Rules of the rain

Did you know the rain has rules?
Well…when you live in Oklahoma you quickly
Learn how to spot tornadoes and also
Awesome cloud shots sprinkled with rainbows

The right side of the rainbow


The left side is very faint but it’s there along with the yellow storm sky.


I love a storm.

Good Morning Sleepyhead

Good morning sleepyhead
I heard you wrestling in your bed
I wondered did you even sleep a wink

I whispered you our good night song
I thought you even sang along
But I’ve noticed you seem to have lost your tune

So I wondered out on starry night
Sent you kisses oh so bright
Hoping they would grace your weary eyes

Very much to my surprise
The sun did crest with such delight
Good night my sweet love~good night

When the storms have passed

When the storms have passed
Though flood waters surround us still
We see things in a different light
We are ever changed

Arkansas River floods Oklahoma

2019 Arkansas River flood has made the records books for the highest river levels ever. By Wednesday the River is expected to crest at 42′. The Army Corp of Engineers has been releasing at full capacity since the rains started. Flooding is rampant along the bordering river towns.

Below are some photos I took standing on Riverside walking trails in Tulsa, that are today gone due to errosion from the rushing waters.

I thought it would be better to get a closer look riding a scooter, so I did. I left after seeing the mighty Arkansas River overtake a playground area.

On my way home I stopped by the Verdigris River, which feeds into the Arkansas River, this river is by my home and I’m thankful I’m living on high ground.

The scariest part for me is that my mom and sister live in Arkansas in Van Buren. The city is surrounded by water. Fortunately they both live on higher ground like me. 🙏🏼💜

Stars like rain…Roads like fences

Stars like rain
Roads like fences
makes no sense
Since roads lead
yet these seem to hem
lengthen and strengthen
the distance between
Stars like rain
Road like fences
Maybe it’s me
I think

Happy Sunday

Let the light back in


Are you ever gonna
Let the light back in?
I refuse to let the darkness win
Even if you don’t see light
Make your own light…
I made this for you

Remember baby girl…

I just said this to my girl as she headed out the door. I love that she came back and asked me why I said that and I told her I felt like she was getting ready to make a big choice and I wanted her to know, SHE’S GOT THIS!

Guess I should listen to my own advice. 😉

I’m on my own yellow brick road


I’m on my own yellow brick road
Not looking for someone to set me free
Not looking for truths to be revealed
I’ve got a mind and heart and brains of my own
I’m just walking and wondering when I will get it
Looking to the moon and God to make my way clear
I can make jobs, houses and material stuff
I truly want the things I can’t manifest for myself
I’m not sure how to say that with a poetic note
I’m okay with that, I’m looking at the moon and wondering a lot
