ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

I hope you have been having a nice summer. It’s been a nice
one up here. I called up dish and they sent a guy to adjust our
satellite dish. Now our signals are coming in much better and
not losing our signal all of the time when it sprinkles or a few
clouds pass by LOL. The weather has been pretty nice lately.
Right now it’s partly cloudy and 78 F degrees at 4:30 in the
afternoon. Yep. not bad. It’s supposed to stay in the 70’s for
the next 10 days or at least that’s in the forecast LOL. Then
it shows at the end of that 10 days to get in the upper 60’s so
Mr. Summer isn’t doing us too dirty hehehe. Yea, I have many
weather programs on my computer that I use. I compare notes
on them all and round it out LOL. So what else is there to talk
about? Well, the boys are doing great. It’s funny though that
neither of them likes to stay outside for long. I took let them
out yesterday and I went out to try and play with them and get
a few pictures, but the silly boys would not come down off the
porch hehehe. I had to finally act as though we were going for
a ride and open the back door of the car and that got them off
of the porch, but as I sat in the car seat in back I had trouble
keeping them out LOL. Benny kept trying to climb over me
to get inside hehehe. I got a few pictures of all that commotion.
They managed to get passed me and in the car and then it was
a struggle to get them out without having to go for a ride first.
Hehehehe they love to ride in the car with us. If we don’t
let them go with us, then the droopy faces are shown as they
mope into their crates LOL. If the weather is too warm or
cold, we cannot take them with us. Don’t want them to die
from heat exhaustion or freeze to death. Of course we most
times will take them with us during the winter unless we have
a lot of groceries to get and there is no room for them hehehe.
We love our boys and can tell that they love us. Right now
they are both lying down in the floor behind Judy and I and
enjoying the AC LOL. We love our portable air conditioner.
LOL Judy said it’s the best thing that I ever bought hehehe.
Of course she’s kind of fond of our radiator heaters too :).
Yeppers, we are doing OK, other than the aggravation from
this computer, but if I ever get enough money, I will send
my other PC to Ron and Mandy at Century Computer in
Texas and have them take a look at it. Hopefully I can do
that soon. Yet, for now I’m managing to do my stationery
and send my emails using Judy’s PC. It’s a lot of trouble,
but it works. If I ever lose that option or do not manage to
get my other PC fixed, then I guess my emails will come to
an end being darned Windows 8 with its Windows Live email
will not let me send my grouped email. Oh well, until that
day comes, ENJOY :). It’s still 78 F degrees at 5 PM and
Milo is still lying behind me on the floor, but Benny has left
the room. I guess he’s gone to his favorite recliner in the
living room. He’ll be back hehehe. LOL hey guess what?
While I was writing, the temperature dropped to 77 degrees.
Judy and I have started an exercise regimen using a video
that she bought that is for senior citizens. We’ve been doing
the exercises in the living room being there is more room in
there. My body hurts for all of the ankle and leg work as
well as the shoulder being my body has gone through Hell
and back LOL. My ankles are still swollen and my hip
and shoulder are still messed up from my many falls and
all, so yeppers, it do hurt, but I’m not giving up. Judy and
I are wanting to lose some weight and maybe even get in
a little better condition. Hopefully as time goes, we will!
OK, so Benny just strolled back in from the living room
and is back in the floor behind Judy and I in front of the AC.
I think it might be a little warm in the living room due to the
sunshine shining through the windows hehehe. The windows
are opened in there, but sometimes that don’t help a lot ;).
Though by late evening it begins cooling down quite nice.
There isn’t much on TV tonight to watch, so we might just
goof around with Farm Town on Facebook or something.
Ice Road Truckers comes on at 10 PM, but that’s about
it on our favorites 🙂 We’ve seen all of the other programs
that we normally watch. Milo has moved to right beneath
my feet and is now laying stretched out LOL. He looks
comfy hehehe. Wish I could say the same about me LOL.
He took away my leg room ;). OK so he got up and is now
hovering around my legs wanting me to pet him hehehehe.
There, I petted ya, now go lie in your bed. He’s started
pawing at the treat bag. I gave the bag to Judy and said
please give them a few so they will maybe let me finish this
journal before I die LOL. Ok so here we go hopefully with
no more boys a wanting hehehe. The Pearce’s Place has
most surely been blest with love. Judy’s mom has moved
in with her sister Trudy for a while until the nursing homes
can find an opening. I hope it doesn’t take too long, but
for the moment it will work. Judy’s sister and Dennis are
going to try their best to fix up their house to be better
accessible to her mom with railings down the hall and many
other things. Keep them in your prayers. Judy’s mom is
not in good health, but cannot live in the house any more
that she has lived in for so many years. Thankfully she
has family to help her out :). God is always in control of
everything, whether we believe it or not. Some instances
are made to wake up others, and many are allowed because
good things will be transpired. Yes sometimes we must fall
into bad times to make us look up and pray or to become
thankful for the smaller things. Many will blame Satan for
way too much, giving him credit for things that are just of
our own self will. God gave us freedom to choose our paths
in life and learn what we must. Yet of course many will
open doors that were never meant to be opened and fall
prey to their own journey. Of course God is always there
with His many angels to give help when it is needed, but
often ones will drift away so far, that the only way for a
resolve is death. I’ve heard of and seen many that have
attacked others with weapons and killed others and made
their own pathway to Hell. Yet those deaths are not in
vain, for they are new angels born so there is a gain within
Heaven. We can still talk to our loved ones and they can
hear us. We might not know that they are watching over
us, but they are. Thank God for the angels that have
come to help us when we’re weak and to be our guides.
Now I believe it’s time once again for me to begin my little
search through all that I have written or should I say 🙂
typed and see if I can find me a good word or phrase that
I can use for the title for today’s brand new poem. So
it’s away I go to that place of my recollection that I like
to call RECOLLECT VILLE. I think I might of stumbled
upon a good title, but yet the proof is in the pudding or
so they say LOL. So, here goes nothing!

Drift Away

When you’re with worries
of now and agin
just drift away
to a time better been.
Let not your problems
to be all you see.
Just drift away
in a prayer given free.
Find all the blessings
that God gave today
and take a breath now
and just drift away.
Seek for the moments
that you might of missed
and drift away
to an angels assist.
If now your pathways
have now just a frown
just drift away
to a much better found.
Seek for a big smile
from so long ago
as you drift away
to something you know.
Let not your memories
fill full of sadness.
Drift away now
to a heart full of gladness.
Drift away surely
to a much better place
filled full of blessings
and also God’s Grace.

