Two girls

In tune

With sisterhood

Our hearts

Beat in link

With laughter.

And tears.

Sharing fears

At night

Knees scraping along the carpet

Nita Webb Death

I watch my childhood vanish in to the distance.

A lost plan. An image. A shadow.

Pa-Pa.

You were so big.

You filled my rooms.

You laughed out loud.

Zebbra Good Morning

I'm alive! Oh so alive!

I'm in a world where people walk in a trance

A state of unawareness, fragile consciousness

You only get one shot, you only get one chance.

I shall advance in this worldly dance

Don't have time to fear anything

for what ever this world brings

In your blackness is a world of images

Zebbra In the Middle of You

In your center, in your central space

I find myself being drawn to you.

Looking at the years and feeling so siren

Zebbra Be Eagel Minded

Deuteronomy 32:11
As a eagle stirreth up her nest, flutterith over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, take them, bear them on her wings.


The Flutter of Wings.
Could it be God asks us to wait and allows us to experience trials
because He is trying to teach us to fly: As eagle saints, the flutter
of God's wings makes us think sometimes that He is going to beat us to
death. But the Bibles says: Hebrews 12:6-8
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,… Continue

Zebbra Make Wise Decisions and Plan

Wishes do not come true. You must plan, prepare, act the rely on God to do the rest. Nothing comes free you must apply yourself for your wishes and dreams to come true. A goal with out a plan is a wish. Vision without action is dead. You must have a purpose in all that you do so God can bring you a harvest. Time waits for no one. Everything begins in seed form and then grows into an experience.

wcole A New World View © 2010

Deja vue
running into you
stirred up memories of a prevalent time
when innocence saturated a child like mind

once blind to a world with invisible rules
of social classes and pigmented hues
dictating whom one should or shouldn't date
infinite love overshadowed by clouds of hate

a history that was, is...has the stigma passed
Today I see reflections of me in a mirrored glass

It's a different day, a different time
consciousness… Continue

Zebbra Mr. Coffee

Coffee, dark or light with cream

Coffee flavors that are in between

Awakes me with his strong scent

Capturing my body and awakes me from my tent

My coffee is warm and hot

A sensual crave

I love how it makes me feel

After my morning bath

I take one sip, two or three
