Redeemed
Rest in the moments poured out with the rain,
silent stories, meant to reveal God’s truth…
Every ache, each sorrow, throughout the worst pain,
there is a gentle knowing that love is the way…
Rest in the news that God has come to save us from sin,
know He’ll never forsake those He forgives…
Every dark moment, despite the shadows, He...

Emily,It made me so sad
when you told me
that you cut your
wrists.
And it was made so much
worse when
you rolled your sleeves
down and showed me
both of them.
"Sorry to change the
subject, but I have
to ask: what do
you want to be
when you grow up?"
"Once I’m out of
this place," you gesticulate
around the hollow halls
of the hospital.
"Once I’m out...

Finding Poetry’s VoiceI used to think poems lived in leather-bound books,
guarded by professors with stern looks,
that words worth speaking needed permission,
academic citations, scholarly submission.
I sat in corners swallowing syllables,
choking on metaphors I couldn't pronounce,
wondering why my tongue tied itself in knots
while others spoke verses smooth as river stones.
The first time I wrote something real,
my hands shook like...

Plagued by memoriesSitting in a rocking chair trying to recall the passing years
clutching a bible, he sits by the phone
for a voice to remind him he is not all alone
He can't help but wonder where the years have all gone
and questions his purpose as life carries on
He thinks of his family with great admiration
the laughter and love...

Nothing Is PermanentPoem:
Nothing is permanent — not even the day,
Not youth, not time, that slips away.
The spirit dims, the fire can fade,
Even the brightest light can shade.
Good times end, and bad ones, too,
What seems so certain won't stay true.
Status falls, and pride may bend,
Dignity meets a timely end.
Loss and gain both come and go,
Like tides that shift,...

LivingWe live in time,
We coexist with the unseen,
Or rather, the unseen coexists with us,
We are on a journey guided by our souls.
Time nurtures us.
We blossom, and at times we struggle with our existence.
We incorporate the grafted pieces,
Shielding the light of our souls. ...

Have you seen my wife?
I mean these floral petals,
wrapped in her aura.
Like sun-kissed morning breeze,
Soothing ones mind, to it's gist.
On my wrist, time flies like snow loosing its purity to African temperature.
It's her I'm struggling to grasp, perfectly perfected in her imperfection.
Voluptuously, sculptured check.
Heaven must have exhausted its resource.
Caramel, touched check.
That no...

Where have all the good people goneWhere have all the good people gone
Sone have fought in the war
And they are veterans
We already thanked them
For have given our freedom
We stand on guard for you Canada
The other people had walked away
From God's life
That is very sad to know
Yes God had died for my sins
In the cross
And it was God that had made me

Stellar ResilienceIn the vast expanse of life's dark space,
Be patient, tough, like stars that grace
The endless night with steady light—
Guiding you through the hardest fight.
This pain, a comet's fiery trail,
Will blaze a path where dreams prevail.
For one day, through the cosmic storm,
Your strength will shine, your heart transform....

Delicous SoupEverything one says,
everything one writes
is a declaration of who
one is. I put as much
effort into my comments
as I do into my poetry --
they also transverse the
electron world. Missed
opportunity – Main-course
or a quick warmer-upper,
Soup is precious to my
table of wholesome Etiquette
and expression.

Midnight ChromeIn the hush of dusk when streetlights flicker alive,
obsidian sheet metal catching dying light,
A black Chevy Impala – Detroit steel poetry in motion.
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore,
All angles and attitude, chrome catching moonlight like silver promises.
This ain’t just transportation – this is transformation.
V8 heartbeat rumbling beneath the hood,
Speaking in tongues of combustion and...