Ok so I guess I over killed on the rambling a little huh hehe.
Oh well, I gave ya something to read. Anyways, I hope you
enjoyed my poem. Hopefully it made at least a little sense to
ya. It makes sense to me. It’s the way that I think hehehehe.
Yes of course I’m sure many of you think I have a weird way
of thinking LOL. Oh well, it’s me! So Milo has finally made
his rounds and is now once again lying at my feet or should I
say right beside me using my chair leg as a pillow LOL making
it hard to move. I’m afraid I will roll over him hehehehehehe.
Well, at least I’m almost done writing. The temperature has
dropped again and it’s now 75 F degrees at 6:00 PM. Yeppers,
it’s cooling down pretty quick. So, I reckon it’s time for me to
be telling you what I tell you every week and that is, I wrote
some more poems and haiku. I said last week that I might write
a few Christmas poems and so I did hehehe. I wrote once agin
10 poems and 3 of them are Christmas poems :). Also once
agin I wrote 22 more haiku for all of my haiku lovers out there.
I hope you find one or two or either or both that make you
smile or help you think. Now I believe it’s time for me to be
searching for that confounded off switch, but not before I wish
you a most wonderful God filled week. Remember, Jesus
loves you and we do too. Now to find that off switch that loves
to play hide and seek in the worst way LOL. Ya picked a good
spot this week being Milo hasn’t stayed in one spot for long
today. Yet lying on his back (on top of his hair) is not too
great being as I look down, that is all I can freaking see LOL.
Hello, gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

Now on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehehe 🙂

Christmas in July

The summers weather
daily way
makes me think of
Christmas day.
So many things
I see and hear
make me seek for
Christmas cheer.
The seasons foothold.s
yet to come
here in summertime’s
July sun.
Soon the snow will
float on down
and then cover
up the ground.
Yet those dreams that
snowflakes fly
are just Christmas
in July.

When Summer’s Gone

As the minutes tick by
and moments are seen
the stages are set
for the greatest to dream.
Summertime wishing
for things better done
often becomes a
new setting sun.
When summers gone
and fall has arrived
Christmas is surely
much better derived.
Some might see snowflakes
and some may not see,
but Christmastime is still
for you and for me.
So during summertime
let your heart to dream
while seeking blessings
of Christmas soon seen.

When Time is Done

Often our thinking
is not very great
when we think we have
another great date.
Time might be ending
as now falls away
and when time is done
there’s no time to pray.
So with that thinking
let now be your stride
as you let Jesus
to come then inside.
Let not your chances
to fade from your view
and become what all
you wished then to do.
When time is done
your chance is no more
for to let Jesus
to walk in your door

I’m Often Found

While I am looking
up at the sky
I’m often found
just asking God why.
Why is the sky blue
and clouds fluffy white?
Why is there only
starlight at night?
Why does the moon
sometimes look so big
and on some others
look just like a twig?
I’m often found
looking out at the day
while I am asking
God how and which way.
Why are the blossoms
of flowers that grow
closed up at nightfall
I just wanna know?
I often see shadows
of things day and night
and I’m often found
asking what makes each sight.
What makes the morning
so wonderfully fine?
I guess it’s the dawning
of the new days sunshine.

Long Ago

Finding a moment
of times long ago
sometimes becomes as
rivers that flow.
Fragments of turnstiles
long ago finds
becomes as ventures
to greatest of times.
Long ago stages
set up to see
now are the journals
of our history.
Christmastimes essence
seems black and white
while long ago
displays every sight.
All of those pictures
that our mind displays
bring us to long ago
thens Christmas days.
Scenes with tree lights
hung up to glow
sometimes with blessings
with white Christmas snow.
My long ago
that I now remember
is of the greatest
found in December.
Those Christmas nights
I sat wide awake
awaiting for Santa
there’s no mistake.
I nodded off then
after a while
sleeping there softly
with my Christmas smile.
Soon morning came
and then under the tree
there were some presents
from Santa to me.
Now as the minutes
and hours have passed,
my long ago
is what that shall last.
Those great memories
of times gone by
are long ago
I shall not deny.
They live within me
still now each day
and they will never
ever go away.

That Big Round Moon

The night of nights
that comes in tune
sometimes shows
that big round moon.
It glows so greatly
in the night
sometimes seeming
like sunlight.
That big round moon
that I now see
often displays
patterns free.
Through the clouds
as they float by
that big round moon
is still so high.
It seems to shimmer
shining through
the clouds at night
a wondrous hue.
It brings a smile
for me to find
that big round moon
of time to time.
The dark of night
has nothing to fear,
for that moon
is always near.
It might be shining
faraway
while you’re having
light of day,
but it’ll be there
then to swoon
as it shines
that big round moon.

Quiet Storms

So many troubles
of ones each day
might be storms
of a quiet array.
You might not see
those storms inside,
for they’re hidden
and denied.
Many quiet storms
live and breathe
as we may not
then perceive.
So sometimes ones
might seem great
and their lives be
wished abate.
Quiet storms live
on down the road
and they might
one day explode.
Learn to let God
ease your storm
and He’ll help you
to reform.
Peace will come
as moments pass
and those quiet storms
will not last.

A Little Dream

A simple thought
that sleep acquired
becomes dreams
of hope transpired.
A little dream
that comes to be
in my mind
shows great to see.
Sights of things
within my dreams
might become
as rushing streams.
Splashing waters
in my sight
a little dream
becomes at night.
The simple portions
painted true
a little dream
gives me to view.
Through the night
a dreamful way
shows me wonders
light of day.
Then with the end
of oceans dory
a little dream
will end the story.

Promise of Angels

When God sees troubles
He sends us a prayer
the promise of angels
with His love and care.
That very promise
is one that ones lose
when they get lost in
their choices they choose.
Yet still God often
sends angels down
to help out someone
that’s donning a frown.
The promise of angels
to watch and to pray
often is what that
helps us each day.
Yet many people
get lost in their world,
not letting Lord God
with angels unfurled.
Let not the angels
to just watch you die.
Pray for their guidance
through Lord God on High.

