I come from everywhere
and vanish nowhere.
For each whom doth upon “me” gaze
sees only their reflection.
Knowing Self as
essence of both Grail
and that which fills it,
I am free
and yet trapped
within this realm:
A traveler, marooned
until I rend again the veils
that only seem to strand
and only appear to stand:
Scant barriers
“you” pretend to use
to keep your “self” apart
from all of which you are a part
and The One who loves you
Perfectly.

I am, but you are not
If you are, then I am not
If something exists then it is one
If there are two then it is nothing
By mixing one color into another
colorless does not become colorful
Success is not obtained with sayings or deeds
I am not ashamed, he is not smiling at me.
Of all humans of this world
myself is not as your favorite one

For it seems such a simple thing
to break bread as you have done
numerous times before.
Does everyone looking on know
what it means.
For God sent His son.
He died on the cross so we may be free.
Then we can live with God in eternity.
When we become a christian we are
part of God's family.
God will welcome us home in heaven
above where we will spend eternity.
How great that day will be.

Look all around you
what do you see
a world that was beautiful
Look closer, draw near
look from above
see the gnashes
There are great bare patches
de-void of their trees
just dust bowls
The angel watches
and her tears fall
like rain
As each lands
it heals the land
new growth appears
Soon a host of angels
each one weeping
their tears restoring all

The name perplexed me—cotton Easter—
For the plant did not bear red as the stain of blood,
Heralded not suffering in foliage luscious,
Hinted not at resurrection in drooping limbs.
Cotton Easter lays softly on the mind,
Peaceful and blissfully supine,
Without crosses and nails and moral shims,
That seek to align, demean and shame us,
Or drown our spirits with vengeful flood.
Eisegesis of true paradise in simple misreading: cotoneaster.

I was asked by a man sitting at the bus stop
If you could have one power, what would it be?
I replied I wish that I could make all of time stop
That way everything would stay as I see.
I can feel the earth start to tremble
And the waves are crushing the shore
I was told that our soul is just a thimble
It only protects us from our core.
So... follow me down to the place where things stay still
And where people have no will
The world is still beautiful
If only I were in control.
I would save everything as it is...
We could stay like this...
Frozen in time, forever.

I watched the gulls out over the sea
The reflection of the sun blinding me
The breeze blowing through everything that could move
If this day ever ends, it'll still be too soon
I'm holding on to dreams and false beliefs
I've got hope
I'll do as I please and not care what you think of me
But you know-
Everything's spinning and turning, jumping and flying
We're running and dodging everything in our way
And your smile still gleams so brightly,
As we realize all this time-
We we're going the wrong way.

I am so scared of letting
my talent out to be free
and exist in reality.
What if it is not to be
how can i handle that?
How can i deal with the
negative?
How can i let my talent
exist standing next to me?
Taking on a life of it's own.
How can i see past what is
in front of me and just
go for my dream.
Just go for what should be
my reality.
A writer that is in me.
Sitting here in front of
thee show me how to let
the fear pass and let my
dream last.

Sleep my dear Cecil ,
Less i disturb your rest,
Let the demons forget,
Tormenting your poor head.
Hear my soothing voice,
Bring dreams that's nice,
Relax your five senses,
Unwind your antennas,
watching eyes of yours,
please go to sleep,
i knew you not here,
from deep in my dream.
angels watch over you,
saving you i believe,
waiting for you tonight,
close eyes and slumber.
Sssh hush now

The whisper
the chatter
all around as the worship
continues if on this ground.
The friendship develop from
soul to soul as God helps
you reach His goal.
I listen quietly waiting
to see what new things the
Lord wants to teach me.
The noise becomes louder
until i can listen and just
be present here with God.
He pulls us closer then
a friend
a brother
a sister
until the end.
God will bond those that
need to be.
He will set you with your
christian family until
E T E R N I T Y.
