You may see him standing,
In the white glare of the Sunlight,
On wind-blasted panes of ice;-

A Winters' Sea compressed,
To float across the salty emptyness.

Now the Bear stands as a symbol;-
As solar light returns to white;-

Above a lattice artifice,
A crazed and crumbling edifice;-
The ice floes crashing to the sea,
From all the melting glaciers.

Swan Song

It's a very old story.
Seems to happen
when someone confuses
wanting to be loved
with being in love.

You wanted me to love you.
I obliged.
Then, joyously
you set about
building for me
a lovely cage,
polishing the image
you would to see
of me,
encouraging always
my approach
of your ideals.

But you never loved me as I am.
nor saw me as I was.
You kept your vision focused
instead
on how you wanted me
to be.

I have slept
a very long while,
but my dreams
will not lay down,
and I've wakened,
strangely wearied.
I long to be seen and loved
as I am
and I want you
to be well and happy--
because I still love you
just the way you are
even
as
I leave you.

September
how many memories you will carry to me
just while a fresh air envelops me
I get a flying tear in the wind
it will talk to me about young summers and springs gone by
You know I bear a pain inside
it will talk to me about young nights full of starry skies and broken hearts
September yes I can remember
it's a sad thought about going out stars so ending nites at the dawn of a new day
it will talk to me about a beginning of a new life
the leaves fall the air is colder
the incoming snow storm will not scare me September you will not stop me
you arrived right now.. but can't say how
you are already so far away from me, take away my pain
now I know I have not loved in vain

A moment, captured in time.

She has lines of worry and stress,
Her eyes clouded and sad.

And yet, in that moment so many years ago, the lines were of laughter and her eyes sparkled with hope, looking at the beautiful baby in her arms.

A moment, forever printed for the world to see.

His eyes show the sorrows of being alone, his hands show how hard he worked.

And yet, in that moment in print, His eyes hold the pride of being a dad, his strong arms and hands hold his son high with joy.

How precious is that moment in time, when we no longer have the subject, but only get to hold the print.

Remember to live, love, laugh and take a photo.

My dad was in the Navy
He went to Italy and Iceland
He served from 1954 to 1958
He didn't like Iceland because it was so dark part of the year
He regretted not staying in
Especially when his company cancelled his retirement pension in 1981
At the time he made his decision he was making good money
Better than he got paid in the Navy
How was he supposed to know the unions would get creamed
He is not alone
Sadly, many veterans don't get the support they should have
I hope that could change
Maybe next year
We will elect a president who really cares about these people
As much as they care about all of us

People, what is happening to us?
Conscience under anesthesia,
And the souls have gone blind
Every day there is less and less
Honor,
Less and less light

We're going with the flow
And our hope fades
We're burning down
Filling our emptiness
With fragments of faith.

I'm standing on the edge of the abyss
And my scream breaks
The vanity of existence
Turning melancholy into words.

Seldom since the morning glory
Glistened in the sunny glow
When dew has largely turned
To frost the first we such know

The season come the season go
There’s little time left this year
Days grow short nights grow long
Once thing stands up so clear

Snow flurries fall on days so grey
Which covers evenly on the ground
Leaves have fallen and limbs left bare
Only the wind makes some sound

Here we’ve arrived and here we go
The end of autumn and start of winter
The stacks of wood piled so neatly
The kindling all chopped to splinter

People are coming
And leaving our life
Just like trains...
Hypocritical ones and real,
For a moment , like playing games...
Some will go deep
Into your soul
Whilst the others
Are like a going away smoke...
Coming... leaving...
Both leave a mark
In your heart.
But one day
When some of them
Will knock into your door
You will quietly say-
Sorry, there is no space
For you anymore.....

1. Self-Defense Martial Arts may not be that
which fits U.
Whatever it is once U start never give-up,
never stop until U reach your finish line.
Remained focused just like a picture camera.
Once your camera produces your negatives
U can reproduce the same new U
over and over and over again.

2. Marriage Is A Covenant!


3. I remember watching a Law Enforcement show on TV.
One of the men that worked in that department
he told his own past account true story concerning his Marriage.
He first was a soldier in the army in his foreign country,
when he was a youngster.
What he did 2 his wife had fatally broken their holy covenant of marriage.
Heb 13:4
He had told his wife that he had an affair with another woman.
When she heard what he had said 2 her
she had left him divorcing him forever.
Her mom & dad never raised their daughter
to be another man's spare tire.

