I was born with a mending thread. A gift.

I see sadness and stich smiles.  

I see a hole and stich a patch.

I see a broken heart and seek to mend it.

I  see loneliness and weave it into a magical tapestry.  

It is my nature.  

Yours is a different cloth. The strongest and most elusive I have seen.  

Try as I might to lay a stich, my thread dissolves, my needle misses.

I still always feel the need to try, though the fabric resists.

Take the slice when offered
It doesn't happen everyday

It's not that you don't want to
But life gets in the way

Look at me
What do you see

Happiness from
A loving heart

Kindness from
Putting others first

Intelligence from
A thirst for knowing

Strength from
Facing life's challenges

Humor from
Facing life's challenges

Humility from
Facing life's challenges

Look closer still
You will see

I am no more than
Your mirror

Hidden poems
Kept out of sight

Secret pain
I cannot write

Broken dreams
Cut my feet

Distant goals
I'll never meet

Broken heart
That never mends

Bleeding out
I can't pretend

Smile dims
My laughter ceases

Shattered life
With missing pieces

Angel speaks...

Sleep to wake, wake to sleep,

day to night, night to day,

life to death, death to life,

Nothing ends, nothing begins,

only cycles through again and again,

love is the road on which all things travel

Fleeting moments
Slipping through time

Moments spent
Looking back

Moments spent dreaming
Of future joy

Moments wasted
Looking nowhere

Only in these moments

Holding you

Kissing you

Loving you

Am I living

In the eternal
In the absence of time

My heaven
Is in the moments
Spent with you

I am a Carnivorous Zebra
I'm the only one of my kind

From the herd I've been cast
Because I just won't eat grass

So behind the strip mall I dine

Big blue boxes are a carnivores dream
As they fill them at the end of each day

With burgers and cheese
Eat as much as you please

Being a carnivore is really OK!
