Kermit M Henry

Writing about myself should be an easy task, because I am a writer. I think of fictional people and write about their life, their expetations. But I find it complicated and surreal to tell the world about myself. Well here goes. Married for eight years before a career change to being single, worked for thirty years retired young and decided to experience truth through my written words and hindsight. I have written several fictinal novels and tried to re-invent poetry through what I feel is modern day poetry, I call it Poetic Thoughts. With a care for individual understanding and using he experience and knowledge that I have seen through out my living years. "I will do what it takes to see what it takes". Not a complicated person but I have a intricate and investigative mind for answers to questions not asked or thought of as necessary by those giving answers. There is a need within me to give my opinions. To solve problematic situations, to see the what in why. Grew into manhood in the Texas fields, working cotton, hay etc., before being released from the laobrs of the back to the use of my mind. I developed into a thinking mans job. Sitting at a desk getting unhealthy, the norms of city workers. That too I changed, hoping to see ohere like myself. As of yet there is only me, thinking and doing. There is more of my life, I will tell you more at another time of a man with many possibilities, but too shy to meet them head on. Sometimes running into your future can be a good thing. It was for me.

POETIC THOUGHTS

MOMENTS IN TIME

My stories, my thoughts are of ideas with truth within, you will have to look beyond the impossible to see the possible, to feel the thoughts, to understand the truth in my work, and to see beyond the reality of your existence. It is possible to make a statement with half a truth, as a true statement. I write within my Poetic Thoughts, these possibilities, they are truth through my vision, hindsight and plenty of my doing. Read them with that possible truth and enjoy what you see and understand.

It is about you and me, and

Why it matters to be you and me

We need each other

We want to see

What we think

What we do

We need to know

That we are not alone

We need to hear our thoughts

We need to see our doings

We are not able to

Do it alone

To survive alone

To grow alone

To have a future alone

To merge our values alone

It is about you

It is about me

And it matters to

You and me

That this is necessary

That this is you and me

And nothing

Without you

37339.png

We all have our values

This is why

Some of us

Fits so easily

Into the gloves of life

Some choose the wants

Over the needs

Some make no decisions

They move with the tides of

Those who have decided

37341.png

Daughter of my father

But not the daughter

Of my mother

Learn how to take

That pat on the back

As a thank you

For something you have done

And not think someone

Is trying to pick

Your pocket

For something they want

From you

37344.png

Talk to all whom

Have something you want

And be the difference

They want

It does not take much effort

To grow ignorances

Just stop giving knowledge

Stop trying to understand

Stop paying attention

Stop wanting more of

The growth hormones

Of the mind

And you will see

Ignorance is easy to be

We all want something

Getting that something

Takes an effort

We are not willing to do

This ideal grows

Into nothing

Ignorance, is not

Wanting to make

The effort to

Not be ignorant

Into being smart

That time between

Awake and asleep

When you want to be

Awake and

You drift into sleep

Only to wake moments later,

The times when you

Want to sleep and

Awake moment afterwards,

This powerful

Non-sleep

Non awake will

Continue until

You take control

Of your mind

And sleep deeply

Or get up

And begin your something

As is all your actions

You are the key

For a better restful sleep

Or full day awake

Each time you

Think of me

About me

For me

I feel good.

If I have not

Done wrong to you

For you to think

Bad of me

And you think

Bad of me

I feel good.

For you just

Having the thought of me

Good or bad thoughts

Is enough to know you care

Good or bad of me

And maybe the bad

Thoughts are not

The bad of me

That you think of me,

But a bad thought

Of me that is a good

Thought for you

To you

To continue

To feel the good

Of you, to you,

Then you and

I will

Feel good

To you

And will be

Good for you

We live to

Be ready for the

Next life

People live to get older

Change that idea,

Live to be ready

For your next

Age of your life

The next time

Of your life

Be ready to see

Be ready to become

Be alive to feel all

The changes that

You have done,

To know that

You are ready

For your next life

To live and

Be renewed with

Things to do

There are two folds

Of living

Within your existence

What you want to do

Creates what you can do,

Your times

Within your time

Is complete

Is made whole

The moment your

Can do’s becomes a reality

The time when you

Will know your wants

And your can do’s

Are the same and completed

When you fuse your have

With your wants

There is a third fold

To your existence

Where are you going?

