He Was A Man
Geraldo Lunas Compos

Under The Apple Trees
I must stand in the light
and be the reflection
Of the love I know full well
Many think they know His love

Forgiveness does not mean
we don’t need change
Just because I accept

He Can Not Go Home
Victor Manuel Diaz

on Digital Road in El Paso, Texas

Keith Porter was shooting his gun in the air
Piano Music at 7 AM
There are Energizer Bunnies
wearing skates made of razor blades
running down my back while they pound on drums

Renee Good‘s last words
The Late Show January 7, 2026
An armed attack against Greenland
is an armed attack against NATO
and we don’t want to attack NATO…
You Always Know What to Do
I am so thankful
that I don’t have to know what to say to You
You already know…
I Wish You Joy
Whether you believe Jesus is the reason
or you light candles on a Menorah
If you celebrate…
I Can’t Do This Without You
I am made in my Creator’s image
I am white
I am female…
Choose Light
What if there was no left or right?
What if there was no black or white?
What if we saw the beauty…
Inappropriately
I am a woman
Many of my friends have been raped
All of my female friends have been
touched inappropriately

White Knuckles
I hate the hatred God
How can they hate
someone they have never met…
It Wasn't Just A Rock
I am the kind of civilian that
has already been forgotten
Yet you already want me to forgive…
Every Person is Important
Every Person is Important
I am not just saying this because
I am white…
Inside Out
Sometimes I try to climb back into the embrace of
Our arms entwined and our heart to heart…
I Don't Know Where You Are Sometimes
I missed you today
I have missed you lots of days
because you are going through…
Holy Fire
It is hard to think with my human mind
Sometimes my spirit is on fire
And I can’t imagine how to move…
The Crash
Wednesday January 29, 2025
probably seemed like any other night
Until Headline News screamed…
Being Brave For Myself
I have always had to be brave
I wasn’t allowed to be
my authentic

Things we have never seen before
have happened at his hand
He has encouraged us to give way to violence…

Book Review: The Florence Legacy by Lauraine Snelling
The Florence Legacy by Lauraine Snelling came to me in a bag of books that I have been working on for over a year as I also worked on other piles of books from my own collection and library books. I tend to be attracted to intense reads that require at least a few...
Book Review: With All Due Respect Defending America with Grit and Grace by Nikki R. Haley

Nana Really Tried
I keep thinking about this funny story of shopping with Nana lately that keeps me chuckling. My nana really tried with me. She was not accustomed to dealing with a child as fat as I was. When she was a child and had gained a few extra pounds my great-grandmother...
Book Review: Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon
My sister, Jamie Holloway, has figured out how to get people to mail her books to read for her opinion and when she is done with them, I often am the recipient of bags of books to read. Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon was one of those books in a bag full of books...
Dear Nana

Cancer Update May 2023: I Am Scared
The last week or so has been a lot. I am tired and I am scared. These are the words to sum up how I feel and I hate that I have only these words to say. Last Monday, May 15, 2023 I had my final D&C.
