Land of the Brave

Land of the Brave

minds soiled in tainted illusions counting copper seeking value under the glare of glitter and gold

their blood no longer extinct pouring off tables of the taxidermist sport for the rich and bored

from smoke stacks chemicals drift cough? drink coal water on a hot day perched on crumbling icebergs

weigh your priority a meal or life-sustaining drugs rent or a doctor visit mass graves for the poor

Whispers in the Wind

Whispers in the Wind

under the clouds of darkness I find myself . . . vulnerably exposed to illusions of wealth . . . I shiver as cold drops land like bitter tears . . . misty rainbows flutter and fly in growing fears . . . ᴥ I ride whispers like secrets in the wind . . . ᴥ naked in garments of falsehoods and plenty . . . a proud peacock strutting without vanity . . . eyes his butt of brightly colored feathers . . . f…

If Only

if I could see tomorrow today . . . I would slow down and notice . . . what was taken for granted . . .

like dazzling sun risings . . . drops of dew on spring leaves . . . laughter roaring in the distant . . . while tears flow with sorrow . . .

if I could see tomorrow today . . . I would remember the taste . . . of the ocean spray . . . as warm sun’s rays turned to sweat . . .

Resist Comforming

Good morning, it might not be morning where you are, it might not be morning when you read this. Actually it might not even be morning when I finish writing and press post. But either way I wanted to greet you.

After my surgery I learned my lungs are deteriorating even more, I had two bouts with lung cancer, I have COPD, pulmonary hypertension, Emphysema and now a new diagnosis of idiopathic…

All Things Are Possible

All Things Are Possible

Last week I learned that a woman I use to work with, who was like mother was going into hospice. The following were the words I wrote for her and read to her at her bed side. She was weak but when awake she was alert.

All things are possible I know the road before you is long and hard it would be so easy to lay down your load breath in the tranquility of everlasting rest as you climb the ladder to…

I Need A Little Help

I Need A Little Help

I know I’ve been MIA.  I’ve started visiting blogs and hope to get back to being a regular soon.  I’m recovering from not only my surgery but from the presidential election.  No comments on either subject.

I am about to release a new book but I am having difficulty decided on the cover please help me. You can click on the photo for a better view. Thank you.

Sending Holiday Wishes

  Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  I wish I could say I’m feeling much better but unfortunately I am still in a lot of pain. I don’t remember how long it took me to heal the last time but it seems like it was shorter.

I want to wish you all a wonderful 2017. Hopefully it will be a year where peace and love will penetrate throughout the world.

Hope to return soon until then Hugs.

On the mend

Greetings,

Surgery went okay. It was late. Like last time it was cancer they got it all.

  It hurts to breathe but hopefully I’ll be out of here soon.

  HUGS,

Stress Free Days

My surgery has been rescheduled for November 21, 2006. I need to sooth the stress in my life so I’m going to stay away from social media  until after. Trump and all the noise that is following him and his appointments and plans is nerve wrecking.

Therefore I won’t be reading the newspaper or watching the news. I know life will go on without me. I’ll catch up after surgery. For now I’m going to…

 Who You Blaming? It's Someone's fault

 Who You Blaming? It’s Someone’s fault

Google Image from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Someone is to blame and we are going to figure it out. Mark Zuckerberg how could you allow  all those fake, unchecked news reels on Facebook.  You really should have monitored better. CNN and FOX news you didn’t fact check you just reported news that would boost ratings. The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times even the NY Daily Newspaper…

Wear That Pin So I  Know You Support Me

Wear That Pin So I  Know You Support Me

I spend a lot of time at home, alone watching TV, reading FB, twitter and WordPress. Occasionally I go to the store in my predominantly black and Latino neighborhood. It’s amazing no one bothers me, I hardly see any fightings unless I happen to go out when school let’s out.  I’m not afraid of the kids but they can get rowdy. So I avoid 2:30 to 4pm store runs. I don’t drive anymore,…
