Poet, Questioner and Walker in darkness
Update:
I’m taking some time off from Bluesky. Taking classes, doing research, regrouping, refreshing, reading and writing. Maybe restarting my book.
Thankful for the wonderful followers and the freedom you gave me in writing without judgement.
I plan on checking in from time to time as I can.

The #Mystical Land of Poetry
Where understanding is mystery
And reality is no longer a secret
Where unconventional lives
In a tangled web of ideas
Where truth can be darkness
But vengeance has no place
Out of sync with time
A bending river
The truth sayer
Of the worlds pain

The world makes me
#Grumpy and depressed
It feels unsafe
Out of control
I’m saddened by the
Death and Destruction
And dismayed by
Its acceptance
???
An I just an echo
A whisper in the night
Where darkness surrounds
Maybe
But I write in the hope
That tomorrow is listening

Laughter
The medicine of life
Or the torment of another
Laughing with me or at me
Babies #laugh
Before they speak
Think about that
We were meant
To bring joy
To each other
And not division
Let the Sunbeams
Of Laughter, Serenity
And Compassion
Radiate through Us

When is a #prank
Not a prank
Pranks often let people know
You are different
Or less important
Everyone laughing at you
But the hurt and
Isolation are real
Accentuating the differences
That separate us
Putting out your light
To create changes
In a landscape
That is dormant

A #brownie or cake
Sweet pleasures
Of happy times
Our burdens swept away
And for a moment
We find comfort
Melting our hearts
And the innocent
Child can emerge
The freedom to
Stomp in the puddles
And get chocolate
On our face
The warmth of the
Day is all we feel

My Life Motto
The #rules are the rules
Until we break them
And we break them
All the time
For the golden rule
Of Love, Kindness
And Caring for all
Rules were meant
To be guidelines
To give structure
Questioning the rules is
Knowledge and Power
Against Tyranny

The #sass people of the world
They mistake your kindness
For being a gullible wimp
At best unkind
You’re just a convenient
Little snack
For their cruelty
Being truly human
Means sometimes
Walking away
And letting the anger
Wash over you
Choosing to stay
In the sunshine

The side eye
That #scowl look
Used to control
Feels like a
Death stare
Then back to their
Smiley face in public
So no one notices
What their putting you through
Behind the closed doors
A withering flower
With no water
Or sunlight
To bring it life
Trapped
Alone
With another

A Child’s Nightmare
Is it playfulness or meanness
Is it #mischief or bullying
We have all been there
The brunt of the joke
And once a target
It seems always a target
Rising above it
Is a long and hard process
But we must for our own sake
Learn from our hurt
The cold world

The stereotyped #sapphire
Known for its deep blue color
But it comes in many colors
Its depth rarely appreciated
Once our minds are fixed
Our glasses don’t
See in multi colors
The color has only one truth
Our perceptions
Our prejudices
Rarely changed
Stuck in our reality

The unappreciated #sparrow
Smaller than most
Yet it never gives up
Its persistence - its strength
Determined in the face of adversity
As it journeys
With its humble presence
Wandering tree to tree
Understanding that life
Is a delicate balance
Which it treasures
Believing in itself

Is it fate or #happenstance
Our destiny
Floating in clouds
Bouncing from one
Cloud to the next
The design changes
Without warning
As we float along
Just an adventure
Where decisions and desires
Are never a certainty
Floating in life
Letting the moment
Capture me

The Family Luncheon
The outward self:
Picture of happiness,
Contentment and agreement
The inner self:
A #crimson figure
Anger swelling inside
Made to feel useless
Like yesterday’s garbage
Smelly but tolerated
Until you can
Throw it out
Blood isn’t always
Thicker than water
