number manipulation

When I add up the age of all my family and compare that to my age, I am not that old. When I think of temperature in Antarctica, I'm not so cold. Compared to a hippo or an elephant I am not really fat. And I can squash a gnat because I'm strong like that. I've walked through trial and tribulation and that's farther than a marathon. I went to see myself yesterday but she and I were gone.

LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED IN COLOR!!!!!

something missing in my heart

I lost a beautiful feather. It blew away while I was holding it, admiring it, thinking about the color of it and touching its softness. How does it defy gravity, how does it rise above, how does it fly? And where did it go when it left my hand?

look

After the heat and the bubbling,
when it had all boiled out,
I looked in my pan.

After the refining fire and becoming,
when life was near gone,
I looked in my mirror.

After the baptism and burning,
when Satan was bound,
I looked to my God.

After
when you look,
Is what it all boils down to.

homesick when you're there

Buttons, the small black kitten sits on the arm of the couch and tentatively he looks around. Buttons, the soft black kitten stretches, yawns and mews. Buttons the lonely black kitten who still remembers yesterday and mother cat and warm milk. Buttons, the sweet black kitten, who doesn't know he's home.
