Life Changing Moment
Good morning.
Life changing moments.
Those Ah-ha moments.
Those epiphany moments that can take us from one path, to another path in life.
Now some of those moments are good and some of them may be bad, but we all have them.
We have those specific things that happen and they can be traumatic experiences or, they can be something that completely blows your mind in a positive way.
We all have them.
We all have those life changing moments and we have the opportunity to have them every single day but because sometimes, we are so wrapped up in the every day stuff,...

Born Free
A baby fell to earth one day
and wondered “why?” and “who?”
The System said “Nah, never mind that
you’ve lots of things to do”
“new cog is here” claimed Politics
“you owe Arrival Tax,
the rate is ninety-nine percent
the rest keep to relax”
“new patient’s here” the Medics cried
“we need you to be ill,
our vaccines will make sure of that,
injecting now … Lie Still!”
“new baby’s here” the Family cooed
“we want you in our game,
so be like us in all you do
to show we’re all the same”
...

SENSITIVITY
he was too quiet
and prone
to tears
and his
daddy
knew what
hard truth
waited
and did
what he could
to toughen
the boy up
and
it wasn't mean
like his mama
said
but a heartfelt
kindness
as he was
only watching
out for the boy
because
a boy
has got to
shake things
off
and make things
work
and hold his own
and keep
whatever is
meek and
mild
and tender
tucked in tight
lest the world
see it
as...

ESSENCE of the SUNDANCER
Herein the forest seeded by my ancestral blood of (the Numa). Sononi',(Shoshone).
Whistles of whispers upon his breath hover amongst these trails...unearth my deepest desires...calling to reawaken my spirit animal...unleashing the mother of my beast and once extinct in my intuitive wisdom.
The Sun Dancer,( A Cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma, Panther.) I endured as a Shoshone. I, as in all my tribes, " WE REMAIN".
I anticipate the sounds of his claws shredding throughout the floor of this forest. Sprinting into a stride and thirsty for a taste of my flesh. Clinching down my...

Raise Your Kids
So, over the past couple of months, I have been investing in my boys, not that I wasn't before, by teaching them some basic life skills.
We did pressure washing the house.
We did the checking of fluids in a car.
We’ve cut grass, we’ve cooked, and we’ve worked on bicycles.
We’ve done little things that give them some basic knowledge on some things they may need as they grow older.
Now, I have seen people comment on how it’s cool that I’m doing it and that it’s awesome and it’s great that you are investing in your kids.
Thank you very much.

The Bottle Dance
I remember early in the season
Sitting in the stadium with my friends
And as the closer approached
I don’t know who was louder
The corps or us screaming in the stands
The local show was a couple of days
Before my high school graduation
Then I recognized the songs
And finally made the connection
My dad used to walk around the house
Singing “If I were a rich man”
Young me didn’t understand the theme
Until SCV made me a bigger fan
So I delved more into the play
The music, the Tradition and the dance
Then...

FATHER AND SON
What does it take to truly be a man in the eyes of a son, for what can you give to him in knowledge and experience and wisdom, that will prepare him for the journey out into the world of the unknown. What can you teach him from your own travels and walks, that will give him alittle more of an better understanding. As to what is life going to be about, as they grow from a baby to a boy and a young man stepping out into adulthood into the world. For will you teach him, how to appreciate and respect and love a woman as you love his mother, will you show him the true value of honor and devotion...

Lady Bug
When she was a little girl
New to the world
Fresh start with an open heart
She felt love from her mother
She knew someone was missing... her father
As years went by and she grew older
Her thoughts began to mature
She knew she was deprived from the love of her dad
It began to create resentment and made her sad
She had a piece of her missing
Just turned eighteen
She would now go out and party
Thinking her void would be filled by thinking more... openly
Next day she wakes and realizes she no longer had her virginity ...

You Are A Beautiful Soul You Have A Voice Use It
Apparently such words are deemed
undermining in the eyes of the social worker, makes you wonder what goes on in the heads of the anti social workers.
Incompetence comes to mind
or down right malignant destroyers of family. Either way, the games of inpolite society we inevitably play

Broken dreams
Drifting away in a cloud of dust
Memories fade of what once was
Laughter and beers in random park
Sitting gazing into the the dark,
Carefree souls unafraid to dream
Never before felt to loved
Touching embracing the cool night breeze
Drifting away in a cloud of smoke
We'd sit and watch as the fire danced
Young, inquisitive no-one could break
Our love was never gonna be replaced
The world was going to be our canvass
The plans the dreams the best intentions
Came crashing down like a child's tantrums
Memories fade of what once was
Laughter and beers in random park
Sitting gazing into the the dark,
Carefree souls unafraid to dream
Never before felt to loved
Touching embracing the cool night breeze
Drifting away in a cloud of smoke
We'd sit and watch as the fire danced
Young, inquisitive no-one could break
Our love was never gonna be replaced
The world was going to be our canvass
The plans the dreams the best intentions
Came crashing down like a child's tantrums
