Lost with a GPS
We are all directionally challenged
We hold onto a GPS
The settings are different from others however
There are no arrows or lines
Only words
No Left or Right
Up or Down
Behind or Front
Just the words
“I am ____”
These two words are the most strongest
We can have an occupation in the blank
An emotion
Mental illness or Disease
Our inner child
Or our outer adult
Our race
Our Sexual orientation
Our age
Our name
Our everything
Even our abuse
And there can be multiple “I am”s
So...

Human Nature
People always say to me
"Courtney you are happy and kind to everyone. After all you been through how can you be such a sweet young lady?"
I stop and think for a moment looking in their eyes then simply reply
"Its Human Nature."
Its Human Nature to over come your fears and challenges.
Push forward while your mind persists that you stop
Overpower your courage and conquer your demons
Because we all have Demons
Its Human Nature to pick up a starving stray animal on the side of the road
Then you come to realize that the dog or cat had gotten...

Listen
Listen!
Listen to the cries of a new born baby and take notice of how stressed her young mother looks
Listen to the expression of concern and anxiety she has as she tries to soothe her little Miracle
Listen!
Listen to the older gentlemen that is searching for work since he got laid off from the job he had been at for forty years
Look into his sad eyes and see how much it pains him to be 64 and searching for work
Listen to the Manager say "You are to old for this job." And chuckles as he walks away
Listen!
As you sit in your apartment and hear...

Gem Stone
Bright and bold people
Few are gold
Rest are gold plated
But
I feel I am a carbon particle
With the warmth of heart
I change my worth
Either Coal or Diamond
Flexible to that level
Accordingly
She said
With mesmerizing smile
Lastly, she emphasized
Diamonds are forever
Few are gold
Rest are gold plated
But
I feel I am a carbon particle
With the warmth of heart
I change my worth
Either Coal or Diamond
Flexible to that level

Diamonds are forever

Another Friday night
Another Friday night
The sky has come alive
Music and dance under the tavern lights
Beautiful and intoxicated eyes full of life
A single night, away from my life
I'll spend all my money tonight
I'll face tomorrow as it comes but for now I'm happy to be alive
I've got my beer goggles on
Dance until I drop
And you pretty little miss turn me on
There's joy and happiness at the bottom of this bottle
I'll swim until I hit the bottom
Dj don't stop, we don't wanna go home
The night is young, don't let it grow old
What more do I...

The Sun is ours
The sun is ours,
A glorious seritonin bestower,
Chief smile co- ordinator,
Our crops grow,
Through your lustrous gaze,
Whenever your near,
I don't need the purple haze ,
Narcotics,
Or drugs ,
To remind me to have fun,
The cows still graze,
Caressing the earth,
Ushering people together,
In an organic communion,
When I see you in your native state ,
You make me forgot,
About the atrocities,
Famine, war, classism, prejudice and human disarray,
Existential woes and the hurtful words people...

Single Reason
You look bright",
I heard
Innately, it may be
My MOM was a prototype
A single entity
The Supreme only once use
A term
PERFECT
Since that day, Angels started to
Frequently visit
Beauty Parlors

All That Counts...
You and I sitting here,
Is the only thing that counts.
Putting the hours in,
Day in, day out.
So, what counts -
Who holds the key?
...You and Me.
Sitting across from one another,
Talking, smiling;
That's all that will ever count...
In the end.
Is the only thing that counts.

Lyrics of My Sister
The ravens wince above the wisp of sunflower wings at the fountain's mouth
that is the supersoul folded on by love for our sister, her overlayering lace of leather heart fashioning us all,
and,
fumbling to the static of the ever-growing universe,
her preborn son,
forming his fingerprints down her side,
the thundering into his own existence.
Intelligible phrases intercepted by birds,
our blood through burning genes bind our sunsets.
Beneath a smoke of meterors
echoes forsake sound,
but coruscate in aurora dust. ...
that is the supersoul folded on by love for our sister, her overlayering lace of leather heart fashioning us all,
and,
fumbling to the static of the ever-growing universe,
her preborn son,
forming his fingerprints down her side,
the thundering into his own existence.
Intelligible phrases intercepted by birds,
our blood through burning genes bind our sunsets.
Beneath a smoke of meterors
echoes forsake sound,
but coruscate in aurora dust. ...

•Periwinkle•
a nursery tale)
Near a sleek interstate of the new Now
Of Today’s city glass towers’ gleam,
From the day’s perfect rise of Know How,
And Tomorrow of manicured dreams:
Stood the sprawl of an old shanty town
Where lush trees & green grass never grew;
Shown no mercy; a dry trodden frown
Like the tough shanty dwellers it drew.
But for all of a dirty-faced soul
Passing time in the cardboard & shake,
Moved an odd, mystic child of the shoal
Picking mussels & shells for the take.

Amazed
the Sun feels warm
the sea is calm
the mountains are in a haze
I am here
and you are there
we've been apart for days
no email, texts
or words between
still I know that we
can interact
communicate
by simply letting be
as feelings surge,
a mystic urge
starts flowing in between
where you breathe
and I believe
we're living in a dream
the Sun feeling warm
the sea very calm
and the mountains in a haze
I can sense you
feel your thoughts
truly I'm amazed
the sea is calm
the mountains are in a haze
I am here
and you are there
we've been apart for days
no email, texts
or words between
still I know that we
can interact
communicate
by simply letting be
as feelings surge,
a mystic urge
starts flowing in between
where you breathe
and I believe
we're living in a dream
the Sun feeling warm
the sea very calm
and the mountains in a haze
I can sense you
feel your thoughts
truly I'm amazed
