Why
Why can I never be good enough?
Why can I never be strong enough?
Why can I never look in the mirror,
Think a little clearer
And see beauty in me?

A Psalmist
They pat me on my head and feed me some food
When I run into the rain to fetch them their fruit.
Dripping on their porch, I give them their prize
Then they close their door as I remain outside.
My tail no longer wagging, "Good boy" they call me
But I am a watered melancholy watermelon collie.
What part of any of that is good?
The world of strangers
Strangely we connect through words
The heart knows it all
I am so happy and blessed to be part of HP.
Thank you all!!

Have made so many friends here, your presence in my life through words means a lot, wishing the best today and always, love and blessings

We are KEPT apart.
Our hearts are still strong.
At least that is what I thought.

I fell in love and my eyes opened.
Now I see the beauty in a lot of things.

I witnessed my first family death.
I watched her take her last breath and with that gone was my best friend.

Shadows dance across the collar
A striking contrast above the eyes
And there beneath the pavement lies
Where the contors whip and flee
Where the hollow outlines always try
And run and hide

Poetry is a smooth stone slipping
Wavering back and forth in the water beneath
And the fall of all in a slow transcendent arc
Until it comes to rest
Finally
Like all poetry
At the end and beneath
And poetry below
