Road Kill

Used lovers
on the side
of the road
dying, trying
to hitch a ride
left without
a goodbye
on the highway
of broken hearts

Bronze

It was our Olympics
of love, going for gold
I came in a distant third
and took home the bronze
a meager reward
for selling my soul....

Dust

I'm dust today
ashes of a former
self, drying up
and fading away

Take off the blinders

Sometimes we run from ourselves in obvious or obscure ways. We deny the truth of our actions until we either wake up or are forced to recognize events out of our control. Sometimes God intervenes in a myriad of ways causing us to awaken to the truth.

Sometimes angels are dispatched to save us. Sometimes we ask for help and at times others do it for us, through thought, through prayer, whatever it takes to get us there.

In order to complete the change we must want it and accept the responsibility of our actions. We must look truth in the face and own it. Only then can we accept another way, a better way, a more spiritual way to live.

Only when we admit wrong can we ask to be pardoned, to be shown the way out of the darkness and into the light. Only when we value ourselves will we be valued.

Remember to ask, for only when you ask, will you receive. If you don't knock how will anyone know you're at the door? If you don't seek, and know what you're looking for, how can you expect to find it? Or recognize it when you do?

Sometimes we're blind, deaf and dumb, and can't understand why our life doesn't get better. We can pass hundreds of signs along the way and fail to notice they say Stop! Danger Ahead! Sharp Curve! Dead End! It is time to take the blinders off. To see the truth, own the truth, accept the truth, and embrace the truth, so that we can change to a new and better truth of being.

To stop look and listen before we cross the road to the other side. To a better more conscious existence. One where we treat ourselves with love and not loathing. One where the authentic self we were created to be can shine. That we reflect the spirit of our creator that others many recognize it in themselves and be grateful for our passing their way.

Spare me

You might think
it wasn't love
but my broken
heart says otherwise
no words need
be spoken
spare me the goodbyes

Pain too is a gift

Let me take care of the pains of today so I can prepare for the joys of tomorrow. I need to work on my physical restrictions and a true assessment of all that exists so that I may work on strengthening them gradually as I have my faith and my inner spirit. Let the body show me the way, let the mind adjust, let the journey continue.

Bargain Shopping

Below the gallows
were used clothes
no longer needed
by those twisting
slowly in the wind
such bargains
not easy to find
