And I was heard (10 words)

Tonight
I turned
a corner

the understanding
listeners
heard me.

Cj 2016

I attend Alanon...it is a place where friends and family of addicts go to find serenity and to heal and learn to take care of themselves and hopefully. ..to encourage others as well. It has been a God send to me, and I have met many wonderful people as well.

My First Love

Such a hunger
     holy hunger
         and thirst
              such joy
                   such peace

A Holy Place
      to be

Such a memory
     to return to

The Presence of God
      is in that place.

Cj 2016

a simpler time to return to....forgotten for a moment....the memory brought to life once again by another's poem....thank you!

whose laws???

Laws do not restrict the actions of people who do not follow the law...hello...and who, indeed is subject to the law??? What income and power bracket applies? ??

Just something to think about. ...

Who "gets " to keep them and who doesn't. ...

on correctly (?) thinking ...for yourself

Being politically correct. ..that blue house over there is red. We must all agree that it is red...otherwise. ..we are subject to being accused of hating the blue ( I mean red) house. ..

and

Oh yes, of course. ..the emperor is definitely wearing new clothes. ..

can't you see???

All the Kindreds

Poetry
takes on
a life
of its own
and has the inherent
unseen
connection
with all those
willing
to receive it.

To all those
wonderful
kindred spirits
out there
who take the time
to receive
what's in our hearts
and minds

who make us feel
so not
alone
.....

and though
what we say
may not be
profound
we are treated
with value

that we
belong.

Blessings
