Halloween

Through my neighborhood I go
Down each driveway ever so
Only houses with a light
Shining on their porches bright

Meeting up with all my friends
hope the fun it never ends
Some are dressed up like a fairy
Others like a monster scary!

Parents not too far behind
All the neighbors are so kind
Bowls of candy filled with treats
Some are bitter, others sweet

Got a toothbrush over here
Haunted house right over there
Little ghosts in spooky trees
What happens I can’t wait to see

Laughing mat where I should stand
Hairy slimy monster hand
Spider webs are everywhere
I’m not an easy child to scare

Jack o lantern faces glowing
Flickers cause the wind is blowing
Grave stones where they weren’t before
Maybe I’ll go pass that door

well it is that time again
Halloween comes to an end
and once it’s all been checked by mother
I’ll Trade some candy with my brother.

Conflict...

Have you ever taken a look at yourself and wondered what to do next? Knowing what weighs on your heart and knowing what is on your mind and certain of one thing “never shall the twain meet” So what do you do? Follow the heart that guides with raw and doubting emotion or the head filled with practical, matter a fact reasons?...alas I am in limbo. Unsure of the next step, unsure of the fallout, simply and complicatedly unsure...

I woke up cranky

Today started much like the last few days, cold! I wondered where fall went... I missed the leaves changing, the beauty of the season and as such I was cranky. It didn't help to see the weather man all smiles saying "today is going to be a lovely day..." it's barely 30 degrees I thought, who spiked your coffee! As I mustered up the courage to leave the little warmth of my bed it dawned on me "I was cranky" that was the tone of my thoughts, my heart and as such would be the tone of my day...if I let it. So I decided to take the seemingly delusional perspective of the weather man and smiled...tell you a secret, it worked, today has been a beautiful day!

Check...

Every freindship will be tested, the question is; how much has one invested. If one should determine the moves much like the game of chess should one castle in an effort to defend what remains or leave their king open for check mate? That is what I ponder today and I suppose as the night draws near I may find my thoughts to be trivial but still the chance remains I may not and until the moment of clarity beyond reasons breaks through this whirl of emotion I shall simply contemplate and what shall be, will be. Afterall life is a game of unpredictable moves and counter moves and only God knows the result of it all.

Question

Why?....or better still....why not?....

Brown Eyes

Through those eyes so beautiful and wide
I see you
Standing yet shaken
From thought not awaken
Full of dreams yet void of hope
Alive yet not living
Daring yet afraid
Woe those choices you have made

Anger keeps you in his grip
This poison you so freely sip
Choking your youth
Your warmth, your grace
Break free and let me in
This tyrant must not win

Use those eyes so vibrant and wise
To see and you’ll be surprised
The faces that will come to view
All of them with tears for you
Moved by your plight
Ready to help you fight

Open your eyes beyond the now
And you will see just when and how
You will rise above this day
Just choose another way
Share this burden that you bear
Let me in, I truly care

Too smart to see this road as wise
Too smart to listen to his lies
Too smart not to lift your head up

Dream big and work for every drop
Live your gifted life by sewing fruitful crop
To be Gods own son
To change the course you’re on
To rise, you’re too smart not to be wise

Use those beautiful brown eyes and you will see me
Hear and believe me
I wish you victory in battle
To be so true you won’t unravel
For love to overflow your every being
Let me in so I can see what you are seeing

I can help you through your pain
Through this never ending rain
To see the rainbow that God made, just for you
Unlock there retched gates and let me through

So I can wipe away those tears
Help with the burden of your years
Find a way to heal so you may grow
I’ll always be here for you, hope you know

Time

I don't want to turn back time
what is lost cannot be mine
not the whisper nor the sigh
nor the laughter or the cry
be it chance or be it fate
it is not mine to debate
time will only move in one direction
I simply choose to treasure each connection
all the lessons I will learn
every gift within each turn
the moments that are worthy of recall
I treasure every moment big and small
lifes lessons and lifes blessings one and all
