A ROLLER COASTER RIDE - A Comparison Poem
Up and down, up and down
It’s the pull of gravity isn’t it?
You’re down longer than you’re up
Isaac said it best
It’s easier going up
Slow, steady
But coming down is frightful
Fast, quick
No time to prepare
Up and down, up and down
The unsteadiness is making you sick
You’re screaming
It’s uncomfortable
You wanna get off
But you can’t… Continue

**********************************
LIGHT OUT OF AFRICA
OUR deepest fear is NOT that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our LIGHT, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ASK OURSELVES, WHO AM I TO BE SO BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED AND FABULOUS?
Actually WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?

~FOR MY SOUL~
The intensity of it makes me turn and wonder.
This feeling is so moving. It causes me to ponder.
The energy of it can be felt, and seen by others.
Don’t move; don’t blink…just sit, for a moment and think.
Shocking, because I didn’t ask for this,
But freely I accept an undeniably precious gift.
Hot, but not burning, tingling and luring.
Cymbals with no sound.
Butterflies, all sizes floating, moving, and churning.
So… Continue

I feel myself moving…running, jumping, and leaping
I can soar with HIS wind blowing under
My wings~
…I feel you far in the rear
Heart pounding, preparing to leave your space
That is a dark hole without light, nor vigor
Feeling my words…
Your soul is trying to learn a new… Continue

Barack Obama - a gaff a day keeps the white house away
Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15… Continue
