Closed for repair

You entered me
making me a home for you
a home away from home
running from whatever
sweeping me along in the tide
the sea wind blowing in my ears
the salty taste of you... breach bred
closeting ourselves away
pillowed on the rough carpeting
unfinished tapestry of life's embroidery
you replaced me with suddeness
denying what I had been and was
refusing to acknowledge me
the one you gave birth to
now I write you out of me
refuse to cook what you'd enjoyed
accepting my freedom
my aloneness with myself
yesterday you were everything
today... nothing is left
the entrance is closed...

Joy is best shared

Nothing feels so blessed as being able to share our abundance with others and to allow the joy it brings to spread through you. To remember that when we receive, to share. To not be in fear that we will not have enough, but believe of you as our source of supply in all things.

Let us also remember an attitude of gratitude for all that we receive. Teach us Oh Lord how to share joyfully for everything we receive in life is a gift from you who is unlimited and help us to teach others through our own actions.

Show us how to value what we have, that each day is a blessing to be embraced and not to squander it while we wait for better, more abundant times or more success or whatever it is we feel will make us happy. The best time is always now. It is the gift of the present.

It does not mean that we should not prepare ourselves for the future, but that we should not be all consumed by it and forget to be joyful in the now. Today cannot be relived, so make the most of it you can. Do not lock your treasures away in darkness thinking to save them for the tomorrows that may not come but live in the light of God exposing all that you have to His blessings.

Remember what is most valuable to us cannot be bought, but lives in our friends and family. Spend time joyfully with those you care about. Show your love, share it abundantly in the today for tomorrow may never come or those that you do not have time for now may not have time for you later.

We teach what we live. When we teach faith in all things, to reach out, to share, to be joyful, to take time for others and especially for God we then have our treasures in each day of our life and appreciate fully the gift of today.

The gift of giving of ourselves is always a choice and the most precious thing we can give. Live it now, do it now, share it now, and be joyful in the now and always be grateful in the now. This is God's gift to you, enjoy it.

Missing

Oh, I miss loving you
miss holding you close
feeling your warmth
pressing against me
miss waiting
for your infrequent
kisses
the loneliness
when you didn't show
the wondering
where you were
when I was alone
I miss seeing you
the sound of your voice
the joy just
being near you
the pain after you were gone
and mostly
I miss
missing
you....

Life as an example

God sends us many angels in our lives, some we recognize at once, others we realize only after the fact but they all come to teach us something we need to learn in our life. Sometimes to prepare us for a new chapter or a new path. Sometimes to become our sister or our friend, to lead us in a new direction, to fill an empty space, to heal an old wound.

They may come in all shapes and forms but always sent just at the right time to fill a purpose we ourselves might not even recognize. I have been blessed with many angels, some have stayed briefly and others have become as family and enrich my spirit for life.

Some I often wonder about. Where they are, what they are doing and I wonder if they too think of me. They have all left their imprint on my life and I would not be the person I am today without them. I am grateful for each and every angel that God has given to me.

Some say, I have been an angel to them. If so it is because God has a purpose to our meeting and whatever I did that made a difference, an impression or influenced them in any way was directed and choreographed by God. I was simply a tool He used for the message He was sending and I am grateful that He was able to use me to help others.

We often don't realize we are making a difference ourselves, we are just going where God is leading us. I look forward to each day, each path along the way, for the new angels I have yet to meet and for my own opportunities to touch others as God allows.

I will always try to be my best as I never know when I am being used as a lesson for others so I choose to live as if I am, at all times. To be loving, forgiving, open to assist, to remember that all that we do and how we behave is a reflection on who we are and choose to be. Let me be but a reflection of God's love, a shadow cast in His footsteps, a flower's opening to new beginnings, the rain that touches souls when it falls.

Ignoring Tomorrow

I put off tomorrow
as long as I could
ignored the knocking
and the pounding too
but it came nonetheless
as I knew it would

Fruity

Men plant their seeds
within us
I guess that's why
they call it
the fruit of the womb
when you're pregnant
when you're no longer
a virgin
they say you lost your cherry
lipsticks and douches
now come in fruit flavors
to make them more palatable
your penis entered
the fruit between my legs
I wash my hair
to smell clean and fruitful
they should call the fragrances
fertile apricot, horny honey
sensual strawberry,
then we would shampoo
all over
so you could taste
the fruit of us
the men should be
watermelon flavored
for all the seediness
they carry within themselves
they say you're a real peach
if they like you
sometimes though
you get sour apples
or they give you the rasberry
fruity world
I'm full of fruity thoughts
must be I'm ripe...

Popcorn

My thoughts are pregnant
they keep growing
month after month in size
with remembrances of you
they should be coming
into full term soon...
translucent pictures
of gossamer dreams
each grain is ripening
ready to puff up
like popcorn...
