AWURAA 14h

I am not complicated.
I am not hard.
I am not tough.
I am broken, desiring affection, love from all those who desire to give it to to me.
But you God, you hold me down.
You fill me up with your love everlasting.
My eyes are filled with wonder and appreciation.
You embrace me.
Your touch ever so light.
You are the brightness in my life.
I pretended to have it all together, I pretend to have it all together, but you lord you hold me down.
You restore my mind, you teach me what is right.
You keep me sane.
You are my sanity.
Thank you.
Thank you lord that you are my sanity.

Empty verses Jan 2

Abecedarian of praise

A life without you Lord has no meaning.

Before you oh God I stand in full surrender.

Completely overwhelmed my desires.

Delivery me from my own desires.

Envelope my being with your Holy fire.

Fill my heart with love overflowing.

Give me the gift of decrement and understanding.

Hide me in thy precious wounds so by thy side I shall remain.

In you I find Fulfillment.

Jesus my Love and my Lord.

Keep me burning in love for you my God.

Lead me to thy Holy river.

Make me thine forever.

No man can comprehend your blazing glory.

Oh God my eternal Father.

Parise be to thee forever.

Quakes and Stroms resounds your majestic power.

Receive my unending worship my king and master.

Save me from my wayward undoings.

Teach me thy holy wordings.

Use me as thy unworthy instrument.

Victory belong to you mighty warrior!

Wash me free from every evil.

Xerospheres becomes streams in your holy precense.

You reign on high in unfading grandeur.

Zion forever proclaims your glorious slendur.

Couldn't come up with a title for my first attempt at abecedarian😅

I Miss My Parents Now, I Do

(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMIII)

Why do the Colorado prairies hail
When I think of "Thanksgiving Day" for sense?
Did life stop there, more than how many dense
Brief years 'go? thirty eight since that detail?
My photographic mind snapped all t'avail,
And shelved it 'gainst which future day fr'intents?
I wanted wine, though but a child, pretense
What drew up visions like more could own bail.
If now I'd rather work cuz all's lost to
The dogs and ravages of time, is't poor?
I've nothing left to cling to, as it were,
Except the Scriptures. Aught we ere then knew,
Like childhood, is long gone. Steak now in tour,
And deserts I ne'er dreamed of-- I'll seek You.

I know it's downright terrible, but the holiday was defined by home... and to enable me to bear it, I've put it all behind me. Yet, trying to join society,...

Thanksgiving Day Celebration

Thank you Almighty Great God for giving US
This extraordinarily blessed and gleeful holiday
The turkeys are being fried, baked or roasted
The cranberry sauce is protected from the snow dust
The children are happy because their stomach
Will be plentifully filled up with healthy food
Cakes and ice cream will put everyone in a great mood
The homeless will be feasting on the deck
Happily sitting around the well garnished table
Like everyone, they dream that every day
Was as special as today, where God’s graces
Are raining gold all over the United States
This is neither a tale nor an imaginary fable
Today feels like payday, today is a joyous day.

The Wednesday before this amazing day
Should be called White Wednesday
Since the day after this day
Is notoriously called Black Friday
Thank you God for this special gift
For this day of hope; it sounds like a myth
No other country celebrates like us
This is truly a blessed day
This is like payday, this is a happy day
We all wish that we had more appetite
We all wish that we could remain light
After so many richly varied and delicious meals
Throw away the scales and the diet pills
For just today, let’s enjoy ourselves
Let’s not worry, and don’t pay attention to our curves.

The Turkey A L'Orange Is Ready

I'm neither talking about the turkey
Who’s running for President
Nor the one which is a country
Now embroiled
And roiled in turmoil
I am talking about the huge pheasant
That we all like to fest on the last Thursday
Of November every year, and on New Year’s Day.

I can’t wait to enjoy its thighs and wings
I can’t wait afterwards to make the swings
Squeak and cry, because we all weigh more
Than before: the skinny, the rich and the poor.
Happy Thanksgiving Day everybody
The President already pardoned a gorgeous turkey.

Vitamin D 3 In Need

Dark and cold
Day and night
Circadian crash
Cortisol spike

How do they hold on
Those cold weather beast
Out there in the elements
No turkey to feast

I hope you're basking in the sun
Counting your blessings
Up here in the north
The sun's been missing

I hope somehow you all enjoy a beautiful Thanksgiving.

Johnny Marched A Home

This turkey pardon is nonsense,
Clearly symbolic.
But people seem to
No longer grasp the extent
To which that symbolism goes.
The gobblers which we free,
Where do they go?
To live out their lives in solitude
On a quiet reserve.
The rest?
Well, we just put them to death
Enshrined in a yearly ritual slaughter.
Nothing like that situation of the natives
When we boil off all the water..

And you may say,
"You think of it too much,
Sign to it too much importance."
But I say you think too little
And too small.
You think of all the easements
As entitlements
And not ones which we took
Through invasion and subjugation.

Dinner Table

You're still on my mind
the way you taste, and the way
you make me feel.
The world moves fast,
and soon, the time will be here again.
Instead of a turkey,
you've carved pieces of my heart
and reminded me of all the things I've forgotten.
The aches and pains that have taken
over the empty spaces between
the hands on the clock
work, bills,
pieces of my most intimate self
I've traded to sustain a living.

You've carved these pieces of my heart,
as savory as they can be,
and fed them to me,
showing me that the world isn't
that miserable
regardless of the fake smiles in a
fast-moving world.
My favorite time of the year comes
quicker, followed by my favorite
season.
Thank you for showing up,
and allowing us to feast on the parts
of ourselves we always seem to forget.
Next year, this time will come around
faster.
Until then, I'll savor the way you taste
and how good it feels to be around you

a circling turkey

I saw a turkey circling, high above Manhattan
his bronze and copper feathers ripped in the sun,
and it looked like it was having an awful lot of fun.

He looked proud, in those clouds—majestic and delicious,
I could picture him sprawled out, on our Thanksgiving dishes.
Then I thought, chastisingly, “Wow, in a way, that’s kind of vicious.”

I opened the glass doors—we were sitting on the sky-high terrace.
I thought I’d better check—so I wouldn’t later be embarrassed.
I called Karen (Lisa’s Mom), “You already got a turkey to prepare us?”

She was hand making apple and cherry pies, lining crust in the pans
“You bet!” She called, “One's dressed-up—and a honey-baked ham!”
Closing the door, I yelled, through cupped hands, “Fly on Turkey—DO NOT LAND!”

Chastise = to criticize harshly for doing something wrong.
