  • cheesy

    Given enough time
    Feelin' the heat
    And under pressure
    We turn out OK
    Though sometimes a hot gooey mess
    Me and my grilled cheese
  • the naked king

    Standing on hallowed ground
    Defending his presidenthood
    The size of his crowd
    Quality of his choices
    And his bigly intellect
    Attacking detractors
    With alternative facts
    And grade school bravado
    As millions marched in protest
    Day one of 1,461
    One day at a time
    One day at a time
    Breathe
  • dark before dawn

    Sometimes,
    When driving through the rough terrain,
    Not thinking that the sun will ever disappear,
    You come upon a tunnel.
    Sometimes,
    When walking through the beautiful hills,
    Not expecting the bright day to turn dark,
    A storm blots out the blue skies.
    Sometimes,
    While cozily reading in a warm glow,
    Not anticipating the lamp will blink off,
    An outage plunges light into darkness.
    Remember,
    There's a light at the end, forge ahead.
    A rainbow will appear, keep looking up.
    One small candle can dispell the dark.
    Always, 
    Be the light.
  • context

    it sits in the barren tree
    open to the world and
    makes you wonder
    how you missed it
    in the spring when
    it was full of life
    just beginning
    or in the summer as
    the constant trips
    back and forth
    back and forth
    became just a blur
    of existence until
    the fall came when
    all the teaching and
    prodding of trial and
    error produced the
    anticipated results
    of a job well done
    and a life beginning
    to be well led but
    in the winter this
    empty nest looks so
    lonely and forlorn
    to those without
    context
  • breaking the cycle

    Anger begets hate
    Hate escalates to violence
    Violence creates sorrow
    Sorrow grows into despair
    Despair rises to desperation
    Desperation builds into anger
    
    Repeat
    The cycle continues until broken
    by mercy, justice and humility
    
    Peace begets harmony
    Harmony escalates to love
    Love creates happiness
    Happiness grows into joy
    Joy rises to contentment
    Contentment builds into peace
    Repeat