Crystals

Scenes in the water
that froze there so well
might be as crystals
in every detail.
Crystals that form from
the water that ran
often become as
someone’s piece of land.
Maybe a glacier
or iceberg to see
as many crystals
are found then at sea.
Crystals of ice
can also fall down
as that of hail stones
found on the ground.
So many crystals
can become our view
as they all sparkle
a wonderful hue.
Maybe icicles
that hang down below
or maybe snowflakes
within mounds of snow.
Crystals will glisten
as sunlight is found
sometimes as magic
God gave to astound.
Sometimes the crystals
will sparkle so bright
that it is seeming
they’re making the light.

Haiku
for July 27, 2013

Within a dreamer
is the hope for tomorrow
if the dreams are good.

Tomorrows verdict
comes from our minutes today
either good or bad.

The sounds of a drum
beat as rhythms within words
if you will listen.

A troubled person
might stand now right before you
and you not know it.

When a shadow fades
it leaves no trace of itself,
but a memory.

The sight of morning
brings new choices you can choose
as seconds tick on.

As a flower blooms
it prepares for it to die
yet to thrive again.

As many will walk
there are many that cannot
that we’re unaware.

With seasons changes
are the magnificent views
that are there to see.

While a person swims
they might fall prey to the waves
that can fill their lungs.

When a person lies
they lose a part of themselves
that many trusted.

Windows we view from
might not show the honest truth
because they’re rose colored.

When making a friend
don’t start with a deception
of reality.

While you might be right
it might be best not to brag
and just keep quiet.

The seams of your life
are the pathways you follow
that join together.

When in a bad storm
step away for a moment
and kneel down and pray.

A scented rose bud
makes itself a bees target
to steal its nectar.

Without a morning
there is no chance for changes
for evening to find.

Harvesting dewdrops
is the conquest of flowers
to help them to bloom.

Right now is a time
that won’t come around again
so make good of it.

Learning from stupid
brings a most dismal outcome
that needs not repeat.

Our paths might connect
in some unfortunate times
so don’t be stupid.

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

How are you today? We’re doing pretty well. The temperatures
have cooled down a bit. The temps for this week are supposed to
range from low 70’s to upper 70’s F. Right now it’s 72 with a high
supposed to be 73 F degrees. A little rain’s expected off and on
throughout the week. So far it’s not been a bad summer, at least
not for us 🙂 I know many of you are dealing with triple digits heat
and either too much or too little rain. My heart goes out to you.
Judy and I have enjoyed swimming in her sister Trudy’s swimming
pool. The boys have enjoyed it as well hehehe. Yeppers, Benny
and Milo had their turn at swimming in the pool. We might go agin
in the near future. Of course with the temperatures the way they
are now, the water might be a tad cold LOL. Have to dunk down
in the water real quick to get used to it hehehe. Benny and Milo
have yet to of wanted to play much in their kiddy pool, but then
Milo doesn’t like to stay outside long and Benny always likes to
do what Milo does LOL. If I get to feeling better, I’ll get out
there with them both and maybe sit in the pool and invite them in
hehehe. LOL if anything, they have a humongous water bowl.
I doubt Milo can drink that thing dry hehehe. Today though is
a lazy day. Judy went back to bed to catch a nap and Milo is in
there with her using her legs as a pillow LOL. I’m sure Benny
is in the living room lying on my recliner. He loves for me to
come in there with him and sit in the recliner so that he can hop
up in my lap for me to hold him. For some silly reason, these
dogs love my lap hehehe. If I hold one the other gets jealous
and holding them both at the same time is not an option LOL.
Right now the house is quiet aside from the sounds of the fans
running. I’ve got the air conditioner set to dry mode to pull
the humidity out of the air. Judy asked if it would bother me
for her to watch TV in the bed room. I said go ahead, it’s on.
She was worried that the sound would bother me while I was
trying to write. LOL the fans drown out the sound in here 🙂
It’s actually quite nice, because it also drowns out the sounds
from outside such as my neighbors mowing LOL. Life is good.
We’ve most surely been blessed. Of course we do have a few
bombshells dropped on us time to time LOL. My on & off switch
on my PC monitor fell off and it will not stay on. Now I have to
use a toothpick to turn it off and on LOL. It’s not worth getting
upset about. It still works 🙂 I have yet to of been able to send
my favorite computer to Texas to get it worked on, but I will.
Darned bills keep putting a damper on what I would like to do.
Our landlord is out at the driveway now with his backhoe trying
to fill in the holes and smooth it out. Thank God. Every time
we drive down the road to our driveway it almost jars my insides
to pieces hehehe. From the road to our driveway was like a
oversized ant lion din, trying to catch cars hehehehe. I could
barely hear his tractor over the fans LOL. There isn’t much
else to report from up here. We’re actually quite boring LOL.
Judy and I have cut down our time on Farm Town and all, but
we still play it maybe every other day. Tonight we’re going to
watch Ice Road Truckers and American Ninja. God only knows
what else we’ll watch hehehe. We often just play it by ear to
see what is on that we wanna watch. Fortunately, we both
like the same stuff 🙂 We’re fixing to start a work out session
using a video that she ordered. The video is for senior citizens.
We should be able to do it without too much complication hehe.
I’ve been slacking off on food quite a bit and lost 10 pounds,
but I have a long way to go LOL. My ankles are feeling better
now since my little encounter with that little stinker (SKUNK).
Running will never be my forte hehehehe. Never was and it
never will be! I’ve always had leg problems. My left leg has
pins in it that give me heck when I try to go through security
at an airport LOL. My ankles have always been weak so they
fracture and sprain real easy. Oh well, I can still walk and
that is great. It might hurt a bit, but I’ve been dealing with
pain all of my life hehehe. It’s good to wake up and look out
of the window and see the beauty that God has given for me
to see and smell. To also hear the birds chirping makes the
picture that much more vibrant. Many cannot see or hear
the beauty and so their smell is what brings them joy. Many
cannot see and so are enlightened by the sounds they hear
and the ones that cannot hear, look harder at the sights so
that they can find blessings that many miss. There is always
someone that is in worse shape than you, so be thankful for
what you have. Now I believe it’s time for me to be searching
back through all that I’ve written to see if I can find a good
word or phrase that might work well for the title for today’s
brand new poem. So it’s away I go to that little place of my
recollection that I always like to call RECOLLECT VILLE.
I think I may have found a good title, but first I have to look
and see if I haven’t already used it hehehe. Nope, so here
goes. I hope I can write a decent poem using it 🙂

Many Cannot

Your day might seem grey
as some clouds blow in
but in God’s way
your blessings begin.
Many find times
that others pass by
as other minds
are asking God why.
So many cannot
do things that we do
but they find a lot
in their day through and through.
So often doorways
of ventures in time
have often more ways
to what that’s sublime.
Some people seek for
what’s only store bought
and do not see more
for many cannot.

