The Unforgiving (Short Story) - 12/17/2022 3:39:33 PM
WOW! WHAT A RUTHLESS, HYPOCRITE AND CON ARTIST SHE AND HER DAUGHTER WERE. I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN...THROUGH THE YEARS. I SEE THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 2008, 14 YEARS AGO. NOW, I AM GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AND THINK ABOUT IT. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LITTLE OLD LADY AND HER DAUGHTER MIGHT ONE DAY STAND BESIDE YOU IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD...HAVING BEEN FORGIVEN? I KNOW IT'S HARD TO FORGIVE...ESPECIALLY WHEN THINGS ARE DONE TO ONE IN CHILDHOOD WHEN ONE WAS UNABLE TO DEFEND ONESELF. I KNOW BECAUSE I CARRIED A HATE FOR YEARS, FROM THE CRADLE WELL INTO ADULT-HOOD, UNTIL...I GAVE IT TO GOD. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS ABLE TO HEAL ME OF IT. I HAD TO FORGIVE BECAUSE I LEARNED IN GOD'S WORD THAT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO ENTER GOD'S KINGDOM WITH THAT HATE IN MY HEART. I HAD TO LET IT GO. AND I THINK SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WE SEPARATE SINS INTO CATEGORIES; LITTLE SINS, BIG SINS, MEDIUM SINS, ETC. BUT IN ACTUALITY THERE ARE NO BIG OR LITTLE SINS...SIN IS SIN. WHEN WE CAN ACCEPT THIS THEN WE LOOK AT OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR AND REALIZE...THOUGH SINS DIFFER, WE ALL HAVE SINNED TOO. AND GOD HAS FORGIVEN US BECAUSE THRU HIS BLOOD AND REPENTANCE WE RECEIVED THE GIFTS OF MERCY AND GRACE THAT WASHES AWAY OUR SINS. YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE WILLIAM AND I AM HOPING BY NOW YOU HAVE. IT REALLY IS A BLESSING WHEN GOD ALLOWS US TO LIVE TO OLD AGE...SO MUCH IS COVERED BY WISDOM, TIME AND JESUS' LOVE. THINK ABOUT IT; HE LOVES THAT WOMAN. HE LOVES HER DAUGHTER. AND HE LOVES YOU TOO, EQUALLY. AND HE IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD BE LOST. HOW DO I KNOW THIS? BECAUSE, MY FRIEND, I HAVE HAD TO REPEAT IT TO MYSELF A MILLION TIMES UNTIL AT LAST...MY SOUL, MY SPIRIT, MY MIND AND MY HEART...GOT IT. JESUS LOVES THE WORLD AND HE DIED FOR THE WORLD AND EVERYBODY IN IT... BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SINNERS. WILLIAM, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WRITE THIS TO YOU IF I HADN'T AT ONE TIME BEEN CONSUMED WITH HATE. SO, I KNOW WHAT GOD CAN AND WILL DO...IF WE LET HIM. THANKS FOR THIS SHARING, WILLIAM. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I can only hope your mother intervened and gave that woman a piece of her mind.
The Unforgiving (Short Story) - 1/21/2019 4:58:54 AM
What did your mother have to say to the lady who was calling you all those bad words? Did you get a chance to explain your innocence? Did you get in trouble by your mom. Did your mom and sister believe you? Thanks for share in your story, I would have been scared of that lady she seemed mean. If you can William I would appreciate it if you would write me back I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.

Have You Ever Seen A Ghost? (Short Story) - 8/29/2017 2:54:36 AM
I believe in ghosts because my grandfather's ghost was seen by many people (not related to us) in his old house. I've never seen him though. This story is very interesting but it does not excite fear. Thanks for sharing.

