“Unmarked Territory”

I don’t know how many “lasts”
there are

will this be the “last”
super bowl with my kids
will it be the “last”
Valentine’s Day
will every special day
till May
be a “last”

things I don’t want to think about
but will
because it’s important
to treat every day as a “last”
and make the most of it
last

“Standing Still”

in Texas
I’d think about
San Diego time

in San Diego
I’m thinking about
Texas time

between two worlds
where time really flies
either forward or backward

in between old and new
in between before and after
in between then and now

it’s like reading a book
and saving your place
to go back to

Publishing Road

Okay, so, the world of publishing…it’s pretty big, and in reading/watching/etc., I learned that having your poem published in a journal or magazine is a good first step (and an easy one), so I’ve submitted one of my poems to a Christian magazine to see how it goes; although, it doesn’t really “need” to be Christian, but that’s what I stumbled upon.

To be totally honest, it’s difficult for me to concentrate on publishing when rent is looming. My focus tends to be on what I “should” be doing to make money now.

Ugh, at times, I don’t like being honest, but I can’t help it.

I love God, trust God, know God…it’s marketing that I don’t know or don’t have the patience for.

Anyway, a worship flag would be a GREAT Christmas gift. [hint, hint] 😉