I hope that poem made sense since it didn’t cost any cents :).
LOL, I do have fun with words. The English language is the
only one that has that many words that sound alike but are
spelled differently and mean something totally different hehe.
Like, Resume. I think I’ll resume writing my resume, or
I believe I will (buy) that and put it (by) my other stuff and say
good (bye) to it for a while. There are tons of words like that.
There are also words that made Hooked On Phonics to fall
very short of its goal. Such as good and food. Say them and
tell me they sound alike LOL. Yep, there are tons of words
that their spelling along with pronunciation makes no sense
at freaking all hehehe. How about two, too and to! Ya see
what I mean LOL. Anyways, I just thought I would share
a little of my thinking with ya and maybe give ya a little smile.
Now I believe it’s time for me to be telling you what I tell you
every week and that is, I wrote some more poems and haiku.
Yeppers, 10 more poems and 22 more haiku for all of my
haiku lovers out there. I might write a few Christmas poems
this week 🙂 so be prepared. Ya might read a few next week.
I guess it’s time for me to be searching for that freaking off
switch, but not before I wish you a most wonderful God filled
week. Remember, Jesus loves you and we do too. Now, to
find that confounded off switch that’s not so great at hiding,
or at least not lately LOL. Ah Hah, Benny snuck back in
here with me and he is lying in the floor right beside me in
his little doggy bed. Guess what, mister off switch thought
it would be a good hiding place within Benny’s hair, but
not lying on top of it as plain as day hehehehehehehehe.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

P.S.
Milo just came in here and looked at me to tell me that he
needs to go out and potty 🙂 He’s a good boy. They both
are 🙂 We love them.

P.S. again 🙂
Judy dyed her hair purple. It actually looks pretty cool 🙂
and Benny turned 2 years old July 16th. He’s growing up,
but still acts like a pup hehehehe! We bought them some
birthday hats hehehe. They looked so sweet on them 🙂
PEACE and out

Now on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehehe 🙂

Passionate People

Hearts with passion
gathered true
can become a
life anew.
Letting Jesus
in your heart
gives that passion
strength to start.
Passionate people
day to day
through Lord Jesus
find a way.
Seeing through the
troubled times
hearts with passion
change designs.
Making moments
that were sad
into blessings
not so bad.

Time Begins

Now and then
our time begins
as some waves
of outs and ins.
Time begins
with things we find
often just
inside our mind.
Things might seem
to dissipate
while time begins
from date to date.
Certain signs
of memories
might be times
of rolling seas.
As the pages
turned and read
time might seem
a riverbed.
While some might
just seem insane
time begins
and gives its gains.
For those moments
remembered true
time begins
for me and you.

The Wonders of Time

While time’s ticking onwards
the season’s might find
things that we’re seeing
as a cinematic time.
A living books pages
that are turning in style
as the wonders of time
produce memory’s mile
Each second counted
is found in our view
sometimes as moments
a little askew.
The wonders of time
might show us one day
how that we’ve wandered
in the wrong way.
Then as time passes
the scenes that we find
will become lessons
from the wonders of time.

So You Say

Today you’re too busy
to do what you should
or so you say
there’s no time for some good.
You’re yesterdays travels
have determined what you do
or so you say
you can’t start something new.
Today’s filled with choices
to do better things
and make those nightmares
into some good dreams.
Yet so you say
you might do time agin
things so destructive
and say you can’t win.
Today is a new day
so begin with a smile
and don’t use your past days
to live in denial.
Find all the blessings
that live in today
and don’t just continue

Today A Breeze

I have awakened
to summer at glance
as I see breezes
with their song and dance.
Blowing in singing
some songs of its gust
as then it also
raises some dust.
Things found a blowing
within today’s breeze
as also rustling
the leaves on the trees.
Today a breeze
becomes as a song
singing its music
with gusts oh so strong.
It cools the moments
in summertime’s stride
as it brings fresh air
for us to reside.

An Awful Smell

One time we found
our life compelled
to hold our nose
for something smelled.
This time of night
when we sat here
we could sense
something real near.
An awful smell
within the night
that was hidden
out of sight.
Our dog went out
to check it out
and I caught him
before the bout.
It was a skunk
that wandered in
and his smell
he brought with him.
He left us soon
to return back home
and took what we
did not condone
He snuck back in
one night so dark
as I heard
our Benny bark.
He made himself
a home inside
Benny’s doghouse
then to hide,
yet that did not
work for me
because that smell
just could not be.
So I poked
and prodded the guy
to make him want
to say goodbye.
I ended up
shaking him well
inside the doghouse
built so well.
Yet of course
the bottom fell out
due to me shaking
it all about.
Then there he was
just staring as me
with a little
grin I could see.
I quickly ran
to the other side
and got behind
attempting to hide.
Then I so gracefully
picked up the house,
and walked to the woods
to shake the skunk out.
I turned on my flashlight
aimed to the ground
and that little bugger
surely was found.
Smiling at me
with that little bitty grin
I said to myself
here we go agin.
I ran to the house
as fast as a breeze
and let the guy
head off to the trees.

Not Just Waiting

Sometimes our vision
is clouded by time
while we’re just waiting
for our best design.
Yet often minutes
will pass us on by
while we’re just waiting
not giving a try.
It’s often actions
that many are viewing
not seeing truly
what we are doing.
They might see segments
of what all we’ve done
and not be seeing
what new we’ve begun.
Often ones stories
are anticipating
while they are missing
as they’re just waiting.
Make good the moments
that God’s given you
while not just waiting
for something anew.
Today is a blessing
so make good begin
by making the bad times
to turn to a grin.

The Days of Summer

Scenes are pictured
black and white
as the nights
are within sight,
but when daylight
comes to be
the days of summer
shine so free.
Swimmers swimming
in the waves
of the times of
summer days.
The days of summer
come and go
with the passion
many know.
Scenes become as
memories
many swimming
in the seas.
Then on oceans
moments shore
come the times
that we adore.
Making footprints
in the sand
as we’re walking
hand in hand
The days of summer
I recall
are the times
we had a ball.
Taking pictures
of the waves
the days of summer,
summer days.

