I COULDN’T POST

Published December 7, 2020 by Nan Mykel

Too much unknown stuff in the gizzards here. I couldn’t post on the Gutenberg. It wanted to charge either me or the reader. Growing pains, I guess. Er…Although they wouldn’t let me post, they let me tell you I couldn’t post… First I warranted an orange bar, next they wanted money for me to post a good reply. (katiemiafrederick).

MAY BE MY REBLOG…

With age comes a love of family history.

Someone will remember us, won’t they?

Ancestor worship wasn’t such a bad idea.

They were here a moment ago, then left.

Where are they hiding? Here, then gone.

A game of hide and seek forever.

They’s so careful to say “bury her remains.”

They’re really saying “bury her,” aren’t they?

They say seeing is believing, but not death.

Living in the Twilight Zone

Today’s word is Fear.

Fear the surge continues

Fear the sea will surrender

Fear the plastics will proliferate

Fear the fire and the droughts

Fear the virus and bacteria

Fear the ignorance of the masses

Fear the power of the status quo

Tomorrow’s word is Hope.

Hope the nets will loosen their grip on the drowning 

Hope the glaciers will recover their water

Hope the women claim the high ground

Hope the politicians hear the prayers

Hope the evicted find refuge

Hope the jobless find activity

Hope the hungry find sustenance

Hope the cold find warmth

Hope the lost find home

Hope the deaf find melody

Hope the bereaved find understanding

Hope the injured find justice

Hope the murdered find paradise

Next week’s word is Unknown.

All bets are off. Suspense rules.

Stay tuned as the situation develops

Voices of demons

Published December 1, 2020 by Nan Mykel

I can hear demonic whispers at that back of my mind,

Echoes of what they say is hard to define,

I hear them hiss, spit and swear and their bones grind,

These vouces are primordial, ancient and for a darker time,

They seek to influence, they seek to control

They seek to posses my very soul,

But I know what is right and wrong

And I have the inner strength,

To suppress them no matter the lengths,

That I have to go to, to stay in the light

To keep the love in my heart and keeps the demons at bay,

I prefer to feel the love than to just feel hate,

I shout at these demonic voices to keep the fuck away.

Family

Friends

Curiosity

Creativity

Sleep

The ability to faint when pain gets too great

The lessened fear of death with age

Prolonged infancy developing into love

The “religious” or “spiritual” gene serving to draw people together beyond family lines*

Mathematics, which leads us to believe that this is a rational world

The aesthetic experience and beauty

The cherishing of nostalgic memories

Reports of a sense of peace associated with near death or dying experiences

The survival instinct which permits life on the planet to evolve

Consciousness so that we can reflexively experience

Language

Music

Pets

Word Press

Chocolate

Humor– the saving grace

*Altho aspects of this is also a problem
