A Return to the Simple Things

Life is simple again
The light of the sun
A blue sky
No implications for what is to come
The trees outside my window
Billowing in a gentle breeze
Just because
Small finches
Cute and light
Frolic on branches
Because they can
And sing
Their tune
Carried on
The same breeze
That rocks the trees
And I
Begin to sway too
My mind
At ease
Thank God
Life is simple again.

KJV . International Standard Version states "Let's not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest-if we do not give up."

I began asking, WIFM (what's in it for me). I was at the crux of chosing a Bitter or Better attitude and the latter was losing. Sometimes the "Enemy" is the "Inner Me", a master in...

Fate bounces of the walls of you soul and fills those holes you had your big car, plasma t.v., black card, and designer shoes in. Sometimes when you lose control, you really win. The devil gotta funny way of keeping the mind in a state of static shock keeping us locked and in awe of what we ought and ain't got When we really ought to be glad we got at all Static nev'a changing The Devil is funny that way.

Seasons Change

I am posting the following entry to let everyone know it's never too late to start again - - - again. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Date: November 28, 2006 Time: unknown Place: Dreamer's Cove (5 miles off the coast of Memory Lane) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Déjà Vu I am walking by a bayside Listening to the trickling sounds of hope and ambition pass by. I walk a familiar path. I've been here before, faintly reminiscent of hurt and disappointment. This place – I was here then and am now I see a piece of a dream then remember it was mine. It was here then and it is here now Washed up along the shoreline And I walk to see more memories of me, My dreams. And I gather...