From you know who 🙂

Tomorrows Wish

As today’s ended
our sights become
often found as then
tomorrows sun.
Tomorrows wish
is many times seen
that of but only
found in a dream.
A little wishful
for tomorrow’s stride
often helps ones
along for the ride.
Tomorrows wish
what so many seek
often is there
from week to week.
Wishing senselessly
times to be
is not so good
for you or me.
Learn to keep
your wishful gaze
as just dreaming
better days.
Tomorrows wish
might then come true
if it’s good
for me and you.
Let God be the
guiding force
tomorrows wish
to keep on course.

A Long Time Gone

In the shadows
dusk to dawn
things might be
a long time gone.
A moments time
that many see
is just within
their history.
A long time gone
as minutes fade
ones might see
of which to wade.
As the waters
times record
a long time gone
says climb aboard.
Then those shadows
that they’ve found
are of them
again around.
Yet those moments
dusk to dawn
are still found
a long time gone.

Haiku
for July 20, 2013

Seeing a shadow
of limbs blowing in the breeze
might look real scary.

Fantasy thinking
creates many pictures
that could become real.

Wind blown escapades
drive many to destruction
with sails full of lies.

Beyond this second
a lifetime’s been created
that’s now awaiting.

Patterns in people
often begin by mistake,
but we can stop them.

There is nobody
that’s without imperfection.
Only Jesus Christ.

We each are flowers
awaiting our times to bloom
as life moves along.

Believing in love
means believing in Jesus
for He is pure Love.

Seconds of today
might fall prey to our despair
for things we have lost.

Long winded people
will keep talking on and on
with nothing to say.

Moments perception
could become our destruction
if not understood.

Glimmers of sunshine
can become highlights best seen
as mornings sunrise.

Changing emotions
needs you first to change viewpoints
of all things perceived.

As time moves along
it leaves trails in the footprints
as glimmers of time.

When in much sadness
look for good times remembered
and then find a smile.

Hearts that are broken
can be mended through Jesus
as time goes its way.

A forest of trees
can hide the beauty within,
so look more closely.

Across an ocean
are many we may not see,
but yet still know them.

Inquisitive ones
will often get themselves burned
learning the hard way.

No is a big word
when it’s used on your children.
Don’t over use it.

Learn to look forwards
as moments of time move on,
but use what you learned.

Scenes from a page
of our life’s book of turnstiles
might bring us a smile.

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

I hope you’re doing well. It’s been rather eventful around
here the last few days. We’ve had a visit from a skunk that
almost got Benny a few times, but I was able to snatch him
up before he got sprayed LOL. Friday night at midnight we
had hopefully our last visit from that stinky little critter. He
for some reason got in the doghouse and when I let Benny
and Milo out to go potty, Benny noticed him and began the
bout of pawing and growling at him hehehe. I saw him out
there fighting with something and had a flashback of the
night of Benny barking at the stinky lil critter rummaging
around behind our oil tank. I snatched Benny up and looked
inside the doghouse and there that little stinker was. That
skunk had decided to try and make Benny’s doghouse into
his own home, but through a lot of poking and prodding
along with a few whacks from a mop handle, I was able
to make him lose most of his stink. LOL I tried to scoot
him down to the the door of the doghouse and make him
leave, but he wouldn’t budge. I turned the house over
to try and shake him out, but surprise, the bottom fell
out being it was that way for easy clean up LOL. There
we were, mano a mano staring at one another hehehehe.
I quickly ran around to the top of the doghouse where
I gently picked up the doghouse and carried it out near
the woods and shook it out in the field. It was dark and
I couldn’t see if I had shook him out, so I turned on my
flashlight and shined it down on the ground to where the
little black and white critter from stink vill was looking
at me once again. I ran like the wind or as fast as my
feet would take me which was not that fast, but fast
enough and sprained both of my ankles in the worse way.
My right ankle is swollen almost twice its normal size.
My left ankle isn’t that bad LOL, but they both hurt.
Judy and I were supposed to go to a cook out at her
sisters house Saturday, but I had to stay home. Judy
made a whole lot of tasty things to take to her sisters
house. Unfortunately, she didn’t save any for me
and I got none. Oh well, that’s my life LOL, a day
late and a dollar short. I fixed her and I a hamburger
early this morning being I was starving hehehehe.
I don’t like to eat alone. I never have. Most times
when I was alone I would just eat one meal a day.
Yet now of course with all of my intestinal issues I
don’t even think about eating, because it just sends
me to the freaking bathroom and who can eat after
that hehehe. The weather today is hot. Right now
it’s 89 F degrees and tomorrows supposed to get up
to 90 F degrees. My life in a nutshell hehehehehe.
Judy and I are planning on going over her sisters
house sometime this week to go swimming again in
her pool 🙂 I’m sure Benny and Milo will love that.
I know I will, of course that’s if I am able to climb
up the latter to get in the pool due to my ankles LOL.
Oh well, time will tell. I have been trying to stay off
of them, but I can’t seem to beam myself into the
bathroom for some reason and must freaking walk
and that’s an ongoing trip in itself hehehehehehehe.
When Judy got home around 1 AM Benny and Milo
were so tired from playing with their dog cousins and
all that they both laid down and never moved until
just a few hours ago when Milo could hold his bladder
no longer LOL. Milo went straight to barking at us
saying I’ve gotta go! So now they are both up and
about doing what they always do 🙂 Acting as shadows
as they follow us here and there. Milo just plopped
down in the floor right behind me and is resting again.
OK so now onto another bit of info. Judy now has
PURPLE hair. She dyed it a couple of days ago and
it actually looks pretty good, although I loved the
platinum blond look she had when she was getting her
hair ready for the purple dye. I wasn’t sure if I would
like the colors, but NOT BAD not at all! Though she
is having a bit of a problem with her purple hair dye
bleeding onto her clothes and all. I told her to wash
her hair a few times and maybe that would stop it like
washing brand new colored clothes to get the dye that
didn’t hold well to wash out so it doesn’t discolor the
other clothes by bleeding into them. Judy looks very
nice in her purple hair, but I would love her no matter
what color hair she has. I had though become attached
to her brunette/brown hair though 🙂 As long as she’s
happy with it, that’s all that matters. I took a lot of
pictures of her with her new hair color. Even got one
that she took using her PC cam of her with her blond
hair 🙂 So what else is in the news? We’re getting some
good use out of our portable air conditioner. It isn’t
perfect, but it makes it comfortable to sleep and that
is our most important issue other than not frying in
the PC room LOL. Well, there’s not much else to
report from the Pearce’s Place. Judy and I are still
doing our regular scheduled things hehehehehehehe.
I recorded all of our favorite TV programs last night
so that we can watch them in our leisure. God has been
good to us. He prevented Benny and me from getting
the smelly end of a skunk 🙂 Benny has not a clue to
how close he was to becoming an outdoor dog for a
while LOL. Thank you God for protecting us. Life
can always be worse, so enjoy the moments that you
have. You might look back on them and find a smile.
Well, it’s time once again for me to begin my journey
back through all that I have written to see if I can
find a good word or phrase that might work well for
the title for today’s brand new poem. So it’s away I
go to that place of my recollection that I always like
to call RECOLLECT VILLE. I think I found a good
title around the middle of my rambling hehehehehehe.
So now let’s see if I can do anything with it LOL 🙂

