The storm in ravages
The rainbow appear
And I become a poet!

Wild thorns stinging
The rose appear in bloom
And I become a prophet!

Behind the ominous clouds
Comes the rain in blessings
And change  is a chameleon !

Why can't you hear me?
I used to wonder if you could.
Why are we speaking?
I used to wonder if your words were stories.
Why are we climbing?
I used to wonder if the world could fall.
Why did you say we were the story?
I used to wonder who was reading.
Why did you tell me we were dreaming?
I used to wonder if I believed you.

And I do.
So tell me this.
How do I wake up?
If I'm dreaming, wide awake?
Someone, seriously. Give me an answer. To any of these.

The Sun is shining awfully bright tonight.
Things aren't always what they seem.
There are some that speak of ***
like they can not survive without it.

Well -
There are only four things in this life
that I can not live without - literally.

Jesus Christ
Water
Food
Family and true friends.
Without those I would certainly
wither away ....

*** can be had by any,
animal-
beast-
and pervert.

While love and the art of making it
is thoughtful, pleasant and soul erupting.

It's volcanic.

It's the biggest rogue wave
the world's oceans could ever offer.

It's the most delicate-
most tasteful-
most exquisite of paintings.

It's simply....

poetry
       in
              motion.

*** is a mere spasm.
While making love with another
like feeling soul....

It...
It shakes the ground under the entire
world's feet!

Trust me -
You can live without ***.

Why ?

It's something that means nothing!

Give your body away
when it means something -
if
     not ... ..
          everything.

Thirteen Reasons...


        We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny.
                           But what we put into it is ours.

                                  -Dag Hammarskjold

1. God made you; you can never be replaced
2. God made you for some purpose – live to find it
3. Someone is blessed each day in knowing you
4. You must live so that others may live
5. Someone desperately needs your kindness right now
6. You haven’t yet written your book, your story, your
song
7. When you offer up your suffering, you help others
8. Children running barefoot through the flowers of
spring
9. Children running barefoot through the leaves of
autumn
10. Dachshund puppies. And children. And flowers. And leaves
11. Coffee and a talk with a good friend
12. Breakfast and the Sunday morning funnies
13. That space in the pew God has saved for you
