A Story in Every Heart

Forces of Love

IF

If And I do believe deeply in my higher power the one Great Spirit And that every and all happenings and circumstances Are part of my higher power’s plan Then How do I resolve the concept of NLP’s “future pacing”?

It is my nature Along with a past of unspeakable horror To shine my light for others As they consider lighting pathways For nature For the homeless For the injured For the cold The lonely The hungry Those left out and especially the spitefully pitted and mean-spirited. For they are the most Forlorn Isolated […]

Once Upon A Liberty

Nothing is off-limits with regard to her ability to call forth her strengths and intellect. She stands for a query for more information. She stands to experience the field of battle outside on mounds of sand with her brothers, her shield and sword. She stands to stroke the neck of a service dog obeying her […]

Walk On

Two humans coasting crashing planing revealing roasting creating fifty-five years of friendship five months of tactile heralding five nights six days of absolute glory my heart falls into an abyss of nowhere land overflowing with before unseen and undetected anger romantic involvement Alas, it is over… over.
