He Has Known My Plight

April 12, 2008 - Saturday

Current mood: contemplative
Category: Writing and Poetry

My soul is tired, my thoughts uninspired.
My mind is without ease.
My heart is heavy as I try to levy
a cure for this disease.
I hold onto bruises, my body refuses
to function as God ordained.
Despite any attempt I remain unkempt:
so revealing a countenance pained.

What's hidden in the mind can be hard to find
when the heart is burdened with life:
to count it all joy and remember to employ
what is truth versus what is strife.
In the midst of the chaos I seek Him who is LOGOS
and The Spirit begins to speak.
My troubles brought to light; He has known my plight
He's made strong when I am weak.

I Ain't Skeered... Ain't Afeered a Nuthin'!

November 7, 2006 - Tuesday I aint skeered...aint afeered a nuthin! Current mood: confused Category: Life I've got some serious issues... I'm the Cowardly Lion, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ugly Betty all rolled into one. How can one person be such a wimp in some areas, a totally confident terminator in other areas and such a sweet and humble mix in still other areas? Where does this come from? It's not multiple personality disorder (despite what some of you might think). I'm not Sybil; I'm not losing time and blacking out and taking on other personas...even though I do enjoy a good game of pretend now and then...with accents. I often joke about being my own conundrum; my own anomaly, but sometimes it's not really ...

A rainbow colored, abscessed, monster of a thing.

Originally started October 2018. Gosh, I've needed to write for such a long time. I can't even get into journaling for some reason. I don't even care if anyone reads this, that's not the point... I just need to talk - unhindered and unfettered - talk. Y'know how when you get a splinter under your fingernail and you can see the thing so you know it's there? So you get your extraction tools: fingernail clippers, tweezers, maybe a sewing needle or push pin, if you're my dad you get a pocket knife... if you're over 35 you get your reading glasses... you get peroxide or rubbing alcohol... everything you need and then you go in for minor surgery. You poke around and scrape the underside of the nail. You pull at something dark and then realize it's just dirt. You pick at it a little too hard and maybe it bleeds a little. Then finally you pull the smallest of little slivers out and think, "Yes! I got it." You look closely at the shard of wood a...

On Again Off Again

August 23, 2007 - Thursday On Again Off Again Current mood: tired Category: Life If I believed in astrology I would make some kind of comment about how today the moon must have been in the 6th house and Saturn was surely aligning with Pluto because why else would my day have felt so "off" and ended up with me in tears? After all, any true music proficionado would know that an ON day would consist of the moon being in the SEVENTH house and JUPITER aligning with MARS... A.K.A. the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. I do not, however, believe in astrology. I am most certainly a fan of the 5th Dimension (Marilyn McCoo was so foxy back in the day!) but I'm not a fan of crediting or blaming my "off" days on the alignment...
