I was advised that instead of retiring, I ought to take a break. Maybe that is the better option. I have taken breaks before, but perhaps a long one is in order to get the best refreshment? I just don’t know yet how long is reasonable.

Considering
I am contemplating something, possibly retiring this blog. I haven’t made a final decision, but just been really on my mind lately, even though I still love writing. I never want to feel like I’m forcing creativity, I have mentioned that before. I don’t want to be excessively repetitive either.
Best Laid Plans
A man’s best laid plans
are futile if they’re built
on sinking sand
Instead I urge you to stand
on the solid foundation

Fire
It only takes a split second
for a fire to burn
furiously & bright
it can destroy a village
or keep someone warm
on a frosty night

Don’t Kick The Downtrodden
It bothers me immensely when I see
those who are struggling, genuinely,
getting kicked around
when they’re already down
Don’t kick the downtrodden,
show a little compassion
is it too much to ask now?

1953
A jukebox in a malt shop,
playing a sweet melody,
filled an old man’s memories
as he thought back nostalgically
the year in mind was 1953
–Flashback-
Two hearts were beating, nervously
young love was blooming beautifully,
and the future was a mystery…
All these years on,
though his Love is long gone
He still smiles & tells their story,
says “she was the one”

Crimson & brown leaves
blown round by the raging
biting wind
As the warm months for a while
come to an end

Tribulations
Everyone has tribulations
but we are not HOPELESS in them
if we trust & believe faithfully
in the Almighty
I write this as a reminder to others
as well as me

All Sufficient
Come whatever may,
remember this each day
true faith is not in vain
All sufficient is God’s grace
Let Him forever be
your dwelling place

True
