Dead Day
There are momentsWhen you break-Like a vaseA shelf forsakes…Still the shatterDespite being strong-All in resistanceOf what is going wrong…And you begFor hurt to be seen-And hopeOf what someday will bring…And there is a planSo much bigger than yours-And that knowledgeDoesn’t change what’s ignored…Because you are humanDespite any goal-And in some casesLife is just a toll…So…

The Line
To mournBefore a death-Is met with forgivenessAnd a debt… For no sorrowCould be planned-Like betrayingWith Hatred’s hand… And still it wasA sight before-Like the RavenThis was never-more. My heart hurtsBut my eyes are dry-Because of storiesBuilt by lies. While this loveWill forever live-I have nothing elseTo you to give. You’ve made a choiceAnd in kind…

Seek
It’s just never the right timeOr dayBut weakAnd so the stones layOneBy oneYou’ll hideI seek.

Free
I would like to believeAnd so I do-In what moves lifeAlong with us too…Little things remindOf why we are here-How to work togetherOr live without fear.Yes the televisionAnd media change time-So few see the consequenceAnd what’s on the line.Beliefs are fadingIn the rapture of noise-Bowing to pressureOr someone else’s voice.And I prayThat you again believe-For…

Or Life
No pathOr stoneReally knowsThe unknown No riverOr streamKnows the skyOr dream No lifeOr deathLives in secretOr breath No oneCould believeReplacing YouOr Me But so it isAnd He seesBeyond todayAnd me.

Enemy
Darwin saidOnly the strong will survive-But if I am not strong,Nor Weak-What am I?But the middleman…Still crushing the weak-Only to be extinguished?Survivals problem-Is the Who-Who could be helped,Or stop the inevitable.Yes Prosperity-On the backs of the weak,To build a new strength,Pushing an unknown,In the ignorance of history-Erasing what you could have known…So the enemy survives.

Your Nothing
This is where you goTo give upNo matter the criesOr screamsYou go anywayTo nothingAnd behindIs timeAnd everythingEngulfed in your suffering

Life’s Challenge
The bits of the day lay waste to disaster-may the devils not hear us now. We tip the toe, and grimace at the leaf, as even autumn sparks a challenge. A change in direction for hoped protection, or least delay the inevitable… For no knowledge or effort can change a path, thus mysteries strengthen… For…

Need
I found a shoelaceMissing a purpose-And a mouseWho didn’t respond to cheese-Thus explaining a clockWhose minutes have no need.

Forever forgotten
Light of day never faltersOr hangs in the balanceOf hatred or romanceBut what was…And the slip of the decayIs of consequenceNot of usBut what may.So to marchAnd live onLike the poetUntil it’s gone.

Normalcy
It’s not real But desired.

Tired
For being lostWho is to know?With so many forksWhere to go?And with every stepTiredness creepsBeyond the breathFaded heart beats.And the breakIn only thingsNot in forgivenessOr human beings.Just so tiredWith no way to sleepSo begs one more tearFor the Lord to keep.

Look UP!
Restoring harmony is not without waves…

The Game
I think love has purpose even if it’s pain. After all what else gives you so much to lose- with unbidden right to complain? Each year it’s recognized- a little more youth is lost And you add up the experience – while grimacing at the cost The bends of the mind only squeeze the heart……

Dear Life, Thank you!
Where we’re going.. And you were gone-

New Life
The soil turns and dies As old finds new life Through worm’s work and time Or happiness and strife.

Truth
Rain from a dry storm Fall like bits of honesty And regret Like a bath… And you fill the beginning Or the end Of Remembrance And wrath
-
Ladies!-!
Talk me up Give me life Dull the blade Mend the strife.. Heal the burn Calm the rage Be the water- And clench the blaze… Be a rock Not the thorn Be the calm- Inside the storm… Feel the love Block the hate Be a partner- It’s not too late!

Break
Yes! And that

Days and Time
Oh time you stump me-

Challenge
Life is a challenge And mistakes make it real Love is for life While moments are a steal… Chances are fleeting Occasionally a bit of luck And even when you are moving It feels like being stuck… So you take a chance Or maybe even a fall… Challenge everything Or on one roll bet it…

We Seek
We seek freedom and power Before age or beauty Concept or brain… Control of an empire Without fruitful desire Or judgement by trial… We seek knowledge before wisdom Love without return Journey absent destination… Inevitably the teaching After error and pain Humbled glory in vain… We then seek to turn And believe beyond ourselves Honoring…

New Year 2019
Christmas is over And the year almost too What will the New Year Bring different for you? What will you keep doing What will you change? Is there something to keep Or more to exchange? Will you find hope Or keep it high Will you forgive the past And give the future a try? With…

Life
The whisper of knowledge is profound Whether in our bodies Or on the ground. The sound of silence is loud and plain Whether ignoring another Or enjoying the rain. The presence of sleep is noise Whether in the plants Or that death employs. The sound of peace is foreign Whether in the news Or deep…

Twenty Years
Kenny Rogers – Twenty years ago Twenty years ago I was twenty And as clueless as can be… My parents were both healthy As they shook their heads at me. Twenty years later I am forty And my parents more of a mess I still have lots to learn My survival still a guess. Twenty…

REMEMBER
Just like yesterday I remember anew I remember where I was And what I thought too. I remember the shock And pain inside Yet still not comprehending How many would die. I remember the strength And the church down the street I remember the love Among strangers who’d meet. I remember this now Like I…
