....speak so much louder then words!
a person can shout out
wanting to self defend
to chase away the hurt
caused but such a dear friend...
They have seen the words
written down
then told they werent true
by someone who thought they knew
Letters sent
harsh words said
no, you can't take back those words
but ACTIONS
speak louder than words
So you have to start over
light the match
burn down the old stuff
so on to bright green you can latch
Can you wait to see
just what might be?
Sure, but you have to move up
you have to move out
flying
soaring
Then just maybe
one day we will see
each other
under a TENDER
WILLOWLY YOUNG OAK TREE!
The FIRE RENEWS!

You can't take your words back...
See...
you told so many people
that you were in love with
Me!
They heard you say it
So deny what you must
I don't really care
I'm moving up
I'm moving out
I'm not one to pout
Life is full and free
I don't want your bended knee
I'm burnin' down that old oak tree!

All of it...
was copied
every word
every picture
every smile
stored....
you might have
hit the delete button...
you might have hit reset....
But someone had
already copied it
someone is holding it secure...
You wished for something...
now you have it
now you are gonna wish you were dead!

Cycles of Life
Or is it just going around in a circle
and returning to where we had begun...
Is it progress
or regress?
Too many times around the circle
and you will be sucked down in to
the whirlpool.
The RESET button?
Start over, Try again with the same substances?
The result will be the same
How about this.....
LIGHT the MATCH
burn it all
then your life will start anew
green sprigs of life appear after a fire
BLISS!!!!

passage is from William James:
We stand on a mountain pass
in the midst of whirling snow and blinding mist
through which we get glimpses
now and then of paths which may be deceptive. I
f we stand still we shall be frozen to death.
If we take the wrong road we shall be dashed to pieces.
We do not certainly know whether there is any right one.
What must we do? '
Be strong and of a good courage.'
Act for the best, hope for the best, and take what comes. . . . If death ends all, we cannot meet death better.

Out in the Field
Deleted
He didnt want me
tossed me aside
grabbed someone else
to go along for the ride
now that I am leaving
HE feels I am his to claim
to pulverize, to berate
mental state to maim
HE deleted me
tossed me in the trash
now is trying to reclaim
and give another thrash
BUT...GUESS WHAT...
I have been deleted
HE won't be able
to retrieve me from the bin
I am going my own way
and bearing it with a grin

tergiversation
I can wait
I have been taught
to be patient
So many crazy things
can happen in a day
life can fall to pieces
from just a few words
that a person has to say
OVERT TERGIVERSATION
that is what I dealt with today.
Yet when all is said
when all is done
Once can STILL come away
and have some fun
SHE can not stop me
I WILL go on
I have VENTED
and dumped a ton
Now ONWARD
FORWARD
I have a
HAPPY LIVE TO LIVE.
Light as a Feather
in ANY
kind of weather!!!!

Gettin the work DONE!!!
The rain has come in torrents
soaking the sodden earth
and popping forth has come
wisdom and even words of mirth.
But in my pastures fair
up came thistles there
by the score
in great big clumps
and then again
many more....Enuf of dust and packing
time for some FRESH air
3 hours....
Time well spent
Gettin the work done
in pasturz fair!

Remembering a Time of Innocence
I remember
the trip seeming so long
the ugly noisy city roads
canceling out my "song"
I remember
a narrow country road
lined with orange lilies
bursting forth
I remember
a time of innocence
signaled by the flowers
that we were getting close
Our destination final
heralded by masses of orange
singing THEIR song
"light as a feather"
they laughed together!

maybe it does have a purpose
maybe it fills a void
maybe the clutter hides

Stuff
It has been a long day
overwhelming
clutter
dust
STUFF
STUFF
that has been sitting
for years
unused
forgotten
unnecessary
Why do we think
that we need this
STUFF
did it EVER
really serve a purpose?
Where is "light as a feather"?
Where is the laughter?
Where is peace?
Where are those matches?
I don't need this

Micro-Macro Disconnect
If a person creates a false reality in their mind...
and they believe it....is it really a false reality (to them)
It's always amazing to me to hear an intelligiant,
articulate, rational person come to an absurd conclusion...

light rumbles heard for hours and hours
all around....Then
rumbling ever deepening
skies darkening
portentous clouds appear
Just waiting now
for those skies to break open
and pour out
its obscenities foul
There won't be any rainbow
after this big storm
night has come
not one ray of sun....
But morning always comes
glistening is diamond dew
reminding me and you
that Gods love is true.

