The solace of a broken watermain
The day before yesterday the plumber came
to examine my drain
with the water running into it
day and night
he looked at me
I looked at him
its not coming from the pipes he said
it could be from under your concrete slab
or a broken pipe in your walls
either option sounded dreadful to me
I pictured mining under my house
or removing half my bathroom
I rang the insurance
$1,500 maximum cover
but he said dig down
beside the drain
and we will get a closer look
at that flow
call me back
Yesterday I dug
and there it was
the entry point for water
to my house
burst
miraculously
finding its way through the drain housing
and into the drain
plumber returned
easy fix
best Xmas present
a man could have
Merry Xmas all :)

I is for Immanuel,"God with Us," always,
S is for the Shepherds who came to worship him,
T is Tidings of joy the angel brought to them,
M is for His Mother Mary, the handmaid of the Lord,
A is for Adoration by the three wise men from the East,

Post Commentonline today!I saw the light
I remember the light, beckoning me home, the promise of love,I wont be alone, so I followed the light, in wonderment and awe, now Ill tell you where I went and what I saw, a tunnel I followed, with light at the end, come into our world my dearest friend, there were people there at the end of the light, to hold me close, to hold me tight, I felt that they loved me, they welcomed me home, to be with them and never alone, so I stayed, and grew to know, this is how it is,, this is so,, thats how it was, but then I died, I saw the the light,,, a tunnel of love, I'd been there before, I know what that means,, its not what it seems.

My NFTs
My NFTs is my faith,
You keep yours to yourself,
I keep mine in others,
Who believes in my NFTs.
It is not about me,
It is about you,
And everybody else,
Who are all behind me and my NFTs.
Dont try to make me sad or angry,
Because now i got a reason to be hungry,
To show what I am capable of ,
with my creative flair in my NFTs.

online today!Seeking Peacefulness
Is the pursuit of peacefulness worthwhile
Such as I discover in watching others
There is genuinely warmth in my smile
When I greet everyone as a brother
If the sun always shines somewhere
Does that mean my dreams are always possible
Not only for my own success is all I really care
Whatever mind my will makes unstoppable
Mistakes only make me want to press on
Get over them and beyond their past and dread
Just as each new day will bring a dawn
So why not enjoy brighter skies that still lie ahead
I think well of myself and life and peace
To live in harmony with all of God's creatures
Let me not take away nor rob and fleece
Just let creation portray all my features
Peace is always found in time and space
With faith and truth be the best I can be
All I really need to do is share my grace
And promise to be true to the best in me
Such as I discover in watching others
There is genuinely warmth in my smile
When I greet everyone as a brother
If the sun always shines somewhere
Does that mean my dreams are always possible
Not only for my own success is all I really care
Whatever mind my will makes unstoppable
Mistakes only make me want to press on
Get over them and beyond their past and dread
Just as each new day will bring a dawn
So why not enjoy brighter skies that still lie ahead
I think well of myself and life and peace
To live in harmony with all of God's creatures
Let me not take away nor rob and fleece
Just let creation portray all my features
Peace is always found in time and space
With faith and truth be the best I can be
All I really need to do is share my grace
And promise to be true to the best in me

About this poem:
Reflections about finding moments of peace and solitude.
The Man Is In The Moon Again
The clouds are moving fast tonight
There's a fast southernly blowing wind
Other than that everything is quiet
And the man is in the moon again
All of a sudden something stirred up the frogs by the pond
I guess it's time for me to be moving on
With my little dog he's my best friend
And as we look up the man is in the moon again
Off in a distance I see a few lights in the little town
And farther still I hear this faint sound
In a little while the train will be coming round the bend
And as we quickly cross the tracks the man is in the moon again
There's a fast southernly blowing wind
Other than that everything is quiet
And the man is in the moon again
All of a sudden something stirred up the frogs by the pond
I guess it's time for me to be moving on
With my little dog he's my best friend
And as we look up the man is in the moon again
Off in a distance I see a few lights in the little town
And farther still I hear this faint sound
In a little while the train will be coming round the bend
And as we quickly cross the tracks the man is in the moon again

Burnout
I used to work a 40 hour week for a livin
But now it's 54 hours this week
66 hours next week
Lots of extra money
But
I don't care about all of that
All I really want is my forty hours a week back
The money does add up
For those who enjoy being there then good for them
I don't like that place at all
It really is painful for me to be there any hours above the 40
Pain from the mean people, my hurt knees, feet, back, and head
Lack of sleep
Just being tired of being around all these fellas I'd wish I had never known
With the dollar losing it's value daily
It's no wonder many feel that working 40 hours a week for a livin
Just ain't a livin
It's just scraping by
But now it's 54 hours this week
66 hours next week
Lots of extra money
But
I don't care about all of that
All I really want is my forty hours a week back
The money does add up
For those who enjoy being there then good for them
I don't like that place at all
It really is painful for me to be there any hours above the 40
Pain from the mean people, my hurt knees, feet, back, and head

Just being tired of being around all these fellas I'd wish I had never known
With the dollar losing it's value daily
It's no wonder many feel that working 40 hours a week for a livin
Just ain't a livin
It's just scraping by

About this poem:
There has a been a crunch at work lately, for the most part it has been pretty low on overtime in the last three years.Concierto de Aranjuez
A seafood risotto
mussels, mushrooms, a little salt
I'm pouring a little Cabernet
listening to Chet Baker and Paul Desmond
on Jim Hall's album Concierto
the tune Concierto de Aranjuez
if you haven't already
do it tonight
do it for your soul
don't let life slip by
without at least one listen
masterful

About this poem:
park life in the driveway, pour a little wine and listen
online today!who turns the earth?
The sky is ragged
And stars
Got visible in the holes.
The smell of rain
Has become
The only perfume for your soul.
You are canning summer air
In jars
So that November
Could be slightly diluted
With joy of June,
With shooting stars of August,
The tender sea waves of July
And love of March and April.
You preserve your thoughts,
Dreams and feelings
To open all the jars
On the New Year"s eve.
So in a kaleidoscope of emotions
You are the one who turns the earth..
And stars
Got visible in the holes.
The smell of rain
Has become
The only perfume for your soul.
You are canning summer air
In jars
So that November
Could be slightly diluted
With joy of June,
With shooting stars of August,
The tender sea waves of July
And love of March and April.
You preserve your thoughts,
Dreams and feelings
To open all the jars
On the New Year"s eve.
So in a kaleidoscope of emotions
You are the one who turns the earth..
