Compass of Our Destiny
On the road to your gypsy soul

in the vastness of my world

chasing heartbeats and fireflies

  across wooden covered bridges 

navigating deep and arid canyons

 beneath a sweltering summer sun.

I'll trace the compass of our destiny

 leading me to a foreign land

I'll find you roaming...

Premium Member My Heart Is A Compass
"My heart is a compass lost at sea finding its North in the gaze of thee."

This compass points directly at you  
whether your North East South or West 
Aligned to your magnetic pole 
I am being magnetized 

You are an orientation arrow 
my Polaris...

Broken Compass
What is left?

When your rights are simply wrong?
When my north is mostly south
and our shortcomings last too long?

When is up?

When my highs are lowered down?
When good blends into evil
and arc angels are not around?

Where are you?

When my what's fold into why's?
And the falsities of our...

Premium Member Trail Point, America's Compass
Hold and veer revolved career, the way by man alone on trails unknown, across
trackless stone, to follow where? across prairie’s bare! traveling light with bellies 
tight, on rocky shores its lore was sure, to follow, follow across crag across hollow
your roads were strung as songs...

"Dead Star Compass" 


When you’ve lost 
your entire world 
and there’s no return,
you either fold your cards
or join the Legion.

we fought 
on the front lines.

the Normals said 
we were on a suicide mission;
not so, more like we joined
to feel something, 
Human.

even 
if it was 
through

weary somber skies daub teary clouds outside my window
while in my heart dance rainbows to blissful cheery melodies

Premium Member A Moral Compass
the Lord
will not judge
you on how often you pray
or how
earnestly you pray

prayers are no more than words
they hold no meaning for God
He has no desire to be praised or worshiped
that was never your purpose
that's why He gave you free will

you're born with a soul
a moral...

Sail By God's Compass and Map
There once was a nation that was like a beautiful tall sailing ship
It’s mast were like redwood trees lined up in a forest
They bore the stainless white sails of opportunity to catch the winds of adventure and prosperity

This nation that was like a beautiful tall...

Sans Compass
Like a fish out of the water

you caught me by surprise

and

my mind a continual motion machine

perpetuates my nervousness

and endorphins

push through my veins like

an excitatory Water Park.

Initially when I began to speak to you it was  like going going down the waterslide with
the 50 foot...

Compass
Envelope life with firm arms,be for it pleasure
windings and uprisings take for measure
inevitables that are thrown down your path
sensibily minded doing the math
for you are that compass you do choose
north east south or west,upto you if you lose.

Love Without Measure
I love you beyond the borders of language,
where words stumble,
faltering in the shadow of feeling.
No map charts the expanse of this tenderness,
no compass finds its edge.

I love you as the ocean loves the shore,
returning endlessly,
even when it is sent away.
I love you as the sky...

	To each, a compass, would I give this day..,
to help guide through the treacherous waters of life.
For we humans, oft found wanting, do stray..!
bumping bows of other's, leave hearts torn in strife.

Wield well this gift, to find love and compassion..,
reach out your hand,...