"Passion." What in the heck would the world do without passion?
Have You Ever Seen A Ghost? (Short Story) - 7/28/2017 1:42:08 AM
have not seen a ghost, have no doubt you did
on the other hand, also believe my long deceased, beloved grandfather visited me during the hours after my tiny, preemie son was born
g'pa and I were close before he died, he had a most distinctive whistle
I might have thought I was hallucinating, if not for the fact that the nurses in the ICU also heard his whistle as he approached my room
enjoyed reading of your experience

These experiences are etched in our minds forever and although we may consider this world as hell with all the sins and afflictions you meantioned...it is not hell to those who loved you and prayed for your successful outcome and recovery. I, as a police officer in California saw these atrocities you spoke of yet I value living more even in this world that is constantly endangered. I truly enjoyed this write and it was an excellent description that you had experienced and I know that you also know and experienced on a regular basis the worlds inhumanity as well as I.

Wake Up, Wake Up (Poetry) - 8/15/2022 8:59:17 AM
There was a sad tone in this one. And that's all I can say about it.
You made me recall years ago when I would go out on the back yard and listen to our resident mockingbird singing in the morning. With my failing hearing I can no longer hear his song, only the mournful sound of the mourning doves and white winged doves cooling affectionately to one another.
And now, almost every night, I have to call out loudly, "Wake up, Wake up, Wake up…! Because my partner/caregiver is so sleep deprived that she has a hard time getting up to help me when I need to turn many times during the night. I dread the day when I call and she doesn't wake up.
So I hope it's the other way around so she could be free of me to travel in her retirement.
Ron
Wake Up, Wake Up (Poetry) - 8/15/2022 12:52:25 AM

Thoughts Of Love (Poetry) - 3/23/2022 4:23:17 PM
I DELIBERATELY WENT ON A HUNT THROUGH YOUR MESSAGES FOR A LOVE POEM. I KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE EASY TO FIND ONE IN YOUR WORK BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU DO. I FOUND THIS ONE AND, YOU KNOW WHO IS THE ONJECT OF MY AFFECTION ALWAYS, SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS 'THOUGHTS OF LOVE' RENDERING IS A MARVELOUS REFLECTION OF THE LOVE SONG BETWEEN ME AND MY SAVIOR, INDEED. I KNOW YOU DIDN'T INTEND IT TO BE SPIRITUAL BUT THAT'S HOW I TOOK IT BECAUSE I NEEDED IT. POETRY IS LIKE THAT...ONE POEM MEANS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO SO MANY.

Bonjour William Bonilla ! If only ALL (former or present) police officers (all over the world) wrote poetry... on second thoughts - if only 1% did (like you or not), what a world this would look like on TV.
Thanks very much for your comments.
Newt time I see an American gent or lady, I'm going to ask him or her if s/he was from The NYPD before asking them to produce their papers in lieu of reciting lines from William Bonilla or the other way round.

A Prayer Appeared (Poetry) - 10/21/2021 10:32:25 AM
The kindest thing I can think of after living a full life, would be to have a quick and painless death, preferably while sleeping.
Praying for memory to come back or perhaps the muse to produce more creative work probably won't happen. But I hear there are pills that claim to do just that.
Ron

Keeps life flowing enthusiastically before us….

It is even better in April when all the cacti seem to want to bloom at once and force of them is filled with the life of the desert. It's a magical time in a magical place.

I DON'T CARE WHO WE ARE WE ALL CAN RELATE TO SOMEONE'S SORROW AND PAIN.
INDEED AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN THESE DAYS OF EXTREME SADNESS WHICH EXIST IN AMERICA...MANY SUCH CROSSES WITH FLOWERS ARE SEEN. AND THOSE THAT OBSERVE THEM, LIKE YOU AND SO MANY OTHERS, DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW THE MOURNING INDIVIDUALS TO BE SYMPATHETIC AND 'FEEL' THEIR PAIN. A WELL DONE, BITTERSWEET SHARING, MY FRIEND, THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
A tear at the edge of my sorrow (Poetry) - 9/7/2020 9:15:04 AM
Road accidents what they are, some roadsides would have thousands of crosses. A very poignant poem when you enter the man grieving.
But the idea of glorifying a place of death along roadways should be considered a temporary thing, lasting a short while in remembrance to those passing by. Generally those made with wooden sticks and flowers do disappear in time. But family tragedies should not become roadside memorials. In time they would become a nuisance and roadside distraction. There are exceptions, particularly for historical events.
Ron
A tear at the edge of my sorrow (Poetry) - 9/6/2020 10:37:20 AM
So sad. Yes, I've seen those crosses and flowers. Sometimes there's even a name either on the cross or on a sign nearby. It is heartbreaking to think of a life cut short, leaving behind loved ones to grieve.
Rebecca

