Fate

FATE

(This rambling is an entry from my personal journal from Thursday, 10/9/14.)

As you can see, I’ve missed some days of journal-ing. I am very disappointed. I wanted to fulfill my blog-a-day for October. I love October. Anyway, I’ve been sick. It’s nothing new. My colon, the son-of-a-bitch, is trying to kill me. It’s like it has a mind of its own.

Regardless, I know it will more than likely be my fate at the end of a long road.

So, mostly my idea is to only write in this journal on weekdays. Why? I don’t know. Maybe because I feel like it. I can do whatever I want. Why not? The rest of the world’s doing it.

Yep. People are doing whatever the fuck they feel like. I sure miss that Texas dirt road that I grew up on. I miss those chickens pecking around the yard, cows lowing, and the sound of crickets at night.

I miss singing with Blue Joe. I miss Tex and Lucky. I miss my quiet childhood. Sometimes I long for 1980 in our house on that beige and red sandy road.

Red dirt road

 

I miss the hot winds
Blowing sand devils around
The breezes now gone

**
Long days come and gone
Hot Texas sun gone down
Cold is here to stay

**
Spider, spin your web
Take me back to that dirt road
Rusty earth baked hard

**

Thanks for reading!

dicing time
nibbling life
busy building
false towers
on leasehold
of somebody
else’s estate
fallow shadows
of kernelstones
germinate waste
stillborn seeds
render naught
from what might
have been save
for misguided
priorities lost
to untended
potential self
sadly subsumed
in malpractice
of pride only
realized too late
one more man
none will care
to remember

Would love to say something on all ten thousand of you but realized that a poet had said it so much better than me about 200 years ago.

Where You Need to Be

You can do great things
but only if you
are in the place
where they need
to be done.

Do not wait
for life to call
nor sit at home
wondering why
your life feels
incomplete.

You can not escape
unhappy times
but you can move
through them with
grace, knowing they
will be resolved or
at least will fade away
with time.

Always focus on the solution
not on the problem.

31 Days

My apologies, all, for straying from my 31 days of October posts. I had been ill and to the hospital. I promise to make the posts up as October progresses.  Please give me another day or two to make them up. I need to get back into the swing of things.

Hopefully, I’ll feel like getting back to writing tomorrow or the next day. I haven’t been to my mundane (real) job either.  😦  Hopefully,  I can get back there as well tomorrow or the next day. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for reading!

Fly away, there is nothing
On Earth for you now

FALL RAINS

They came along cold
Those chilling rains of fall tide
Inward time’s hither

Throwback Thursday

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SCOOBY COSTUME  I HAD ONE YEAR BACK IN THE 70’S! OH, SO LONG AGO. YET, I CAN RECALL IT AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY.

Autumn breezes blow
The world turns inward and mute
Winter shields the grave

Be free of the whipping wind
