Shadow Prism
10-29-10

I went out just to get three big macs
The trick of light made it appear like Halloween to its extreme
Bright orange approaching dusk both dead and alive
Melancholy yet beautiful
Perhaps a little bit too much
Where I can see the spectrum of the edges of my shadows
A little bit too overwhelming
Too much for me
Need a backup plan
For when I don't have the words to say
And that would be to simply stop thinking
And to just listen....




Guilty But Pardoned
10-29-10

Guilty of spreading strife of the paradox
In saying that it seems to be a contradiction
I didn't mean to bash it
As there was a morsel perishing in my cabinet
I had no choice but to trash it
It would be so much better if I held my tongue
And opened up my ears and not to overreact
And to count my blessings of what I have
And not of what I lacked
I am guilty yet in Christ I am pardoned....





Slowing Down
10-29-10

Last night I took up meditation again
Taking deep breaths to slow down my crazy thinking
To each his own and whatever works for me
Soon to go to a Halloween party
For sandwiches and socializing
A thing I was never good at when I was in school
As some would say that in my own way
Even I was cool
So I devise my mantra
That goes, "I love you Lord, I want to get better
To quiet the thoughts that race in circles around our campfire....
