I do not fear the raging
sea with its thunderous
crash of waves..
My mind stays in perfect
peace throughout my alloted
days~
I flee not from the face of
man for fear brings a snake
In boldness do I stand my
ground where others would
surely quake~
At the voice of thunder I
do not hide, nor can lighting
change this heart inside~
And fear with all its thousand
faces I unmask through heavenly
graces~
Surely death would make me swallow
my spit as it taunts me from its
morbid pit~
And corpses chant dirges that I
might lose my faith
But my spirit is lifted to a
higher place~
Yes, in this world of woe I might
stumble and fall
But through the love of God I
conquer all~

I dreamed I was dying last night,
Making will for my son by my side.
I was seeing as whole what were once
Just some trivial sights for my eyes.
Little bird with its wings my brow fanned,
Sun set down behind hills to have rest,
Neither pain did I feel of some kind,
Neither vision or mist covered eyes,
Neither sleepiness weighed down my head,
Neither sorry was I for my self.
But I felt I could cry outloud:
- Wait, oh day, cut not short, please, my life!
And I worried: they mourned my demise,
Boy, I thought, what a shame, do not die!
Thus in deference such and distrust
Was supposed I to take leave of life.
While I watched people standing in rows
How I wished to get right to their thoughts!
Saw that friends same as foes thought me high,
Grown up men and a child wept alike…
As I dreamed I was dying last night
Death crept up to my bed, woke me up.

Distracted by my thoughts
Your presence did engage
The ease of your words
As if starting a new page
A tall black man
In your twilight years
Proud of your family
No scars from your fears
Boats and the railways
Absorbed your life
Fifty years of marriage
With your beautiful wife
Recently laid to rest
With a tomb of your design
It was always your say
You are the leader of your kind
In your footsteps they follow
Rugby league in their veins
Success in their journey
Success is their gain
''Twas a lovely encounter
And took me by surprise
There was love In his life
There was love in his eyes...........

Walking down my road one day I see a little tree,
It seems so lost and alone, it reminds me of… me,
Not really having a place in this world, not knowing what to do,
But sure to grow up big and strong, this I know is true,
Feeling small and in the way of everyone around us,
Seeming like a pesky insignificant piece of dust,
Finally growing up into a beautiful adult,
Realizing that everything that happens is not always our fault,
Knowing that no matter what we have a place on this earth,
If we didn’t why would god have made us from his hearth?
Apparently we have a reason for being created,
But right now we’ll just have to wait and try to not feel jaded,
None of us can tell the future and find out what’s to be,
We can’t unlock the door to it with a little key,
That little tree reminded me of who and what I am,
That every thing on this earth has its life planned.

hawk on a wire
teeters; while below
chatter continues

The past,
the future,
the here and now.

We travel from one
to another in
a blink of an eye.

Maybe through sorrows,
past lovers,
or even horrors.

We glance at the future
with longing
in the eyes.

We can rest assured
the future awaits
to start up anew.

Like red drops of fire
this pain and suffering/
Sorrow upon sorrow measured
to me with the passing of
every sun/
Yet who would know courage
without fear/
Peace without chaos/
Character without persistance/
Old age without youth/
Love without hate/
Behold!
Soul-maker~

If you are lucky enough to find true love,
that doesn't come around that of often ...hold it tight

Cherish what you have, be honest, be open,
always try to do what is right

Life is far too short to fuss over things that don't matter,
or to fight

And if all else fails....
carry on regardless with all your might

Poet friends dance in
the palm of my hand..
Their heart songs drip
like star honey and it
is the season for
gathering..
I summon the March winds
to blow their bottled tears
to the master of the sea..
There is nothing left..
but love~

I'm here somewhere in
the vastness of space
Just a heart crying out
from a lonely place
Other voices I hear in
my moment of time
Other hearts speak out
and touch with mine
Only darkness separates us
from some glorious sight
Perhaps heart over matter
will bring us the light~
