I Am

I Am

I am emotion.  I am joy and happiness. I am with my family and good friends. 

I am birds and a musical life in nature. I also hear the sounds of the big city and I feel at home. 
I am the fresh mountain air, the fresh air of the forest. Life-giving food is in abundance. 
I am in love with the love of my life. I feel the embrace and the embrace of our children. 
I am fresh, good food surrounded by loving family and friends, sometimes out in nature and other times above the hustle and the bustle of the big city.
I am at peace with myself as I worship God how, when, and where I may with others.

1967 Mustang

Junkyard
Carcasses
Litter
The
Open
Field,
Each
With
A
Lost
Memory
Of
The
Other,
As
I
Turn
My
Key
One
Last
Time
To
The
Off position
And
Walk
Away
Crying

Snake Eyes

Anger
Streams
Through
The
Room
As
The
Other
Listens
To
Venom
Felt,
Whilst
Peering
Through
The
Glazed
Eyes
Of
A
Wounded
Soul,
Feeling
Something,
Understanding
Nothing

Quitting the Race

Fingers
Pointed
In
Rage
Show
My
Heart
Maybe
It’s
Time
To
Move
Along
New
Paths
Seen
And
Suspected
In
The
Distance,
Tired,
Frustrated,
Broken,
As
I
Stand
Judged,
Perceived
Searching
For
A
Home
Far
From
The
Other
And
My
Aching
Soul,
Sitting
Instead
Surrounded
Alone
In
Darkness
Not
Yearning,
Wilting
Into
The
Anonymous
Nothingness
Of
Another miserable
Existence
Quitting
All

Imagine

Water
Reflects
Briefly
Beneath
The

Of
Fixed

In
Time
When
The
Other
Is
Recognized
Again
As
A
Stranger

This Time

More
Agony
Patiently
Swims
Into
My
Soul
Gently
Leading
Past
Settled
Darkness
To
An
Unseen
Guarded
Destination
Feeling
Warmth
Awkwardly

Next Time

In
The
Moment
Seeing
Smiles
Feeling
Thought
I’m
Pained,
Bruised
And
Lost
In
Actions
Avoided
Joining
The
Next
Moments
More
Numb

My Shield

Weary
Limbs
Trek
Through
The
Incomplete
Morass
Of
Being
Repeatedly,
Encountering
The
Other
Over
And
Over
Finding
Strength

Yesterday

Darkness

As

Unskilled
Muscles