What will happen

Now that you have

Nothing to need or want to do

Your times within your time

Has merge into one time

A third act of living

Within your time

With no vision of things to do

Or wants to be completed

What can you do

What will you do

What will you want

With so much time

What you do is important

Why you did it, is personal

What is the factual

Part of what is done

Why is the mythical part

Of why you did that act

What, why,

Understand them

And you will

Understand your

Ifs

When I run for exercise

To renew myself

I do this

Form of thinking

I run looking into

My future and

Remembering

My past

I see before me

And behind me

I cannot have

Them both

I am trying to be

My future and

Be my past

What am I

What will I see

What will I be

When I stop running

When I look

Into my present time

And become

What I see

Our children

Failings are

Their willingness

To listen to the easy

Side of truth

The side where everything

Is easy and fun

The side that their peers

Hears and tells to them

The ones who listen

To the easy sides of doing

These youthful acts

Of imaginations

Of wishful dreams

To see their world

Through the eyes of others

That age of believing

That tells them they can do

Because they said you can do

This will not hold together

As the child grows

Into that something,

He and she thinks is important

Their strength through their parents

Can prevent them

From losing control

Of their lives and

Their hold on reality

Some will gain from

This dream world

And be released into

The world of growing up

Others, the circle of

Life will continue

Trying to regain

Their youthful failing

Another form of

Wanting to be

That special something

But not knowing how.

Not asking for help.

Trying to be a man or woman

With a child’s mind

The tragedy of being

Me, in us,

The two people that

Saw the world and

Enjoyed their

Togetherness

Until the one wanted more

The other lost

The way

I am the one who

Lost the way

For a moment

That have endured for years

That continues to

Appear within my mind

And destroyed the

Connection

To the world

Of us.

Without saying which one

Did what to

Break the connection

Will it make a difference

Are the two ends

Waiting to be reconnected

Has the world lost

Or just waiting for

The two of us

To see

The us in me

Humanity to humans

Is the hardest understanding

For God to give

To his creations

For humans to understand

The purpose of

This emotion.

God has recreated

His humans, twice

And still God’s love

Cannot bring understanding

Of this emotion

Of this love of

Humanity within

His humans

Are we that unnecessary

We cannot see

Our salvations is

With our entirety

The all of us together as

Humans with kindness

Things are hard sometimes

But think deeply

You will know that

The only easy times

The only easy things

Are when you were

A baby

You are wrong.

The hardest thing then

Was trying to get

Someone to understand

What you wanted

What you are saying

Now it is hard

For you to think

Back that far

For you to remember

The times when

Everything had to be

Done for you

The times when you

Wanted to do it yourself

But could not

It was not easy growing up

In those easy times

Answers for

Questions not asked

37346.png

The acceptance of wrong is

The realization of how

Unbelievable truth is

And why we do wrong

And believe we are

Doing right

37350.png

Wanting more and more

And more, and

Giving less and less

We become over burden

With our wants

And mindless

With our giving

My thoughts are

Stones I throw your way

Stones to start

Your thinking processor

Stones to alert you

Stones to bring understanding

That, there are

More Than one way

To give your thoughts

And understand

Your ideals, understand

Your purpose for doing

Understanding

The many ways

To be a human

With understanding

Do not dodge my thoughts

My stones

Embrace them to see

And become that

Understanding person

Knowledge is science

Belief is religious

Both together

Is God like and

At time takes God

To understand the

Differences of

Knowledge and belief

There are no differences

Between the four words

Just the one mind

Taking that step

Toward the fifth word

Peace

We have the

Want to be

We have the

Gonna be

There is many of one

Which be

Are you

The many or the few

The haves, or

The wants

You can have both

You can be one or the other

It is your fate

Your decision to make

One is easier to have

Than the other

You make the choice

You live your choice

It will happen

To you one day

Right between the eyes

The knowledge

That you knew existed

But is afraid to see

Afraid to let it

Become a reality

It will happen

To you and

All like you one day

Just wait and see

The knowledge is

Continual and forever

The fear is real

The end is necessary

But not what I want

Not what I need

Not what I believe.

I know it will

Happen to me

As I see it happening

Again and again

To others

Right between their eyes

All things must end

Good or bad

The end will be there

Must be there

Before a new

Something can begin

When you read,

Read to find understanding

In the subject matter

Do not look for flaws

Reasons for not reading

These things are easy to see

Or you will create your own

In any case

They are not your reasons

For reading

They are your reasons

For not reading

Your reasons

For doubting what

You are reading, reasons

To lose your understanding

Put the material down

And when you are

Ready to read

Read with understanding

Read to see

What is about to happen

And you will grow

To be understood

As you see

The meaning of the

Material being read

You will understand

Why it is necessary

To open your mind

And you will enjoy

What you are reading

The truth born

From a lie

Our mind is complicated

But one thing it does

Is cares for the host

Our mind will

Recreate that lie

We tell ourselves, to

Makes us comfortable

Make us feel wanted

Then in our mind

That lie becomes

Our truth

Our memory of

Something that did not

Happen.

