Sometimes it can be a good thing to be drawn away from yourself for a while, knowing you can always return to you when you are ready..

Live ~ Love ~ Laugh..

I see that, thank you, so very.

Days all passing by,
Time, life, living, why even try.
Each new day, turning into yesterday.
Same start, same position, with my new thoughts of a new beginning.
Still with all of it turning into yesterday's ending.
Not really thought about, or planned ahead..
Just my living circle, breakfast, drive, dinner and bed.
Dull,,yet ever so new, boring, yet very much alive.
Thirty two years of playing my part, here in this truck,I drive.
Sadness comes,sadness goes. Happiness present, Happiness sleeps.
Laughing thoughts and ideas, a small smile on my face slowly creeps.
Days into nights, weeks into years. Alone with my wondering fears.
Talking on the phone back home, a friends death brings me to tears.
Driving down this highway today, I saw many children in their play.
This passing by, everything, so much love to be seen, in every way.
Family reunions, so many there, me only wishing, I had their name.
Lovers kissing, elderly couples holding hands, its just a shame.
Couples in the morning dew, out playing golf, so much I'd love to do
Passing over a Mountain's River Bridge, looking down at the canoes.
All the back yard swimming pools, as the famliy acts like fools.
Then that hitch-hiker looking so old and tired,in his whinkled face.
As I say a Prayer, asking God to show him His Grace.
The bumpy roads that rattle my teeth, Super Highways so silky smooth
Stop in a truck-stop grab some food, relaxed and thinking a snooze.
Got to keep on going, no time for rest now, still hundred more miles
Maybe tomorrow will be a new start, nah,thats just my bleeding heart

Sometimes it doesn't feel any way than the way it is. Your life is confined and yet there is such an open freedom. I find myself wanting something different than I have. We all do, it doesn't make it feel good when the lonely starts draping over, again. Writing for me, is the place I can go and really let down. I love you responding back, these conversations we engage in...Thank you...for hearing me, my heart and..sharing yours.

How Long Can You Hold Your Breath?

We cloak our intentions
with garments woven from
a world that cares only about self.

Colors of explicit and electric
bending the mind's eye to unrelenting
exposure, call us to walk
around deadened emotionally naked
to attain feelings void of pain.
In a neon sear, tattooed ink
has covered the lesions of
self inflicted scarring.

Where does it end?

We cry out for relief,
for a Savior, a new world order
an immediate fix
for the immediate gratification
we have cultivated in shallow furrows of
over used soil.

Garments of fibers grown
from reconstructed genes,
barely worn,
as techno seclusion
sequestered in open forum
leeches our future, our hope.

How can a rose survive...this?

Dandelion Ball

Fly away fairies
wisps of air.

Wings a flutter
seemingly no care.

Catch them quickly
before they fall.

Summertime snowflakes
the dandelion ball.

Caught In A Down Pour

Implicit azure rains
through droplets catching whispers
beckoned from heaven.

Giggle

Trilling from inside
flowing outward through the smile
where happy exudes.

The Box

In a box, you put my love,
Tissue wrappings, lace.
Trailing strings, by ribbon held,

Stuffed to full, kept safe.
You take it out when you're alone.

No one else to see,
That jumbled, knotted, ribboned trace,
This pink you know as me.

So soon your busy will abound.
Forget me, that you will.

Expected gifts are packed away,
Containing no more thrill.
Hope will always see my heart,

As you will always know,
In that box you placed my love,

As, try the lid, you close.
For hanging on the outside,
This box of knotted strings,

Just a trail, my ribboned pink
Your memory and love things.

You hold me in your arms so tight,
You squeeze me really hard,,
As you turn out our bedroom light.
I'm always in your hand or arm,
Making you feel safe from harm.
You kiss me when I least suspect.
I kiss you back with no regret.
We play together all the time.
See it's me who's talking in this rhyme.
You made-up my name when you first seen sitting there.
You put your arms around me, and called me Teddy Bear.:heart:







All fluffy and soft with material as my hair.
Little button eyes, with a black nose to wear.
I never get hungry, because I'm always feeling stuffed.
You always have me frizzy with my fur so very roughed.
But I love you so, for who you are to me.
Your the one I love to always see,
no matter how old you live to be.:heart:

Endemic...A Season Of Soul

Cold holds a root
drying in the crust,
where life pulses slow
for warmth to green up.

Harsh covering land
pressing hard down.
Impressions of last
remain resistant ground.

Though expected a relief
from sear of sun,
bitter condoning
of the heart undone,

Sown from seeds
planted and rutting.
Sad crystallizes to
stubborn abutting.

How long? Oh, How long,
Do you suppose?
For contention to cease
this forbidding repose?
