I dry my eyes from idle tears
While the daffodils bend under the crimson sky
And the winds whistle through a darken sky
While the moon gazes and winks as it passes by
The sparrow covers its newly hatched eggs
As the high cirrus clouds cry out, “You can’t Denie”
Life is brief
Love is long
Follow the signs
To where you belong

“Love is happiness
Love is life”
Thomas Henry Burrows
There once was a man who was dying
To be one with the universe he was relying
His body to decay
Was the only way
To unite with the elements, he was trying
There was a man who was dying
To be in heaven he was relying
His salvation assured
He thanked the Lord
An ascended without even trying
Which home are you going to choose?
At home with the universe
Or
At home with the Lord

“If you are living according to the flesh
You must die,
But if (you live) by the spirit you are putting to death
The deeds of the body
You will live.”
Romans 8:13
.
I picture your face
I reflect on your eyes
The sound of your laughter
I heard your sighs
I remember two straws in a coke
Our hands across the booth
I remember the jute box
Playing our favorite song
But times they do change
And so did you
It was not our job to control destiny
It was not our job to control fate
It was not our job to create luck
You drifted away
And it was too late
I was so wrong
To string you along
You were always there
willing to share
I took advantage of your love
I thought we were a pair
You would wait
and still be here
My timing was off
I opened the door
and you were gone
No whisper
No sound
Never to return
A lesson learned
Waiting for tomorrow
May only bring you sorrow
You made your choice
I had no voice
You were in control
Of my very soul
The decision was on you
Never given a chance to birth
Never knowing what life was worth
You took it away
Never a look never a glance
You took that chance
And walked away
Tell me about my childhood:
Did I ride a bike?
Did I watch cartoons?
Did I go to school?
Did I like baseball?
Did you attend to my care
when I would fall?
Tell me about my teens:
Did I have a girlfriend?
Did I do well in school?
Did I have plans for the future?
Did I have many friends?
Did I have a car?
Tell me about my adulthood:
Did I graduate college?
Did I have a successful job?
Did I meet the girl of my dreams
And get married?
Did you have any grandchildren
Of mine?
It’s ok mommy
You did what you thought
Was right at the time
I forgive you
May be again it may be
That you will hug me
And you will set yourself free

You are He who took me from my mother’s womb:
My praise is continually of You” Psalm 71:6

Forget to call
I can’t stay awake
Till the morning break
I’m not to blame
If I forget your name
I stop and stare
Going no where
I forget to trump
I cry for no reason
Any time in season
It’s not my creation
If I exhibit frustration
Walk very slow
With nowhere to go
Excuse my anger
I can’t control
No longer active
Always distracted
I have no more trials or temptations
The din of the world has lifted
No need for memories
Locked deep in my soul
Born to die
Born to rise
To meet my salvation in the sky

An empty jar
Full of love
Full of dreams
But nothing as it seems
An empty jar
Filled with time
Memories of love
Left behind
An empty jar
Filled with tears
Of a romance
Of promises
That disappeared
An empty jar
Full of conflicting thoughts
Moments unwind
Left behind
A broken jar
Beginning to crack
No time to stop
No turning back
A shattered jar
Scattered on the floor
Pieces of love
Never to be seen anymore
r
Travel the road
To the sign that says STOP
Consider your life
And all of the strife
Travel the road
To the sign that says U Turn
Make your choice
Listen to your inner voice
Travel the road
Follow the ONE-WAY sign
Continue on your way
Do not delay
Travel the road
To the sign that says YIELD
Your heart will mend
Your journey will end
Do not yield to temptation
No bend in the road
Follow his promises
Or you’ll reach a DEAD END

Sense sorrow
Need a friend
Taste loneliness
Need a touch
Can’t sleep
You weep
Need to share
Need a hug
feel forsaken
Call me
As soon as
Love awakens
Let your mind unwind
Let it spin
Awaken does dark emotions
That lie within
Those that never come to light
The ones you cannot explain
A deep sense of allusion
Creeping into your dreams
There is no conclusion
Just confusion
Dreams that turn into nightmares
Those demons inside
Dare to come to light
In the darkness of the night
Never aware when they appear
Shaking the night
Deep thoughts
Deep fears
Deep visions
Disguise themselves as nightmares
You find yourself locked in
Paralyzed
Falling
A fearful journey
As it unfolds
Suspended
Who is goin’ end it?
At last
A knock on the door
A smudge on the forehead
The resurrection of the dead
The reawakening of the saints
Arouses reality
What does it mean anyhow
If nightmares come true?
What does it mean for me and you?
