Independence Day....Quotes & Poems below...

There are no necessary evils in government. It's evils exist only in it's abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection and as Heaven does its Rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified Blessing.

Andrew Jackson


Be Courteous to all but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried, before you give them confidence. True Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

George Washington

Empty Purse....

She holds her Purse
clutched tightly
against her heart
unable to open it's contents...
for fear........
of what others may see inside....
too much clutter
and yet so empty...

Blind..

Denial is Blind....

Denial is Blind
Boggles the mind
friendly or unkind,
Starting a fire
out of control
hard to hold
never let go
hang on.....

Bind hands
so tightly
unable to losen
or set free...
holding on
to False reality,
with a grip
so fierce
boggles the mind,
as the soul is pierced
unable to find
what's ahead
what's real
and what's true,
beyond your own existence
of "you".

*A thank you to Ardi for helping to encourage me to gain inner strength to "Connect* to others with my words "once again"*

Dimensional Sunglasses...

See the Tigress in me
but unable to unleash
my Femininity...
It's hidden inside
my vulnerability
to protect from all sides
keep me safe from harm
is it time for me
to disarm?
Remove my sunglasses?
Let the Sun reflect my soul?.....

People walk blind
feeling no connection
with their spiritual sunglasses on
hidden in dimensional diguise
free from the truth
spreading all the lies.
Life is great
Life is never crooked
nor do we ever
make a mistake....

Straight ahead is a blazing Fire
burning to the touch
we're walking on hot coals
pretending there's no pain
pretending there's no sorrow
pretending there's no shame...

Only the light Reflects
what we cannot
or refuse to see
when wearing our dimensional sunglasses
we are covering up true reality..

Happy Mothers and Womens Day!

Happy "Mothers Day" for all the Mothers in the world who love
their Children proudly and would do anything for them.
To the Mothers who know how to love, nurture and enrich their childrens
lives, whether their still young or all grown up.
To Mothers who have made great sacrifices
for their children
and would do it again
if necessary.....

Happy "Womens Day" to all the Women of all ages who
are not Mothers (I'm not) but wonderful "Feminine" Women who
are strong inner Souls and Spirits who nurture and connect with
"Mother Earth" and "Mother Nature" .......
as we bloom evermore to be renewed and bring
love and Peace to set the world right again!
Buy yourself some flowers today!
Stand tall be proud of yourself!
You've come a long way baby!..:)

All Women unite in nurturing more Love, Peace and Inner Wisdom
into this world of ours...as we "Bloom" again and again and again
reuniting with and connected to "Mother earth"..

Helen Reddy's song still rings true
Ladies sing it with me!...

I am woman hear me roar
and I'm too big to ignore
as I spread my loving wings
across the land.

But I'm just an embyro
with a long long way to go
until I make "My Brothers" understand

Oh yes we are wise but its wisdom from the pain
oh yes we've paid the price but look how much we've gained
If we have to we can do anything
we are strong
we are invincible
we are "Women"....

We've been down there on the floor
but we don't want to go back no more
because we know to much to ever go back again

Oh yes we are wise but its wisdom from the pain
oh yes we've paid the price
but look how much we've gained
if we have to
we can do anything
we are strong
we are invincible
we are "Women"....

Sorry if the lyrics aren't completely accurate
as I'm just typing them from my memory..

Happy Mothers and "Womens" day!

And when Fathers day comes around
Happy Fathers day!
Happy Mens day!
We must all acknowledge and respect one another
and never "exclude" anyone..

So Happy Gay Day!
Happy Childrens Day!
Oh did I forget anyone?
Please let me know if I did!
Each and every single one of you
that reads this have a wonderful Sunday!

With Angel Blessings,

Rhiannon

Hurricane Flame.....

Hurricane Flame

Keep it simple Rhi
stop tossing about
your Hurricane Flame
stop throwing caution
to the wind....
Instead....
shut down
be more like them
break don't bend
walk about
and blend
"in"....

Be a "Team Player"
not a Sooth Sayer
Zombies, Zombies, Zombies...
Pay your dues
and join the club..
"Mickey Mouse"
M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e
sorry, I'm not a member.....

I'm throwing caution
to the wind again
its my middle name
and I know this will never change....
yet common sense and intuition
still abound
in between
to keep me sane..........

I Do Not Agree.....

I Do Not Agree

Monster smiles
say "surprise"
pull your cape
over your eye's
run for cover
to protect you from the rain
to protect you from the lies
to protect you from the pain....

Streaked colors
run down the walls
in the room hidden
behind deceit
not to be believed.....

They advise you to abandon your character
and join them....
The Beast that roam the night
in a Souless city.....

"Become one of us and you'll get what you need" they say...
"No, You'll never own my soul
and if you were to ever ask me why
I would tell you "I Do Not Agree"
but you still wouldn't understand
you'd still be mystified", I said.....
