reality...reasons...reactions


Camel on bended knee

scratching and clawing at her ears helps not
the cruel unfair words once spoken
can never be unheard
not today
she whimpers
not again
she sobs
with
Intent
they
heap
as
she
falls
to
bended knee
Heavenward
she weeps

` ` `

I am overfull

swollen debris laden flood waters
flow swiftly from my eyes
and you unwisely pick this moment
to launch your own tributary
into my path
one look at the raging water
should alert that you
must redirect
I cannot manage your sadness
too

` ` `

motivation

I guess God knew
just what he was doing when he entrusted
this grandma with
the most pure of heart smile
you have ever seen
in a kid's
size seven and a half shoe

The first two seem to speak of all that overloads us and leaves us broken... while the third gives thanks for the reasons we rise and try again. *S* These are great, jb.... well done! *S*
