Embrace Change

Temperatures

Will rise and fall

Winds will shift

Leaves will drop

Buds will form....

And with every transition

New beginnings will be

Revealed

Reflections....

....In the eye,

Can you see me?

Sunlight drifting

Through the trees

Wafting through

With the breeze

Cooler air

Hint of Fall

I am aware

Birds of a feather....

Light as a feather....WOW....AMAZING!!~~~!!!

A wispy light feather
Combined with many...
....makes for a great landing
On solid ground or...


...Soaring off with a tasty fish!

WOW!!!!!

AMAZING!!!!!~!

Taking Flight

Despite the pain

There must be SOMETHING

SOMETHING to gain....

Tattered

Torn

Taking Flight

Trying to recover

With all of my might

Not free

Don't think it will be

So much pain

What is to gain?

Lonely

Memories

Slide in to the past

Maybe

Even

Washed away

It has to be

Take this pain

from me....

Tranquilized...

...the very slightest whisper
nature's warm gentle breath
fluidly glides over me

sliding into my soul
dulcifying my thoughts
greeting me with gentle tugs

rhythmic swells of the sea
gently rock me
kissing my mind and my heart
with cadenced thoughts of you...

Memories of innocence!
TRANQUILITY

LIGHT...

...fading in
to misty grey

Sky
blue
drifts
night from day

Waves
thunder and roll
crashing
on the Quay
constant pulling...
tugging at the shore

Thoughts of you
fading
into misty grey
wondering what you are doing
on this grey and lonely day

Your words
crashing on my mind
inter-twining
my soul with yours

Constant pulling
tugging....
There...
FOREVER MORE!

Gentle rain drops falling...

...Come dance with me

Real Truth...

...is not spoken
by a derranged brain.

...is not spoken
by one who only thinks of themselves.

...is not found in romance and sexual favors.

,,,is not found in the intermittant emotional high.

Real Truth
is shown by the LIGHT in the EYES
of one who LIVES the truth.

Stop looking for Real
Stop looking for Truth
Where it will NEVER be found.

Real truth presents itself
CONTINUALLY and WITHOUT INTERMISSIONS
of absenteism.
Real Truth is a WAY OF LIFE

You will find the TRUTH
in the LIGHT
You will find the TRUTH even in the dark
because
the LIGHT in the EYES...ALWAYS shines forth.

Ethereal

The feeling I have
When I am with you!

We all Make Decisions....

Everyday
Conscious or not

Some, we are most certain
what the outcome may be
Others are scary
Too murky to see

I chose to get off
of the Rollercoaster ride
Not knowing
Unable to see
What was on the other side

Others told me
It would be better
But I just COULD NOT
See it...Afraid
To let my heart unfetter

So I allowed myself
To be pulverized
Tormented
Up and Down
Up and Down
Until my brain
Was scrambled and
I was driven into the ground

Finally I said
GOD GIVE ME PEACE
Take this pain!

But He said
MAKE A DECISION
What do you want to gain?

Stay where you are?
Enable the pain?
Or jump off that
Ricketty train?

So I jumped
Not seeing the future
Took God with me

I have not been disappointed!!!

Just Sit There...

....Life goes on...
Just sit there
Stay on that ride

Up and down
Swirled around
Just sit there

You still have to
accept the consequences
of JUST SITTING THERE!

You will be dizzy
Contents of your brain awry
All because you just sat there
letting the world go by

What could be any worse
If you got off of that ride?
What consequences could there be?

Stabilization?
Unscrambled brain?
Pulverizing gone?
PEACE?

God gave YOU
The POWER of FREE WILL
The POWER OF FREE CHOICE

USE it!

Why are you afraid
to try?

Making the Choice

Pain and upheaval
Caused by memory of the past
Cast me down
Giving me
A cold wintery blast

3 days
then 4
Time for me
To close THAT door!

So I made the CHOICE
Choice is POWER
given to us from God
It gives us the chance to FlOWER

Choice sets us apart
Choice sets us FREE

So by CHOICE
I took the storm
Took advantage of it's power

I am stronger because of the storm
I am stronger because of the assault
I can make a CHOICE to remove myself
From it's grasp

So I am RUNNING
RUNNING through the dark

I am RUNNING for the light
Evil and Dark
YOU have made me stronger

I will remove myself from you
I HAVE MADE THE CHOICE!!!

Please TELL ME....

What DOES this MEAN?

AB109
AB222
FMLA
PMS
SMP
SMS
AB364
UWC
UNC
MWP

Acronyms have no meaning to me
Only confusion it can cause.
Please just give me WORDS!
Even if they R only "U LV 2 B free"!