Love-light as a feather!
I couldnt believe my eyes!
I have never seen two hawks together
They were so close and so fast
that I was unable to get the magic shot
to prove it.
It is said they mate for life
But I only see them causing strife
(with my chickens)
But today-driving East
in my beautiful VA countryside
There they were...
Flying and flipping
dancing circles in the air
courtship
love so fair!
MY VIRGINIA
Rolling grassy green hills
shadowed by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
shadowed by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Happy fat cows and horses
munching on thick green grass...
Farmers and hay
chickens and more
dance across
the Page County floor
In the distance
the Massanuttan Mountains peak above trees
Each season brings beautiful changes
and I love them all
Stark gray of winter
barren trees burst forth
with glistening diamonds
after an ice storm
Winter gives way to spring and summer
each month bringing a
different wild flower.
too many to name
Wildlife abounds,
bear, raccoon, possum
birds of prey, coyote, fox...
deer...mink, otter and beaver...
bobcats and talk of mountain lion...
Fall comes again all to quickly
taking over with brightly colored trees
giving the world one last hurrah
with their gorgeous leaves.
So much here
So much I hold dear
This is MY VIRGINIA
I will miss you!
Reality
Reality
suddenly dawned
something a road trip
seemed to spawn
Reality
I am leaving her
it doesnt seem quite right
Reality
I am leaving
a safe and beautiful place
where honest friends abound
Reality
my job
smacks me in the face
everytime I walk in
that place
Reality
torment continues
uninvited
unexpected
unecessarily
Reality
it is time to go
I feel the flow
I felt the call
It was "given" to me
THIS REALITY
is RIGHT
I KNOW!!!!

Innocence Lost
I can't relive my life
I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done
There is no going back
I chased a selfish dream
Did not survey the cost
Illusions disappeared
I've found my innocence lost
Some say it's lessons learned
Some say it's a living life
I say it's choices made
Knowing wrong from right
One night I fought to sleep In my slumber
I turned and tossed
I woke to a cloudy day
And found my innocence lost
Innocent child is a beautiful thing
Secure in her father's arms
Sleeps while a mother sings
There's no way to know
All the harm this world can bring
I miss my innocence
Oh, to be innocent My heavenly Father
The way of eternal love
That overflows with grace
I can completely trust
My broken heart repaired
And all my sin forgot
I can be pure again
In spite of my innocence lost
In his eyes I'm a newborn child
'cause I accept his love
I have a newfound hope
Though I've found my innocence lost
I can be pure again
I've found my innocence lost
Amy Grant...Innocence Lost
I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done
There is no going back
I chased a selfish dream
Did not survey the cost
Illusions disappeared
I've found my innocence lost
Some say it's lessons learned
Some say it's a living life
I say it's choices made
Knowing wrong from right
One night I fought to sleep In my slumber
I turned and tossed
I woke to a cloudy day
And found my innocence lost
Innocent child is a beautiful thing
Secure in her father's arms
Sleeps while a mother sings
There's no way to know
All the harm this world can bring
I miss my innocence
Oh, to be innocent My heavenly Father
The way of eternal love
That overflows with grace
I can completely trust
My broken heart repaired
And all my sin forgot
I can be pure again
In spite of my innocence lost
In his eyes I'm a newborn child
'cause I accept his love
I have a newfound hope
Though I've found my innocence lost
I can be pure again
I've found my innocence lost
Amy Grant...Innocence Lost
innocence
I remember that day...
I was only 13
submerged....
emerged.....
in the face of innocence
Clean
pure
with a will to do good
I was only 13
but I understood it then
just like now
It was and IS simple
but somewhere in between
lifes immoralities took hold
angry
cynical
denial
disbelief...
but in the end....
drawn back
to
the age of innocence
the "flower girl"
that drops the rose petals....
