What if you
Didn’t know if
What you read
Was your meal
What if what
You wanted was
A crumb and
Not this please
My friends give
To those that
Are hungry for
That giving will
Bring you salvation
Not to them
Just to you

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.
Lesson015
Take what you
Can or ask
For what you
Need one continues
Weakness while the
Other provides strength
Time to choose
PrairieFlower
I feel like
A prairie flower
One of many
Different only in
Color I wonder
Why no bees
Buzz by me
Tickling my petals
With long legs
Enjoying my nectar
Or why no
Child has seen
Smiled and snatched
Me up to
Be their own
But here I
Remain lovely in
A sea of
Loveliness content knowing
That I’m the
Best flower that
I can be
OneManAlone
I yearn to
Find my shadow
Gone since this
Cloud cover of
Despair made landfall
I yearn for
My buddy that
Joins me daily
On walks or movies
Or dinners but
Instead I’m shadowless
One man alone
CharlotteMorning
Today starts crisp
Like the first
Succulent bite into
A cold apple
The morning dew
On my toes
Tickling like wet
Feathers and the
Birdsong symphonies in
Stereo surrounding me
Low sun catches
Tall tree tops
Making them glow
Sudsy like kitchen
Sponges as the
Steam rises from
My coffee like
Sirens released ghostly
From Pandora’s box