Another Bit of Info

The things remembered
as days go by
often leave us
just wondering why
Another bit of info
might just become
the things we remember
of which that we’ve done.
Another moments turnstile
might open real wide
allowing some issues
painstaking applied.
Another bit on info
might show you so true
how the painstaking
taught things unto you.
Sometimes a journey
of a real bumpy road
might become lessons
that God has bestowed.
He allows turnstiles
sometimes day to day
to help give us lessons
to guide us His way.
Another bit of info
might surely be found
to help with your moments
to find solid ground.

I hope you enjoyed my rambling and maybe even the poem 🙂
It’s 88 F degrees right now at 5:30 PM. It’s supposed to get
down to 60 F degrees tonight or should I say by morning hehe.
I’m gonna have to hurry and finish this so I can fix myself a
bite to eat. Judy ate her some cereal a little bit ago, so she
might not be hungry. I’m pretty sure the boys are hungry or
they should be hehehe. All they had was snacks last night at
Trudy’s house. I’ll feed them in a bit as well. See what I mean
about being impossible to stay off of my ankle hehehehehehe.
Things to do! I reckon it’s time for me to be telling you what
I tell you every week and that is I wrote some more poems and
haiku. Yeppers, 10 more poems and 22 more haiku for all of
my haiku lovers out there. So with that said, I guess I need
to begin my search for that confounded off switch that sort of
likes to play the skunk game. Hide and seek! Yet, before I
begin searching I need to wish you a most blessed God filled
week. Remember, Jesus loves you and we do too. Now, to
find that off switch hehehe. Ah hah, there ya are ya little
bugger. Hiding in floor where Milo was lying won’t save ya.
He’s moved over to my right side now to lie in the floor 🙂
You should’ve followed suit LOL. I might not of noticed you.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

P.S. Milo got antsy the other day wanting his Scooby Snacks
and got his head stuck in the box trying to get one LOL. They
do love their Scooby Snacks hehehehe! Also I hung up our
scare crow that we bought for last Halloween the other day and
Benny cannot get it in his mind that it is not alive hehehehe.
Oh yea hehehe P.S. again. We bought the boys a little 5 foot
round 1 foot deep plastic kiddy pool. Judy and I are fixing to
take them outside and let them play in it hehehe.

Now on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehehe 🙂

Shades of Blue

Up above
the sky of blue
shows us all
a daily hue.
Shades of blue
just floating free
might be found
within the sea.
Flavors painted
low and high
shades of blue
give their reply.
Colors painted
here and there
that so many
don’t compare.
Shades of blue
from dark to light
come into
our day and night.

Within A Breath

A single breath of
air in time
can be best
of yours and mine.
Within a breath
is hopeful hue
that through prayer
is strength brand new.
A moments time
that we breathe in
can become
the end of sin.
Yet of course
the breath we breathe
needs in Christ
us to believe.
Then wiped clean
our slate of time
within a breath
is found divine.
Our fleshly bodies
will still show
where we’ve been
and where we’d go,
but through Christ
our Heavens path
will shine through
the aftermath.

Sunshine’s Shower

Beams of sunshine
shine on down
making shadows
on the ground.
Little light beams
shine on through
leaves of green
to me and you.
Sunshine’s shower
makes designs
upon our daily
moments minds.
Scenes of beauty
far and wide
sunshine’s shower
is applied.
Even oceans
waters deep
sunshine’s shower
makes a streak.
With it’s daily
radiant hues
sunshine’s shower
makes the news.
Allowing fluffy
clouds of white
to join in
and change the sight.
Sunshine’s shower
then becomes
as some raindrops
beating drums.

Another Chance

Often moments
we remember
are just pains
of burning ember.
Yet if chances
were made true
we might make
the worse of two.
Another chance
that many seek
might just find
a dismal peek.
Let your lessons
not be found
as just another
chance around.
Use those lessons
daily true
making better
things you do.

The Edge of Day

As time moves on
with ticking essence
the edge of day
shows moons of crescent.
Scenes are ended
and begun
the edge of day
with end of sun.
Soon the moonlight
comes to play
often looking
just like day.
Brightest moonlight
shines and shows
on what all
its time bestows.
The edge of day
brings chances seen
found within
a nighttime dream.

God and Prayer

When troubles come
to you each day
take the time
to kneel and pray.
Through God and prayer
the day can be
much better then
for you and me.
When you’re saddened
from what’s seen
put Lord Jesus
on your team.
Then those saddened
days gone by
will be filled
with Adonai.
Yes some troubles
will still come,
but peace will grow
through God’s Own Son.

Yesterdays Shadow

With every perception
of yesterdays wage
costs are perceived as
turns of a page.
Yesterdays shadow
might seem to be found
right now before us
as our sight and sound.
Gleaming remembrance
of yesterdays show
often will guide us
to where all we go.
Now todays shadows
might surely be seen
as tomorrows yesterdays
thoughts in a dream.
Yesterdays shadows
might then become
what we perceived as
thens shining sun.

