Rise Above Cruel Words

Lift up high 

Over your head 

Do not cry

Over what was said.

Words can maim

When used to hurt 

Not the same 

Or just deserved.

Knowing you

Is all that counts

Some askew 

By the accounts.

Make a space

Between heard and feel

Well in place 

Response ideal.

Consciousness

Is deep inside

Don’t regress

Or hide behind pride

Take in stride 

All that you’ve heard

Don’t abide

Such cruel words.

Journey of a Lifetime

Winter is frigid

Winter is cold.

Cold day in hell

Cold as ice.

Ice cream sundae

Ice cream man.

Man of the house

Man of war

War what’s it good for

War games.

Games a plenty

Games people play.

Play the record

Play on words.

Words of wisdom

Words can kill.

Killer in you is the killer in me

Kill eye.

Eye of the beholder

Eye of the tiger.

Tiger eyes

Tiger lily.

Lily livered

Lily White.

White shoulders

White room.

Room service

Room with a view.

View to a kill

View from the window.

Window washer

Window to my soul.

Soul mate

Soul kitchen.

Kitchen aid

Kitchen sink.

Sink that put

Sink or swim.

Swim in the main stream

Swim in the sea.

Sea of Cortez

Sea of Joy.

Joy ride

Joy to the world.

World in my eyes

World without love.

Love of a lifetime.

Love is a journey.

Lifetime…

Journey…

Words, They Protect Us All

Originally Published 04/26/2024

Words are our defense.

To cruelties of a cold world.

Countering the bad.

Providing a shield.

To the harsh realities.

We all must deal with.

New words every day.

Arise through inspirations.

Through experience.

Many lessons learned.

Through the mistakes of our pasts.

Reap many rewards.

They’re a catalyst.

For the words that preserve us.

A creative shield.

That blocks future pain.

Blotting out all the darkness.

And giving us, light.

Words Serve

Words serve a purpose

Purpose to move people

People who are everything in the world

World wide peace is what I want to see

Seeing is truly believing in actions

Actions display our true nature

Nature is what doing what feels right

Right is the opposite of wrong

Wronging others is not an option

Options are one of many choices

Choices made determine direction

Direction is how we go about moving

Moving towards our lives desires

Desires are powerful wants

Wants are what we’d like in life

Life is what we make of it until its end
