Lazy Saturday
Hanging out with fam-ends. Basketball on the t.v. Lazy Saturday. Pop in my glass. Snacks on the bar. Lazy Saturday. Cold outside. Ham’s baked. Lazy Saturday. Dogs asleep in their beds. Tie game. Lazy Saturday. Scalloped potatoes in the oven. Wait! We’re ahead. Lazy Saturday. Need more days like this. Relaxing. Lazy Saturday. Let’s celebrate.Continue reading “Lazy Saturday”

Chapter 8 As Kol came to, the world around him was different shades of green. Why was he cold? Why was he wet? Standing took great effort.

Chapter 5 Rajaf was sitting at his table working when there came a knock at the door. With his back bent, he shuffled to the door to answer it. Shocked rippled through his body when he did, for there stood Kol. “My king, come in.” The old man smiled allowing his king in. Kol wasContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Move Me
Can you do it? Can you move me? What’s the point? I bet you can’t. Move me! Are these tears of joy or tears of defeat? Move me. Tomorrow never comes. Yesterday will never come again. Move me. My body is tired. My mind is cloudy. Move me. I see others movements. Good for them.Continue reading “Move Me”

Chapter 4 Part 2 He looked confused, “you say I have?” “Perhaps God needed you to be ready?” There was a knock at the door; a lady entered carrying a tray overflowing with bread, cheese and wine.
