Faster and Brighter

The days of the past
are behind me
I look forward to new
and brighter days
No longer enslaved to the sins of the past

On and on I go to faster and brighter days
never looking back
leaving the past behind

What once was
is forever gone
Good only for educating
for growth and wisdom

No point in wallowing

Over what I cannot control

On and on I go to faster and brighter days

never looking back
leaving the past behind


Version 2

Behind me now, muddy
And foggy the past.
Looking forward now
To crispy clear days
No longer lost
In the fog.

What once was
is forever gone
Good only for
educating
No point in wallowing
Over what I
no longer control


On and on I go
to faster and brighter days
never looking back

Josh Powell is In Hell

Anyone who knows me and/or follows my writing both and on my hubpage account , knows that I was reared in a very Christian home and am now, in my thirties struggling with many common and widely held beliefs that the modern Christian church teaches. The most alarming of these is the concept of hell . I question how a loving God, a Creator who refers to Himself as “Love” would create creatures that would end up in a placed of eternal anguish called “hell”. Thankfully, because of Josh Powell , I’m clinging to the idea of hell—and of heaven—and some sort of comfort. Josh Powell was a person of interest in his wife Susan's 2009 disappearance. She is most likely dead and he is almost positively the reason for it. Killing your wife is bad, killing your children is worse and incomprehensible even to me, a lifelong non-parent. Last week, Josh Powell lost custody of his two boys and ...

A rant, then a poem...

I'm very frustrated with hubpages at the moment. Not only does my hubber score keep dropping (and I have no idea how it's determined, but, I do know if I fall below 75, I get the dreaded "no-follow" attached to my profile. I recently published a piece called Loudbraries and it keeps getting denied publication as"substandard". The frustrating part is, I do not write substandard anything. moreover, they haven't shown me what specifically they take objection with, so, even though I've edited it, I keep resubmitting it and it keeps getting denied. I'm probably flirting with a ban, but that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. This has never happened and it's very frustrating for me. If this keeps up, i will simply publish the article here. But, enough of that. My poem I Spilled My Corn Flakes was published on the hub several months ago. I was never happy with the format over there, so, I've decided to republish it here in the ...

The Squirrel, Ever Vigilant, Always Working

View this on my hubpage if you'd like. I prefer the format here, but, feel free to check out both and decide for yourself :-) The Squirrel, Ever Vigilant, Always Working Up down across he runs Pauses peeks Ever vigilant of hawks Eagles owls Who desire his flesh Up down across he Scurries scrounges For nuts, fruits the grand prize: A discarded apple core A half-eaten sandwich he fills his cheeks And runs Up down across to his home In the tree tops Secure and panting Stowing For like the hawk Winter Is descending.
