Premium Member Would Jesus have Shunned Anyone
Jesus was a sterling human being, also the son of God. Would he have shunned anyone? I doubt it said McTodd. Would he have said “I will save you, but not he, she or they?” Not in the least, my friend said, “pronouns would not get in the way”. Jesus was inclusive; he forgave everyone and invited us all...

Shunned
I shall not lend an eye In your direction Knowing that power Is what you seek I shall not speak a word On former connection Knowing that relevance Is your pay I shall not make a move Toward reconciliation Knowing that condescension Is your game I shall not offer up a prayer Toward LOVE Knowing that treason Is your heart's intent ...hell bent...on my destruction Written by Trudy Schrader on 09-17-2023...

Premium Member Shunned Search
Spoon-fed by Manifestations of Truth-like truths Partial particles We have stopped The pursuit of search Sense of Subtle satisfaction Has put a lid Onto the otherwise open pitchers of Our minds We follow now The mere rhythm Of the half-filled Half-empty pitcher… === Thoughts – Picked like fallen plums Have filled our heads Thinking And the process of Logical reasoning Has gone out of sight… === We utilize What someone else Has discovered Discovery and Inventions...

Premium Member Shunned After Serving - a Veteran's Story
I did my time I paid my dues To come "home" To be with you ... I opened my heart I was vulnerable to belong I thought we were friends But it didn't take long... For you to step on my spirit Painting pictures of lies But you told me to go Now I'm mad, I won't cry. You shunned me away I asked for forgiveness And I'm saddened...

Affairs Don'T Last When Commitment Is Shunned
Does an eager hand feel a throbbing heartbeat truly divine making a lover's promise under a swaying, balmy pine? Why look at blinking stars that aren't amazingly crystalline? Isn't your wish another dream sparkling with starshine? Cross those hands and embody the fidelity of a Caroline, mix reality with dreams and all failures to divide dwine; think how sweet was...

Premium Member Footfalls of Fate Sidestepped Shunned
Heard enough to know where this can lead. Footfalls poised to step in footprints etched by fate, are caught in flight, nudged to sidestep shunned. A foot-plant re-direction on a clean slate. Making fresh footprints, striven silently in the sand....

Shunned
On the outskirts looking in So much emptiness I've seen Cast aside and left behind I have nothing left to hide Looking for a special niche Acceptance being my only wish Being shunned stabs me from within Isolation is my only friend Always thrown towards the curb Feel despondent and perturbed I have never felt included My desires are deluded On the outside looking in Have to find...

Shunned
The sound of silence is a lack of ping, no text message, nor cell phone ring; a quiet shock like some blowing snow, that chilling slap with hurricane blow. What suddenly brought this dark state, stopped all communications of late? I don’t know, but should I really care, though initially there was real despair; no, it’s better without that call, it’s much easier with...

Heaven Shunned
Slender beams of accusation enter this darkened church as I kneel, Always sorrowful, Always a slave, Frozen here, waiting. Angelic forms wrought in panes of glass loom, As dust dances in the air, Forming an image in my mind, Searing my naked soul. Realization dawning on an angels face. I raise my head, Now kneeling before this uncaring fate....

Shunned
Breaking down in the heart and mind. With all regrets that are truly not kind. Shocked at people are, so painful to see. Abused with hated and ecstasy. Violated and directed with torments Lost of words or comments. Hatred gushing out of life long experience. Reminding yourself to become absence. Coward and scared to even breathe. Like the feeling of knives unsheathe. Sharp but not...

Heaven Shunned
Slender beams of accusation enter this darkened place as I kneel, always lost, always forlorn, frozen here, waiting. Angelic forms wrought in panes of glass loom as dust dances in the air, forming an image in my mind, sparing not my naked outstretched arms. Realization dawning on my face. I raise my head, now kneeling before this airy salvation....
