You may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's Garden or you will be put into a pie and eaten by that old man.

About Me

I enjoy watching MASH and reading the poetry of Charles Bukowski. I love learning and thinking about God and this odd little universe he created. And I am overwhelmed with joy that I can write an "About Me" section on a website and not care what any kids will think of me by reading it. The rest you'll have to learn for yourself.

'God' Has Such a Different Meaning Where a Purer Image Resides

Its one thing to rejoice in your persecutions
but another to be looked down upon by your fellow man.

I wrote these in bed after laying sleepless for several hours so if they don't make any sense its not your fault, its mine:

To Someone Who Doesn't Know Its Them That I'm Writing About
or
To Paint The Story Of My Dreams

Inside me there is vast, open space
where thoughts
gleefully gallop
through fields
of memories and emotions
kicking up grass
and starting fires
that flare up the sky.
'God' has such a different meaning
where a purer image resides.


A Comparison

The present
is kind of like those biblical days
they talk about in Sunday schools
and prophetic television programs
early in the morning;
There is common knowledge of God
but
his followers are few
and
more attention is directed
at the religious hypocrites
than his followers
just like in the old bible stories
that are told in Sunday schools
across America
and on prophetic television programs
on early in the morning.
I wonder
if
anyone else
has
made this comparison.

3 things this morning but I'm only posting 2

The Slow and Somber Tale of Hope

It sounds nice when it is written down
and it probably could hold a nice tale
but The Slow and Somber Tales of Hope
won't have a meaningful place in my personal library.
No song,
nor story,
or even a poem
shall ever bear its name
in a context
having to do with theme.
And yet
as I write this
I almost wish it would,
Goodnight.

Everything's Going To be Okay

My alarm goes off at 9:30 every day.
I wake up at 9:30 every day.
Except today.
I had one of those dreams
where I was in a familiar place
but everything seemed new to me.
There were people there
who weren't really who they were
and saying things
that they wouldn't have said.
I don't know where I was going with this
but there was this girl
crying on my shoulder
but I couldn't quite remember
what made her cry
just that it seemed undeserved
and all I could do was hold her.
Comfort her.
Then take her for a walk outside
and tell her
everythings going to be okay.
"Everything's going to be okay."

Speak Your Mind

If you don't
its just going to waste away
into nothing.
