Painful Garage Discoveries: Revolutionary ImproVerse Free Verse Lament
They fell out
of an old cardboard box,
in a pile, onto the floor.
It was like that scene
from Garfield’s Christmas.
I, too, found a stack
of old love letters,
written from she who now,
as I move her out of her life,
must be obeyed;
she who I betrayed.
I’d forgotten,
(or maybe I never knew,)
how much she loved
me.
Her words tell me.
Surprise me.
Now,
nearly four decades later,
I can only stand
in the messed up
and cluttered garage
the cold, damp space
that still holds,
for a little while longer,
the life
which we shared.
There,
amid piles
of old,
handwritten papers,
scarcely daring to read
those words she wrote
decades ago,
I weep bitter tears of
sorrow,
guilt,
pain,
and deep remorse.
She’ll never know
how sorry I am.
How could she?
Until this moment,
I didn’t even know.

Why Say What You Are? Non-Boxing Advice: Revolutionary Blogging Prose
“I’m a single.”
Or
“I’m single.”
I hear it so often,
it makes me want to
cry.
Why say what you are?
Or what you think you are?
Unless you say
“I am a child of God.”
“I am a son of God.”
“I am a daughter of Heavenly Father.”
“I am a single”
is a statement
about your state of life.
It is
WHERE
you are,
not WHO
or WHAT
you are.
That statement
brings so many
other statements,
judgements,
traits,
emotions.
Most of them
are not WHO
or WHAT
I am.
Isn’t it more accurate
to state:
“I am IN
the single phase
of my life”?
That allows us
possibilities.
That lets us
NOT be put in a box.
There is nothing wrong
with being in
the single phase
of life.
But it may not be
where we are
permanently.
And it is not
who we are
completely.
Because we are
so much more
than single.
