Nothing Remains

Released my soul, I set it free, but it keeps coming back to me
I told it lies, called it names, but says it loves me all the same
So now I can’t feel a thing, but also no joy does anything bring
Emptied of all the bitter pain, but then nothing does remain©

Light Breaks In

Light breaks in as the day starts anew
I feel the warmth on me from you
The storm has passed and all is clean
No more darkness, all can be seen

Water glistens from the tall oak tree
High up above a bird soars free
Nature fought and the storm is done
Tattered and worn, yet we won

Lightning struck and thunder roared
Hale came down and rain poured
Still, around me I feel safe and sound
Feet firmly planted on the ground

Light breaks in as the day starts anew
I feel the warmth on me from you
You’re my strength, shining as the sun
Tattered and worn, yet we won©

All That Remains

Had disappeared, you broke me free
Told me that I don’t have to be
The person others believe that I am
Don’t need to give one damn

Tow the line, be a ghost of myself
Put all my desires on a shelf
Dot all your “i’s” and cross every “t”
This is what they want of me

Don’t know how to live, but cannot die
Although I do not know why
Until one day you whispered in my ear
Reminded me, you’re still here

Escaped the chains that held me down
Almost too late, I nearly drown
Then you reached through, took me in
One more day they don’t win!

Thank you, hope, my dearest of friend
You remain true to the very end©

Zapped Of My Zip

No pep in my step and no zip-a-dee in my doo-dah…I hate Mondays! ~Mac

 

Coffee Creed

Coffee promises a jolt of caffeine which is seen

Because I can more easily move and grove
Sweet magic in a cup when I need woken up

And my happy place giving me a happy face

Strung Together

Tangled up in you
Woven into the very fabric of my soul
You hold my heart
One pull on the thread and I’ll unravel
Intertwined lives
Forever we will be two parts of a whole
Delicately stiched
Our names embroidered in the heavens
Patterns of love 
~by Mac

“Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn.
Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or
get tangled. But when they’re kept and
cared for, they can bridge any distance”

The Morning Buzz

“Your prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “give/given/giving.” Begin your post with one of those words. Bonus points if you end your post with one as well.”

Given that it is Saturday I thought perhaps I would join in on the #SoCS. Today is to be a busy one. There is neighborhood yard sale just down the street from us. We’ve plans to go, but woke up to find that it is only 35F outside! Brrr! It is suppose to warm up to a cool 64F today, with lots of sun. But, I am hesitant to venture out just yet on this cold morning. Good thing I have my coffee!

Hubby and I also have plans to go on our weekly date to the movies. It is something that we mutually enjoy and have a nice theatre in the area that does $5 tickets! Perhaps lunch or a bucket of popcorn will be had as well.

Then, I will finish the day preparing for a two day trip. Tomorrow my best friend and I will be off to Charleston, SC for some girl’s time. I have never been there and being it is her number one favorite city, she is very excited about giving me a tour. I’ll be bringing along my camera, of course, and hope to have some photos to share with y’all. 

Happy Saturday to everyone, and be sure to give me a shout out and let me know what you’re up to this weekend!
