To the Departed

I wrote a letter held my pen to the paper. It brought new meaning, a great new feeling.
Faces lit up, mouths gaped wide.
It was evident that this message I carried, this thought of words was eagerly awaited.
It's amazing how each one of them, felt her impact, the desire to fulfill her legacy. 
The hearts that were touched. 
I did not expect them to laugh so sincerely, chuckle with a tinge of tears drooling down their dusted cheekbones.
They wrinkled with laughter, my smile backing theirs.
We were honored to celebrate her, to praise her soaring spirit.
I was proud to speak my mind, tell it like it is.
Plain and simple the way she lived her life.

A mile away

Photo courtesy of  Wrecked I have been there, already done that.  I had the test of time swaying me like a rocking boat.  In those silent waters. I saw the wicked, met the saints.  I crossed the bridge that was a hundred feet deep.  Lessons are learned when you dine your last supper. The bread mixed with wine, the stare of betrayal vivid across the hall.  Poison ivy, sweet and sour! That bitter taste fills the emptiness of an innocent soul. Preaching kindness, and laughter soars high. Picking up the pieces and trailing back home.  It's a mile away from the dark clouds. You weep and trudge on, stronger and the greatest gift of all, wiser!  Don't give up, its just a mile away!

But they found him, hidden amongst the thicket, glazed with dust and sprinkled water. Stranger in their eyes, he clasped his jewel in the palm of his hands, held onto it, like “manna” in the desert. Boa, stared right beneath their stare and saw the green look in their eyes. He knew he would be isolated, made into an alien in his own village. He saw the Bullets of war, polished with raw blood, sparkling in the dusty roads. Bruised bodies, emerging from the ground. The ground of riches, the earth of diamonds. Their fingers dripping with blood, diamonds clasped tightly in their arms. The crystal left them with broken arms, plunging faces coated with thin bones edging into their dusty skin. Boa knew he was next, to be hit hard with steel-iron, fired with greed. He swore to them he had nothing, tears curvi...

The Psychology of Man

Photo courtesy of  Advancedcognitivepsychology I found one of those ' Sacred   books '.  This book was special. The cover was not the 'usual' women's books. The kind that greets you with shiny sprinkled flowers and screaming pink petals. No, t he cover was a Man .   He stood there with his sassy smile, plain and simple, notably exhibiting signs that he was the author.  He dared me intuitively to open this condensed book, pages slightly below my usual huge feminine reams.  The opening statement was carefully crafted and i had a sudden cognitive urge to quickly flip through the book.... My oh my! the minute i got tagged onto the intro, I knew i was going to read this entire book!   Let's say it took me the whole day, to flip, gnaw, criticize, but yes i did it...read and got disturbed!  So this is dedicated to our girlfriends-sisters out there, who have been urging me to let this canon loose...! ...
