Mother Nature Closing Her Eyes.........

Mother Nature is taking such a beating...man has only populated this earth for approximately 250,000 years and look what we have done to her! Our footprints trod so heavily without regard to her health and well-being. The impact we make, directly relates to our human and animal populations’ health and well-being. With this in mind, I believe Mother Nature will close her eyes, not give in, but lie dormant. Her surrender will be temporary, because she knows she will have her chance to be healthy, to bloom in all of her natural beauty once again. The earth has existed for over 600 million years. We cannot fathom waiting thousands of years for her to begin her own fight back. For Mother Nature, thousands of years will be a blink of an eye.

Harley

My son Harley would "freak" if he knew
that i was like "this"!

He'd say Mom Mom you really have to fight "this"I did not want to ruin your life
remember before when all seemed so right!

But now my sweet son all i see is wrong
nothing is right
as i lay awake in bed
thinking bad thoughts of your last night
But Mom Mom you did everything right
you had no control
over what happened to me my last night
so please don't loose sight
never give up the fight
to be the Mom I always knew
before my last night
their are other's who need you
be here for them for me for you

Mom Mom
I know that the tears you cry are for me
but try to stop crying and then you'll see
we did share time together
you and me
21  years filled with love is what i see
so be there for me for i am by your side
a part of you so alive

Mom Mom i hope one day you'll be back, promise
 you'll see
 you can be a good mom
and live on for me,

the level

tell it like it is
what have i got to loose
on this Saturday
my mind running free
watching the world roll bye
and good-bye
 and all the time
seeing a sign
like water for sale
and all the salt water
that a whale needs
to roam free
followed around by a
crowd of need
a huge crowd of needy people
fighting for food
a flight for shelter
a fight for dignity
for we are grounded
no escape from our stance
no romance
with our leaders
leading like there is no
tomorrow
as they borrow against tomorrow
all the money
could be air
they don't care
are we maybe
being dared
should we  maybe
be
kind-of scared

I was doing an on-line tarot card reading for someone...while i shuffled the deck i was reading an article about Amy Winehouse, her passing away and all. I then laid the cards out and thought, no way this can't be right,..my heart started to race, the reading actually upset me....then i realized i had probably done Amy Winehouse's reading instead...because that's who i was concentrating on?! Now back to the task at hand!

Equal

wise of mind, young at heart
 cool not to grow up
 a miserable old fart
driving slow around town
in our mind it's the gas
can't go fast
living in the past
things have quadrupled in price
like a measely bowl
of chicken fried rice
can't want to remember when
how long it's been since
a mirror was joy
instead of a slightly
obscene ploy
to wear me down
and my toy
worked well
in it's day
did i say?
oh well
which way is hell?
or am i" livin' it" 
as grama use to say
our heaven and hell
we lived everyday
i believed that women
as she slurded her way
through her life
some unlucky guy's wife
that was my granpa
almost an olympic swimmer in his day
swam often all around the bay
may have died because of all the toxins
i say..that where and are still
in the bay
 his poor liver gave way
and never drank at all
in his day
and now it's my turn
to forget what i said
feeling very sore
as i lay in my bed thinking
out-loud
in my head
feeling the pressure to give up my space
on the earth
not to waste
my home sweet home's
precious space

since my first breath until
 it's my last
i thank-you...dear life
for now
forever
and the past.....

World Tarot Card Reading; June 22, 2011...nothing really changes

O.K. I did a reading for this poor tired earth..............

The "Self" card: The Tower-change in a sudden manner, the breaking down of old beliefs. Changing of opinion, downfall, ruin,....loss of stability, loss of security, love and affection.  A terrible change is occuring but could be a break-through...the possibiliy of new and favorable beginnings.

The "Situation" card:  10 of  Swords-ruin and pain....sadness and trouble to come...too many tears, too much sorrow, trouble surrounds!

The "Conclusion" card:  (This card is the conclusion to the immediate situation.of our earth).  The Death card-unexpected change, abrupt change...the ending of a farmiliar situation. Permanent scars from prior events, from indecision.  Since great changes are taking place could be a possible blessing in disguise!!

Wishin'

wishin' and washin'
swishin' and swashin'
postcards and phone-calls
from far away....
all the chores
ya can't ignor

lookin' at the door, thinkin'
how ya'd like to explore
a deeper valley floor?
the cool green does implore
"need alittle more"?
you open that door
and run
run
run
until you can't run
no more
cause you hope to make your way
til yer old and sore
it hurts to the core
more efford
now that everythings slow
the time even so
cause it always time to go
but ya never really know
when
remembering back

to time long ago
more than worth
the unknown goal!

many miles of life
etched in our faces
smiles and frowns
they all have traces
thinking of things that make me smile
and sometimes thinking some sad...
the people,
 the places,
 the times that pass....
cherished
foolish
some that I consider bad...
some I wished coud have lasted...
an eternity...
not  a flash...
in the pan......
there is no way of knowing
when and how......
to grasp.

