I have become
All things unattractive
where once a jaw

Now a roll
Where once a crouch
Now a pouch

Where once a leap
Now a creep
Lonely as a lighthouse keeper

-- Third generation keeper that is --

Perturbed at day and night
fretting against lifestyle I inherit
Witness many shipwrecks
On stones of stand and rocks

Hidden midst panes of light
and ‘midst uncertain sea life
Where once sea froze

Was it safe to walk under
Relying might we
with what we chose

to use boots as boats
Frozen toe and guts
Alone as a wind gust
Nature christened "Bad Temperament"

safe to christen also
Other souls letting go
Bodies mashed 'tween wall
Of water and toe of tower
warnings turn in bearings

to signal friendlies journeys

Friendlier and friendliest peers
Neighbors look into vapors
stare at sea wave bombs

-- Some frightened; some remain calm --

And ask ‘What can we do?’

We built a pier
To tie me froze boat

We sank down below water line
And towed it,
pulling lines in tow

Till we froze and float
Yet yonder, at tide line
Dry patches pavement

Scant puddles left
Like toed nails appointment
Against climates
addled temperament

On piers lay soldiers’ wives
at shore children’s wails
Crying, bereft against torrents
of ignoble swales

Uncertain rigors prevents
Eternal pathos to prevail
though abundant trouble

To die, turn up one’s toes

A chap should be what he can do!

And not as he's told.

That is why Mankind is so Special in God the Father's Creation

  1. Why do you think God gave mankind the gift of choice?

I think it is because omniscience makes for no need, or rather, no requirement for choices to be made. If you want to continue creating as God the Creator does, then there must be some thing, or factor of choice.

That alone is enough to keep watch whether the kettle boils, as I see it. pd/mpw 07.2008
