
answers
that my prayers have
delivered with
pleading cries...

With time running out
I seek refuge
in my faith
and surrender to it's power
ultimately guiding my way.

When Life Takes A Back Seat

You can wait yourself out
until pride no longer serves
you as a purpose...

As you sit there and age
beyond the gray hairs
and middle section
grown wider...

You'll remember...
You will remember
what it was that was shared

Those laughter moments
that hurt deep inside
the games that were played
when summers heat
was cast aside...

The tears, the fear, the memories
all became a reality
not for one, but for all of us
that changed our lives
unimaginable...

Now look at what remains
all taken by a fate
not all of us have seen

Is it too late?
to get on with our dreams
or has stubborness
and pride claimed the last of thee.

The heaviest weight of all...

I have walked along
the sands of beaches
through the dunes preceding
I have climbed
mountains spiraling high
with ponds at landings
I have carried the weight
of heavy packs and camping gear
upon my back
But what I perceive to be
the longest terrain of all
is sitting and waiting
at night's fall
not knowing if the enemy
will show on my guard...

No Way! She's Back?

Yes it's me...
Where have I been...
I have been where no man has gone before!

Even Captain Kirk can't help
me out here...

I've been working my tail off
with business. I'm sorry, but I did
give you notice about it. This isn't my
usual (I've been busy line) even though
I don't 'give you lines' just the truth!

How's every one's summer going so far?
The heat is killing me in upstate NY.

I hope your trying to stay cool
where ever you are.
Well let me get back into the swing of things
and start updating again.

Stay Cool my friends and I shall return!

Lessons taught

It is said that temperance
is learned through
patience...
It is self tested through
ones will of character
through self discipline
through honesty that lies within

Knowing the outcome
set forth this practice
weighted by pros and cons
measurable by disaster...

When one chooses
to obliterate
to ignore the end results
one finds themselves
face to face
with what they initiated
henceforth unassailable.

Temptation

Temptation
always lurking
at your back door
waiting in disguise

A test of wills
enticing wits
seeking courage
that's undeniable...

Momentarily
absence of mind
temptation slithers in...

Subdivide
into reasoning
the battle just begins.

Distributors needed Limited time offer

Hi Guys!

Is it HOT enough for you?
How are you today?

Well let me share this with you,
I heard that Medley Home And Garden
is looking for a few Distributors.
I don't know if they're filled yet
or not, but if anyone is interested...

That's the company I told you about
a couple of days ago. I shop there a
lot and I am always pleased with their
products. I think they're a very good
company. They're a little off the beaten path,
they do most of their work through mail order.
Customer service is mostly handled
through email contact. But they're
very efficient at answering your questions.
It just keeps the flow going, no extra overhead.
I understand that. Especially these days.
As long as the service is there, I don't care.
And they reward you with Free Gift Cards
just for being a valued customer.
It's not a lot, but these days, every lit bit helps!

So If your looking to make a bit of money,
give it a shot! Become a Distributor
and be your own boss! Set your own hours.
I passed it along to a friend of mine
and she loves it!

Hope this is helpful to anyone needing
a little help...here's their email:

My sense of solitude

A scent of lavender
traces my garden path
calming my senses
as I stroll along
in tact...
With hues of purple
and a wisp of blue
creating ambiance
asunder...
As before me a picture
perfect moment
presents in all
it's glory.

Personal Plateau

Although I sit in silence
I am attuned to the
rhythm of your heart...

It tells me that your
at peace
that your comfortable
with whom you are
that the place
in which you plant your feet
is grounded
certainly by far...

The trials and tribulations
expanded wide and broad
but since subsided
contemplation
is only a betters fraud.

Final Destination

You are my destination
though it took
so many years
travelling the wrong roads...

I thought I'd never get here
for the storms made it bleak
at times to say the least...

The trenches that kept
me hidden
and the false hopes
that led me smitten...

But now at last
my journey's ended
steady as she goes
Intrepid waters
no more storms to weather.

Only the faces change

People come and go
throughout our lives
in droves...
some remain
and some are detained
and others
continue on...

Cycles are inevitable
repeating days gone by
everything remains the same
only the faces change...

Some are there for lessons
some are there to get you through
some are there to get your back
no matter what situation arises...

Only the faces change
throughout our life's cycle
but the path stays the same.

Blog news

Hi everyone!

OMG...it's been so long!
Remember in the beginning
of the year I said let's think positive
and make things happen this year?
Well, that's what I've been doing!

There is so much going on and so little time
left in the course of the day.

I seem to keep apologizing for being away.
I hope you guys held the fort down
while I was gone. Who else can I count on
if not for you guys...your always there for me.

Things are moving at warp speed
and there are times that I can't breathe.
Much less think...but thank you for hanging in.
So let's get this show on the road
and see what we can come up with.
Stay cool! and thank you!

Can't stay down

Legends fall
as trees in a forest...
just because
one might not hear it
doesn't mean that either
had existed

Spoken words
of ageless grace
gathered all
in one single place

Towering high
at a rapid pace
tumbling down
not leaving a trace

Both have risen
back in time
if not the original
replicated has been fine.

Dancing lightly

Dancing under
moonlit skies
performance
undeniable...

Stars that grace
our present state
wishing all the time

Grand ovation
from passers by
speechless voices
the critters cry...

Borrowed are these
shoes of mine
midnight strikes
the princess pride.

Intriguingly mine...

I sat in the crisp air of night
surrounded by the arms
of my sweet knight...

How tender his embrace
enveloped me
looking through me
seemingly...