Status Quo

a conversation between friends

middle class dreams
slippin' and sliding
impress me with art
spice up your life
gamble and be
what you
want to be
walkin' in the right door
at that moment
or the wrong
trying the radical
wounded and broke
nothing here
the last person
the past
filled with pleasuressss
excuses and blame
a fried con artist
using and used
putting a spin on the big
promise
we all still have our
body
ruled by the same
demons
the rich exploit
the mobsters and gangsters
losing faith the moment
you opened your eyes
at birth
the beginning of
some very funny stories
middle class promises
jump into a pool
on a hot summer's day
dive in
breath deep
go to sleep
all the little
sweet sheep....................................

the way things are...

Status Quo

Status quo...it's got to go
makes some men feel low

that status quo
makes everything slow
like
some things won't grow
and saying no
before a go
feels like a blow
too much control

  that status quo

the state of things, the way things are
as opposed to the way that they could be
the exsisting state affairs
seem unfair
to me!

Divided world

confused world reading...pulling from a deck of 78 cards, the Devil, twice.  Believing now that there was no mistake, as it was served it up both ways. Now is the time to believe that the world is full with hope of the realization of our reality.  Also I see no good from many souls...and now who shall win? 

Tarot Card Readings by Deborah

   These are afew of the  Major Arcana cards of my Tarot deck.  I have had this deck for over 35years.  It is my favorite deck and is called the Tarot of the Wiches 007 edition.  I really enjoy doing readings for anybody, but try to avoid reading these cards for very close;  family members and friends, and my own...best somethings not to be known! 
  I will be doing  readings on line for friends and acquaintances.  Also on this blog  i will be doing a weekly reading for our world.   

 Anybody interested in a  personal  on line reading I  will do a:   self /current situation and conclusion reading for free. Any further readings are  by appointment only and I charge a fee..the reading will be in person, up to one hour long and can be recorded.  Any further information I can be contacted through the e mail address that appears on my Deborart Blog or through my facebook link.  Enjoy Life and make it happen...only you can!

 

cope-less

 

I hear the sound 
blarring in my brain
this is no game
to tell me right from wrong
looked into a mirror
soul searching
all the way inside
where we are
so powerless and full
of judgemental fright
trying always to give it all
a purpose

engaging and wishful
it's all just a game
our plight
into the darkness
of the light
that will be the end
right?

Crin-gin"

what madness...searching my brain
for answers to questions
that really
make no sense to ask
we know the answers
to some of our own ideas
but not from another's
point of view
open your thoughts
gather up strength
grit your teeth with anger and hate
wanting to save your children, all children
from what
eternal darkness
eternal light what's wrong and
what is right
some take flight
some fly planes right into
the fight
the future should be
our own

to hold and mold
but we seem too busy
doing what
we are told

I Am

I am an animal
watching old ladies
kick at pigeons
I remind myself
of that
I am only an animal
in sheep's clothing
in leather shoes
amusing myself
with thought after
action
getting to the
heart of the matter
of all matters
does it matter
before I die
before I sleep
counting all those
naive
silly sheep

Now it's time to get "back to earth"...

Immortality, my friend was right....

After doing a tarot card reading for our world as it is...I am truly sad to say it is not looking good.  Is this possible, I was trying to believe in some-sort of golden age coming upon us.  Now I am sorry that I did this reading, not to worry for that would be futile, not to give up or give in? 

Another Day a pencil drawing by Debbie Griffiths

A Way to Go

Saddness,
in a moment everything
your life
your wife is gone
 an unimaginable landscape
no comfort of life
 left standing
listening, cries in the distance
 in the darkness
 planes searching for survivors
left to feel alone, cold, wet
no side-stepping fate it's
always there
 so alive
strong and fierce
free flowing
 and so wild
 her true colours
stunn us again
 love her true beauty
all the way
 to the end

Not Now...

the concern shows on my face
I pretend that all is well
my wrinkle creams that trick me
believeing that age
can only be skin deep
like beauty
sometimes a tried and true trick
of make-up
like a coat of paint covering all the marks and cracks
the wise soul inside knowing that
it use to make you look older
but not now
how
could this happen

To Feel Love; Poem by Deborah L. Griffiths

To Feel Love
to feel love
wondering, who is
sleeping
beside me.
you are the one
only in my dreams
vivid, relaxing
in my dreams
I feel relaxed
with you
in my dreams
to sleep
with you
in my dreams
vivid, controlling
yet wild
in my dreams
Now you are
so alive
in colour,
so real now
in my dreams.
alive now
no more dreams.

When Winter Looks Good...

Living in Paris; Poem by Deborah L. Griffiths

Living in Paris
living
in paris
alive and
considerably well
collecting treasures
and pleasures
famous actors
poets and painters
seen in the crowded cafe
beautiful slender girls
with dark hair
and dark eyes
never ending laughter
a man hangs by his tie
the laughter in
the background
then dies
is it all just lies,
can we control
every aspect
of our minds
our feet dip deep
into the sand
we are now in a
far-away land
I reach for the salt water
not to drink
I say' save our thirst
for some wine
and then we can dine
and here we are
back in Paris, France
again...
it's not really
ment to end
