  • writing- check out my poem

    Sunday, March 29, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I wrote a poem yesterday first one in several months and I wrote 3 pages in my auto-bio.  Nice start for someone who is always tired.
    Shouting Voices
    By: K. Wilhelmina Floria
    03/28/09
    Infectious disease,
    contagious virus,
    communicable, transmittable,
    epidemic,
    Madness.
    Undiscriminated, undirected,
    flamboyant, ostentatious,
    plausible, erratic,
    a quandary of conflict,
    War
    Jostled from tranquil dreams,

  • Courage to face tomorrow

    Friday, October 3, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    Courage is admitting that you’re afraid and facing that fear directly.
    It’s being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it. Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinions of others.
    It’s following your own heart, living your own life,
    and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.
    Courage is daring to take a f...

  • For Every Season There's A Reason

    Saturday, May 10, 2008

    For every season……. There’s a reasons
    The down pour of rain was so heavy, I could barely see.
    The fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
    The thunder was so loud it pierced my ears.
    The lightening felt like deep sharp cuts.
    The sun shined so brightly I could not see.
    The leaves fell so plentiful. I felt overwhehlm for there was too many to pick up alone
    When the hail came it ...

  • The Invitation

    Saturday, March 21, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
    It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
    It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched t...

  • Prayers

    Saturday, October 11, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    I
    C stands for concentrate. The first word in the model prayer is “Father.” Almighty God says that His children are to go to Him and call Him Father. We are to concentrate on Him as God, Father, His nature, His character, His dominion, His omnipresence. That’s the first ingredient.
    H stands for hallowed. “Hallowed be Your name.” The name of God is not to be used in a ...

  • What is a Boy?

    Wednesday, September 23, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    What is a Boy?
    Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful creature of a boy. Boys come in assorted sizes, weights and colors.  But all boys have the same creed: to enjoy every second of every minute of every day and to protest with noise (their only weapon) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night!  ...

  • Have I Gone Mad

    Tuesday, May 5, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Have I gone mad?
    By: K. Wilhelmina Floria 
    A metaphysical equation,an exact scientific formula situation,
    for that which has no answer. 
    Somersaulting into an abyss of confusion,rising from crystallize illusions. 
    Bits and bytes of a techno world.
    A matrix of gigabyte, and elaborate program. 
    Have I gone mad? 
    A world inside my world, out side myself. 
    A tranquil haze.
    A holog...

  • Journal Entry for February 18, 2009

    Wednesday, February 18, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

      "Hello," I said again a bit louder. With no answer, I started to turn away and follow another path but something told me I could not go yet. I decided it was worth another look. So I walked to the edge of the trail as if I knew what was ahead of me. I acted with bravado and even a bit of pride. I could have hesitated, but I thought someone was watching me and I knew not to&n...

  • Angels Sing in Me

    Monday, November 17, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

      Angels Sing In Me
    Angels sing in me.
    I rush to write down what I hear.
    I carry a pad and pencil everywhere,
    for this singing may come at any hour in any place.
    I must get it down quickly and turn it into words
    and phrases before it passes away,
    leaving no trace.
    For the Angels, I have noticed,
    hardly ever sing...
