BIG ETHEL’S VACATION

It has been awhile since I have written a duet with anyone. Thank you Byron Hamel for making this one amazing. She smiles down Her warmth unseen But undeniable Her wings Gust softly Turn the world She is the artist Sculptor Raising mountains Painter Coloring the sea Rejoicing She descends To further gift This beautiful…

LET ME LOVE YOU ANYWAY…

Today I am very happy to host my closest friend Lizzi and her blog post on bullying. BUT FIRST… I want to start your day with a poem we wrote several weeks back.  I saved it because I love the message and feel it represents a wonderfully compassionate attitude.  We all have moments when we need…

WISDOM’S VOICE

Please take some time to visit C. Burks. Thank you for your endless patience! Written by C.Burks and Hastywords Her knuckles were gnarled Much like that of an aging pine And her whispers whistled With a hollow breezy whine With missing patches of bark Resembling the scars of life Tell the tale of an unbroken…

  Written by James Sanders and HastyWords Branches, dry and brittle, snap beneath my feet Stained circles of torched grass litter the ground And the sun… Well… It strains to find purchase inside this compound   Oh it’s no paradise, perhaps more like paradise lost But understand, my being here ain’t what it seems I…
