Just Like Anyone Else

-
I have ears
I also have eyes
I can hear
I can see
 
I have feet
Covered in shoes
My socks
Keep me warm
Cushioning the blows
 
 
Inside of me
Organs function
Heart pumps blood
Bowel
Compels expulsion
 
Abuse my liver
Overwork my bladder
Kidneys function
Aches and pains
Fit and hale
Summer time tanning
Winter skin pale
 
 
Lungs that take
Great volumes of air
In and out
Breathing
Alive, I am aware
 
My fingers grasp
The intricate workings
Pinching
Cupping
Scratching
Feeding
 
Inside of my head
Beneath the toughness of my skull
My brain uses information
I process and feel
 
Like everyone
No matter their colour
My palest of skin
Scottish in pallor
 
 
The hair on my head
Unruly, grows quickly
I am unique
Just like you
I am human
 
Capable of greatness
Humble when relevant
Happy with glee
I can cry like any one
Tears from me can stream
 
I watch the TV
Or listen to tunes
The sorrow of warfare
The struggles I see
 
The inspiring that touches me
Way down inside
The things that I have witnessed
That make me want to hide
Or to share with all others
Who missed their chance to see
 
Just like anyone
Not too unusual
Capable of loving
Capable of hate
Sometimes on time
Notoriously late
 
Just like anyone
 
 
AGL

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Be all.

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
