I don't like the numbness in my brain
I don't like the poverty in my name
Destiny was never here
And I could never tell where

No vibe to guide no wave to ride
No choice but to collide with pain
And the sound that's mine to cry
It always sounded the same

From a poor boy to a poor man
In a poor land where the wind carried me like the sand
And between a rock a hard place is where I got caught
With no luck and nothing to add up pull on the reins and call it naught

After plowing ground I can turn around and see that very little grew
And the only change my hair is less my hair is gray my chances left are few
So write it down write it right write it wrong write a song
Just another dream another chance to sing another day has come and gone

I have thought long, and hard;-

And the most lovable things; in this world;-

Are horses, women, and dogs.

take it as it comes
welcome happenstance
maybe you and I don't fit
normal notion circumstance

try to think outside the box
of forever a "next day"
perhaps then, we two can share
a happy life "come what may"

throw away the schedule
of the things you want to do
ride a wave of spontaneity
each moment will be new

get caught up in the tide
there are no lessons how
it only takes imagination
to be aswim in the now

if you choose to follow down
the road that I am on
never will be turning back
from now on, we'll be gone

when you've come to realize
just as I did, long ago
I'll see the answer in your eyes
it's off to our world we go

so, let me take you by the hand
we'll dance along a golden sand
of our eternal wonderland
without a single second planned

life will be a big surprise
we'll never set a goal
with every breaking sunrise
it's all beyond control

well....how 'bout it lady?
wanna take a ride?

“He who does not love does not know God,
for God is love” (1Jn 4:8).
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
....For I am persuaded that neither death nor life..., shall
be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord” (Rom 8:35-39).



Dear God,


You are my God and Father and I love you because you first, and always have, loved me.
I am not even sure that what I ‘feel’ for you is truly “LOVE”
(the way that love is supposed to be),
but I know that
YOU are LOVE
and all things good. It is because you love me
that you are kind, gracious, merciful, longsuffering and forgiving towards me.
There is no other like you.
You created me, sent Jesus to die for me, and gave me your Holy Spirit to live inside of me.
There is no doubt in my mind (even when you chastise me for my foolish ways), there is no doubt that
YOU LOVE ME.


Thank you Father.

SHAME

Hello you world leaders
Do you hear the knocking, yelling
and screaming from under ground
Shouting nay begging for your help

Little did they know, all on deaf ears,
their fears much worse than yours
in your shiny suits,
just counting the dead.

You are as bad as the bombers leader
who like a little boy sneer,s
Like a greedy boy, who takes what he wants
Whilst you sit and COUNT

Will shame ever catch up with you
In the future years when a land
is flat and has no young
All under tyrannical rule

Which make no bones
will turn on you
IN THE END

In my mind's eye, when I looked
at what should have been our "holding hands" ...
I saw that yours had silently released its hold ,
like mute falling pearls let go
from its strand of gold ...
Loved you too truly to make any demands ...
And understood you genuinely
to realize the why
that my heart understands ...

You told me,
maybe I should let you go ...
That maybe,
I should find somebody else to know ...
That after all, you're still too broken
to give committed affection with no reserve ...
Can't therefore love me the way I deserve ...

You have been the most I've connected with, though ..
Fit nearest perfect
intellectually, emotionally, and physically ...
As I look back tearfully ... sadly ...
Deep in me, I do know
it is something we can keep together
only if we work at it with one another ...

So eventually , I just as quietly set you free ...
If you ever come back when already you're mended.
that's entirely up to you ... not anymore me ...
And now, like a book in the midst of writing ,
I take my pause and lay it aside ...
Explore once more the experience of living ,
notwithstanding the challenges with which it is rife ,
To go out into the expanse and breathe in Life,
with all its joys and promise of all possible good ...
I look forward and onward to my just due...
As for love, I hope it will encompass that too ...

split like smoke
and orange peel
confessions to Mary
river delta woman
chained x chained
celluloid reels
blue field lines
victory under flag

No more black or white chessmen
On the chessboard
All is colored in red .
The life became a bad game;
You realize the gain
Is that you are still alive
Passers-by run through the puddles,
My beloved time of the year .
And I'm standing with a poster – NO WAR
On the square
Among the spring

peace be with you
as you pass me by
I try to look away
for if, I would glance
a single look in your eyes
even as my mind opposes
I'd fall down on my knees
and ask you to stay
for just one day
because, it's all what it takes
to let you know
the gratefulness
living inside my heart
of all you've done

you realize
I've changed
back to who I was
humble, but most of all
mindful and thankful
one more time
on this last chance

it's you who laid down
this path I now walk on
a strong and solid ground
and I'm blessed
and so with tears of joys
falling off my eyes
please know
I'm forever grateful


so go on, pass by
all I want is a smile
just a glance
and you'd know
my heart sings
peace be with you
always..
for I never left.

So, we are here today, where were we yesterday? Before we were born where were we? Cultivated in our mothers tummy!,,, So, where were we before the "act" we cant remember thats a fact, and where will we be when we cant see, back to the start? Hear the beat of our mothers heart? Then start again, a new creation? (lets hope we build a better nation)
