walking down the road I slipped
skidded on pride
almost died
looked down
someone left a banana peel
cool
got up again
down a broken way
saw a puddle
jumped
right in
mud everwhere
showered with scum
down inthe slum
for a while
I stayed.
Then one day
the buggy man ran, won
run me out of town
thought I was done
till I got a ride
on the other side
where there are fields
of buds
blossoms
ready to burst
with sweet frangce
beauty from ashes..

and speak

without a sense of defeat -
but man that gal

A knife twisted the attempt and the deed defeats us. A river forged blood let blood washed all guilty brainwashed by decaying dreams and nightmarish bliss accuses us all: how much did we know?
The Light in your Heart
The Light in your Heart That light within can never go dim never be snuffed out nor tossed about into the sea to swim or sink. That light within cannot be dismissed on a whim because it insists that it must exist where there is life. That light within can be renew on a hymn of thanksgiving for the love you display when you encourage it to stay. That light within lifts up your heart each day requiring a new start to all that you are and all the possibilities it brings. This is the light in your heart...
