Understanding

There are many who know you, but very few who understand you.

I want to do good, make people happy. I want to forgive, I want to understand.I don't want to be judged. Therefore I will try never to judge. I want to be loved and cherished. I wish to love and to cherish. Breathe... look in the mirror. None of us were born to be perfect.Not one...Let your shoulders drop. Un-clench your hands and jaw. Relax.Take a deep breath, let it out, let it go... Now repeat aloud...I am awesome!I am...

It's a Snake!!!

Oh Horse Feathers!

Our horse herd was managed in three parts. We kept two small bunches in near pastures for riding, while a third bunch was allowed to roam the far pastures and was brought in only when we needed extra horses as pack horses or a working team. Brood mares also ran in this herd. Bring the riding horses in each day was the job of the wrangler, quite often one of us boys. The wrangler had to first bring in his wrangle horse whi...

The Voyage

Life's Journey

The boat sets out gently propelled,By the currents of time,Making its way towards a meanderingRiver. The currents draw it onward,Inexorably towards faster waters.Past shoals and rapids ever forward,Pausing only to embark a companion,To share the voyage. Strange lands glide past,Exotic landscapes where one companion departs,Only to be replaced by another.Ever faster flowing past an unending vista of other shores,The endles...

The setting sun upon the seais oft to me tranquility;A falling star in dark of nighttis to me a wondrous sight;To roam the hills of forests green,more peaceful times I've never seen;To watch a bird fly high aloft'neath the clouds so white and soft;To see these things instills in methe faith and trust that makes me free.

Slow she walks

Malama (Vuto_MSK) challenged me to a Micro-fiction challenge. So I dedicate this to you.

Slow she walks, with her eyes closed, into the darkness. She doesn't need eyes to see, ears to hear or senses to sense, what dangers lie ahead. Here walks a focused girl, in a straight path, numb to distraction or the people around her.  Straight she walks, to her path of destiny, drawn to it like a magnet. She's a fragile juggernaut, but nothing can stop her. Like a fly attracted to a zapper, drawn to the light. She skip...

Out here on a long and lonely highway as I make my way down the line, and I know there will soon be times when my thoughts will soon be wandering like they always do. And there are the times when I can feel their eyes upon me from those I pass on by, and it shouldn’t bother me but there are times when I find myself counting as I pray to keep from exploding outward in a pattern. With there being times when their voices can...

I lay in bed, breathing deeply, hoping it would distract me from my excruciating headache. Pieces of the only food I had an actual craving for floated in a bucket of vomit by my bedside. “God, why me?” I whimpered. A strong wind forced the curtains away from my window and over my body. It traveled from my feet to my ears. It whispered dominantly, “Why only acknowledge me when you think I've wronged you?” It could have bee...

Why should I be here when my child has gone?I'm devastated and don't know how to carry on;She had a bright future coming her way;Till everything changed on a beautiful spring day;She was always so calm and dignified;Despite overwhelming pain she rarely cried;I'm fighting a lost cause, my hope went away;It happened in an instant on a cold winter day.
