A New Prescription For Living
    ~ Dubiously Dos
 
I need a new pair of glasses.
The ones I have been wearing
have warped my perspective.
Everything I "know" is biased...
jaded...
torn and faded.

"I" needs to be sent on sabbatical...
Given an honorable discharge
and asked to step down...
Put in a crate and shipped to the
black hole...
Not at this Address - Return to Sender.

Recoiling at the sense of urgency
everything seems to have lately -
Examining pettiness of resentments
as they roll by in the desert of my
consciousness - I am ashamed and
confounded.

Salvation in stillness.
Questing for serenity and grace.
Sharing a taste of gratitude with a
dash of humility for good measure.
Be it ever so humble....
There's no place like home.
 
 


 
 

In His Hands
      ~~Dubiously Dos

It is a beautiful day.
Sitting in His palm,
I am serene and at peace
As I watch my world spin away.

It is a learning day.
Perching precariously on His fingertip,
As I practice loosening my grasp,
Testing trust and glimpsing faith.

It is a healing day.
Touching His hand,
I am new,
My spirit, mind and body strengthened.

It is a loving day.
Feeling the gentleness with which I am held,
He demonstrates His message
And urges me to service.

It is a peaceful day.
Surrounded by His hand
I am shielded from tribulation -
Discontentments are soothed.

It is a joyous day.
Warmed by His warmth I am grateful.
I can appreciate the beauty
Of life's broader strokes
Rather than crease my brow
And puzzle the intricacies of my path.
 
 


 

Fellowship
     ~Dubiously Dos

Send me sunshine
wrapped in friendship.
A smile makes a pretty bow.
Your warm greeting -
the accompanying card.
Let's laugh together
as we share the secret...
wink and compare Mona Lisa smiles
as we give it to a stranger.