Bright and Green
Lush, verdant
Everywhere Seen


Fertilized
Watered
Preserved



The Field is able to GIVE
Flourishing
Nourishing
Giving of it's Wealth




Used

Drought

Neglected



The FIELD begins to wither
Brown
Crusty
Crumbly

Accepting DEATH's Stealth

Terror

Beads of sweat upon my brow
Recoiling in fear
Frank panic now

The hot stench of his wiskied breath
permeates the pitch black night

Pressure
Full body weight
Pinning me down
Blunt force
Grasping my wrists
Dark blue purple seeps under my skin

I bring my knee upward with force
He spews out obcenities foul
Release one hand
His mistake

A fist I throw blindly
Into the dark
Unbelievably
It hits it's mark

He spits and snorts
Spraying on me
Warm stench of
Metallic and Whiskey

Spraying me with blood
He pulverizes me...
Comes to his senses
Before the "end"

Before DEATH
doth make me bend!

I had to make a CHOICE
I had to get OUT
I could not just let life
have it's CLOUT!

I went away
As far as I could go
Yet still the mind
Sends terrorizing dreams
Less and less so

But still there
All the same...
But I made a CHOICE
I got away from his game

Gonna live and be happy
NO ONE will EVER EVER
Hold me in chains!

MAKE THE CHOICE!!!!

The Paradox of CRUNCH

Soft
do nothing

Hard
Crunch

Crunch
Pulverized

Crunch
a tasty snack

Crunch
go my knees
on a ten mile track

Crunch
Hard
6 pack
or even 12

Crunch is a negative
Crunch is a positive

Crunch or do nothing
Hard or Soft
You Choose!

WISPS

WISPS OF CLOUDS

In the sky

TAKE MY SOUL

Make me fly

Fractured

The River was like smooth glass...

Not a ripple

Still

Peaceful

Quietly nourishing

Giving of itself without complaint

Then suddenly

The stillness was Fractured

A Skier

A Boat

Blasting through

Making waves

Sending the peace all askew

Confusion

Pulverizing the shore

Tearing away

even more

True Calm

never did return

Shattered

by someone

not caring that

they had churned!

BLENDING

Stark reality

Old

New

Where in THIS picture

are YOU?

Maybe it is just a BLENDING

OLD with the NEW

Interesting how sometimes

they are really the same.

In reality...I just must be free

of the labels,

synonyms,

Acronyms.

I am me...just let me be!~~~~~~~~

LOOK

Look in to my eyes

What do you see?

A reflection of me?

Maybe

Maybe you will see:

Hope

Love

Peaceful existance

Fielding lifes treasures...

Fielding...Catching...but the Fielder doesnt keep "his" catch...

He tosses it on to someone else...

So share with me

From the field

The peaceful flow

of LOVE!

Categories

Can you categorize me?

Sure you can....

Label me?

Sure, go ahead

Appearance

Behaviors

Reactions...

But...

I am unique

Do you know my heart? Do you know my soul?

Intertwined

Wistful

Hoping

Yearning

Deep, Deep, Deep

YOU cant define...

But maybe you understand

The deep passionate well

Maybe my confidences you'll keep.

Moments

It was only a MOMENT

just a MOMENT in TIME

Beautiful

Flowing

Precious

Cherished FOREVER

White
blinding bright

Golden yellow
then the hues
diffuse

Sinking
into darkness

Blessing the land
with cool

Perfect jewel.

Pleasure in Simple Things

So easy
no demands

take pleasure

in the simple things.

Golden feathery hill sides

Diamond dew

sparkling forever stars
and the moon so new

Peace I find

on the uphill climb

pedaling my bike
along the canal path

warm sourdough bread

organic butter

warm summer sunshine

glowing on my head

Peace I find

happiness there

in the simple things

a life well lived

a life to share

Morning Sky

Faint hues of pink
dawn
on the horizon

Feathery wisps
of clouds
delicately flutter
in the sky


Full moon
silently dips
into the
placid river


Hints of Sunlight
bathe the field
in glistening dew
giving my soul
hope anew



~~~~~~~~~

Scorched...

...by the heat
Scorched by the sun
waiting for my heart
to be allowed some fun

Maybe sitting in the field
and wondering
walking in A field
and wandering

causes more pain and sorrow
allows the loneliness to reside
there must be SOMEONE out there
within whom my soul can hide

Full Moon

Full moon so bright
tugging at my heart tonight

Sitting at
the edge of the field
attempts to comfort
to be my shield

Peace is here
in the dark of the night
cool
quiet
soft breezes
attempt
to make me feel light

Yet still
down deep in my soul
yearning takes it's toll

Giant Oaks
softly flutter
barely a sound
do they utter

Full and bright
the moon
in my world tonight

Trying to light the way
there
at the edge of the field

Where I am still
searching
searching
for my shield
there
at the edge of the field

Fielding Lifes Treasures

No one seems to understand

the yearning in my heart

the expressions wanting

a fresh start

Out in the field

I find peace

solace

for my weary heart

Somewhere

down deep

so deep

in this soul of mine

lies a treasure

waiting to be found

waiting

for the musical sound
