Vulnerable (Showing My "Work")

    Below are three DIFFERENT sections of notes in my phone of writing words that came to me. The first starts with "Heard" , an encounter I had and did my best to finish (sorta). The other two are incompleted . I will note which are which, but decided to show these to encourage someone to not be afraid to show themselves "warts and all" as the old saying goes (revealing your shortcomings or flaws, for any who are unfamiliar with the saying). It's okay to be human and not have it all together sometimes, and sometimes showing this can be a blessing to others when they feel alone in their failures and shortcomings. You.aren't.alone.


This is the first "completed" poem (this is my silly side showing. Not trying to express any disrespect here with this)


Heard 


Heard a truck "fart" today,

As he stepped on the gas in a really loud way.


It may have smelled,

It's hard to say; 

I only heard from inside today.


It was large,

it was loud,

I wonder if he'd still feel proud,

knowing what I heard that day,

lifted truck where I'll just say, 

I heard someone's exhaust "fart" today,

crackling in that engine way. 


This is a poem (just below) that started appearing to me in my thoughts on a REALLY hot day. May finish it but I'm not sure yet)


Black is the road along the way,

holding in fires I don't want to stay.


Bright are the lines that order some way,

one I'm aware of on this hot day.


During the heat spell here I saw a cat walking down a hot road among a bunch of old houses. It was...."quiet" there and much busier around that area. Most seemed to pass by without noticing, and this contrast struck me; then these words below started appeared in my head...for maybe a poetic essay; not sure yet.)



Down an old street walked a life, among the old houses that lined either side of the street, where busy distracted humanity from this one lone life. Down an old street on a hot day this wanderer made their way.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
