Connie's Cache (all are welcome to share)

Just one more port of call for pirates who board the WSSCC. I make no promises, but you might find some treasure here!

Looking forward to the treasure hunt, Connie :)

As we were riding in the car on a long trip the first verse just popped in my head. I finished it when we got home.

Judgement Overturned

My mind is a playground
I’ve sorely abused,
haunting it with ghosts
and boogey men
and standing accused
by a self-created jury
of unforgiving peers
and sentenced to prison
with imaginary fears.

I am the jailer
and I hold the key
and using my mind
I can set myself free;
un-sheet those ghosts
and put them to bed,
make those men “boogey”
to music instead,
take charge the jury
inside of my mind
and return a verdict
with words that are kind.

Rainy days always get me down. Today I find myself thinking that the reason Hitler was able to raise an army is because he knew that dead men won't fight. I'll just post this, then try to find something to change my mood.

Deadly Weapons

Knives made of anger
stab and blind; those of despair
are the lethal kind.

Sometimes we are blind to how our actions hurt others. A recent choice made by others seems wrong to me. But.....

Right and Wrong

If we could let go
of rhetoric
past hurts
present hardships
religious ideals
and the desires of our hearts;
we could see clearly
what needs to be done
in the present moment.
