Creative Challenge 228... brotherly love

Brotherly Love

Deep friendship is a love

Much like brotherly love.

We only share that with a few.

Love and compassion

For all mankind.

That transcends friendships.

But deep friendships

Are important.

And bonds to be cherished.

He sat inside his thoughts.

They ate and burned inside.

He had to get outside,

From behind these closed doors.

Creative Challenge #226... junkyard

He looked all around…

What did he see?

His life looked like a junkyard…

Everywhere he looked.

Things fall apart…

Least they did for him.

His life looked like a junkyard…

He tried not to look.

So he looked for the good…

And there was a lot of good to see.

That is where he built his life…

And he waited for the new fruit.

Creative Challenge 225... edge

Surrender

He came to the edge,

The edge of himself.

He looked in the mirror,

It glared back at him.

He knew he must change,

But change wouldn’t come.

He stayed at the edge,

The edge of himself.

Was there a hope?

A hope for change.

Could things be made right?

It glared back at him.

He longed for a change,

But change wouldn’t come.

He fell to his knees

And asked for help.

Creative Challenge #224... fool

Can’t fool me!

It’s upside down!

You took my world

And turned it around!

Creative Challenge #223... burden

Rejection

What do you do when it all comes unglued?

Do you put it together with duct tape and bailing wire?

Do you sit in the corner and mope?

Do you fix what was wrong and move on?

Do you worry and fret over it all?

Do you bear up under the burden and be strong?

Do you start a new life on your own?

Do you try it again?

Reflections

Looking back he had to say,

That things didn’t seem to go the way,

That he would want them, so he let it lay,

And took his eyes off yesterday.

The soul is parched…

Creative Challenge # 219... journey

The Roads We Travel

Life is a journey, so they say.

We push on along, come what may.

It’s not always easy, it’s not always fun.

Sometimes it’s joyous, and sometimes we run.

We take the good with the bad, the happy with the sad.

And we push right along and hope we don’t go mad.

But sometimes it’s awesome when a new day dawns,

And we have a new hope that we’re where we belong.

Creative Challenge #218... hot

He didn’t like hot and he didn’t like cold.

He liked it in the middle, truth be told.

But too much of the one and he longed for the other.

So with changes in seasons he got his druthers.

PPF Summer Competition 2012 Week 6 ~ Dirty ~

My great niece. She doesn't look that dirty but we all got dirty and sweaty hiking way above Seven Falls Colorado on a hot summers day.

Creative Challenge 217... we all fall down

Life

Life’s a stream we tumble along.

Just a molecule of water in the scheme of it all,

Sometimes lazily, sometimes in a rush,

Sometimes our minds confused in the push.

We come to the falls and we all fall down.

It’s the natural thing to do while playing the clown.

Then we hit wide spots and enjoy the quiet times,

Only to be rushed into the rapids,

While we play to all that we are intrepid.

Are we near the end or is this inception?

We enjoy the ride and seek perception.
