When I heard a screeching outside my window I was trying to collect my thoughts. I wanted to put them on paper so they wouldn't be lost. Despite my best efforts, I could not write them down, the eerie sound of the raven would not let me have peace. I could not get her image out of my mind. She flew into my life dark as midnight. I was enticed by her hypnotic essence a power I could not fight. So I am a prisoner trapped in my desire. My mind is chaos and I cannot think straight anymore. Who knew how I would get lost when the raven came calling for me.

The streets are dim with hopelessness and the world has been darkened everywhere. Yet all hope is not lost, there are still those who do care. A woman who works at the corner market that gives away food that she cannot sell. The street preacher who has a story to tell. The police officer who takes time to play a game with neighborhood kids. The neighbors who help each other out, though they dont have a lot to give. Small lamps of kindness unite when the world has grown so dim. Love, compassion and caring that no darkness can ever end.

Open all of the doors and set the boundaries free. Let the machine die from within. No borders, no rules, let the rush begin. Everything is free for everybody. The rules are suspended . There is no longer a taboo. Let the people have their way, then sweep up the pieces of what is left.

The world has gone mad. Humanity has lost its way. Voices swirling around each other. Eyes are blinded to suffering in the confusion. The dust of disagreement convolutes the truth. No two people can agree about what to do. Political paralysis rules the day. Our neighbors die while trapped in a swirling vortex of apathy. Like a whirlwind we go round and round with no apparent direction.

Share a glass of cold water, give a loaf of bread. Buy someone a pillow where they can lay their head. Tell someone they are remembered, go share a smile. Just sit with someone and listen for a little while. If you don't think a small gift matters, then what is the point of giving. What ever you can do, thanks for giving.

Black Friday they scream all over the airways. Time to go shopping, time to bust the doors on every shopping place. Get up at 1am or you will be great, come on out, the deal they will not wait. I get frustrated with all of the hype, the materialism and waste, what I would not give for just a little peace. They say buy new fishing gear and get ready for the season that is 4 months away, I don't see the need my rod worked fine just last week. So on the barrage goes, like an infantry assault. I just don't see why I need new things, the old ones work just fine. Perhaps I will go shopping when their isn't such a line. So as the end of the season approaches , on my couch I will stay, let someone else go find the deal of the day.

I wake up in a cold sweat, my heart is racing. I struggle to breathe. I look at the clock and it is 430 am. I was up til 11pm not sleep has left me. I hit the shower but it doesn't help me get awake. The coffee is on but my eyes tell a sad tail. I empty half the *** before 7 and put the rest in a thermos to go. Out the door and into the river of humanity. I rush to work, into a sea of bodies, each hustling and jockeying for position like prize horses on a track that doesn't seem to end. I struggle to get my focus in front of my computer screen. Keyboards clicking, no one talks to anyone, we each are trapped in the river of information. I lose track of time and the world has gone dark. I leave but my problems follow me. On the bus ride home my mind races, ideas swirl. I wonder if others are having the problems that I am? I get home and collapse into my bed but I can't shut down. I just lay in bed felling like I am gonna drown.

It has been recorded time and again, but we learn nothing and must begin again. They cover their eyes and ears. They just run forward year after year. The edge of the cliff comes up fast, but we just refuse to slow down and will not pay attention to the past. So as the clock ticks towards midnight, the check will soon have to be paid. The question is to whom will the bill be given, who will be left to pick up the tab in a world gone mad.

I dare to be different. I will not conform. I will jump off of the cliff into the deep water. I do not care what people think of me, I want to feel the wind in my hair. Excitement is my drug of choice, don't give me a challenge, you will not like how I behave. I want to live a life without regret. I want to start a new trend! I want to live by throwing caution to the wind!

On an old country porch a dog lays and waits. He hears the sound of a truck and his tail begins to wag. Laying on a pillow dog bed patiently by the front door. A scottie hears heels on the walk way and prepares to welcome her mistress home. A chain link fence surronds a tudor cottage as border collies dart back and forth in excitement as a bus pulls up in front of the home. School age children run to the gate as their furry friends are excited to play. From here to there from seaside cottages to dusty country roads, dogs wait to greet their family with unconditional love, it truly is a dogs world.
