puddle of insanity goes unnoticed.





The above was for ap art.

summer time has granted me time
to create
and to drown in my fanciful imagination.

thank you, Lord Jesus for always residing
in my heart and mind.

today is the seventh day that illness has visited me.
i hope it has enjoyed its stay.
because i know i havn't.
it's time for you to go home, illness.

while my body is overcoming sickness,
i am thankful for the mind's ability to escape.

also.
i find myself comparing to other humans.
wishing that i was "more like her/him", "like them".
i should be striving to be more like HIM, the creator.

trying to build my summer feet.
gravel bites the soles
my heel warmly greets the soil

how i LOVE to let my mind dance and float

we lay on colorful quilts




shelly and i had childhood day/night
what a special person

lately
sheer bliss
i'm enjoying freedom
and a nice boy

sun looms
as i drag my picnic blanket
out of the shadow.

three footprints on blank concrete


sitting and savoring
lets drive
and listen to the wind greeting the interior
the speeding air hitting our cheeks

i'm a sponge.
taking in the moment.

i think i lost some me-ish-ness
lets retrace steps

microscopic blades of grass are sprouting from my fingertips


lets just dangle
a little more.
from a thread.
please.

it's nice to pick a team.

i think i need to talk more.
or at least write.
otherwise
im an unopened soda can.

trees make everything alright.

i'm in love...


...with His mysteries.
He is beauty.

God works in the most peculiar ways.

I'm ready.

signed and sealed and a stamp with a leaf.


Dear change,
you used to be
my enemy.
i used to loathe you
and talk about you
behind your back.
but now
i have learned
to embrace and
accept you and
welcome you.
feel free to visit me
when the time is right.
your new friend, mary elise
