The World Turns

The World Turns

The world turns; as actors engage;
carefully reporting the time;
actors all weary, entering the stage;
it’s the universal clock, sublime.

The Thunderstorm

The Thunderstorm

The forcast was made; we all were prepared;
dark clouds began rolling this way;
the winds carrying dust, made vision impared;
as the thunderstorm blackened the day.

The winds gathered up much dirt and debris;
as the raindrops peppered the window pane;
though now, over land; it began

The Stage Is Empty

The Stage Is Empty

The stage is empty; the actors are gone;

We could stare at the hands and feet;
but they pretty much look the same;
it’s

The Relevancy Of Faith

The Relevancy Of Faith

it’s the

The Joke Is On Me

The Joke Is On Me

When I was young, I was among believers;
I sought God to come into my life;
a world, around me; filled with deceivers;
a kingdom divided, by hate, and strife.

I felt the tug, that came from the Master;
there was something special I was
