A thing of memory (Drabble Prompt) This old bowl reminds me of where I have been and the climb that came with it. A life of drunken abuse and waste. From birth till the day I broke through rock bottom, to find the cellar. A darker place where there was nothing and no one; exceptContinue reading “This Old Bowl”

Peaceful Moment At Sea
A photo haiku A moment of peace,where the living sea meets me,and we become one. A photo I took on Jekyll Island, Georgia. It’s looking to the west, just before the sunset. The Georgia coast can be seen in the distance, and a ship cruises by. The Golden Isles of Georgia, and the entire coastContinue reading “Peaceful Moment At Sea”
Winter is Gone
A springtime poem The long cold winter is gone.Blood of trees begin to flow.Birds singing a mating song.New plants begin to grow. Wonderful warmth in the air,with raging storms to begin.All the animals are a pair,Life’s cycle begins again. Lakes and ponds warming in the sun.Fish jumping, with splashes fall.In flight, the dragonflies hum.Spring PeepersContinue reading “Winter is Gone”
Isolated
Where are you? Alone In a sea of people. Not a place for me. A place where life accepts me. In solitary confinement. Trapped where I don’t want to be. As time drips away. Day by day. Those sands through the glass; flow to the space below. That deep space forever. That six foot deepContinue reading “Isolated”
The Sanatorium On The Hill
Abandoned Waverly Hills Sanatorium (Roadkill Society Prompt) Through the woods the sun seems lower. Shadows grow longer, and deeper,while solar rays blast past trees,with no leaves. The road to the hill top winds.Curving like a snake waiting to consume,amongst the darkening trees,with no leaves. The broken road explodes clear,into a parking lot of shattered rock,whereContinue reading “The Sanatorium On The Hill”

Recovery For The Holidays
Sometimes forgiveness never comes I was born a drunk, in a family full of drunks. All of whom are now dead. Even me. I drank to escape. Not to escape a bad life. But, to escape boredom. It was a means of going insane for a bit. It’s strange. There was a moment when IContinue reading “Recovery For The Holidays”
Free Bird
We are prisoners I was driving today;when I saw a Blue Heron,by a beautiful lake. The sun sparkled;like fireworks on the water,and the bird fished in peace. When I saw this it dawned on me,that man is the onlycreature of God’s Creation,who begs another man for food. He is the only one,who is a slave,forContinue reading “Free Bird”
Reborn Everyday
Everyday can be a new life Everyday is a new chance at a different life. Every morning when we wake up we can choose how our day goes. I know it’s hard. I battle those morning demons and have for years. I have fought to think rightly in the face of a life that seemedContinue reading “Reborn Everyday”
One With Nature
Alone in the woods. I remember when I was young. I’d skip school and go to the woods, to become one with the spirit of the wild. To sit under a tree and just be, without a care In the world. Listening to the birds, and talking with my friends the trees. Moving slowly downContinue reading “One With Nature”