Our mind is giving

Comfort to

Our feelings of well being

As we think and

Live within that

Fabricated truth.

One day we will

Open ourselves to

Unravel our lives

Until then

Enjoy your truths

Time does not

Move at your speed

Or my speed

Or our speed

Time moves at time speed

For time moments

For some, time is moving

At the right speed

For others, too fast

Others, too slow

Each of us has a

Limited amount of

Time moments

Where we enjoy

Our time

Our place

In time

Until we want

More time

More moments

When we need more time

To do those things

We put off for a later time

When we are moved

Out of time’s time, by

Getting older and slower

We search for ways

To add more time

To our time

Trying to find ways

To keep up with

Times, time

Time will not

Wait for us

Time must continue

Time will be forever.

We see time

Moving past our existence

We reach out

To those who have

Their time

Their moments

Hoping that they

Will take us

With them

As they use their time

Giving us more

Time to enjoy

This time.

Time does what

Time does

That is move forward

Taking with it

Our love time

Our fun time

Our life time

Time waits for no one.

Time is forever

Use your time wisely

Neither will I again

Smite any more

Every thing living

As I have done before

Genesis 8:21

37352.png

Do you feel the need

To be better than

What you are

What are you

Waiting for, do it

And feel the strength

You have within

Food for thought

Every day I

Put on two pounds

Of weight, food and water

Before going to bed

The next morning I have

Lost one and a half pounds

Of weight

I find I have actually

Gained a half pound

Until I learn how to lose

Two pounds

Of weight per night time

Of my sleep

I am going to get

Larger per month

Day, year of my life

You can always

Find an if

In your probability

When you are

Unsure of

The why

Of your actions

Hiding behind

An open door

Gives you only

A small space to hide

And no hiding place

Once the door is

Closed

Understanding your actions

Makes it easier

To keep that

Door open

And for you

To see whatever

Is coming your way

Aging creates pain

From birth to death

As we age

We have pain

The pains of living

As we move form

Mother’s arms and caring

To learning how to walk

Puberty to teenage

The pains of growing

The growing of aging

Learning how to live

Amongst others like ourselves

The pains of realizing

That you are different

Going from grade school

To high school

The pains continues

Mentally and physically

They both hurt

The pain is there

Growing as we age.

Getting rejected

By your first love

Rejected at work

For a job you wanted

The pains continues

We are not aware of this thing

Or the affects of pain

Until the pain happens

Then it starts

Doing what pain does

The pains will always

Be with us.

We should not fear pain

But so much pain

So much pain

So many days of living

With this thing.

The pains should not

Hurt as much

But it does and

Is felt deeper than before.

Living to age sixty

The pains of living continues

In short burst

In moments of relief

In times of rest

The body starts to

Shut down from,

So much pain

From so many days of

Living with this thing

So much pain.

The pains continues to grow

Aging creates the pain,

The pains of seeing

Your love ones die

The pains of being alone

The pains of knowing

That you have only

A short time to enjoy

The life you created

The pains of needing

The help of others

To do for yourself

The pain continues

So much pain

So little living

The pain grows

The pain is alive

You know

To stop aging will

Stop the pain

And will

Stop the living

Which stoppage

Will cause you

The most pain

Pain creates aging

Aging creates pain

A life without one

Creates nothing

About being a blank.

There are times

In my existence

When I see nothing

I hear nothing and

I remember nothing

These are not good times

Just necessary times

Of moments of necessity

Times of my inaction

Times not of my doing

Times I do not like

I want to be aware

Of all my time

To feel and know

That I am alive

That I know

What I am doing

With my time

That I am using

My time correctly

That there are important

Reasons for my time

I will be ever watchful

For those moments

Of my blankness

And put something

Within those moments

Of nothingness

Then there will be

No more blank times

For me

I am ready

To begin, and use

All my time

The amount of lies

You put in your truth

The amount of truth

You put in your lies

Is a reflection of

Your existence

Of how you think

Of what you want

Others to think of you

Can you tell

One truth

One lie

One purpose

Without combining

The other

To that truth

To that lie

To that purpose

What does a whole

Truth entails

What makes it whole

And not part of something else

We live longer,

We are putting more

In our living, and

Time is moving ever faster

The longer
