SICK WITH THE FLU OR JUST SICK

I look out my window facing southeast and

see my moonscape.  It is one-thirty P.M.

and I just got up.  My body aches,

my headaches, and my heartaches. 

Ice and snow cover a huge portion

of the inland sea.  There is open water

beginning to freeze.  There is a sand bar

that looks like a Russian Battle Ship

being pushed by Eastern European soldiers

who have been instructed to move it

so it does not get frozen in place. 

The Climate Fanatics do not want any more ice, 

In spite of their new religion and its beliefs,

there is more ice now than ever before

documented.  But this is the moon.

Private jets do not fly here at will.

The temperature is 9 degrees F. 

The men are barely moving and the ship is still,

with small waves hitting it and adding more ice. 

The moon is a lovely place.  Its craters are awesome. 

An eagle just flew by.  I may be dreaming.

Ill people do dream.  Healthy people dream of

making millions of dollars on their theories of climate. 

How many ice ages do we know of.  Another bird,

this time small like a sparrow, flies by. 

I get up and check my temperature.  It is 97.5 F.

I wonder about the souls of men who lead movements

that control the actions of others,

making their lives miserable, while the controllers live in luxury. 

They know people are suffering because of them and do not care. 

There will be answers.  I am not a judge. 

It is beginning to get dark and I imagine these dictators

will end up in a dark place.  Did Jesus die for sins of cruelty? 

He may have.  We will know soon enough. 

In the meantime a sip of Port Wine and off to bed for me,

where I will pray for help to soothe my aching heart.

MY MEDITATION TODAY JANUARY 20

No one is perfect.

Today I hear the story

Of one who in his own mind

Was hustled by an auto repair man

That I have to work on my car.

I may have been hustled, too,

I think as I drive my car away,

But my vehicle runs and

That is what got me

To church today.

I pray for the hustler,

The victim and myself

I pray for respect, honor

And discipline for all

In every situation

I pray for understanding

And forgiveness.  We are

All sinners and no one

Is above the other.  Amen.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

Loss or gain

Tides high or low

Life proceeds and

Clouds or moon glow

Will not cause stop

Enemies or friends

Remembered or naught

Broken or on the mend

Heal and continue

To the very end

The great equalizer

No rules to bend

Dust will be dust

Color does not matter

Nor titles or surnames

That once would flatter

No take backs or healing

All chances are over

Like a racehorse broken

In a field green with clover

No more glory

There is no fame

Forgotten by the masses

Like last year’s big game

While we are moving

Is the time for action

Life’s gift is whole

Treat not like a fraction

Work needs to continue

On a full-time basis

Excuses don’t count

Results make your cases

Pride is personal

Humility has its place

When you give your all

There is no disgrace
