Arbitrary

Principles and reason have gone with the wind;
seems, they no longer exist;
personal opinions and mere whims descend;
while, goodbye to logic, is kissed.

They say, when older, we get more contrary;
and forgiveness, no longer lasts;
we’d much rather suffer a coronary;
than forget the wrongs of

From Infinity To Infancy

I didn’t start out life as a baby;
instead, I was energy’s intrusion;
not a matter of perhaps or maybe;
possessed of the Master’s infusion.

My origin was one of divine energy;
transformed, and become a seed;
converted by God’s omniscient synergy;
for love, was the

Memory Of One

I saw a familiar face yesterday;
one which I knew I’d seen before;
I don’t know if I’ll see it today;
but, I know I’ll see it once more.

The Rebirth Of Yesterday

I spent most of today in yesterday;
its thoughts came in as a storm;
