Padded sell

padded cell
oops
padded cell
whats yours
your world
fill the void
more for less
padded walls
holding you
empty alone
lost
padded cell
sidewalks
walk away
buy and sell

Lorene Dekko Salsbery

I did not know Lorene well.
I learned about her
during a phone conversation
with her mother, a long time friend.
She told me Lorene supported
and encourage those about her
when showing their concern
as her condition progressed.
She made light of serious things
to ease their minds.
She ventured into all methods
that might finally cure
this relentless disease.
She comforted her sister Erika
as she encouraged her to
continue to fight
even though they knew
the end might be near.
She was compassionate
and understanding,
thoughts that will remain
with all those
who knew her

" He Loves You "

His name is Jesus Christ
He is what He says He is
You are what you are
you need Him
find Him
love Him
He loves you

" Peace '

peaceful hearts
where it starts
nourished in silence
found by searchers
devoid of earthly gain
willing to ask
willing to be
set free
savior son
greatest gift
peace

" Perfect 10 "

the ten commandments
words in stone
for all generations
for all religions
for everyone
for peace
on earth
everywhere
forever

Riding the Rays

we are like abandon buildings
with bars over the windows
and doors locked tightly
for no reason
where dark corners
and running rats
hide only what
the world no longer wants
empty of happiness
full of need
fortified against a world
so desolate and broken
only time prevails
losing its grip
on the lonely
we are empty
like the buildings
looking for shadows
in the webbed dirt
that don't exist
like us
shadows in the mist
disappearing once again
when the sun rises
riding the rays
