When it seems

Photo credit Sarah Whiley The darkness will win in a time of hardship. I always come out here and wait for the light to shine through the clouds. And I know right then and there that everything will work out. Maybe not in the way I wanted it to, but the way God wants and knows it should be. But with free will, it’s hard sometimes to know I’m not the one planning out my life. And I know now…

Giving Animals Respect in Their Habitat

Giving Animals Respect in Their Habitat

Photo Credit to Pobble 365 His black shadow that was against the sky Caused me to stop right there in my tracks. He looked frail, yet I knew I should fear him, So I turned aound and found my way back. Sequestered in a house in the forest, I knew that this was his home, not mine. So, I approached the bridge very quietly, Saddened by his trial, for they were in decline. He had a right to…

Journeys

The old truism goes that confession is good for the soul. I’m not sure if when I have the sort of internal dialog that could be considered confession, I talk to my soul, though. It does sometimes do me good. I talk to myself about my stupidity, failures, and the roads not taken. It’s those darn roads not taken that are the real irritant.One time I was offered entrance to an expensive college by…

Just  little pirate fun Inspired by Wordle #288 at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo A.M Moscoso I must confess that a long time ago I wanted to be a pirate and sail to unknown shores   I wanted to fight, I wanted to rob, I wanted to see Sea witches roll to shore with the fog   I wanted a dog, I wanted a parrot I wanted my ship to be painted black I wanted the stars to guide me and not a silly…

Academic Integrity

I have my own moral principles, and one of them is not to copy in an exam, or do any sort of plagiarism. Whether it’s a class test, term test, an assignment or finals doesn’t matter to me. I’m someone in the top strata performers. I listen to lectures diligently. When there was a surprise test a few weeks before the finals, I failed at school. I didn’t regret it because I knew I deserved it for…

We paid the price for a bite

Photo by Giovanni Calia on Pexels.com

We paid the price for a bite Rejected, cursed, forever blamed When a predator creeps on an eerie night Our voice is drowned with shame

Even sunlit fields bare witness To starving lips that taste of lust Every place we go, awake or asleep Cross our legs, hide our breasts — we must

Bodies pried open in plain sight With jokes, punchlines, lecherous gaze And the…

I'm Afraid Dave Can't Let You Do That

I’m Afraid Dave Can’t Let You Do That

Dave –

No.  I couldn’t let myself call him that.  No attachments, no feelings, not now.

Subject one hugged the blanket.  His eyes were fearful, yet a glimmer of hope remained in him.

I held tight my clipboard and, despite suggestions and orders not to, offered my hand.  “Ready to go?”

He shook his head and stuck a thumb in his mouth.  Bad sign.  My training screamed “Abort!” at me, but my heart…

Traveling Means Finding Places Where We Can Be Who We Are

Image Credit Sarah Whiley I am in the liminal state of wanting to stay and needing to go. I want to hit the road and find new out-of-the-way places. There is no substitute for traveling the road less taken, To do new things and see a few unfamiliar faces. I want to go where there are no crowds of people, Just open roads with mountains in the distance afar. I’ll try new kinds of meat and…

Playing With Fire

Playing With Fire

One of the Baltimore friends had spent, or misspent, a youth working in carnivals and small circus’. As a sideshow side job, he’d dabbled in ( his words not mine) swallowing sharp objects and flame swallowing. He said his favorite tricks were cigarette lighting and something he called the Moonshot, where you’d shoot the flame straight up out of your mouth.  He neither spoke about this part of…
