Stream of Rambling-ness

Sometimes life can bring you
Down to your knees
Nothing to do but
Keep your head up and breathe

Begging please
Pleading for a way
To make the pain go away

So stand on your feet
Brush off your wounds
Just look up and say
Thank you for this gift today

Wake up and say
I’m on my way
Step into the pain
Don’t let it get in your way

Stand by your word
It speaks for itself
No one can bring you down
So turn around and walk on

I always knew that inside
I had what it takes to make it
I knew I would get there someday
Hold on, baby, everythings
Gonna be all right

Used to hiding my face
Gotta have me to myself
I can’t have me close enough
Learning who it is
Behind my mask

Watching the rain
Washing away the pain
It’s a new day
Not looking back
It would be so unfair
To deny that place and time
Hold on and go on
Walk through the flames
Doing it anyway
If you dare you can fly
Just get to know
Let it take over
Dream a little dream

Unlock the chains
And set him free
Star of the show
Not just a pretty face
Steppin out of the dark
On into the light
Having what it takes

Hold on
No matter how long
Faith got me through the years
Praying to get by

Ten More

Know, good, time, heart, really, reach, deep, twisted, meander, step

Not just another pretty face
Stepping out of the dark
And into the frying pan

On my way
Who knows where
Reaching deep

On this twisted and
Meandering road
The question is

I don’t know how
Nobody’s perfect
Side step

Jumping in the face
Of common sense
I have none

Know in my heart
Not a question
Of sense

I just know it
Always had the sense
Uncommon

Good or bad
Careful what you ask
It’s already been answered

Everybody’s got to do it
Work your own way through it
C’est la vie

That’s how it’s gonna be
Hold tight
It’s gonna be a bumpy ride

A really bumpy ride
I was just looking for a
Good time

Ten Words - Multiple posts

Breathing, quiet
Trying to maintain my
Focus
Shut the world out
Be part of the plan
I toil and grind
They want to keep me hungry and
Stupid
That is the truth
In my mind’s eye
Is a different reality
No medal will be given for my
Dreams
My bravery will set me free
The hour is now - to
Step into the fiery flame
And emerge unscathed
Ok a little bit
Scandalized
A stir does not
Worry me
Mystify, sanctify
Clarify my destiny
Words from Glo-ria
Circling in my mind
Round and round
I have been complicit
In my unhappiness
I agree to be quiet and
Be a yes she-man
Bobble head
Fuck you with every bow
Yes she man ma’am
Fuck you
Anyhoo, I digress
My challenge
Same as ever
Be the one to inspire
Me
It starts at home my dearie
Listen and learn
For once


Garden

dismay

I reflect quietly on the garden that is
My life
Dismayed and amused at what has become
Salvaged by the skin of my teeth
Hovering somewhere in between
Still trying to decide
Whether or not to
Fly
My indecision, my commitment, has been effective
Under the radar
Enjoying the view and my wine
From the shoreline
I don’t like cold water anyway
However
I refuse to believe that
This
Is all there is
Like my Lily I am still growing
My wings
Still reflecting
What was it that I wanted the most
My freedom
Liberty



Roll
Ask
Acquire
Give
Submit
Forgive
Listen
Fillet
Mask
flame

I sit like the fat cat
Enjoying my spoils
Licking my fingers
Living the give me life
The rolls on my bloated body
Remind me that I have acquired
More than wealth
I cower behind my mask
Darting to and fro
Never bothering to ask
Why
Filleting my guts for all the world
To see
I submit to thee
Quiet for just one moment
Listen
Focus on the flame
And I forgive you
If it happens again

wild, technology, found, reply, boredom, eccentric, knight, quality, tend, slope

Ok you wild child
Turn off your toys
Eschew your technology
The silence will not kill you
For no one ever died of
Boredom
In my mind’s eye
The sexy eccentric knight
With long flowing hair
Rushes in like a hurricane
To whisk me away
On his black horse
Of course
No need for envy or lust or greed
For I have found my prince
Straight into the wind
No bowing out now my friend
It’s a slippery slope one travails
When you get what you ask for
Careful now, you might just get it
Wink wink, the law of the universe
Is in your face
Careful now
What you do unto others
Has already been done
To you
Tend to your own garden
My dear
It will bring you riches
Beyond your imagination
The quality of your desire
Will become clear
Steady hum beneath all that exists
No need for a reply
It always listens
And responds
You asked and you shall receive
Ready or not
Here I come

Next ten: normal, white, heart, hunger, circle, create, right, branch, skip, hole



I skip along gaily
The bright white heat in my heart
Burns a hole
Yearning
Hungering
Learning to be free

Circle of life
My destiny
Thy will be done
My quest to be
So called
Normal
Turned on its head
From the very
Beginning

Question from the start
No right or wrong
Which way to branch out
Stop
Look
Listen
Create what you feel
Follow the light
See where it leads you
That is the lesson
It is the journey not
The destination
