Your life is so delicate,
Like a house of cards.
Your so fragile
Sometimes I want to sit down
And pucker my lips make a slight blow in your direction and watch all of your cards scatter on the floor.

God
i know
a problem solver
who is real
He speak the words
to me
i am His servant
and i pray to thee
but
there is
none like He
there is only one God
truth and light
so what is
His purpose
on earth and in heaven
He shall
manifest Himself
in all of His creation
as He chooses and
as He pleases
there is none like He
almighty God
i worship thee

susan
taking a breath
i inhale the ending of another day
thinking i've accomplished a lot
assuming i've shown love where needed
i still feel
           unfulfilled

this unsettling in me
is waring

i've grown bored with
   self medication

i've become unscathed
by the obvious reaching out
   from others

there's still too much hurt
not only my soul
but the soul of so many living beings

   too much hatred
    too much cruelty
the unending suffering
   is exhausting

i accept i am not a savior
i get i haven't the power
to rescue all
   but give me some hope
   show me some progression
                  of goodness
offer me that the majority
   are kind

do that
and the passing of days won't seem so dire

do that
and i'll gain the strength
   to continue on
facing another day
with the promise
of a better tomorrow.
Only one can really see
pain on the inside,
beauty on the out.
But how could that be?
She smiles with pride
and never seemed to have a doubt.

She is consumed by feelings.
Her home life can be rough,
no can see the beatings,
oddly enough...

On the outside she's pretty
She could honestly light the whole city.
Only one would be able to know,
how her life was, long ago.

AprilDawn
the sky
drizzles
our dinner sizzles
so tired of this
retched soggy
season
someĀ  well rounded wine
a good reason
to take the edge off
today's blah-di-da
the dog comes in
muddy
again
I just know
he's going to be
extra
muddy paw friendly
to his mama
Today ...in poem form !
