Calling of Home
Focusing on my self; no other filtered out all negative feelings cut ties with deceptive dealings home is calling so don't bother Feeling things that make no sense a little of revenge, guilt, anger, fuss a lot of love, faith, truth, and trust Thinking of things conjuring defense Eliminate thoughts of all others took for granted with misjudgment challenging my truth with argument now stuck in...

I have my shelter from the elements my haven away from world madness my well of peace and harmony where it’s safe and i feel free within its confines but really … is it more of a hideout where I ignore the call within to insurrection to rise against injustice or at least to come to the aid of its victims instead...

Premium Member Where Is Home?
Our hearts romanticize the vagabond. To walk away from all that brings you down. It’s true we’re free to get up and be gone. In search of new horizons to be found. Always snipping at the ties that bind us And doing all you would just as you may. Worries can all just be left behind us. ‘Cause in the morn we...

Bring Him Home
The silence stretches, a taut wire across borders, across oceans of unspoken dread. A name whispered in the dry heat, a face etched on worn photographs, a promise hanging heavy in the air. They speak of strategy, of interests, of the intricate dance of power, but I see only an empty chair. The news flickers, a kaleidoscope of...

Premium Member Nursing Home Day Room Stories
Lillian’s Echo Lillian sat in the dayroom’s dim embrace—a survivor etched in time. The air clung to stories, whispered secrets, and the lingering scent of suffering. She, the one-character legend, spun her tales—prose blabber, raw and unfiltered. Born into the system’s cold arms, Lillian emerged onto Brooklyn’s unforgiving streets as an adult. There, she tasted the bitter...

Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea
“Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea” I walked again where I began, past fences worn, where gum trees ran— but now the tide had kissed the land, and waves rolled in like time unplanned. The house was there, but changed in tone, a quiet shell, yet not alone. The breeze...

The way home2025-04-21 Good afternoon I'm back to where my fortune began the fortune I betrayed by moving away not for any reason that I momentarily thought I could find an easier life a place of clean underwear and breakfast A place where I could sleep to nine that had a café on the first floor and peopled by sure people,...

Home to Roost
I wrote about my timer, Which is permanently stuck And, after many years, at last Emitted its last cluck. That was two days ago; today A package came for me. I hadn’t ordered anything And thought, “What could it be?” A brand-new chicken timer With a message from my son: “I hope this works – it looks just like Your now non-ticking one.” I laughed out loud...
