The Fallen
I saw a clip on TV about returning soldiers surprising their loved ones by returning home ‘unexpectedly’. My heart went out to the families of the Mother’s and the Father’s who didn’t return home. Who will no longer be home for Christmas; who will no longer be there to hold and comfort. I hope those families can find it within their hearts the courage and strength to put their lives back together with the knowledge that their loved ones served believing what they were doing was for preserving freedoms that we take granted.
When counting your blessings, remember those who fought for those blessings.
Merry Christmas
It Will Come
Follow your heart
It knows where to go
Take a look inwards
Don’t mind the ebb and flow.
You know the path you trod
Your new freedom is quite dear
And asking Him for advice
Can also help things to clear.
I was like you once
With no clear path in view
So I asked Him to show the way
I found what He wanted me to do.
There are no magic answers
Nothing for bottles on the shelf
You’re the one to find your answers
Just be true to yourself.
Nocturnal
I often wander these old streets. The streetlights are yellow dim orbs of disappointing light. They even flavor the fog with pale amber color. The fog tonight is abnormally thick; it is a night for sorcery and things that go bump in the night. Faces appear almost instantly out of nowhere and disappear with equal temerity. People moving around not even seeing where they go, just moving from one light to another. Single faces looking around trying to find a glimpse of direction. A fog such as this everything looks familiar and strange all at the same time. Couples, some wandering aimlessly, huddle together in the cool moist air. Voices low, so as not to announce themselves. There is an unearthly quiet tonight.
One shouldn’t go out on a night such as this. It isn’t…healthy.
You see I am nocturnal, have been since I crossed over; I hunt only at night.

Jennifer de More
Sometimes something gets so stuck in your head, the only way to get it out is to write it down. So I did. With no apologies to Mr. Poe.
Awakened from my slumber in a drunken haze.
I get up not remembering even the days.
I call for my Jennifer de More
But a voice from the darkness whispers,
Nevermore
I pay it no mind; it is the wind whistling through the door.
I am looking for the love of my life, Jennifer de More.
We had a quarrel, a fight I would deplore.
But a voice from without sobs,
Nevermore
I searched all the rooms, I tore the place asunder.
The wind increases without, and brings with it thunder.
We had walked on the beach; that most dismal of shore.
And that disembodied voice keeps repeating,
Nevermore
She said we were through, that our love was gone.
She called me a monster, said it was all wrong.
I cried you can never leave, on this I swore.
Deep within a cold heart murmurs,
Nevermore
I went into a rage on that dark sandy beach.
Her body was in pieces, my rage beyond reach.
For on that cold desolate shore
Beats my lover’s heart,
Nevermore
I gaze out on the lifeless shifting sands.
What have I done, I have blood on my hands.
Can God in Heaven forgive me, I implore.
A cold wind sighs across the sand,
Nevermore
Dawn reveals a single trail in the sand.
To end his life and the death by his hand.
To this place where the sea meets the shore.
He takes two lives their end,
Forever more

Asking God for the Meaning of Life and put on hold.
Did you ever have one of those days that starts off great and it goes downhill?
Ever have high expectations and it starts to fizzle?
Did you ever predict this would happen?
When it came down crashing did you feel superior?
Did you yell ” I told you so”?
Or did you go off to yourself confidant you got it “right”?
What would you feel if you missed the outcome?
what if just for once everything came up grand?
What would you feel then?
Would there be mixed emotions?
Did you think you were hedging your bets?
Were secretly hoping you were wrong?
Did you actually feel ‘good’ things worked out?
Is there Hope?
hello, ..um.. no thanks Got it figured out, good bye

Things… To think about
This has just come to me.To live a long and fruitful life
Never grow up. No matter how old you get, never grow up.
Never turn away from the changes that come your way, you can’t stop them, you might as well learn about them.
Never stop learning, you can never learn it all , there is always something new to enrich your life.
Never give up, on yourself, and especially God. He would never give up on you.
Never be ashamed to admit your wrong. This shows you are human.
Never forget to laugh and Never forget to cry. Strange, you can’t have one without the other.
Never forget who you and what you are. You are unique.. There is no one like you anywhere, even twins are different.
Never forget to love. Never forget to share. To have a wonderful life these are not to be forgotten.
Never forget the ones who love you. They have a reason.
