A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace. And makes the whole world we live in a better and happier place. by Jean Kyler McManus

The shorn moon trembling indistinct on her path, Frail as a scar upon the pale blue sky, Draws towards the downward slope: some sorrow hath Worn her down to the quick, so she faintly fares Along her foot-searched way without knowing why She creeps persistent down the sky’s long stairs. Some day they see, though […]

One Sister have I in our house, And one, a hedge away. There’s only one recorded, But both belong to me. One came the road that I came — And wore my last year’s gown — The other, as a bird her nest, Builded our hearts among. She did not sing as we did — […]

Lining the forest unevenly, forget-me-nots grow. Blue petals finger-paint hidden, overgrown paths. Shy faces smile at the end of straggly, green stems, Capturing the sorrow of the broken-hearted ones… His favourite flower instills disquieting memories.

Sisters – Heaviness and Tenderness- you look the same. Wasps and bees both suck the heavy rose. Man dies, and the hot sand cools again. Carried off on a black stretcher, yesterday’s sun goes. Oh, honeycombs’ heaviness, nets’ tenderness, it’s easier to lift a stone than to say your name! I have one purpose left, […]

As I listen to that guitar scream Sounds ring out my destiny A stronger power grabs ahold of me Shocks me with a volt of electricity My intestance explodes onto the floor Red blood begins to shadow my mind Extacy brings out a whore Her shattered innocence has made her blind Dont cry little sister […]

It’s the little things in life I pay most attention to Sometimes the smallest insult Can hurt the most A little white lie Can ruin everything It’s the little things in life I cherish most One flower stands out In a garden of hundreds Two kids pointing at the night sky Not sure what they’re […]

In a peaceful forest lies A young girl with bright blue eyes Her hair shine’s gold like the sun Like a rainbow whose colors align as one As the morning sun rises one more Casting sunlight across the forest floor Whenever the morning sun rises The pretty young girl smiles at the surprises A new-born […]

Admit the dense trees Aside the clear water Above the damp earth Aside the flying birds I wish I could fly away from this rush and hush of city life into the lap of nature Along the seashores Among the swimming fishes Aboard the eternly heavens I wish I could vanish away into the depths […]
