Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears
Love can be tough and won’t dry your tears
If you see rain look forward to sun
Despite the pain look forward to fun
Know time is ticking like a clock
There’s no notice when it will stop
Be a good steward to others and self
Living in the moment as a great help
Find your niche and thrive in it
Embrace life live it as you see fit
Listen to the divine voice that guides
Being kind is a choice that is wise
When you look at another face
See it with kindness and in grace
Know we all have faults we are not perfect
Even if lost we can be found and we’re worth it
HOT WAX ABSTRACT
encaustic-
ironing trick
Three bros., Wideye, Snaggletooth, and Zonkers
When in town went a little bit bonkers
With the girls that walked by
What was level with their eye
Was ogled, whistled at, or they'd honk-hers!
The alpha canine stood under the tree
Such doggy wisdom does not come for free
“If you bury your bone
please remember the zone
Now form an orderly queue while I pee”
Next to a tree where four lines could be
Canines haven’t even thought of three
You think they'll form two
That they'd never do
‘One and dumb’ ~ the only line we'll see

Come on guys I really need to go.
My inside are about to blow,
This line is way too long,
No time to sing a song.
I am filled with messy cargo.
Posh giraffes like to take a lengthy sip
Outstanding manners we will not let slip
We like afternoon tea
From a cup - hear our plea
Give us a trough if you want a good tip
They booked the restaurant two for tea.
The giraffes turned up promptly at three.
They were way too tall you know.
The roof was too low and so,
They used the window to gain entry.
The life of a magicians cat is dread
Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary
I ended up in the darn cage instead
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I thought I saw a puddy tat
How did I ever imagine that?
Just look at our faces.
It seems we swapped places.
He is where he belongs that bad cat.
Through writing prompts I quietly scroll,
five with the same topic takes a toll;
How many ways can you say
the same thought in a new way?
I suppose I will just sit and troll.
The flutter of an eyelid
The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-
Knowing words of wisdom
Discerned by prompts within.
Moon,
Full moon,
Full moon, monthly.
Moon, woman,
Full moon, woman,
Full moon, woman, monthly.
Moon,
woman,
Full moon, full woman.
Round moon,
Round woman.
moon in woman,
woman in bed.
Eyeless moon laying in bed,
bright,
so bright,
unmoving,
as her fingers say goodbye.

Holding the world in my hands
Upon
My passion bed
I dream
To sleep
Until i lust
Then and only then
Let me show you the world
Through my eye's
Let there be light
Let me right the world's wrongs
Let all who dwell upon her belong
If only for the longest day
It takes a hand to wrap around