He nestled his head
ever carefully
against the nape of my neck

If the moon was there
he'd bestow it to me
for his love
is boundless
unconditionally given
to me.

Struggling forces

I have paced the floors
at night and prayed
that light of day
would change the prey...

Everyone looking for
something more to say
battling over who's first
to pay...

Constant rambling
I've heard the trades
ceasing in moments of quiet rage

Yes, I hope and pray
the light of day
will change the forces
this time at may.

Breath Taking Skies

Sunsets spanned
from here to there
across the country
across the sky...

In blends of purple
reddish blush
orange accents
time to hush

Impossible to deny
the lengths of beauty
nature provides

Allowing peace and harmony
to subside
Center stage
ovation pride.

Mutual stand by

I have sensed
the presence
of you standing there
off to the side
the distance set us wide...

My mind in question
your silence
I didn't know why...

Yet I chose
not to turn
and ask you
the reason why...

Contemplation
wasted time...
for when I had chosen
you were no longer mine.

Birth

Within your hand
you hold the key
that takes me to places
never seen...

Only imagined
in distant dreams
a place so wondrous
blooming from seed...

Cultivated from time
I've weaned...
gestation period
once was deemed

And now you've
place your time with me
Shuttered to gleam
you hold the key.

Extravaganza Of Spring!

A new time of year
springs forth into the air
new birth abounds
replenishing last years'


Rotation masquerading
as something new
it's been around for centuries
as I and have you...


Although not acquainted as with age
survival tested has been saved
Fluttering to make an appearance
one by one comes to stage...


Spring forward! Timeless age
of beauty
Reclaim your spot of duty!
Your audience is waiting
Standing ovation only...

The Magic of A Smile

The smile
that captivates
even the smallest child
that lights up
their face
in that moment of
trust and utter
amazement

No questions asked
no expectations
waiting in the wings
just pure
recognition
of a smile...

One that generates
the same response
when reciprocated
once more...

Where does one go...

It is as though
the path becomes narrower
the vision
that once paved your way
has now become
complaisant
for what comes your way

As yet another stepping stone
leading to higher planes
yet to be known...

It is as though
you've always known
this time would come
and you would play the role

Predestined...
surrendering to its' toll.

When left in doubt...

Not a moment too soon
shall pass me by
while waiting
for your presence
along my side

I have dreamt
of many a times
that you never appeared
not for selfish reasons
though you left me dispirit

Reality tells me
you will always be there
My heart senses doubt...
perhaps not related although
reprieved

Not a moment too soon
will time pass me by
while I wait
for your presence
to be by my side.

Well.....

Did everyone enjoy their Valentine's day?
Not the one that is hyped up for commercial
purposes, but the one that you create
with your loved one as recognition
of your love you share everyday?

That could mean an extra serving
of their favorite dinner, or a little note
you left them on the bathroom mirror...
It should be easy, and it should be fun.
And most importantly, it should be because
you 'want to' not because your forced to
celebrate it. If you have a positive attitude
about it all, then all the commercial stuff
does not bother you. In fact, you find
it rather helpful in getting your message
across to your loved one.

Make everyday Valentines' Day!

For my Valentine

Will you be my Valentine
for I have not a box of chocolates
nor do I have roses by the dozen...

Will you be my Valentine
if all I have to offer
is myself without a tie

Will you be my Valentine
if my bicycle will carry two...

I leave for you this Valentine
my promise to be true!

Be true my Valentine

Without you
I am empty
I am lonely
I am lost...

By you entering my life
when you did
how you did
transformed my way
of thoughts
of reason
of living

As though you were always there
the comfort
the familiarity
the trust

These are the vows
I wish to say to you
the words which hold my heart
have you
love you
grow with me
and not apart.

Moving forward

As I try to forget
the memories of past
appearing back unannounced
not necessarily relating to
anything present...

As though in flashback
I recall the faces, the moments,
the feeling of failure
for good memories
are rarely replayed...

Letting go...
condemns us to jury of reason
for our own punishments
are imprisonment enough...

Seek not what you shall find
rather seek out what never existed!
The key that will unlock your future.

Is the snow gone yet?

Have we seen the last of
the snow yet? Are you living in
an area where there is snow?

I enjoy it, but in small doses.
I am getting ready for it to go away.
Perhaps it will be a short winter
as far as snow goes...sorry you guys
that love the skiing..

I'm looking at a mountain of it
outside my window (in my yard)...
and yes, I want it gone...

Hiking is more my cup of tea
at the moment. I do love activities
in the snow, but all the equipment
starts weighing you down..that's when
it starts getting old.

So to all my friends out there who
are having fun in the snow...
enjoy it while you can..

Above us only skies...

When the moon
is out so bright
amongst it's casting light
creatures small
and creatures tall
in reverence I site...

Illumination afar at night
casts it's spells
upon our frights...

To amend any misconceived
ideas brought into sight.

Positive action to positive thinking!

Okay!
Are we ready to start off this New Year
right?
It's not so much about the diets and
starting new routines off right, it's
about being positive!

That's right! for any of you that
need to start being more positive about
all aspects of your life, let's give it a shot!
If you already are, that's fantastic!
Your ahead of most people. It is the most
biggest weight to carry around with you.
Especially if it's other peoples weight.

You just have to acknowledge first that it
exists. Then take one approach to it at a
time. Decide what to let in and what not to.
I am going to take my own advice and
start this regimen. You can not move
forward if your life carrying around a heavy
weight all the time, especially if it is not
even your own! Life is hard enough, try
finding a way to keep it as simple as possible.

Staying positive will be our goal together
this year. Let's try our best, sometimes you
just need a little boost!
