A State of Seedless Soil
I write this poem watching my neighbor.
INNER SUNSHINE.
We can make our own fate...
If Only..........
I have often wondered how old people have developed into the person they are physically..........different postures for different types of work.....and if they would change their past if they knew what lay ahead.........just a thought
Happy Birthday CS
I was on this site since 2011 and I have met so many on here both in virtual and real life. Love found me here and has provided me so much fun and joys as well as tears that went along with it. But all in all, it is a wonderful place and have met so many friends and continue on meeting so many good people on here. Thanks again CS
The Artist
A good friend asked me recently to teach her poetry. Rather she was serious or not I really didn't know what to say, so I quoted her something from Robert Frost which I also opened this verse with. Plutarch said " Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks " I dont consider myself a poet, just some guy who uses his pen as a paddle and the currents as my guide. What is poetry to you ?.. Cheers

The Dash
One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying. ~Joan of Arc~
WHITE PICKET FENCE
John 14:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
RELEASING DREAMS.....

Just a little rhyme I made up as I was feeding scraps to the birds .
life's reason........
I empathise for the people that struggle with that merry go round.......but when you introduce another life that changes everything ............
Believe
Faith moves mountains
IN THE KNOW
I MAKE IT MY PASSION TO LEARN AS MUCH AS I CAN, BEFORE I MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!
Happy memorial day
For our soldiers and when it says memorial, I hope it doesn't only honor those who died but also for the living who are going through more trauma as a result of their experience being in the war front.
Memorial day
We do not assail you from a heart of Arrogance, but we do battle to warn you Do not tread on these lands Our silver and gold are not yours for The taking, for they are forged from the Spirit of valor,and from the foot soldier Who fears not the

A LOVE SONG FOR THE BROKEN HEARTED, IN HOPES THEY CAN FIND A LOVE TO WALK HAND IN HAND THROUGH ETERNITY!
your my angel
When I look into your eyes its like looking into the eyes of a angel when I hear you speak its like I heard the angels from the heavens When I feel your touch it feels like the touch of faith It is truly what angels can do if you keep the faith
Swimming Out to Wedding Cake and Back.
Coogee - a Sydney beach. Wedding Cake Island - a small rocky atoll, about 1 km from shore, and about 6 to 8 feet above sea level. I did this when I was 23. I have my brother, and his two friends as witnesses to this - including a Mr EC, and a Mr PW - (who made and lost this bet with me). Other people I know wonder why I do not want to go skydiving. Might leave this for a bit later in life - like in the movie "The Bucket List".
Child within.
Time to relax .

Understanding
So, you think you've had it tough my friend.. And times seem rather bad... But life is what you make of it.. And if perchance you've had A series of misfortunes and you feel you want to die... Before you give the game away consider for a while..
If I
Just learned today that a dear friend passed away this month. RIP - I know you are with God now as I knew you had a great faith. Original statement: A friend of mine's mother passed away yesterday morning - this poem just came to me tonight.
THE PALE BLUE DOT
I have used Carl Sagan's Pale Blue dot speech as Inspiration, Carl's inspiration was ""....an image taken, at Sagan's suggestion, by Voyager 1 on February 14, 1990. As the spacecraft left our planetary neighborhood for the fringes of the solar system, engineers turned it around for one last look at its home planet. Voyager 1 was about 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) away, and approximately 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane, when it captured this portrait of our world. Caught in the center of scattered light rays (a result of taking the picture so close to the Sun), Earth appears as a tiny point of light, a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size."" (Source- http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-topics/earth/pale-blue-dot.html?referrer=https://www.google.co.uk/?referrer=http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-topics/earth/pale-blue-dot.html) , where ever possible I have used his words and shuffled them a bit and added a line here and there , to make the whole thing scan a bit better as a poem. I have taken a few liberties in places , but I acknowledge that freely, So I dedicate this Poem to the memory of the Late great Carl Sagan

How I Write A Poem
I take an idea Elusive thoughts, That I am thinking Try to nail them to the page Tear the sentences asunder Write them down, look and wonder At the emotion That they convey Is that the feeling Are all the words, revealing Just what I h

Becoming a man
1.Is this what you would become, A knight, a king, a god among? Guard your mind and yield to none, This is how the day is won. 2. Once you've begun a thing to do, Just make sure you finish too, Never let your passions rule, Pride and ang

When I Look At You
I wrote this poem about how certain qualities in people can touch our hearts and souls in ways we never thought possible and this is about a person in my life that has sadly passed away but they showed me many beautiful things from within their own soul and heart that left a lasting and profound impression on me that has never left me

ATTITUDE DICE....
We do not have complete control.......but we have the largest portion...and sometimes, consider fate knows best......
Presence
For that millisecond Between inspiration and expiration Between past and future Between unknowing and knowing Universes formed and dissolved Empires rose and fell Weight waited Matter mattered and mattered not And I was peace itse
SECOND CHANCES
Quite often in life, the timing isn't....'just right.' Second Chances.......are so important......sometimes comes with risk...
