Hand of God - Flash 55

When the hand of God
Reaches out to You
Take hold, cling tightly
When you doubt it is true
The ride of your life
Fear not if you dare
Open to the unknown
Ignore signs to beware
A chance you’ll regret
Don’t let it pass by
Go with the flow
Nothing lost if you try

May In Our House - Flash 55

The Month of May
Has Been Busy In Our House
Our children have completed milestones
Our son graduates from college
A teacher he plans to be
One daughter finishes her Finance Degree
One more year for a double major
Another daughter graduates high school
College plans begin in the Fall
Besides that – It’s been slow.

TGIF for Mr. Knowitall

Tired and sore and don’t want to go.
Just want to crawl back into bed.
Even the hot and steamy shower
Did not relieve the fog in my head.
Looking forward to a restful weekend
Oh my, what a long week it’s been
Know Monday will come soon enough
So I’m enjoying myself until then

Friday Flash 55

When Is It Enough?

When 55 is a struggle to post
and the words just won't come out.

When all you want to do is cry
but instead you decide to shout.

When doing what is perceived as right
is an expecation that is unfair

When treating others well despite
it appears no one really cares.

Good Friday Off - Flash 55

Good Friday finds me off of work.
A wonderful thing indeed.
No plans are made just relaxation
It is something I desperately need

Hoping to do some reading
Writing on my blog as well
Maybe some gardening in the yard
Only time will tell.

Good Friday finds me off of work.
A wonderful thing indeed.

Amazing Mr. Knowitall
I have reached my ambitious goal!

April Goal? 100

The Catcher of Dreams (Friday 55)


image from mylot.com
The night arrives with both
good and bad dreams.
The good dreams pass
unencumbered down and
out through the feathers.
Blessing the owner with
pleasant dreams!

What fears and other
forms of incubus
have been captured
in the suede lace of this
Indian Medicine Wheel?

Only the Dream Catcher
knows the answer to that question.

Sunset in the Cove

As the evening sky begins turning shades of blue and pale pink

I watch from my vantage point on the shoreline.

Patiently, as if in slow motion, the vessels return silently to the cove

that welcomes them back home.

Another amazing harvest and the crews are thankful for the gifts

which they have been provided.

Butterfly Blue and Butterfly Orange ~ Friday Flash 55


Butterfly Blue and Butterfly Orange
come to the meadow tonight.
The lavender night sky greeting them as they traverse
through the grassy field with only one mission in mind. 
The wildflowers blooming in bright hues
of periwinkle, magenta, and navajo white
patiently wait for the soft feet of their saviors
to pollinate stamen and pistil.
