To let go...to release one's grip, Not hold on anymore, Walk away, Rip it off, Break it... Though it cannot be undone. The point is...it was done, It occurred, or it happened! What was, was What is, is What is to be, will be! What we were, we were What we are, we are What we will be...well...if we are to be, will be! To let go is not easy. It could be, but... It also could not! We could let it be, Whatever that may be, However it is to be! 'To let go requires the now. What was done requires to let go now. Let go now what was done, Also requires to let be what will be! To let go and let it be is part of the process of being, It requires the now. To let it go... And let it be... Past. Present. Future. The one that stands above these is the present. The present allows us to look to the past for lessons for the future. The present is the best present! The present! The gift!

The Present

To let go...to release one's grip, Not hold on anymore, Walk away, Rip it off, Break it... Though it cannot be undone. The point is...it was done, It occurred, or it happened! What was, was What is, is What is to be, will be! What we were, we were What we are, we are What we will be...well...if we are to be, will be! To let go is not easy. It could be, but... It also could not! We could let it be, Whatever that may be, However it is to be! 'To let go requires the now. What was done requires to let go now. Let go now what was done, Also requires to let be what will be! To let go and let it be is part of the process of being, It requires the now. To let it go... And let it be... Past. Present. Future. The one that stands above these is the present. The present allows us to look to the past for lessons for the future. The present is the best present! The present! The gift!

Who am I? I'm nobody special. I drive the streets and give rides to strangers. I stare at the night sky waiting for something amazing to happen. I talk to God like how one talks to one's self. I kiss my kids good night or goodbye as if it's my last. I am waiting to die or for the coming of the holy king to establish his kingdom. I could come across as dull or perhaps gloomy. I adapt, but no longer... For it does not what I do because I prefer to be nobody, because I am letting go! Enoch walked with the Lord and was no more... So to I shall be!

I Am No More

"It's wet outside today baby girl. A few drops fell for us today." I told her as I carried her in my arms as we stared out the window. "Pretty? Yea baby."

Time is, When a child, Like honey, When grown, Like a drying lake.

It's warm as I settle in. My heart picks up speed, We race in the thrusting motions, Then calmly settle when I am in between you.

In Between You

It's warm as I settle in. My heart picks up speed, We race in the thrusting motions, Then calmly settle when I am in between you.

'If only' rules my life. If I would only be more responsible... If only I would be more daring... If only... If only... If only... If only... If only! If only I'd rid myself of these and just venture onward! If only... I would not be stagnant! If only!

If Only's

'If only' rules my life. If I would only be more responsible... If only I would be more daring... If only... If only... If only... If only... If only! If only I'd rid myself of these and just venture onward! If only... I would not be stagnant! If only!

I am lost again. Truly! I have been here before, Therefore I must be going in a circle! Then I said, "Go forth!" Only to stay. Once more I say, "Go forth!" Again, only to stay. Fear. It keeps me stagnant. There is no growth, Much less development. My voice presents me as a pacifist, But my heart is a fury! I am but one of many lost, In need of saving, One who requires guidance, instructions, indications... Perhaps a sort of map if you will. The Stars point me to the North, But my dazed and confused heart says, "Stay right where you are" And a voice within that seems to say, "For you are not lost, but only walking blindly."

Write on me... What You will; Your Will, to fulfill...Your purpose...those words; Being Your very Word to bring my life into focus. *Write on me! Write on me!* I am an open book with blank pages! Write on me! Write. On. Me! Do not leave me blank! Write on me! Leave me not empty! Write on me! Ink on quill...Place the tip of Your quill on me and inscribe Your all! Write on me.

Mommy lying next to my children, All three fast asleep, Not before I had shared with them a story. During the brightness of the day I had lied in the shadow of a tree, The thought of Adam in the Garden of Eden came to me. No houses. No cars. No airplanes. No television. No computers. No phones! Just the animals on land and in the sea, God and Adam and... Then came Eve. That came to an abrupt end when they ate of the forbidden fruit talked into by that snake! As if that was not enough Cain did away with Abel! Many years went by from Noah to Abraham to Jonah, Whom God commanded to demand repentance from Nineveh. Reluctantly is an understatement, But nonetheless reluctantly Jonah did so, Not before he supplicated to God in the belly of the beast for... You know the story! More years went by to a time when a Persian king forbade a man to communicate with thee Almighty. That man did so openly only to repose with the lions and an angel. I speak, of course, of Daniel! I moved time along for mommy and my two children to the time of the God man, He who was obedient to the very death on a tree and rose in three! Mommy lying next to my children, All three fast asleep before me, Now the lamp is off and the nightlight is on, May the one who is our all in all protect thee!

Lie there, On the blanket, On the grass. Watch the leaf, Hanging by a thread, Glide down gradually. See the clouds, They intertwine, Seemingly to kiss. The butterfly will do just that... Fly. And the hummingbird, It's wings hum. This may seem cheesy, And perhaps all too cliche, But I swear to you...no photo will do this justice. One must lie there, In peace, Without a phone, care, or worry.