When Now is Done

When time has passed
with done and said
the time will come
that’s there ahead.
When now is done
and then is gone
time will show
another dawn.
With every choice
we make each day
the now that’s done
then makes display.
Certain stages
of our lives
turn into
a great surprise.
When now is done
with pages turned
now becomes
some bridges burned.
Choices voices
that we’ve sounded
might become
what’s not well rounded.
When now is done
make sure you’ve tried
the best you can
with God applied.

Simple Essence

Breezes blowing
now and then
often strengthen
as the wind.
Simple essence
is attire
with leaves blowing
with desire.
Minutes passing
show their hue
simple essence
through and through.
Each breeze blowing
changes stride
leaving pictures
days applied.
Simple essence
finds a way
to make changes
in the day.

Days So Silly

Silly things
that come and go
days so silly
surely show.
Things we’ve done
or maybe seen
might seem like
the weirdest dream.
Days so silly
surely find
things remembered
then in time.
So those silly
days you see
lock them in
your memory,
then when troubles
come your way
days so silly
can display.
Letting laughter
fill your mind
from a silly
point in time.

Haiku
for July 13, 2013

Without a dreamer
many hopes for tomorrow
cannot be better.

The sun of today
shines glimmers of yesterday
found in some shadows.

With todays choices
tomorrow will find a path
leading to answers.

Morning is often
the verdict of distortion
found through bad judgment.

A skunks bad aroma
leaves much to be desired
after it has sprayed.

Seasons of shadows
become as our memories
that follow each day.

Forgive and forget
is a lot harder to do
than to say the words.

Nighttime comes alive
with many different sounds
coming from the dark.

Searching for true love
leaves many standing alone
looking for perfect.

Nearby occasions
might become part of your life
if you get too close.

With every moment
there is a chance for changes,
some good and some bad.

Literal thinking
leaves no room for a dreamer
to look beyond sight.

Right now gives blessings
that you may or may not see,
so give praise to God.

Nobody’s someone
could become anybody found
that’s doing your job.

As minutes tick on
the hours soon gather speed
to end out the day.

Places we’ve been to
often become our haven
as troubles display.

Joining two as one
makes lives become as blessings
if they are true love.

Finding a feather
without a bird to pluck one
might need a pillow.

The hands of today
can chain together as one
and become stronger.

Thinking about time
can leave you empty handed
as today goes by.

Cherished memories
are the tools to bring us peace
when we cannot move.

When the day’s at end
it brings forth many blessings
that sleep magnifies.

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

It’s summertime up here in Maine, but not too bad temperature wise.
It’s 82 F degrees right now at about 5:00 PM. It’s looking like it will
rain. There’s rain in the forecast off and on throughout the week. I’m
not complaining LOL. Come on rain! It cools things down. Tomorrows
high is supposed to be 70 F degrees and in the mid 70’s for the rest of
the week. It might warm up by next weekend though. Our portable AC
is doing well. It ain’t perfect, but then perfection cost more than we can
afford LOL. The boys are almost due another haircut. I was hoping to
get them a pool yesterday, but when I got to WalMart they had sold
the last of the plastic kiddie pools and all they had left was those little
green turtle pools that are only an inch deep and cost $40.00. What
we wanted was a 6 foot Wide and 1 foot deep plastic pool. We went
on line and found one and ordered it. We should have it in a few days.
The boys seemed to enjoy swimming in their aunt Trudy’s swimming
pool the 4th of July 🙂 Judy and I enjoyed it as well. The pools not that
big. Only 4 foot deep and not sure how wide, but it made do for a fun
day in the sun. We stayed out a tad too long LOL. We’re sunburned.
Oh well, it might be our last time this year to be able to go over and
swim if the weather doesn’t straighten out LOL. Our neighbors bought
their kids a new little swimming pool and they got it aired up and all
yesterday. They have all been playing in it. Though right now it is
just sitting out there with still waters 🙂 I got a lot of great pictures of
us swimming at Trudy’s house. I’ll put a few of them in the stationery.
Right now the boys are busy trying to find a comfy place to lie down
that isn’t too warm. Most times they end up on the end of our bed
facing the air conditioner or in the floor lying face first in the fan 🙂
I doused them water in the shower yesterday and they loved that.
LOL I doused myself first which gave me the idea to do them hehe.
It only lasted for a brief, but it was worth it. So, hmmm what else
is happening here at the Pearce’s Place? Not much. Our 4th of
July was our venture to Trudy’s to go swimming. So nothing much
else happened there. The same as every year no fireworks. We
don’t enjoy shooting off fireworks, but if we could of seen some
from our house it would have been OK LOL. Yet, there were none
to be seen or heard or at least we didn’t get wind of them hehehehe.
I’m trying to finish this journal in time for Judy and I to watch the
American Ninja Warriors hehehe. Also at 10 is Ice Road Truckers.
We love our TV programs LOL. Deadliest Catch is our Tuesday
favorite hehehe. It’s weird that we love the same style programs.
God knew what He was doing when He put us together. God is
always in control whether we realize it or not. He allows lessons
to be learned and only does what He knows should be done. Not
what we think should be done. Yes, we all have free will and with
that many fall prey to the evils of life, but God always gives us
a chance to rectify that, but it is not a choice after we die. Don’t
let the evils of Satan to disrupt your daily life with his lies. Many
times Satan will display promises that are only guaranteed troubles
to darken your path. Our lives can be filled with joy if we will look
beyond the minutes that go wrong. I’m sure you have many times
that you can remember that bring you joy. Sometimes we just need
to slow down and enjoy a breath of air. I guess I’m not going to
make this a real wordy journal this week due to Milo barking for
treats LOL. Benny just sits behind Milo letting him do all of the
begging hehehe 🙂 Ain’t they sweet! I reckon I’m needing to be
taking my little venture back through all that I have written here
to see if I can find a good word or phrase that might work for the
title for today’s brand new poem. So it’s away I go that place
of my recollection that I always like to call RECOLLECT VILLE.
I think I found a good title, but I need to check first and see if I
haven’t already used it LOL. Nope ain’t used it YET, so here
goes with an attempt to put some words together in form of a
poem using it 🙂

Beyond The Minutes

While now might be found
with ventures of pain
there might be rainbows
after the rain.
Beyond the minutes
of here there about
now might conclude as
a much better route.
Leftover heartaches
found now today
can become peaceful
if you will pray.
Let not the sadness
of yesterdays drive
take hold of right now
living alive.
Beyond the minutes
of what all you see
there is a chance for
good history.
Journeys through timeframes
footsteps will go
give us the chances
surely to grow.

