Flee from the change that cripples your spirit.
Embrace the change that inspires your heart.
Hold dearly to your precious memorys ,to endure through the times that are dark.
And if you left thinking all is great, and good times are yours to the end.
You should be aware, and fully prepared,
Because change comes on like the wind.

Yesterday you were a memory in time
Today time appeared to stand still
While with an odor – sound – sight you were here
Thus yesterday again became very real

Feelings and visions tugged at my heart
Thus bringing grief to the front
Overpowering waves of memory rising
Sweeping my emotions with the tide

Riding the rolling waves to shore
Arriving there all battered and bruised
Surviving once again the waves of grief
Memories pushed back to yesterday again

Love the life!
The little ... the much.
I love what I am ...
what I believe in.
What I want to be ...
I love the setbacks ...
that make me learn ...
get better and better ...
More me. Happier...
more man!
Stronger...
I'm authentic!
Not everything ... nothing
in words ... in gestures ... in touch.
And even more ... when I hear the silence ...
silence that in me.
It makes me more and more each day .....
Unique and true.

The promise of spring is in the air
Sights and sounds tantalizing nose and ear
Crocuses bravely breaking forth from the ground
Centers of gold – looking like little purple crowns

Gentle rain with a misty fog on the pond
Bringing mystical creatures with loud sounds
Little tiny beings gathering together to sing
Tantalizing us with the promise of spring

Snow melting slowly into the ground and streams
Provoking even more wishful spring dreams
Temperatures dipping way up and way down
Helping to keep hopes and dreams abound

Early Snowdrops have blossomed and gone
While spring flowers still sleeping underground
New bright green peeking up here and there
Fueling the feeling of spring in the air

Lenten season will be soon gone
Then the promise of Easter morning dawn
Celebrating our Risen Savior resurrected and alive
And the blessing of Spring and warm sunshine

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.

She grabbed me around my thick long stem
I began melting in her hand
She dragged me to her dungeon cave
Where I was to obey her every command

She stripped away my golden wrap
While gazing at me with desire
I was so scared & a virgin too
In my ecclesiastical attire

She pressed her luscious lips against me
Licking, nibbling with excitement & glee
Submitting & surrendering my very self to her
Biting paraphilia, idiosyncrasy.

She made me what I am today
Yet I'm glad that I was born
An empty wrapper thrown away
Devoid of chocolate, all tattered & torn.

The happiest and saddest day of the year
Celebrated by the broken hearted in tears
Year after year waiting for your loved one
Cupid’s arrow always passing by with none

Those deeply in love embracing the day
In their own private world of sunshine rays
Red roses – candy hearts with cute verses
Loving kisses in their own universes

Each having their own dreams of days ahead
Some dreams granted – while others in shred
Here’s wishing everyone happiness this year
Spending it with someone you love most dear

I sure have sweet thoughts of
You & Michigan:
Couldn't sleep
Home was calling loudly!
Have been to "your area"
several times
Still swirling in my memory bank of Michigan a big slice of
Heaven on earth from God:
A precious, dear spot in my soul: engraved in my heart for eternity
Where the glaciers dipped out big holes that filled w water up to 50 miles wide Mmmm ...
the potential of a great friendship of like minds:
many great MI memories:
boulder park subdivision an architectural feat
big mammoth boulder rocks weighing prob tons: in the design where the roof tops w a special design blend in w Mother Nature in swirls of brown shingles in the tree lines in a cool sub division, charlevoix going over a bridge like a lions den growling below haha..., petoskey stones, Great Lakes, Macinaw bridge, Macinaw Island famous Jane Seymour & Christopher Reeves Love story ? Title somewhere in time?
fall leaves fav, lovely Christmas evergreens picturesque winter scenes w snow beautiful as a Christmas card! The trees in Alaska not real ones in Michigan full lush white pines blue spruce in the winter swaying in the wind like a "Lady's dress with white frosting lush n cream" Mmmm ... divine
Memories of moms nurse Maxine saying to me: "you'll be back!"
I said, " how do you know?"
Max said, "you love it too much to not return!" Home calls me home much. But it has just not been the right time: maybe in the somewhat near future: I will become like a salmon swimming upstream, fighting the current w all my might to return home, to find my mate, prepare a nest in the sand bar with pebbles and join my mate there
Swimming Divine, soothing our souls w refreshing water, equally yoked sublime family commeraderie, sublime teamwork:
Hands that love because they want to not because they have to:
in the kitchen, bathroom, hot tub, bedroom suite, master bathroom built for two, natural Lighting from the windows, a view of the trees or lake, bigggg tub designed for two: candles & warm water Mmmm ..., pool,
morel mushrooms,
dads garden & cabin,
Family adventures, stories, miss fresh produce, tomatoes, sweet corn,
Fresh tender asparagus yum!!! Fresh soft cookies,
Big blueberries, orchards, fresh donuts w cider in the recipe no frosting needed piping hot warm, apples, berries, cherries, blueberries, black cap raspberries, luv red & golden, black walnuts, black sweet cherries, Mac. Island fudge, vernors cream ales', Indian trails that r now highways, cities names by Indians: Cheboyagain, Petoskey, Gaylord, Detroit, Flint, alpena, long lake sunsets, need to publish adventures, swimming in spring fed ponds, custard ice cream dipped in choc divine,
Michigan shaped like a mitten seen from space:
One can say I am from the "thumb" area pointing to their palm hand referring to above the fingers for the petoskey area, or fm the upper peninsula land of sunsets,
Lake Superior, agates, refreshing swimming, over 11,000 lakes, home calls me home to beautiful memories
Treasures in my soul
That I greatly miss
Just need one faithful honest man to make the equation endearing, lovely, enjoyable teamwork
Gods design of
love & companionship,
Loves fresh vegetables plentiful at the summer produce mkt, do you garden have fruit trees?
Miss beef steak tomatoes & cottage cheese decadent' much
A poem was brewing in my head about u & Michigan I couldn't sleep much, along w that we have had a deep snow fall which is rarely
An occurrence here
here - prob 8-10 weather warnings have landed in my email over the past many days
Bet about 12-18" of snow "literally snowed in till the plow man can make it - he must be swamped w requests"
*Snow I think is multi purpose:
best part long needed precipitation due to drought last summer & maybe its Gods way to slow down the world to peace & quiet to home & family and a nice big pot of home made soup simmering piping hot w any kind of fresh bread sure miss "Betty Crocker buns!"

Crystal bright sunshine, replaced by grey
Doubtful skies, replace sun's bright rays
Temperature drops, humidity forgotten
Heat respite, warmer clothes not cotton

Over-shadowed skies, reduced activity
Farmers need rivers, to reach capacity
Brown rolling hills, need rain's coating
Cracked-dry land, needing a soaking

Yet we struggle, when day turns dull
Nature's cycle, must refresh not kill
Day of heavy rain, is what land requires
Moisture gift, better than drying fires

After rain, crystal raindrops dazzle-shine
Maybe a rainbow arch, will be a sign
Nature, does her best to balance-share
Changing our outlook, lavishing care
