| A holiday loner When I lived in Iowa - from fall 2015 - August 2019 - I spent every holiday by myself, and the bright side of that was I got to do whatever I wanted; that’s if I had the horses power to do anything - I was workin’ 18 hours of overtime every week: that leaves little to no time and energy for social stuff. 11/28/24 Namaste - Wilder the Quiet |
| Coffee I think its best when it’s hot I tend to drink it a lot My body’s not getting nourished in my sleep So the extra coffee gives me the energy I need For a while it was at least a pot a day If you reckon thats seems okay It warms my body and brain I burn off the caffeine via activities throughout the day a dash of half n’ half and sugar in the raw And it becomes a bitter sweet symphony Cheap, week coffee is just wrong wrong wrong One sip and we think, “really?!” I quit drinking it at 3 Any later and it’s hard to stay asleep 11/13/24 11/18/24 11/19/24 Namaste - Wilder the Quiet |
| Silently out loud Another “D.I.D. I Mention” story. I was laying in bed one night waiting for shut I time, reading a book. Suddenly I heard a voice in my head reading right behind me (mentally behind me not physically). For just an instant I was wonder’n what the voice was say’n; then I realized instinctively it was one of my Identities reading aloud to the others … or perhaps the young’ns: … or perhaps those who prefer listening: … or perhaps those who’s spirits are willing, but they don’t have the brain power to read with their own eye’s. But I only heard it the one time: - I’m a lot stumped by that. My only guess is that my Schizophrenia medication has slowly put up a large block on that ability of their's. 6/30/24 11/24/24 11/26/24 Namaste - Wilder the Quiet |
| The old lady who smiled so greatly! I met her at a neighborhood dinner party {which just happened to be hosted by my neighbor} At first I noticed her smilin’ everywhere she turned her head But when she’d lock eyes with someone!! Oooohh her face and eyes would light up like fireworks!! A short while later she comes over And says “hi I see you walking a lot” I said “yah I walk a fair amount” She says somethin’ like “its good your able to do all that” I said “yah I do what I have the strength for” Then she says with a handshake “well I’m Rose, I just wanted to say hi!” I said “well hi Rose, I’m Wilder”. I can’t remember what all was said after that Except she soon turned away smilin’ And went back to her seat I met her eyes a couple times after that And her face would light up every time Her face lit up anytime she locked eyes With someone for more than about a second I think I already said that but whatever  Those who truly smile in their hearts have a smile on their face that never completely fades! When I was a little boy at Montessori School for Children, my Native American name was “Smiling Snowy Boy”, because according to a lot of folks there, I was always smiling: and it was snowing when I was born. 10/15/24 10/17/24 Namaste - Wilder the Quiet |
| Greyhound That greyhound was one of the greatest sights I ever seen Because I knew I was finally headed for a safer place to live Except the sleeping … a good nights sleep doesn’t come easily 9/29/24 9/30/24 Namaste - Wilder the QuietGreyhound |
| sleeping on a Greyhound it doesn't really actually happen for there is little to no comfort to be found |
| Sails of the awakened We sail the seas of the cycling leaves Pedals of flowers be our sails in speed Curl asway when buffalo thunderous wave Cave of magic lotus blooming stars appraise On the moon we tread when our sun is dead Sunbright sinks into the ocean deep The clouds quake and the sea shakes Then the sun rises over all to start anew another day And the rolling roars ripple and tore Another thunderous sea rises ready for glory A rainbow rises and the ocean glows All the happy creatures climb on the glowing rain boat They sail away into a storm of flapping flamingo’s They all cry joyfully 8/15/24 9/3/24 Namaste - Wilder the Quiet |
| I used to be really good at haiku’s Then somewhere along the way I lost the groove But! Now! I believe they’ll reawaken soon! Woo hoo Namaste - Wilder the Quiet 9/5/24 |
| It was a moonless night, barely a whisper or a peep. Not a shadow of an owl in the trees. Or a black alley cat a creep’n the street. |
