Hello & Welcome to

Let Me Be Led

There is that road less traveled;
with weeds and thistle overhead;
where that growth is unraveled;
Oh Lord; please let me be led.

I cannot tell where it’s leading;
much like a jungle of the mind;
and yet, it almost seems pleading;
that I see its completion defined.

I

Lord, Help Me

Lord, help me to be a blessing;
to each one I meet, today;
their souls, my energy caressing;
may your light show them a way.

Don’t allow my temper to weaken;
no one deserves my rebuff;
permit all my love to deepen;
for each one has burden enough;

Grant

Alive

How does it feel to be empty;
no longer carrying a load?
It really doesn’t tempt me;
it makes me want to explode.

It’s a sign of a lack of purpose;
no longer having a reason;
it might seem alright on the surface;
but only for a short

Autumn Leaves

Some think that life’s a competition;
to separate good, better and best;
but life is truly a war of attrition;
dividing those who learn from the rest.

Life isn’t about whether we win or lose;
it’s far more complex than that.
Life is determined by the road

Attitude

Life is determined by the road

A Seed Of Love

Many attempt, their love to define;
with sweet scents and musical notes;
others use dinners followed by wine;
and most cleverly devised quotes.

Most, unaware how love is planted;
a seed, sown deep in the mind;
or how it can grow and is granted;
by such things, love is defined.

And The Pendulum Swings

Making sense of what life is about;
gravity, to circumstance, brings;
waves; coming in; then flowing out;
and reality’s pendulum swings.

We think we can stem reality’s flow;
can change it’s directions, too.
Waves flow; then there’s no place to go;
they have to return to

Scars

My surgery left an ugly souvenier;
at least that’s what I thought;
but, instead it was a message; unclear;
of a lesson my soul has been taught.

We must escape this illusion we hold;
even though we know it will die;
to solve the mystery we must be bold;
