confucius say

I gave my German Schnauzer,

"Lo-Jack", a "Chinese Fortune Cookie"

 but I forgot to take the "fortune" out.

Now whenever I give him

the command "speak.

He tells me a "Confucius" proverb

in German

I do not understand German

Old Grizz is hibernating in his writers cave attempting to be a serious writer.  I will devote what ever time I have to "Burned Toast and Coffee".  Drop in from time to time and say hello.  I will hello you back.

Courage

I wrote

and I felt

I felt courage

courage

has always been there

courage

is always there.

why didn’t I feel courage before?

why couldn’t I feel courage before?

courage has nudged me for decades

I was afraid to nudge courage back

courage would not go away

courage haunted me

I knew not what courage was

courage was in a place I cared not look

courage was in a place I dared not look

I never thought to look for courage

through my pen

through my grit

through my gut

I never dared to look for courage

through my pen,

through my grit

through my gut

Not until

I wrote and I wrote and I wrote

about

the things that are

the things that aren’t

about

the things that may

the things that might

that

courage was felt

courage spoke to me

with

words from a raining cloud.

courage spoke to me

with

words from sizzling lightning

burning across the sky

blazing a path

that I was afraid to walk.

my written words

dripping blood and ink

awakened

my mind,

my eyes,

my heart

my soul.

courage spoke to me

and now

I have

the strength

to walk the path

of sizzling lightning.

I am

not afraid

of falling any more.

only the young

Only the young have such moments

moments of discovery

the touch of her skin

the beat of her heart

the breath of her life

the joy of first love

once the moments have passed

the wonder can only live

in your mind

when you are young

enjoy

her touch

her heart beat

her breath

your first love

cheerish those moments

they will only come once
