betterdays
miles mean nothing to a heart that is pure
words penned in grace, sent to ether
give heartease to the overstretched
sowing stiches of understanding
in tapestry threadbare

little suns and stars
shining bright in love and hope
from face unseen and adirondack chair
gives strength to one down, from down under
allows grief, the words needed the abilty to care
for these simple gifts, no payment required
from the heart open to care...
in response to a beautiful poem" the dirge of memory" gifted to me by Nat Lipstadt....one in a million..

Our absolute truth reveals itself
in a pale blue translucent light
in our dreams. We can't see it in
naked light of day. Like staring
at the sun it would blind us and
truth stripped bare is horrible.

turning bread into toast
peanut butter and jam
the part I miss the most
veraciously out of hand
I’ve been tying to slow it down
I’ve been counting through my breaths
distance found it difficult
to dwarf the pain that’s left

Love is like a boomerang
If it’s meant to be
It will come back
           If not
It will go far away
Love is like a flower
From beginning to end
Love is like a flower
A beautiful rain shower

William Wordsworth
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her ***** to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great God! I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathèd horn.

The Angry Pencil
Think of my mind as a lightbulb
That slowly it's sanity was dimmed
Until one day it was just gone

This went on for years and years
Over this time, many tears
Then suddenly: it started to flicker

It got quicker
And, Boom!
It flashed right on

Think of my mind as a dog
That repeatedly and mercilessly was kicked
No matter how much of the master she licked

Then one day the dog bit the hand that fed
And realized she wanted her master dead
So she could run wild and free

My mind is really smart
No matter how much you tear it apart
It will survive this hell

I finally realized I'm one strong *** chick
And for some reason that makes you sick
You are a giant ****
I know now you are always afraid

That one day my light bulb would shine
That one day the dog would refuse to whine
Your craziness I cannot define
And my life is once again mine
