There are people after Jesus.
They have seen the signs.
Quick, let’s hide Him.
Let’s think; carpenter,
fishermen’s friend,
disturber of religious comfort.
Let’s award Him a degree in theology,
a purple cassock
and a position of respect.
They’ll never think of looking here.
Let’s think;

Amongst the ruins
of the day,
The tiring of the sun
Leaves a
worn
out
soul.
Lost in time
and reality,
Overarched by his

rehearsing days gone by.
Giving peace
as dark enters
the eyes,
Granting strength
For the gap
between
then and now.

I do believe in fairies. I do. I do. - Peter Pan

Thanks to my most beautiful, creative, and fun girlfriend, I now have two turtles as pets. But I don’t think they are so much pets as they are friends. Rice Number Two (the original Rice died a slow and tragic death) and Rooster are the coolest turtles this world has ever or will ever see.
