A Poem ... I Was Lost

I Was Lost

Silent sentinels of amber light
Line the streets of darkest night

Deathly still and ramrod straight
Show the path to heaven's gate

Huddled masses move in sync
Along the abyss before the brink

Slippery long is that slope
Depths of pain without a hope

Winds gust and slumber call
Easier to stop, stay and fall
 
Sirens of an almighty deep
Call the living from their sleep

Awake, Rise, find the way
The goal is clear you've gone astray

Memories of a better life
Guide the weary through the strife

Gates open; wide and bright
Laughter, tears fill the night

I was lost,  you called for me
Home at last and ever free

A Poem ... My Only Defense

My Only Defense

Eyes of green

  Look through me

Furrowed brow

  What does she see?

Wrinkled nose

  Red full lips

Down-turned mouth

  Red finger tips

Shrouded silence

  Fills the space

She’s angry now

  I know that face

Excuses flash

  Emotion intense

I’m a man

  My only defense

A Poem ... Single Soul

Single Soul

Shadows dance to a hidden beat

Eternal light and mystery meet.

Spirit, aura cadence songs

Single soul rises and belongs

Time wrapped and folded right

Third eye now has the sight

Transition to a higher plane 

Forgotten earth, forgotten pain

Mortal purpose finally clear

Beautiful single rolling tear

Run, jump,  touch the sky

Live forever and never die.

A Poem ... Land of Freedom

Land of Freedom

Symbols and sounds
Surround my space
Everything fits
We all have a place

They watch all
With critical eye
Do what they say
Or someone will die

Land of freedom
Distant dream
Wasteland now
Sludge and steam

The foundations groan
The sleeper awakes
Time to work
No more mistakes

Determined men
Strong and true
Start again
They know what to do

Evil flees before
Their wrath
Back to hell
They beat their path

Righteous Nation
Under GOD
We walk again
On holy sod

A Poem ... My World

My World.

I wonder 

  when we share 

a perfect view.  

Do we see 

  the same color 
and hue?

If I saw 

  your world,
through my  eyes

Would I 

  laugh, 
would it surprise?

Is your 

  garden green, 
my navy blue?

What is lie 

  and 
what is true?

When the sparrow

  birdsong 
sings

Would I think

  a 
church bell rings?

The orchid

  sweetest
perfume scent

Heavenly rain

  or 
olfactory dent?

Tender caresses

  under
moonlight

Ambrosia sweet

  or 
mosquito bite?

I’ll keep my world
  and 
my view

Knowing we are 

  different 
me and you.

Sit with me

  and
watch the sky

We’ll speak our truths

  and 
never lie.

A Poem ... The Blossom

The Blossom

The seed 
  was thrown away

Cast aside 
   for a better day

Sitting alone 
   in the garden shed

She wasn’t alive, 
   she wasn’t dead

Seasons came 
   and seasons went

Summer days 
   and winter spent

Forgotten by 
   the garden master

Not a life 
    just disaster

A loving hand
   plucked her up

Placed at last
   in the sowing cup

  Planted deep
   on a gentle plain

Sunshine bright 
    and blessed rain

Pain of growth 
   wracked her soul

To reach the sky 
    the ultimate goal

Blossom bright 
   in that final day

Watching the children 
    laugh and play

A Poem ... Spring

Spring

Sunbeams dance in the breeze
Waves of birdsong fill the trees

Flowers bloom with fragrance sweet
Laughter, love and beauty meet

Spring my favorite time of year
Even better when you are near.
