Swallowed By Pride
Often we speak of swallowing our pride;
as though it’s a form of food;
but, we’re speaking, of setting egos aside;
it’s much more about our mood.
Pride often has an unquenchable thirst;
nothing ever seems enough;
even the rich, quite often seem cursed;
A Useless Epitaph
Death has come; another life moves on;
useless prose; on a family’s behalf;
a countless lifetime, of memories, gone;
summarized by a useless epitaph.
How can we describe an entire lifetime;
in a few short words, or phrases;
all the memories, those words enshrine;
take, but
Thoughts On Reality
Consciousness is a bizarre form of being;
it doesn’t reside within the brain;
it’s a realm of thought; from the unseen;
it’s sort of reality’s window pane.
With it; our visions reach far and wide;

I Still Love You

does, yet, another; draw near?
Life isn’t an eternal, physical being;
but an energy that ebbs and flows;
a consciousness; from a realm, unseen;
God’s love, assuring; that it grows.
An Accomplished Man
If I had finished; all I’d begun;
I’d be an accomplished man;
faithful, until the setting sun;

I’d helped others; along the way;
tomorrow’d be at my command;
each day
Incomprehensible
This wondrous creation; referred to as life;
we’ve come to regard as indispensable;
where, man and woman are husband and wife;
it all has become incomprehensible.
It began, as a world of impossible dreams;
generated from the Master’s mind;
the ebb and flow of conflicting extremes;
