I
Like The Rain
It’s raining
and you lie curled around the afternoon
couched in the rhythm of your dreams
while I watch the world getting washed
Sometimes
I wonder
if afternoon dreams can share the mornings
or do they fade and drift away
to the land of used-to-be
Yesterday
we had a spat
and I used words as the weapons they are
while you chose guilt as self-defense
and we retreated to our corners
tied and tired
Now
it’s just me and you
and poppy seed muffins
with lemon tea beneath the April clouds
so let’s crawl under the covers
and pass the chilly day
in a nest of pillowed smiles
and cotton comfort
It’s
raining
and I like the rain
rinsing away yesterday
and watering tomorrow’s sun

Peanut
Butter & Jelly Kisses

I skidded
on a blueberry just the other day stuck to the floor with
honey, much to my dismay.
I've begged and I've pleaded and I think I sold my soul
just to get the litte one to sit on the toilet bowl.
We say "goodnight" to everything in sight only to do it
again (sixteen more times) before the morning light.
Nothing like those Monday morning peanut butter and jelly
kisses as I'm walking out the door.
I am a single parent now, and forevermore.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my job to keep
If I should die before I wake...
I pray the lord my "ex" to take.
And if I should wake before I die... I want this oatmeal
out of my eye.

In
that magnificent heavenly state between wakefulness and
sleep, I sought solace and comfort, in my need to feel replete.
You came to me.
As
we seated ourselves on a grassy knoll beside a lovely creek,
I explained the needs of my physical being, and what I'd
begun to seek. You smiled at me.
In
searching for a safe and quiet place to hide,
I'd lost that special part of me that was once so much alive.
You took my hand.
We walked along a bright white path, which seemed to have
no end. You made me look inside my soul and told me to begin.
You gave me knowledge.
I released
the past, cast off the pain, let go of the fear that bound
me. learned I was a part of God. I let His light surround
me. I found love.
I now
find life not quite as hard, and the road not quite as long.
I've learned how strong I really am and that we never walk
alone. My path is straight, my goals are set; it is only
good I see. The Love, the Light, the Strength of God were
always here in Me.