4. A lot of moms & dads all over the world raise their children
in church they learn from an early age,
earthy parents of the Savior Joseph & Mary
had never once had cheated on one another.
Those 2 were together until death did them both apart.

the commandment 2 the man in Hebrews 13:4 means:
That married man is 2 go out of his 2 keep his marriage bed clean
not inviting other women get in 2 his bed with him.
To respect & honor the Covenant of Marriage between a man
and a woman.
When Mary was gone at the church fellowshipping
with her women friends Joseph never once invited
another woman into his bed behind Mary's back.

6. He wasn't no American or other foreigner
that had said in his mind to himself,
"my wife is gone she will never know that I had sex
with another woman, or I'm a big boss man at work,
my wife will never know I had sex with another woman
in my night office at work."
God is all knowing he had created the holy covenant of marriage
between a man and a woman, he sees every future event
way before it happens.

7. There is a percentage of women all over the world
that will Model their Covenant of Marriage
after Joseph and Mary.
When that man in Law Enforcement had admitted 2 his wife
that he had an affair with another woman,
that had broke his Covenant of Marriage he had with her
just like a window pane of glass gets broken
& shatters in 2 pieces.
That man had broken shattered his wife's heart in 2 pieces.
Once the eggs are scrambled
U cannot unscramble them.

8. This percentage of women will place their entire trust
in the man of her hopes and dreams,
that he wouldn't ruin that service & protection he had
went out of his way providing 4 her,
her marital trust she had placed in him.

9. When a United States Police Officer ruins the public trust
that the General Public had placed in him,
the Judge fires him for life, he is to never again
to serve and protect as a Police Officer.

10. In one past account I saw a judge on the news channel,
this police officer had ruined the general publics trust
they had placed in him, the judge had fired him for life
to never again to serve and protect as a Police Officer.




Public Servant Police Officer was allowed by the American Government 2 get away with murder!
To this very day & time mom & dads daughter
was forcibly taken away from them through his own home
foolishness! Psalms 38:5
There is a place designed 4-target practice!

Police Force because of this!

11. Ps: A lot of U.S. Citizens say that I'm crazy,
NO, I was just born in the wrong country.

your own age will try to stop you,

and a blind eye to it.

dream maker.

2.
Of course in time ladies after you graduate out of the women's
recovery home, as an added idea you could take self-defense
and the Martial Arts like Ronda did.
This first video on Ronda and Alexa Bliss
this world holds an overloaded crowd of men
and women that after you've completed all your training,
they will come out of the wood work and still say that you're nothing
just like Alexa Bliss had said about Ronda.

This second one below runs almost 30-minutes
you get to see in real life the extent of how much Ronda had went
through to start and finish all her training.


3. Yes ladies there are two classes of men
that spread over our entire globe.
The first class of men:
They just sit and watch others spying on them
following them everywhere they go to find out what
their doing, this has been and will continue to
their career.
This class of men will never become nothing
because they're always chasing other men and women
for the wrong reasons.
They spend their whole lives being a pair of binoculars.

4. This second class of men which are very few
they choose to motivate themselves shutting
everyone else out.
In other words after they've long graduated
they continue on with their schooling.
They refuse the eat and drink and be merry crowd of men,
they're focused on what's been promised to them -- "FINISH, WHAT
YOU HAD STARTED AND DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU REACH
THAT FINISH LINE."
While you're on your personal journey of study
you will run into that crowd of men that will try to change from a winner
into a loser, you have to turn a deaf ear to them
and a blind eye to them, they are nothing to you!
This class of men have chosen Laziness as their new career
hundreds of years ago, just refuse to join them!

5. And don't allow anyone interfere and disturb your personal learning
as you did when you were in regular public school.
Remember your teachers had kept the door
to the classroom shut to keep out all distractions
from what she was teaching you.

times a week.

for the rest of their lives.


The Orient refuses to slow down in age when old age comes,
they refuse to become as slow as the turtle,
their different exercises they do no amount of money
cannot buy.

doesn't catch-up with you.
You have to choose to remain as fast as a Jack Rabbit,
in your fight against the turtle that wants you
to mirror him.
