Solitude Found

When a winter’s harsh voice subsides
rainbows crown fields and riversides
as the water feeds the earth to show
how nature’s seed of peace will grow.

Here a new garden by the river blows
as springtime in all its glory shows,
sweet blossoms blushing upon the clay
preparing for a Summer’s harvest day.

Songbirds descend upon my secret place
as peace of mind adorns my happy face,
and as I rest upon the fertile ground
‘tis solitude here, at last, I’ve found!

Give me some rain to
wash away my pain,
give me some dope
because i have no hope,
give me some drinks so
i don't have to think,
give me enough drugs
that i would think i could
fly than i'd die.

Much of life is filled with tasks as we begin each day,

But much of life is wonderful if we can think that way.



Let us look at all the people from every walk of life,

They are no different in their stress and strife.



Wouldn't it be great to embrace each human life,

Instead of waging war and slice them with a knife.



Let us look at others as we would want them to stop and see,

That we as people are human and happy to be free.



So as you wake each and every day just smile at someone new,

Make them feel wanted they'll smile right back at you.



There are no guarantees and life may not be fair,

But we must keep our faith and keep our Lord so very near.



Next time you see someone in need of help or care,

Don't just turn away in hopelessness or fear.



Humility is simple just keep it in your heart,

Then you 'll realize you had it from the start.

Love is the greatest gift of God to every mankind. We need to love and to beloved.

Remember me though I'm far away, and even if it is bounded by hills, mountains and even oceans, especially when you are at the height of your happiness.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can done without hope and confidence.

I was a kid when I turned on the television.
Seen sparklies, songs, and was amazed with a dancing decision.
Use to sing along, and wear that red jacket.
Use to try to get my mom to buy me the glove, instead I got a magnet.
Stuck it to the fridge, and as time grew.
So did I, but I just knew.
Some day I was going to forget all the positive stuff.
Some day I was going to think to myself, I've had enough.
Those days came and gone.
Till one day you sang one certain song.
Today I watched the passing of a great entertainer.
Today I lived the blessing of a great person of human nature.

There will always be people that are selfish.
There will always be people that are devilish.
There are people who can't find a positive thing to say.
There are people who would rather provide hate to each day.

But there even more that you have inspired.
There are many that will remember you, an your history will be desired.
You came out with many ways to help people.
Even though some have lost track of this, an now they tingle.
Tingling from watching a life that is not lost.
But from remembering a life that now energizes you like NOS.

Sure I can say I forgot how to look at myself in the mirrior.
Sure I can admit sometimes that brings fear.
But as you stated in one particular song that inspired me to change.
That song will always be embedded in my brain.
Many others probally have their favorite songs, or memories as well.
Today is the day that the heavens fell.
To provide you steps for a easy moon walk.
For myself learned a long time ago, and this is more then just a talk.

My birthday was today, but today I watched something on TV.
I watched your ceramony on channel 23.
Today a human was not lost.
But today great music was lost at a great cost.
From the Jackson Five, to a solo artist.
Thank you MJ for allowing us to be a part of this.
A part of the memories, the songs, the tribute.
Thankyou for sharing your life with us from the debute.

dear lord i'll take that sword always ready to fight the hoard you know me and know i've always believed those first dreams when i was young knowing your work is never done im here to serve to do your work helping people is your good work i'll never forget are first day thank you jesus for letting me pray

The Voice

The crooning on the wireless came when I was a child
then forever in my heart the voice was tenderly filed.
As my youth grew, a need for the voice grew with me
caressing my soul where only devotion could ever be.

When first I fell in love the voice gave love a grace
escorting us in melody to our secret honeymoon place.
It echoed my great joy when news of a new birth came
then shared in the process in finding our girl a name.

My child spent her teething with the voice in her ear,
and as Winter’s eerie wind blew took away her fear.
It numbed my pain on parting when nobody could win
reminding me, if a family splits, there’s no greater sin!

The voice slowed my blood as my heart oozed with ache
stitching together the cracks, lest they snap and break.
It brought me back to sanity when true love was found,
confirming it would be better, the second time around!

Today it doesn’t matter what I’m feeling deep inside
the crooning will be there, to help my blues subside.
Though the legend never dies no life has any choice,
the body for the voice is dead, long live the voice!

The Poet Writer

The poet writer tries to tell his truth to mankind
though not from thought yet from his haunting mind.
Not in the prose of a story, but remaining within a tale
that turned an inner dream into a deadly inward gale.
Fed by devils and demons with madness as their goal
his imagination leading to a deep sigh within his soul.
Lurking on every page this lost genius that I now know
this dreamer within a dream, this poet Edgar Allen Poe!
