SWITCH

Last night I thought my head would explode-
but sleep and excedrin seemed to break it's tight hold.
Feel my relief.
SWITCH

Morning light, blurry dirfting sleep-
to day running like mad.
Feel my heart beat.
SWITCH

Eating and drinking as the rains' pouring down-
then sweating in the sun with my sunglasses on.
Feel my skin warm.
SWITCH

Walking into a hall, everyones' standing at the side -
stepping onto the center, people gather close by.
Feel my deep sigh.
SWITCH

Today I might think things are loss or in vain -
but tomarrow they could become new yet again.
Some things I can change and others cannot -
taking a step to flip them is better than not.
Hear my reply.

Rainy Day

A Friend of ours tragically lost his little niece yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.


I wish it were sunny today -
then maybe the news on the front page wouldn't seem so sad.
I wish it were sunny today -
then the light coming in my window might chase away the sad.
I wish it were sunny today -
then the warmth of the light would fill up my heart.
I wish it were sunny today -
so that the reign of meloncholy wouldn't have a place to start.

Sad rain, sad news makes me want to put on walking shoes --
and keep walking till I feel warm spring sunshine on my face again.

That's Entertainment!

Went to the theater today and caught the trailer for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It stars Angelina Jolie. And she wears a garter belt. This may possibly be the greatest movie ever made.

2 peas in a pod

I was taking with a friend about a couple that have been married for years (at least 40) and I noticed how tenderly he spoke about his wife that broke her wrist earlier this week. He still calls her "Sweetheart" and you can tell he means it by the look in his eyes. It really touched my heart.


Two peas in a pod
Two peas in a pod - so cozy and close.
A lifetime of memories cacooned us just so.
Travels through Europe two time over, and
once to the west coast to make sure that we're covered.

Everything big and everything small.
Everything now seem so small so meek,
when I compare how lost I feel without
you beside me.

So many people searching so hard to find
a love that is lasting, caring and kind.
I've found what their longing and wishes fulfill-
a love that grows over a lifetime lived to the full.
Care for your loved ones, hold them all dear
as illness, anger or death can make them disappear.

Show you love the best that you can,
then you can tell stories like mine and sweet Mary Ann's.

For Frank

"It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a personality of my own"

Heres a little something to clear out my writing cobwebs. Enjoy!

Anagram #1

T-ime fills up and empties out too fast. That is something I can't get past. Ticking, tocking and draining like grains of sand.
Wishing and wanting to hold onto it with my two hands. Time marches on, today's almost past. Live life to the full. Don't let it get past.

A-rt provides a place for me, with color and content - a kaleidoscope that's free. Free from limits and free from time. Art is only limited by my imagination and mind.

R-elationships with others: taking, sharing and supporting each heart. Important and precious, but perilous to start. Beginning again seems as possible as finding a four leaf clover that really works ... how impossible. Not starting is really the only impossibility. Relationships are like H20 to me.

A-ngles, direction and GPS. How do I know what way is the best? Prayer, petition, planning and pride - push me on to pursue what is muddled to find. I'll sit on these steps of the journey familiarly new, hoping to come to a place to renew. Reflect on the faces that were once all brand new, remember the lessons that have brought me to you. Rhyme, reflection and some revision help me take the next steps on my traveling commission
