Where Eagles Soar
tired from crawling
no desire to walk - bless me with wings to fly
in the midst of melancholic melodies of rain
through monotonous tones of charcoal clouds
take me to a place where eagles soar
free me from those who preach in shrouds
ascending above snow drenched Himalayan cliffs
far from cultural vultures preying on my mind
take me to a place...

MISTY Sea Day
I love the blue water,
as I am rocked to sleep.
The salt air fills my soul,
as I dream far away.
I am awakening,
to a misty sea day.

In The Mouth of Desire
The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride...

Courage Conquers
Let’s win over our fear and doubt
Battling against woe, angst, pain
Vanquishing through faith hopeless pout
Courage conquers!
Standing firm upon harsh terrain
Contenders as bears for champ’s bout
Prove so that bravery does reign.
Overcoming harshness of drought
Ferocious toward triumph gain
Freed by God from cowardice-clout
Courage conquers!

a Sizzle and a Spark
perception sees beyond reality
interprets to the best of its ability
optimism keeps fire burning in one’s heart
while pessimism gleefully tears everything apart
instead of being boggled with the mundane
romance fills our days with wonder and champagne
a dusting of fantasy does wonders to cast a spell
kicks life up a notch and that’s no bagatelle

The Art of Living
Beauty is in the mastery
of the life your have created for yourself
the interests and passions you've delved into
culminating in the unique individual you've become
you are the tapestry of your life's work...

I THINK TOO MUCHI THINK TOO MUCH
I think too much of what has been
I should let my heart rule the day
And treat it as a movie scene
I think too much
I’d let those thoughts just blow away
Nor ever work out what they mean
Keep a settled mind, some might say
A sharp edged blade may be too keen
But still cuts deep,...

May Hope and Faith set you free
By Michelle Morris

You read a poem about the Good Bones
And I could feel your sadness
Those words about unkind people
How the World was filled with madness
But even if there's just one
One little Light in the Dark
It can create a ripple
Ignite...

Summer Funny Limerick
The Fourth of July is almost here,
it will be hot but will it be clear?
Fireworks made me pee my pants,
all wet but I will still dance.
Pretty colors do not run in fear....

Your Own Promised Land
Burning all bridges behind you, standing on the edge of a plateau
If ever there was a time to see if you can fly, it is now, let's go
There is no looking back, time to spread those wings and fly
This is it; this is now your moment of do, or die
These emotions you are about to...

Before It’s Too LateBe careful with kindness, don’t give it away..
Too much of it leads the heart astray.
It’s not always ego when drawing a line..
Sometimes it’s courage.. a much healthier sign.
In the end, it’s just you in the fight..
So guard your peace, and sleep well at night.
Things will shift and people will stray..
Be true to yourself, and don’t...

Be a player
Not caring leads to more not caring
and leads to even less caring.
It’s a slippery downhill slope
that gets you nowhere fast.
So get a grip. Stand tall.
Kick it up a notch
and quickly veer off that
self-destructive ramp.
