Time

Today, though important, is just one day;
whatever it’s outcome, tomorrow will come;
yesterday’s failures, again come my way;
and, again, to temptation, I’ll succumb.

How can I continue to live in yesterday;
even though I know that it’s gone;
or think of tomorrow, instead of

And He Barked

I was lying across my bed, sleeping,
sunlight streaming into my room;
something caused me to start weeping;
a strange sound diminished my gloom.

Clearly, came the sound of a barking dog;
it was emanating from outside;
though I understand, my mind was a fog;
my memory of truth did

After The Party's Over

After this party called life is over;
where does this consciousness go?
Is it destined to be under the clover;
or, scattered across new fallen snow?

The body, like your hair that was cut;
is of no more use to you;
and, if someone scoops your body up;

A Broken Mirror

I awakened completely; feeling alive;
being youthful down to the bone.
Later, I questioned, “Would I survive;

formed in the Aura’s womb;
healing: the tears’ obligation;
their blossoms coming in bloom.

washed out with the wave of tears;
designed to do; what tears ought;
washing away reality’s fears.

Sadness and sorrow caused their birth;

Lifetime Debtor

I looked all around and considered;
all of the things money can bring;
the furniture that had been delivered;
but money can’t buy everything.

Once I had bought it; I owned it;
that much was apparent to me;
its not as though I’ve condoned it;
but nothing in

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.