The Lamb (Poetry) - 5/13/2020 10:56:08 AM
I believe the statue portrays a famous biblical passage where, "The lion shall lie down with the lamb." (Jane) Hopefully, a harbinger of the end of war, where the strong protect the weak rather than conquering them.

Calls Of The Wild (Poetry) - 4/26/2020 11:56:40 AM
Well said William!
These lines moved me the most:
"As they sense
A pestilence
Threatening mankind
While those from the left
Slither by silently."
As for what's really happening, many doctors now admit that even if we did not stay home even the highest peaks of this curve would have been manageable. In other words, they are saying that all we were trying to do was prevent was an over-load of our health system in the midst of an epidemic. Sure, it sounded bad when deaths were reported day-by-day and minute-by-minute but it was nothing that our present health system could handle. If that's true then we just improved our readiness for a bigger epidemic in the future. That's very good but was all this world-wide panic truly necessary? If it was NOT really necessary, then we have nothing to fear but fear itself!
Calls Of The Wild (Poetry) - 4/26/2020 9:43:58 AM
Reads like premonitions of what the coronavirus can do to the mind. But these are ancient sounds, too. The call of the wolf in the distance, signaling a hunt in progress when the huddled creatures can still be seen or smelled. The call of the owl, signaling to other owls that it has found a small bird or animal resting and can swoop down on silent wings to snatch up. And finally, the call of the loon in the night, laughing like a hyena at the moon shining on a placid lake.
Natural sounds in the night that conjure up chills down one's back but do not foretell a deadly virus striking soon.
Ron

SO WELL DONE WILLIAM AND SO TRUE. EVIL USES TIMES LIKE THESE TO COME WITH LIES, TRYING TO CONVINCE US THAT IT IS IN CHARGE AND GOING TO WIN! BUT THESE TIMES ARE JUST A TEST OF THE FAITHFUL WHO BELIEVE IN GOD. FOR WE KNOW, BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THAT GOD HAS THE WORLD IN HIS HANDS AND IS STILL VERY MUCH IN CHARGE. WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING BUT, BY FAITH, WE TRUST OUR GOD AND KNOW THAT 'HE' WILL DEFINITELY BRING HUMANITY THROUGH TO VICTORY.

The Four Horsemen (Poetry) - 3/26/2020 10:53:44 AM
Yes, one of the Four Horsemen, I believe it is Pestilence. Much more of a scorge in our past that in our present, in spite of the danger imposed by the possibility of death.
But history tells us that we have defeated most of the feared pestilences of the past to the point where they no longer harm us like they did when they ravaged Europe during the Middle Ages.
We will defeat this one and return to a wiser normal within a year or two. Many will die, but we all do, anyway.
Ron

As usual, a lovely poem. But I am perplexed about, "I wish I knew you." Perhaps it is just the thought that no two people are alike, even when they love one another. And sometimes, it would be best if we knew it the other was thinking. Maybe not.

You gotta stop having those walking dreams. No good will come of it! I wish people wouldn't think of wolves as bloodthirsty creatures. They have to hunt and cull the weak and the sick from from the herds that grow diseased and starving when they over populate.
But you have carried forth the myth of wolves being bloodthirsty and out to get little children. Hopefully the children will find out soon that their best friend, their dog, was a wolf before tamed and bred to be all the dog breeds we see.
But werewolves are scary and fun for Halloween.
