When here
Is nearer than near

In this moment
I tell myself

This framed picture
Bordered with and by others

Its next stop is non-stop
travelling time and space

How about some of that
You take the high road

While I take the low one
Our destination a place in the sun

In this space
In this time

Today is just another whistle stop
Followed by tomorrow's next flip flop

that afternoon
   when we arrived
   for coffee & cake
   at the Vienna TV-tower
   I saw a bundle
   on a stretcher
   right by the entrance

I did not tell you
   what I learned
   from the flustered manager
   who quickly ushered us around
   the ominous object

that the crumpled shape
   had jumped from
   the panorama terrace
   not so long before

I would not allow
   a stranger's death
   intrude upon
   our happiness

Poetry Take Me Away


I have had a hectic day ( that's an understatement)
Poetry come and sweep me away
Transport me through time and space
Please just take me to another place
I need to once more have a smile on my face
Because no one else can take your place

Poetry take me away

My TV  will not do
I am devoted only to you
Give me a quote or a sonnet or a rhyme or 2
My heart belongs to you
So write upon it with ink or stamp my heart
with your poetic seal
You have all  the appeal
For poetry I have zeal

Poetry take me away

Poetry you are my most faithful friend
My love for you will never end
You are my undying trend
Poetry
I want to spend time with you
Only you will do
My love for you is so true
Poetry Take Me Away <3

head of marble
feet of clay
I can't weep
nor can I pray

I cannot tell
where moisture lies
tears come unbidden
to my eyes

down my face
the water flows
though my features
are composed

I'm too numb
to feel their grace
too frozen still
to wipe my face

so I'll allow them
I'll be still
I love you, dad

and always will.

Very upset right now.

My dad appears to be fine
But i have a certain sense
of foreboding

It's all in God's hands
But i have had trust issues
all my life

Please forgive if I read slowly
or not at all
I can't stop the tears

There many more gifted Writers then myself here on the earth.
So I know the truth, that  I am a ok writer whom allow Christ.
To write poetry that is Great through me, not entirely me whom writes.
For he wants to use us all through our writing to bless others here.
For he will always add to a offering in his name to bless our gifts.
To reveal himself to everyone else through each of our gifts here.
When we give the gift to him and deciated it to him here as well.
For there are by more ways to give to God then just our money.
For its far better to look beyond our-self to want others healed.
it is a sad truth
so many hide in bubbles
as they cross life's pond

We learn so much
We learn it all too late
Value of dreams, love, life
In favour of money, left to wither
Our children grow, uninterested in the passage of time
One last game of catch, tea, band practice
Whilst we look at budget reports
Time closes in

Wide, innocent eyes
Become wise and concerned
Each year, feeling shorter and shorter
While the visits to the doctor become longer and longer
The kids start to visit less
We never earned their time
We never tried our best

It all went by so fast
We, I, could have been better
Present, caring
Awake to that which made them smile
Even after they left home,
Should have seen, should have known

There was love inside their hearts
But we grew up blind
And now it's twilight
And the sun is already gone
We learn so much
We learn it all too late
