The Day
Do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day

About this poem:
some inspiration
It takes two to tango..
The ray of moonlight illuminated the silhouette of a duo
That danced beneath the darkened canopy filled with stars
A knowing deception lead to a stranger’s encounter from afar
You couldn’t begin to even distinguished beyond the tears
That had collected, been bottled throughout the years
The fears that came along with that alleviate, through
The lack of care that the king had shown, mistrust, and
A seed of deception from that had sown, the change
Of negativity had indeed grown, and the romantic ship
Soon had flown, it took a knight to emerge from the night
To sever the king’s patriotic will to flee, before the lady could see her destiny
That danced beneath the darkened canopy filled with stars

A seed of deception from that had sown, the change
Of negativity had indeed grown, and the romantic ship
Soon had flown, it took a knight to emerge from the night
To sever the king’s patriotic will to flee, before the lady could see her destiny

GOD'S SPECIAL ANGELS
February 2005
Could fireflies really be floating angels from high?
Sparkling like bangles as they fly in the sky
Only God’s special angels are allowed to come to earth
Giving us mortals a glimpse of heavens wondrous rebirth
It could be someone we all know and love
They watch over us from close above
On a warm summer night you will be able to see
Them down here floating and twinkling from tree to tree
Protecting and watching over their loved ones and friends
They will be with us until we all meet again
High above in that wondrous place
When we come to meet our loving Lord face to face
Could fireflies really be floating angels from high?
Sparkling like bangles as they fly in the sky
Only God’s special angels are allowed to come to earth
Giving us mortals a glimpse of heavens wondrous rebirth
It could be someone we all know and love
They watch over us from close above
On a warm summer night you will be able to see
Them down here floating and twinkling from tree to tree
Protecting and watching over their loved ones and friends
They will be with us until we all meet again
High above in that wondrous place
When we come to meet our loving Lord face to face

About this poem:
Exodus 164 Then the LORD said unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; ...
31 And the house of Israel called the name Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white ; and the taste of it was like wafers made ??with honey.
35 And the children of Israel did eat the Manna forty years, ...
~A Promise of Prose~
Where, did my fingers go
Seemed they left, some time
Some, long time a-go.
Keyboard was ready
My mind knew it too
The pillow a writer sits on
Is near empty ink too.
The world went invert
Yet most not alert
The times have changed
Only little ears heard
While the tall ones deny
Put reality aside.
Most stuck with their hand
Hand in hand, with their phone
Umbilical cord
Don't f*ck with my zone.
Common sense out the window
Them windows are filled
Into society, streets,
Laden ill.
A red light is green while a crosswalk's
a joke.
Was the vax and the jab
Worth the scabs on your knees.
Seemed they left, some time
Some, long time a-go.
Keyboard was ready
My mind knew it too
The pillow a writer sits on
Is near empty ink too.
The world went invert
Yet most not alert
The times have changed
Only little ears heard
While the tall ones deny
Put reality aside.
Most stuck with their hand
Hand in hand, with their phone
Umbilical cord
Don't f*ck with my zone.
Common sense out the window
Them windows are filled
Into society, streets,
Laden ill.
A red light is green while a crosswalk's
a joke.
Was the vax and the jab
Worth the scabs on your knees.

About this poem:
What a phoqued up world and way too many just sit back and say nothing. Then point fingers.
Your God
Your god
Not a man-made creation
That implies existence
Perhaps a man-made concept
What kind of God, what kind of God?
Show me one
Who possesses fire in his right hand
And lightning in his left
Where is your eternal God
And why am I so unworthy
To speak
Or hold communion with?
Did he create me in such complexity
To solve his infinite riddles
and discern
with my power of reason
the difference between Him
and millenial history?!
Why must I believe
In that which I cannot prove
If faith is so important
Then why so many faiths?
Where were we meant to draw the line?
"I do not believe"
Is such a complex thing, itself
In the Christian God?
In the Jewish God?
In the Muslim God?
Your pick
The One Single God
As if they could be the same
Should one exist
If somehow only one
If somehow it could be proven
Just one, none more
But who could really say?
On the premise of faith
You take your pick
And somehow discredit
One, against the other
'In Yahweh, I have found faith..'
But not in Allah, I wonder why?
How do you determine your faith
To One God, against the Many God's Lie?
I marvel at your dedication
I am confounded by your complicity
I cringe at the thought
That your Universal God
Might accept your blind faith
And somehow not me
Here in my dark and painful reality
I am injured and wanting and free
To chose faith and complacence
To any God that I might
But none have presented
And even I should resent it
This 'Devil' that so well
you have known-
Yet now he doesn't chase me
Not a man-made creation
That implies existence
Perhaps a man-made concept
What kind of God, what kind of God?
Show me one
Who possesses fire in his right hand
And lightning in his left
Where is your eternal God
And why am I so unworthy
To speak
Or hold communion with?
Did he create me in such complexity
To solve his infinite riddles
and discern
with my power of reason
the difference between Him
and millenial history?!

About this poem:
I spent a good portion of my life believing what I was told to believe.Someone help me find the truth?
I will believe in the God who speaks with me.
I will not hold court with riddles and history.
If I am to believe in a God, it will be the Living God.
It will be one concerned with my existence.
It will not be an ancient sovereign who is beyond my reach.
It will be He who Cares and Touches my Soul,
Not the cold and isolated, distant Father of the sinful Church.
I AM WORTH KNOWING-
SHARE YOURSELF WITH ME.
Mama's all knowin'
Pure heart mechanical blues
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky
There's shoe-shine folklore
and western desert chords
struck in 4:4
I tell you this
when the dice roll
Mama's all knowin'
trumpet blowin'
good as a circus phenomenon
Pure heart mechanical blues
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky
There's shoe-shine folklore
and western desert chords
struck in 4:4
I tell you this
when the dice roll
Mama's all knowin'
trumpet blowin'
good as a circus phenomenon
Pure heart mechanical blues
there's a sax playing on the ridge

About this poem:
A few lines came to meFeeling Free
Listen to the wind as it blows
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free
