I'm Still Alive

My time should have been up long ago, but I'm still here...I'm Still Alive

The impact was sudden and fierce. But the fear didn’t set in until I saw the vehicle that rear-ended me rolling toward me. “I’m not ready to die,” I prayed out loud. Then I closed my eyes and let faith wash over me. When I opened my eyes again, the silver SUV was inches from my door. Miraculously, it was standing on its side instead of on top of me. I released the breath I didn’t know I was holding and let fat tears roll...

The Lips of Infinity

Because love lifts you up to the lips of infinity ...

The Lips of Infinity(Raanana, May 16, 2019) And he welcomed them,The children, the old ones, the infirm,The youth, the busy young men and women,The forsaken and excommunicated,The doubters and disbelievers,Agnostics and atheists,The doctors, the scientists, and technicians,And, yes, philosophers and poets,From all over the world, And he spoke to them in the one languageThey all understood, the language of silence and acti...

The Fisherman and the Mermaid

Do you believe in Mermaids?

    “Mermaids, Kelpies, Harpies,” he muttered. “Superstitious fools.” The old fisherman was motoring his dory out of the harbor. “They blame the lack of skill on make believe creatures.” Fishing had been down recently. Soon the fisherman had his 200 hook line baited and laid out. He laid back under a tarp and the stars to sleep. Waking, he started to retrieve the line. A club in hand ready to dispatch the fish, but most h...

God's Plan

Rejoice in his plan

by Fuzzy 1954God has a plan that we mortals know nothing about.  As we go about our lives learning the true meaning of life, touching others as they touch you.  Know Gods hand is on your shoulder, trust in him.  For he trusts in you. When he calls one of his angels to his side, don't despair.  Rejoice in the time you had together.  The memories are forever, for that is God's gift to the loved ones left alone.  " Until our...

Impressionism And Abstraction

Thoughts on the Christmas season

Angels are the travelers between the stars and moon looking for the perfect moment for when Heaven would descend to Earth. The Christmas story and time begin with some sort of a journey in some form through time in each of us. As we all follow an inner pathway through the mind and those smoking mirrors of memory as well as through the soul. Following our own star, or guiding light to its final destination with the use of...

The Fall

Do you know how it feels to fall in love?

In a magical land far far away, fairy tales make the headlines on a daily basis. Seldom sad endings, mostly happily ever after. Everyone was special if they believed. I wanted to be famous; I wanted them to sing songs and tell tales about me long after my death. But most importantly, I wanted to fall in love.I started my day just like any other day. I read the paper as I had my breakfast. Today's headlines: RAPUNZEL DYES...

I tried to research sourcesI could find no proof I tried to seek out referencesI guess they all had moved I thought up some trick questionsThey did seem answered right And who says "lie detector test"As a date some night? I wish there were a sure-fire wayTo leach out the truth Instead of just believingWhen you say "I love you."

Faith Believe Love and Hope Faith To have faith in someone is to know without question To listen to your heart when you head says you shouldn't. Faith is the one thing you believe in when nothing else makes sense. And you realize without it nothing mattered at all. Believe Add believe and you are stronger than faith by itself To see a child's belief in Santa is a wonderful example Why do we stop when we grow up? Can we no...

The reflection in the mirror is that of a broken women with a tear stained face. Messy hair and dark rings around her tired eyes. Someone in her mind No one would miss. In her mind she feels its time feeling like although she tried and tried she has never achieved any of her personal goals. The obstacles in her life she feels are just too great, So has never know the feeling of success. Today she lays down for the final t...

Belief

Sometimes it's hard to be yourself...

I dreamed that all my wounds had healed, which freed me to move on.My confidence was coming back, I'd thought it all but gone.A smile, a laugh, an opening up, a glimmer of some hope,But my epistemic self still said I was a dope.Not sure if I was worthy, was sadly my beliefAnd a brave face was the one I wore, despite the mental grief.Suppressing it, I steeled myself and closed my inner ears.Struggling with the demons who h...

Water glistened on the pavement. April never lied about its love for rain. But today seemed unusually humid and the fog rolled in as the clock struck five passed six. Peter cursed as the vines from the roses dug deeper into his skin. He was in the alleyway between 1st and Main, caught in a venomous patch of roses. Fatigue settled over as he drifted into a daze, blinking between darkness and light. Unaware, whispers faintl...

Paths

Religion as a control tool

You walk in life upon hardened soil, Not petals of rose and moss; Each day you face life’s woes and toil, And keep score by gains and loss; You’re told each moment is schemed and planned, By He who spoke on the mount; And on that day when Sunday clanned, His hymns are sung and the monies count; Led by a book of blessed verse, As taught by lesser men; Their teachings fraught with the aged curse, Only He can pardon your sin...

Faith

My one and only attempt at a religious poem...not sure where this came from...

Faith, it’s a beautiful thing,That little word with the special ring,It’s faith in the things I cannot see,Like knowing my God is always with me,Faith that everything will turn out alright,That my days of darkness will lead into light,Faith that Jesus will take my hand,And guide me through things I don’t understand,That no matter where I roam, far and wide,My God will be there by my side,And until I’m home in Heaven above...
