God's Parking Lot

Postby pandora » Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:09 am

the old black garbage bag
moved speedily through the parking lot
seems to take on a life of it's own

rolling on the wind
it's path unknown except for the one watching

projecting the movement
anticipating it's end
not random at all and never against the wind

"Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if its yours or mine."

parking lot pigeons

walk like a chicken...

bobbing heads!

fly together
park it in a space all their own

bobbing heads!

walk like a chicken ...

iridescent necks shimmer
blues purples reds
shiny in the noonday sun

bobbing heads!

walk like a chicken ...

fly and flock together
follow the leader friend or foe

heads a bobbin!

walk like a chicken ...

ever wonder why?
I did...

just to see around
trust to be around

Little oak tree standing tall, asphalt all around.
Hold tight to last season's leaves, crinkled dried and brown.

Providing some shade in our winters dead,
soon will come spring, then they will shed.

For now they rustle, make shadows dance
and I can see your nest with a little chance ...

the breeze keeps tune, add a daytime moon.

Now sing my Robin, sing beneath ...
while I enjoy this from my ringside seat.

Eddie's voice filled the car, then floated out the window...
up up up
I leaned back to gaze out the sunroof into the very blue cloudless sky
cloudless

very blue sky, blue like the ocean, both reflecting each other
not an island in the ocean, not a cloud in the sky

Eddie's voice filled the car, reflecting God...
reflecting God.

The car pulls in fast ... anger in the turn
his turn
always so angry.

Lady leaves the car first, arms folded
lovely, young, sad, betrayed.
Arms folded to hold in the tears
build a wall, a strong wall ...
betrayal.

Young man leaves the car,
head down, shuffles slowly
building the gap, growing the gap
fooling himself ...
letting her go...
betrayal.

God can you show him the way

young man hurries his pace
now running
makes it to the door first, opens it for his lady
his lady
open the door of love
shut the door on betrayal...
never to open again.

Mates for Life ... our winged friends,
a lesson we can take.
So sad to see only one
but
Sing for love
Sing through loss
Rejoice in God's Plan of Life

The very elderly man jogged a circle around my car
small steps of determination

As he came past our eyes would meet
each time with his wink

I smiled
He smiled

He wore a blue fisherman's hat
covered in buttons
His life on his hat
tall stories big catches
and those that got away

I imagined his life of small determined steps
and how now with each pass I was apart of it
The very elderly man jogged around my thoughts
for the day and still

Determined we are ...

God's Plan

The small child grabs the hand of Mommy
hand in hand
they scurry together against the powerful wind

Little hand buried warmly within stronger wiser hand...
trusting.

Mommy...
protector, nurturer, confidant, role model, teacher,
comforter,

Love.

Creator ...

yes they are ... glad you like them DinghyDog

I have been in reflection lately, observing and connecting the dots

Oh my oh no!

God wants us to love each other unconditionally

Sitting close in the car
old tunes change the day
take me back
making his tears all the more mine

Struggling to stay the adult
have an answer
the song continues and my heart breaks
just like when I was young
just like he's young

It matters not the words
I know they can't fix
I remember they don't fix
Matters not the love
I know it's not felt
I remember it can't be felt

I hold his sobs in my arms
'everything will be ok'
weak words
I remember
everything will not be ok

He walks away
his once strong frame so thin
his step once light
drags on
Oh I remember
when each move was an effort

Alone now sitting in the car
blackness all around
quiet

please help
I can be the miracle
take me


Next song up ...
