Important now

I except death
to be my advantage
when I am unable to live
I'll give you answers

Show me now
that you are capable
to ask questions
from me
and not of me.

Breath Taken Skies

Is there a link
between skies and aging...
are we drawn to the above
like a moth to light?
sunsets to sunrise

Taken for granted
it is always there
the young tend to dismiss it
as it's just another sky...
in search of the perfect picture
the older embrace it

As if knowing
the best one has yet to come
In far away lands
to your own backyard
you'll collect the skies
from dusk to dawn

Be it on camera
or in memory of kind
there is a connection
living eternally comes to mind.

The Aftermath

We will go on everyday
as though nothing has happened.
At least in the forefront...

We will pass our time
with tanning lines,
summer fun and planting

We will discuss the ordeal
amongst ourselves
repeating what has been written

We will mourn our loses
and protect our pride
In ways that you can't even imagine...

But what we won't do...
Is fall apart
and give into your broken conclusion
Although you have tried, as you have before
You will never be successful!

The Boston Marathon

What is going on out there?
Is this madness at random, or is it retaliation?
Will this world end by the hands of man...
Have vigilantes joined up with terrorist?
These were kids for God's sake!
In the sake of taking it into their own hands...
Is this what the nation has created in some people at this point?

Needless people everywhere are dying and for what?
An 8 year old boy dies while holding a sign referring to
stop the hurting of people. That makes you want to scream!
Shame on us!

This is just brutal cruelty!
There is no explanation for this!
There are reports all over the news that these kids
were such good people. It is hard for people who knew them
to fathom this extreme change in character.

Now in question is, did the older brother lead the younger
one into this?
If this is to be true, now we have a young 19 year old, possibly
hurt himself and probably scared to death. Hiding out somewhere
maybe already dead or not. It appears that everyone in this situation
got screwed. First and foremost the victims of the marathon, which there are not enough words to describe that horror put upon them.
And what about the younger brother who went from night to day
in character. Or did he? Was this always a plan in progress? Including the decade of living here-a pretense into the prelude of their sought after plan?
Just viewing all sides for discussion here. I mean, how
does a kid (run over) his own brother with his vehicle to escape, if
not scarcely frightened? Or did it even matter to him? Perhaps this is what his brother left for him.

Without knowing all the facts yet, without saying who's guilty, without
knowing who if anybody else is behind this horror of these two brothers,
how does anyone recover from this?
This isn't the first horror good American people have had to endure
in past and recent years. When does it all stop? Will it ever stop?
Like the 8 year old boy for
his short lived years had already felt...

What kind of future are we leaving for our kids, our brothers and sisters,
Are we leaving a future? We can't even show our kids that we can agree
to disagree. Find common ground. Find solutions that work for everyone, not
just one party or the other. Perfection does not exist.
This is past racism of anyone, that's old news, this is now
just hatred for life. A race to see who is bigger and better.  I mean really!!

We will stand tall no matter what faces us. Most will do it together.
We will never waiver in this, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!

From Within

Loving you
is something I strive
to do better...

Not accounting for
the things that I do,
or the gifts that I give,
or the way that I make you smile,
but examining where
my faults lye...

It is what I could have
said better,
or not said at all...
It is the argument
that turned into war...
It is the silence
that kept us apart for so long...

When the dust has settled
and the eyes are dry
and clarity has taken it's pride

It is in that moment
where I have to try
and make you love me all over.

Mira Hair Oil

Completing the cycle

Everything beginning life
is a struggle...
whether it is breaking free from a shell,
squeezing out of a narrow birth canal,
climbing your way to freedom from
the depths of the sand,
to the beautiful unveiling
of a rose opening it's petals

We all start out with struggle...
trying to claim our way through life
one struggle after another

Developing that barrier that keeps us
protected
that same barrier that keeps us limited
and though we claim our way
to success and happiness
In the end...
we complete the cycle and struggle through.

Unforeseen

I can hear voices all around me
some appear closer than others
not a single light
my eyes can see...

Trying to visualize
by the scents I breathe

Some one's close enough
leaning in toward me
based on my neck hairs
warning me

This chair is hard
no arms to level me
I cowardly turn inwardly
guarding myself sufficiently

"Why am I here?"
My own voice screams!
Blind sighted by what followed me
"We are here to disengage you."
From the pole that impaled you.

Before I knew it
I was coming through
what seemed like years
the darkness grew.

My Angel

I heard your bell ring
in the middle of the night
rest little angel, rest...
I knew you had come a long way
in search for this very night

So proud you are
to have joined the ranks
nestled upon your shoulders
wings of wisdom and golden light...
rest little angel, rest...

You will always be here
right by my side
like training wheels
til I learn to ride...
rest little angel, rest...

And in the days
that lay ahead
the little nudge, the hesitance
within my gaze
I'll know that your working
guiding me along
rest little angel, rest.

Spring has sprung!

Okay, one would never know it in some parts that Spring is here.
Planting ideas are forming for your gardens.
When should I start planting?
I know, I have already bought my seeds and bulbs myself.

Planning ahead of time where you will be planting your Spring choices
will prove to be valuable, as well as saving you time.

It is all apart of the landscaping!
Then you have to think about shade, full shade, partial sun, full sun etc.
Some plants will work well in all areas. Be sure to read up on individual plant needs
when purchasing. Know where you will put them in your landscaping, not just because they look pretty!

Start your planning early enough. You should have already ordered your seeds and bulbs.
Planting can start anywhere between the end of March into the end of April.

Remember to just have Fun with your garden!
Plant plenty of color!
Plant so that you have something blooming all throughout the season.
Come up with fresh new ideas for planting.
Don't be afraid to try something new, an old idea into a new idea.
Planter boxes instead of in the ground. Platform levels instead of a pot on a stand.
Small changes can make beautiful eye catching landscapes.

Have Fun and check back again for updates, ideas sharing and receiving!

Ruffles, Ribbons And Bows

And all those visions embedded
in our minds
as little girls
are the foundation we build our dreams on

The seed is planted early on
growing silently in the years to come
When will be their wedding day
all gleaming eyes aglow

But as this guise rolls around
though not more than a dream
for it's in their minds
how it's meant to be
and only some will ever see

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 souls 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.

Roads Change

I feel that I am the one with the new face and not my blog.
My life has taken on so many changes.
A complete overhaul one might say.

I am spread so thin, thus taking the approach of one step at a time.
But it seems as though I am not getting anywhere.

This was a major stop, getting back to my sanity of my blog.
I see that a lot of you kept it going even without new and updated
content. I have met such awesome people through this blog over time.
The fact that you came back to view the old
and not retrieve your names from my site proves it.

Thank you my friends each and everyone of you. You've been missed!

Welcome To My Journey!!

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.
