Is there freedom
In giving up or giving in?
Is there freedom
In letting life win?
Letting go
Letting everything just…be
All I ever wanted
Was to be free
In giving up or giving in?
Is there freedom
In letting life win?
Letting go
Letting everything just…be
All I ever wanted
Was to be free

Unlock A New Point Of View
Ignorance is bliss amongst the arrogant
Always coloring outside the proper lines
Seems every person has a different slant
Beautiful flowers covered by thorny vines
Never assume in a world painted with lies
It only complicates what seems to be real
Dark clouds cluster along pale blue skies
Peaceful hearts pray for all wounds to heal
Time is a prisoner to orchestrated violence
Watching as love struggles to break through
A writers words guiding lost souls in silence
Always eager to unlock a new point of view

Was tempted to put whipped cream on my oatmeal this morning
Try to eat healthy
Oatmeal 5 days a week
No sugar
Always organic fruit
Pumpkin seeds
For my aging prostate
Unsweetened almond milk
You know the drill
This morning however
Was eying the whipped cream
The low fat stuff with bad chemicals
The Irish Whiskey in my bar
Half a pound of fatty bacon
Undercooked and 3 eggs over easy
Whole Wheat toast and lots of butter
I know what you're thinking
He's a rogue
Rules are for others
Farts loudly in places of worship ...

keeping Self in check
one of the most difficult...
...& most valuable...
lessons I've had to learn in healing
is not letting my own wounds
become someone else's damage
turning the sharp edge of my pain
...away
because emotional injury...
...is something we cannot undo
& apologies don't mend the ache
the scar will always remain
just as mine exist
so too will theirs
& what if...
mine was one strike too many...

Crescendos
allow me to wipe
off the dust love
slide my fingers
over your keys
play you softly
pour light into
your darkness
ease the black
revive the white
bring back to life
the sound of your
soul & heal your
years old scars
create a private
silent symphony
divine harmony
in delicate notes
& elegant tones
from the depths
of despair to the
peaks of pleasure
in a slow crescendo
until you moan in music
off the dust love
slide my fingers
over your keys
play you softly
pour light into
your darkness
ease the black
revive the white
bring back to life
the sound of your
soul & heal your
years old scars
create a private
silent symphony
divine harmony
in delicate notes
& elegant tones
from the depths
of despair to the
peaks of pleasure
in a slow crescendo
until you moan in music

HOW TO STAY MISERABLE
A Psy Professor once said
something I've never forgotten:
"Most people are about
as miserable as they choose to be."
Among all the miserable people
I have known, and there have been many,
there are numerous ways they
attract, keep, and pass misery on.
Here are a few ways you can
choose to be miserable:
* Be sure you try to please everybody,
every day, in every way.
* Be sure to never forgive, even
the slightest wrongs or hurts.
* Be sure to close your mind
to new ideas; old is always better.
* Be sure to stay...

Tears in my eyes
The elders say that we have the ability to manifest, that which you can see and feel, if you can only believe in your faith. 🙏 THAT we all are connected in one way or another.. 🤨 For sure it's strange how we are connected by a force feeding us emotions, from far away in a destination that we've never been before in our lives. For I woke up this morning 😔 with tears in my own eyes not really knowing WHY... Yet I felt it necessary to write these unspoken words, ✍️ down to someone some where some place needs to hear, these words of encouragement and support...

Primum Non Nocere (First, Do No Harm)
Fresh thoughts don't love a haughty place
much as plants prefer fertile dirt
for growth expansion into space
and not a venue of more hurt
like what austerity provides
in old tough love die hard disguise
stabbing like knives at marching ides
or boasting brazen at demise
when austerity strips away
all pretense of love in its hate
with..."go ahead and make my day"...
proving itself as not so great
since greatness must encourage growth,
as known by Hippocratic oath!

Snail Mom?
She loves fiercely and with abandon
No favorites, they’re all adored
Big or small each one has their own special place in her heart
Treading lovingly, collecting shells
Natures fuel and healing power
Earth mother gently nourishing her offspring with such tenderness
Wait!
What?
She said, “I’m a Snail mom”
I said, “Huh?”
🐌

falling behind
she chooses
to go
away, to
a place
a world
in between
us, and
it's not
where i
can follow,
her oceans
have no
shores,
her land
is impassable
to me,
there is
nothing more
i can do,
i sit
and wait
for her
to return.
