FreedomThere are things I know that you will never be sure about. My life was easy, you have gone through more than me but I understand the world just the same. Every path I take I take with uncertainty and conditional faith, every path I avoid I avoid with thought and assuredness.

Eyes
Bright orbs that shimmer, secrets yet untold,
They pierce the dark and trace the fading light.
Through love and loss, their silent stories hold,
A world within each gaze—so soft, so bright.
They search the hearts once open, now concealed,
Reflecting dreams that linger, lost in fire.
Some truths they guard, while others are revealed,
Mirrors of passion, sorrow, and desire.
They cast...

Glorious LoveGlorious Love
Time has shewn his face, but free
A date the waiting soul to be.
Upon thy bed he lay barbed to the sky
She wonders if it's time to say goodbye.
His finger folds a curl on her hand
It's if as though both two should understand.
One last look his eyes bid to a view
Her loving face...

Oh my Soul SpeakAs the rain hit aganist my window pane
Decided to write one of my pure thought of myself
What passed into and across across my mind !
Where to find oneself one love inside oneself to one.
one flesh to speak the whispered voice of Godly Love.
My soul and what would...

While The Sky Still BurnsDrink deep the wine of the waking sun—
Its golden breath spills over trembling hills,
And morning, that fragile and flaring drum,
Beats wild against time’s shrinking quills.
The hour is ripe with unsung fire,
A tapestry woven from wind and flame.
Step out — no fear, no false desire —
The world does not wait, nor call your name.
The robin’s hymn...

From where I sitFrom where I sit.
The dark gray clouds,
producing the rain,
that continues to tap,
against the window pain.
The absence of blue,
in the sky above,
brings dreary thoughts,
a life without love.
If God in his heaven,
could answer one prayer,
and send me relief,
lift darkness and despair.
It’s not a perfect woman,
my heart truely seeks,
but loving and warm,
true heart that...

Flow of Light, Glistening Bright
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
I walk past the sorrows
breaking through my silent plans –
plans my heart borrows
from the song flowing through my hands…
song of light, a seeker, believer
resting...

Sweet Blessings
The moon and stars surely wept
as night fell and my kindness slept,
breathing out a prayer of hope
to get through the storms, just cope
walking on the night, a shadow
lonely and lost, oh how I owe
my heart and my soul, all that I am
to this Savior who became a lamb
slaughtered by those He died for
making a way...

Why does the sun sympathizeWhy does the sun sympathize with the man in the black shirt who is delirious with success?
That looking at the window is the door to all happiness
For him, an effective way to achieve this is with a pair of shoes
And put the gold in his shirt pocket
The sun was at my toes as...

You are groundedYou are grounded
Here on holy ground
The leaves of the trees
Are floating in the water
Because there are trees
Near the lake that my Father
Made with his holy hands
Many years ago
And also the birds are now resting on the trees
Branch
I spend the morning here on the lake
First thing in the morning
And there are nobody else
At this time of...

In Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial DayDuty calls from valleys deep and wide,
Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide.
Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain,
Rain of trials met with a calm refrain.
Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky,
Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly.
Fly with honor carved in steel and soul,
Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role.
Role...
