Dumpster diving

Dumpster living

Dumpster striving

Dumpster giving

Dumpster follow

Dumpster thinking

Dumpster wallow

Dumpster stinking

Dumpster culture

Dumpster habits

Dumpster vulture

Dumpster rabbits

Dumpster eyes

Dumpster feet

Dumpster hands

Dumpster seat

Dumpster climb

Dumpster jump

Dumpster scurry

Dumpster trump

Dumpster go

Dumpster flee

Dumpster know

Dumpster free

Corpse

Filed under: Poetry, Religion and Spirituality — jgengler @ 5:30 pm

Whispered inclination

Vulnerable heart

Zombie mind

Phantom will

Trap is laid, snare is set

Unsuspecting feet

Hidden hands, lurking darkness

Brief, mercurial susurration

Silence

The deed is done

Lucid golden aspirations

Lilting silver snowflake dreams

Bloodstains of a slivered conscience

Lust and greed arrest heart screams

Steel trap snap

Asphyxiating soul

Clawing, clutching, clinging–

Closing…

Inner death, outer life

Resistance

Filed under: Poetry, Religion and Spirituality — jgengler @ 5:29 pm

Along for the ride

Jump on the bandwagon

Follow the crowd:

Easy

Drift with the undertow

Blow with the hurricane

Move with the earthquake:

Easy

Anchor in the storm

Salmon in the river

Body in the quicksand:

Hard

Road less traveled

Lure not taken

Following conscience:

Don’t turn your back

Don’t close your ears

Listen and learn

Alleviate your fears

Some have gone before

Been there, done that

Let them be your buffer

More than idle chat

Experience instructs

Wisdom charts a course

Follow their lead

Avoid the need for force

Submission leads to beauty

Despise leads to decay

Enslave yourself to wisdom

Free your heart to obey

~ Inspired by Proverbs 1:8-9
