Mrs. Lawrence was our neighborhood Candy Lady

Her business was just four houses north of ours

Allowance, report card, and birthday money didn’t last long in our jars!

We’d spend most of our pay and life savings

On penny candy and after...

My connecting fight home was delayed at BWI by three hours, so I walked to the Observation Gallery

Updatingreports and responding toemails after hours earning more than my salary

A man was sleeping on a bench a few feet from me with no shoes on

NOTE: We all have something that is

bringing us down!!! Some struggle,

situation or issue. GOD has blessed me

with a Gift!!! So, this is yours as well as

myself MANTRA into 2026!!!

Even through the HARD TIMES,

YOU GOT TO BE STRONG,

Some people deal

with darkened nights, but

you see that's OK,

What they are in need of is

guidance to help and light the way,

So, why don't you come

out of the darkness, into

HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT TODAY,

I hope that in the Darkened Nights,

wished upon a star
unseen in the blackness of the night
clouds present
yet unseen
the wind rattles the shutters outside my window
and the stubborn part of me wished anyway
just get through to the morning
everything will be better
and brigh...

Anticipating your presence

Longing to reconnect

Mind and body ...call collect

yearn like waves riding winds

seeking shore

rising, falling

Our appetite for love calling
…awaiting your answering cry

our facial expressions

speaking signs...

You may be in a place of hurt,regret,disappointment,failure, or pain.

Do yourself a favor

In the morning after washing up standing in the the mirror in the nude

Remember, the person you see is powerfully constructed to make it through any...

To those who continue to believe in life.

Life never ends for us As long as we co-exist

It continues through our loved ones

Family and/or friends. Even as

Our chest cavity rises falls like waves

Breaking upon the shores

As ou...

Bon soleil…

a person

Any one of us

Able to view a magnificent sunrise.

Overlayed with a plan of what to do next.

Or if there is no plan.

No need to project a schedule of priorities,

procure a supply of food

for the body, mind, sp...

Full moon rising
casting shadows with a glow so bright

breaking the silence
i hear catfish jumping in the dark

As the nightbirds cries and crickets calling
don't let me be lonely tonight

A lone wolf heard over the Desert wind

Abacus To calculator. We rise, beat drums

send smoke signals through land lines

To cellphones

Stone circles to sundials

a gift of a discerning eye utilizeda compass

by harnessing magnetism

a simple lens

evolving to binoculars ...

A single kiss
A single chord played on the guitar

a drumbeat rhythm rocked the cradle
of my consciousness

Elevated my mood
a step or two… much to my delight

My perspective grasp
grew by exponential leaps

releasing greater potential...

You are a mountain

Yes, You stand strong,

Conquering any obstacles,

Any that come along,

you possess such strength,

You are stable and tall,

You are built to last, and

To Challenge it All!!!

Mountains do crumble,

From time to time,

Imagine 365 tv monitors in a large room

Each one tuned to different stations

volume turned up to the sky

spreading the news

Or Is it...

Just more of the daily Blues

Cain and Abel stories
magnified

In every dimension

What animal is older than dinosaurs, but lives in the mud?

Has no ears, lungs, or blood?

But they can swim, have two stomachs, steal and own slaves, and can lift 20 to 50 times their own weight!

A few can even make honey, if they vomit ne...
