Thoughts, Dreams and Feelings
My Search for Serenity
Grateful not to be Hateful
I am grateful, to not be hateful
To be alive, and ok, just for today
To accept the things I cannot change
In Life, in my mind, to re-arrange
The things I can
I am grateful, I can stand
To be all that I am
To be able to be here
To be able to accept my fears
After all these years
I am grateful for others
Sisters and Brothers
Forum friends
I am grateful!

A Tree and Me
Have you ever seen a tree cry?
Tears as sweet as they fall
No one knows this kind of tree
For I have asked them all.
A lonely tree I saw from the glass
Its limbs they hung as to weep
I thought to myself I could cheer it up
And myself, all in the same week!
With an old dog bowl, first I set
At the base to water the birds
Then a plastic bowl I buried to the rim
With seeds and other treats
I started to notice the tree didn’t cry,
The sappy tears no longer flow
For the joy it has with the wildlife now,
We both have begun to grow!
Now every morn, I awake to this tree
And watch it almost smile
As each little breeze touches it leaves
As the birds stick around for awhile.
With a few more bowls, and a dish or two
Some squirrels have joined the fowl
Amazed I was to see these critters
Come up to me now, too!
I can't explain the joy I receive
With a peanut in my hand
As a little squirrel shyly comes to me
And thanks me, as I stand.
Now the only witness to this you see
Is the now happy, mighty tree
With each and every passing day
We share Serenity!

In-house Drama
How do you tell the truth to the face of a lie?
Where are the answers to the questions of why?
Here comes the depression, once again it sets in
Shit like this, is how it begins!
Emotionally drained, mentally unexplained
Midterm madness, now all this blame!
First, I am bighearted, and giving my all
Then I am shut out, put up against a wall.
My journey so far, a ride up and down
Good times, bad times, not as bad as it sounds.
Peaceful enjoyment of my home is all I need
Not constant bullshit from other people’s greed.
Why must I be forced inside these four walls?
While the lies and deceits roam the halls?
When will closed eyes open wide to see
What has been in front of them the entire time, so obviously?
Truth will stand out, in the end eventually
How much damage will have been done, emotionally?
Do they care, hell no, everything else comes first
To hell with those, with broken hearts ready to burst!
How can they get away with their veil of deceit?
Stand on Jesus Love, while laughing out the other cheek.
Manipulating others to do what they say
Come on Truth; shine your light, relieve my dismay!