July 7, 2013

Well, there ya go! I hope you enjoyed my rambling and maybe even
the poem hehehe. The boys are sleeping in the floor right behind Judy
and I. It’s 80 F degrees right now at 6 PM so it’s cooling off a little at
a time. Tonight’s supposed to get down to 57 F degrees and tomorrow
it’s supposed to be a high of 70 F 🙂 So that will surely make the boys
feel better as well as Judy and I 😉 So I guess I need to wind this up
so I can get started making stationery, but not before I tell you what
I tell you every week and that is, I wrote some more poems and haiku.

Window of Time

As tomorrow flickers
in nows scenery
the window of time
lets be what will be.
The scenes that displayed
might just fade away
as a window of time
shows different that day.
Windows will open
and close thereunto
providing perception
that might be askew.
A window of time
into what you’ve found
might be a dream world
that’s not coming round.
The counting of minutes
can surely display
a window of time
that might fade away.

Summer Fun

Splashing in a pool
as sunshine beats down
makes great the moments
of each sight and sound.
That great summer fun
in the blue waters wet
gives me the greatest
I’ll never forget.
That summertime scene
with our family
sister and pooches
are greatest to be.
Our dogs made a splash
as second to none
while they joined in with
that great summer fun.
We stayed so long
that we surely each said
when it’s all over
we’re going to be red.
Yet with the sunburns
and all that surpassed
the great summer fun
most surely did last.
We splashed for hours
in the 4 foot deep pool
acting like children
just let out of school.

While Time Continues

Beyond what we’re thinking
our thoughts might connect
turning into pages
of a written affect.
While time continues
it creates its own style
often seen by many
in a different while.
Things that we’re seeing
so many might perceive
as just a moments time
meant to believe.
So many in a world
with different style views
can be found seeing
the same in the news.
Yet what they’re seeing
might not be the same,
for their perception
might not fully attain.
While time continues
and our lives move on
dusk is still dusk
and dawn is still dawn.

Within A Frown

Sometimes one smiling
might not be so true
for there within them
are moments so blue.
While they look happy
a frown might exist
while they are saddened
for friends that they miss.
Sometimes a curtain
is hung on their eyes
hiding their frowning
from all their goodbyes.
Within a frown there
is sometimes a scene
painted as pictures
found in their dream.
So maybe someone
that you see today
might show a smile
where frowns should display.
They might be trying
to turn upside down
that moment of feeling
that’s within a frown.

Nobody Cares

Looking so clear now
I see how now shares
patterns of lifestyles
that nobody cares.
So many people
just seeing their own
and not realizing
what others have known.
People can sometimes
so hatefully find
just but a lifestyle
of their peace of mind.
Not looking outwards
and seeing who’s hurting
while they are always
just daily deserting.
Don’t let your brothers
and sisters fall prey
to that nobody style
caring today.

Today’s Tomorrow

When now has passed
and left its view
time might show us
something new.
Today’s tomorrow
might not display
what we’re thinking
right now today.
With each second
time might find
today’s tomorrow
not to shine.
Often what’s right now
might not be found
as today’s tomorrow
comes around.
The choices we’re making
as minutes will pass
today’s tomorrow
then comes in contrast.
The things we thought
we had time to do
today’s tomorrow
might change every view.

Glimmers of Heartbeats

People with values
and not just of gain
can find the glimmers of
heartbeats attain.
Two found together
can become as one
glimmers of heartbeats
up under the sun.
True love that’s sought for
beyond what they view
can become heartbeats
of loving found true.
Not letting flesh to
be all you see
can then enlighten
your heartbeats degree.
Glimmers of heartbeats
can then be found
beating as true love
not just sight and sound.

Perfectly Not

Thinking your perfect
can surely explode
as imperfection
displays down to road.
If you are thinking
you’re perfect at all
get ready friend now
for you’re gonna fall.
Yes we are surely
real good to a point
at things that one day
might disappoint.
We’ve each got things that
we might just do better,
but as time moves on
there’s change in the weather.
So don’t think that you will
always be so hot,
for we are all human
and perfectly not.

June To July

God gives us blessings
as each day displays
even in the hottest
of summertime days.
June to July
the seasons awaken
as that of maybe
skin burning bacon.
Yet even with that
the days come alive
found as the blessings
June to July.
Each day that displays
is that of God sent
found as a threshold
with summers accent.
June to July
as August is gained
each day will display
with blessings attained.

Fervent Dreams

A hotel of dream world
can fill up your mind
as that of fervent
dreams time to time.
Scenes such as wanting’s
of every desire
those fervent dreams
can become a fire.
Let not your fervor
to become untrue,
for it might end up
with you black and blue.
Your choices daily
can surely become
better if you will
seek for God’s Son.
Then let your fervent
dreams of desire
only be glistened
with God as the fire.
You’ll then find truly
much better to be
found in your fervent
dreams of degree.

Haiku
for July 6, 2013

Today is a time
to do the best that we can,
for it soon is gone.

A portion of spring
lives on throughout summertime
as budding flowers.

Our daily lessons
come sometimes as our shadows
that seem to haunt us.

Many in a group
are not always agreeing,
but going along.

A change in wording
can make all the difference
in anger and smiles.

A journey forwards
might have a few steps backwards
to make you stronger.

While the sunshine shines
it makes many perspectives
with clouds drifting by.

Believing in now
can make reality seen
even if it’s not.

Life is a pathway
leading now from yesterday
onto tomorrow.

A dog’s love is true,
for it is not judgmental
as we are each day.

Truth in a moment
displays after time has passed
weeding out the lies.

The heat of summer
infiltrates every second,
but it’ll subside.

Now will soon pass by
leaving only memories
of all that was done.

Frequent desires
will often turn into flames
that aren’t meant to burn.

Beyond closed windows
are the things that we can see,
but yet cannot hear.

When a flower blooms
it shares its sweet aroma
along with its beauty.

Someone’s sunburned skin
displays their lack of desire
to not stay outside.

Looking for answers
could evolve into questions
about the answers.

While now is displayed
it might seem most important,
but just a façade.

Links to each other
might be in form of heartbeats
and not that of blood.

As a door is closed
God opens another one
to give us choices.

Within a witness
is a viewpoint of their own,
that might be clouded.
