Stop praying, start living
Stop hoarding, start giving
Stop wanting, start enjoying
Stop waiting, start playing
Stop asking, start finding
Start hoping, stop minding

Stop whatever you are doing
Start changing

Smooth like honey,

Your words 

Slip through my soul -

Sweetening the bitter

Soothing the sore.

Your Word

Like honey, nurturing

My bones.

I have a craving in my soul,

A sweet tooth for Your own.

"Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." Proverbs 16:24

I May Be Wrong

I may be wrong but I’ll say it anyway

surely that is the point.

Jung’s theory of circumambulation says

“Give it a go”

Follow that glimmering thing

that interests you

down the path of development.

Heed the call to adventure

let new parts of you manifest.

Be the fool as precursor to

the Jedi master.

It’s an error ridden process

Can we be brave and kind,
Strong enough to speak our mind? 

Can we be mindful of the words we say,
As we go about our busy day? 

I challenge you to try this week,
to reflect on every word you speak. 

Will you be kind and gentle with yourself and others?
Friends, strangers, sisters and brothers.

Happy 100th Birthday Colonel Tom

What a legend Colonel Tom has become

The hearts of all our nation, he has won

To walk a hundred laps was his only goal

At 100 years old, it should have taken its toll

But Colonel Tom took it all in his stride

Filling isolated days with cheer and pride

The news of his challenge travelled far and wide

The media shared his story, prou...

Emptiness now seems to weigh,
Stubbornness now waits at bay,
Abruptness now gives a way,
Darkness will now turn to day..

Brightness soon looks to grey,
Firmness soon falls to prey,
Correctness soon starts to sway,
Darkness will now turn to day..

Busyness would light the hay,
Craziness would start its play,
Promptness would go away,
Darkness will now turn to day..

But

Braveness...

A trestle table set with content and classical elements
places a coven with arenose intent in a safe space
their minds set on causing change—present occurences canvass Mandala by way of effect.
fascicle circuits blitz and singe might-have-beens
washing away strands emblazoned in ever apparentness
accommodating silver lining fringe wherein proper golden ratio leaves
their genus' plant matter ...

the girl with the curves wishes she was thinner

the girl with narrow hips wishes her breasts were bigger

the girl with the acne wishes her skin was clear

the girl with clear skin wishes her freckles would disappear 

the girl with intelligence wishes she was pretty

the girl with beauty wishes classes were easy

the girl with straight hair wishes it was curly

Positive energy should come from within,

That is the only way to begin,

Climb your mountain bit by bit,

It's the only way to get you out of shit,

The first step is the hardest,

The second is a little easy,

But the third step could make you bright and breezy,

When you find you have risen to your first destination,

You may have words to give to the nation,

Carry on what yo...

Sitting on the kitchen floor 

in the middle of the night

Pill packets to the left of me 

and a knife just to the right 

I was young, I was broken 

I felt I couldn’t win the fight

Hopeless and desperate 

I wanted a way out of this life

This wasn’t something new

there had been many other times

But usually the prescription drugs 

were enough to suppress the crime

T...

To be positive is to be naïve, 

I may see the world negative, but it's better than the fake fairy tale you perceive.

I see the raw in the well done,

I see the pain in the fun, 

through my pessimistic eyes I even see the wet rain and storm in the sun. 

This perspective avoids disappointment. 

Viewing the world as troubled and not worth saving is my ointment.

It n...

I love your positivity 

With all this current activity

One day you'll get back to some tranquility 

Until then screw any negativity

Life stasis.  Rut. Climb out, escape

Decaying detritus.

Manifest new reality

Through positive action.

Hesitant.  Awaiting Order.

Unable to instruct

Self to act.  External control

Required to achieve goal.

Observe: written word, adventure -

Other’s experience:

Second hand life – passivity’s

Bespoke, known creation.

Disallow life’s victimising

Be...

Take action.

Strike a blow.

Ring the anvil.

Pace.  Drive.  Beat.

Be dynamis.  Perpetual origin.

Chain reaction ignition.

Strike hot iron. Watch hammer-sparks ignite satellite flames,

Orbiting original impetus: You.

Gravitational fulcrum.

Nuclear furnace.

Primal energy.

Ignite your world with positivity.  Watch the wildfire.

Faces are dull, lamps are lit, 
The room is black and I am alone, 
Dreaming something but reality is different, 
I don't know what's going to happen 

I didn't know what will I do 
Stand upon the stool
Or see in a mirror like a fool, 
But I said to myself, 'I have to be cool'

Nothing seems to be different, 
As I follow the same me, 
I have no difference nor glee in me.

Everyone has come ...

Stuck

Sit back with the captain and Jack 

they all walk in

they found me wet with all the K-pins 

knocked down

get back up

got to get back up 

I can see my soul is all but stuck 

I got my meds, my sickened head 

I got my life to get straight

the rest is what I make 

the rest is what i make!

with never picky taste 

if I’m gonna be yours lets get away

Not all bad

I’m out on the front porch smoking 

scratching forgotten dreams from my baldness

coffee makes me happy

even a little light breeze helps

today is gonna be different

yesterday was so so 

I got through it

Some of it hurt

she was civil

that is always a plus

I miss my babies

i regret my choices 

yet the porch is my place 

my ground

what is i...

Time to sever all alliances

shades dark which depict

No purpose those serve

 and independence restrict

Had my share of amends

 beliefs now must uphold

 Fix impending glitches

skewed life thus remold

All of robbed past verve

it’s time now to beget

 Seek out fresher vistas

sans cause for any upset

In environs carved out

conductiv...

Some day in the future

dawn will break again

None be grudges nursed

 or space  for any disdain

Where vales be pristine

 living modest and plain

On the face all is cheery

deep within bit suspect

With answer writ large

sans effort don’t expect

Coming on to very edge

wonder if be able to fly

All efforts withstanding

but own beliefs I’ll  rely
