In a magical land far far away, fairy tales make the headlines on a daily basis. Seldom sad endings, mostly happily ever after. Everyone was special if they believed. I wanted to be famous; I wanted them to sing songs and tell tales about me long after my death. But most importantly, I wanted to fall in love.I started my day just like any other day. I read the paper as I had my breakfast. Today's headlines: RAPUNZEL DYES...

The letter finally came.I opened the envelope, unfolding the creases of the thick parchment paper.I scanned with bated breath.‘2020 Sapien Collective…..Congratulations, Clarion Greene….’Seventy-two brilliant minds from around the world brought together on an eight-year collaboration to project where human evolution was headed within the next millennia.The trajectory of our species would be mapped out with calculated preci...

Often times, the thought of inexistence crosses my mind. It’s excruciating, the things I have to go through—indeed life was the bitch that has to be dealt. There were even those mournful nights when I wished upon that dead star—shining brightly in the blanket of darkness, that I was void of any emotions. That I was as hard as a hard as a rock; colder than the north pole. Nevertheless, reality has its ways of slapping that...

There are two kinds of evil men,There are two kinds of men,There are the evil men who think they are doing good,And there are the evil men who know they are doing evil.I am Cain who killed Abel.

Faith Believe Love and Hope Faith To have faith in someone is to know without question To listen to your heart when you head says you shouldn't. Faith is the one thing you believe in when nothing else makes sense. And you realize without it nothing mattered at all. Believe Add believe and you are stronger than faith by itself To see a child's belief in Santa is a wonderful example Why do we stop when we grow up? Can we no...

When I am in isolationDeep in the woods,I am not alone.I think of the cavesAnd canyons and riversThat Elijah sat in,Just him and God,Talking back and forth.What kind of friendship did they formIn those desolate hoursThat made God sweep himOff the face of the EarthIn a chariot of wind and fire.

The caterpillar,Who spends half of its lifeBound to the ground,Or clinging to a leaf,Spins a cocoon and falls asleep,But who, can you tell me,When it emerges with its beautiful wings,Teaches it to fly?

I recently saw one of my students and could not believe my eyes. Was this the same little girl I had in my classroom for four years? The one with the hair pulled down around her face and no smile? Yes, except this girl was not hiding. She was smiling and had her hair pulled back. She was beautiful. She came over, smiling, and as I was bending down to hug her she laughed and said she wanted me to meet someone. Just as I lo...

She hides herself away scared hoping wanting someone, anyone to care enough to come and look for her and offer her a hand. She waits minutes turn to hours which turn to months and years. She sees life passing her by and she feels sad and even more alone. Then one day a stranger appears someone who looks familiar but not some how Without saying anything, they sit and wait. Finally after about 15 minutes the stranger asks,...

Praying HandsI had a dream with my lord CHRIST He touched my head, not once but twice. I felt my body jump up in bed I saw the nail holes in his hands that bled. I felt the power of his healing hands He showed it to me so I could understand. With faith in our hearts he will heal And his hands you will feel. I awoke that morning with the spirit inside Those praying hands I had to find. I found a figurine of his hands And p...

The reflection in the mirror is that of a broken women with a tear stained face. Messy hair and dark rings around her tired eyes. Someone in her mind No one would miss. In her mind she feels its time feeling like although she tried and tried she has never achieved any of her personal goals. The obstacles in her life she feels are just too great, So has never know the feeling of success. Today she lays down for the final t...

Running through the woods trying to get away but never seem able too. I'm searching looking for something some kind of answers. But the further I go the more lost I feel. Following this path then that but none feels quite right. It getting darker but I know it's still early. What should I do? I stop in my tracks and close my eyes as I stand really still. I start looking within myself Hearing a calm voice say"The answers w...

With seven days to go To an event that may change my life forever. My mood is getting steadily worse.  So much darker and hopeless, Feeling so scared and alone not sure of what I might do. I need too STOP! Take some deep breaths, Wipe away the tears think about the present only deal with the here and now Not the could or might be’s And have a little faith.

You take my hand and lead me gently I follow along quite contently Taking me firmly by the hand You lead me to a brand new land You take me to places unexplored I follow you of my own accord Down life’s path, forward moving Your faith in me doubt removing To a place where I have never been Inside myself beyond my ken You lift me up to take my place To dance in the light of your merciful grace Believing in me without a dou...
