Fast 50

Am I back to writing fifty words about fifty words? Wow, I am such a talented turd Maybe I'll write about sadness again Cry for the ONE who has caused me my pain A long desert road that goes on for miles With nothing to cheer me but my lunatic smiles I reached out to touch the burning red fire I felt in my heart that it was true desire A time to love and claim what

Silence

Sitting by the lake, crickets chirping a cheery song. The moon, near full, casts a soft glow amongst the pines and the jeweled black sky above our little clearing sparkles with ancient stars. We've paddled in by moon again, the joyous end to an easy day. And now we've settled to our respective words, he consumes and I produce. I sit and wonder if the other folks, the ones with which we share this lake, have any clue the peace they shake? Natures world is settled now, the creatures move with barely a sound. Some hunt and others gather but none of them yell or roar with laughter. I know it's my preference to get away and this is not the best place to stay. The motors roar right through the night and my tranquil thoughts abate in flight. I've broken down to rhyming trite to make a point that's sadly right. I know I'd feel the other way if I had a cottage at which to stay. A boat to ski would be such joy for one who'll be a teenage boy. I guess I...

Morning

Did I wake today? I rose with a start A black satin sheet draped across my heart Too many wonders, Frail heart torn assunder Echos of laughter mock the silence Breaking  tranquility like sadistic violence

Gentle Waves Lap

Bright sunny day Men and children play Gentle waves lap the shore Ignorant of what came before A rhythmic nature's dance My willing soul entranced This to be my special day The one we spend just how I say A drive to laugh, a joke to share A time for breakfast who knows where The water's edge my favorite place To fish and swim at turtle's pace Enjoy the people and the sun Just the boys and silly fun Many more are sure to come Memories when all's said and done Looking back I know he'll say How special was this Father's day.

The day was off to an inauspicious start, late and lost and without my Crack I raced across the city with my anxiety barely in check. Days like today are hard to keep in perspective, the loss and uncertainty are so close to mind, the abuse never far behind. But today worked out I think and for that I'm thankful. To keep moving forward I've learned that the words I've said, the lip service I've paid, has not fallen on totally deaf ears. To accept uncertainty and accept that it can go the other way is a major challenge but the only option for keeping on track. I've said before and I'll say again, and if you believe or not in higher powers matters not, buchra ensha Allah. Make what you can of every day and let the unknown be, without fret or bother for what might not be real. If life is full of doubts and fears then you'll mire in the brackish swamps of the mind and only glimpse the world that lives beyond. Tomorrow has come and past a thousand times and I was...

spinning

here again the last resort the mind and ego's sad retort to karma rolling over being into darkness i might be fleeing today the cycle brings me back the body working to keep mind on track and then when 'dorphines start to wane allowing hope to ebb again for all alone i face the future with my actions fate was sutured as what i seek may not exist fate gives the knife it's final twist

when and where are not the questions how is to the point and why is a given to think to work to channel energies the good and bad are mirror images of each other the trick is in the flip fallen heros stood for time an image of strength and honor and now to keep to the path ignoring the pressures and fears the self is the only voice that matters the goal is to teach a new vocabulary the day is young and the opportunity exists to maintain the goals and follow through one day one job one challenge at a time
