American Hero Memorial Day Poem

the American hero who did not get the parade
 who left his dog tags on the field
 who's weapon fired his last round 
 who now rests on holy ground
 for the ultimate price they paid
 in my heart i have a place everyday 
 i remember the ones who did
 and the family members who do 
 to make America free for me and you
 it is not just a day , we should kneel down
 and pray , for the warriors who are out in 
 the field fighting for the flag of freedom
 we'll cherish those we've lost
 and their gift to us , the total cost
 this Memorial Day take a moment and pray

wings flutter about the vine
grace the passion fruit

Top of the Food Chain

orange scattered skies 
 an awaited breeze 
 watching the birds 
 form tree to trees 
 a thunder clap 
 we pause..listen..scatter 
 distance dusk howling sounds 
 then the unmistakable movement 
 it slashes, ripping, gurgling moans 
 just a victim of the game 
 on top of the food chain 
 as I walk I cast a shadow long 
 blend in café ridden side walks 
 it’s moves are precise 
 just another prey in life 
 on top of the food chain 
 when you move you leave it clues 
 no doubt it’s on top of you 
 your eyes dart back and forth 
 moving from side to side 
 15 minutes of fame 
 My life on top of the food chain

War Within Memorial Day Poem

for me i still have the war within
 a fight that was not mine to hold
 i should rejoice for our side won
 but left some brother and sisters
 in the cold flag draped boxes cold
 put down my rifle, helmet, boots
 married but the war was still going
 the battle ground bloodied with scars
 bullet riddled lies booby traps of deceit
 she has to sleep with the enemy me
 put to rest my bloody fatigues
 take away the war in me
 help me be the man i should
 and over come the pride i could
 remember those who paid the price
 who won't come home
 memorial day i lay it down
 no more fight no more gun
 just remembering the ones that
 didn't make it home

Tree

tower over me 
the forest bows when you fall 
angry men cut you

Wind At My Back

felling the wind at my back 
set free as it rustles my mood 
about 

the tall grass bends and bows
under my feet and my life

time is buried six feet below
what will you say 

words spoken louder then thunder
though i still can't hear them

i don't believe i am supposed to hear 
this wind at my back controls me

guides me past my humility 
free from any political agenda 

are the birds mocking me or 
laughing with me,  their grins 

and peacock feather grace 
are they better than the human race

i have found my life is expired 
and these random thoughts now
get me tired 

i have won the race held my head up 
asked for forgiveness, been a witness

i have left a better then average corps 
lost some weight and exercised 

nothing has changed the birds still sing 
though i am in the 5 ft 10 in cage

Floating Away

i see the galaxy closing in
no time to think or where to begin

been floating in this nevermore
for so long my wits are wearing thin

black hole o death creeping creeping 
can't comprehend, this never

floating about in my endeavor
faster i fall spinning out of control 

remember how life used to be 
i was floating with you 

hand in hand to a distant land
no distractions stars lite our way

galaxies passed us by , a shower
has the power as we turn to escape
 
your hit by a meteor that seal your fate
seems like yesterday maybe it was 

i see my life in a never ending freeze 
black hole o death is creeping in creeping in

Just Imagine

evening blue skies
our hearts surrender 
as love fills our eyes
soul-mates come together
life shimmering 
bright as the Northern star
paths ever clearing
one road to life 
and oh so far
not counted by miles
but by smiles
kindness , selflessness 
service and a wish
for love 
just imagine

The Old Man

for years i had learned to hold him down
swore i would never bring him around

dug a big hole and threw him in 
never looked back , a new life had begun

gonna live right for you , and the kingdom that i knew 
but on that day , just like any other day

woke up to the fleeting thought 
of how it used to be , got cought up in the same old guy

the ground was breached , the ole man cried 
free at last , i bought the lie

for it was the time my soul would die
and now the old man sighed 

i have freely given into this guy 
who was so wrong that it felt alright

and now he is taken over 
my light is fading slower

in the glow of my redeemer
seems all is lost , from a pit i was tossed

as i looked at this rockey bottom 
i realize that i have not forgotten
 
the creator of the heavens and the earth
by your hand you lift me up

it was you who never gave up
when i thirst you gave me your cup

and i say i need you now 
on my knees i fall apart 

from this point i make a start
to forgive myself and bury the old man again
 
with you i finally make my stand
so when he lifts his old guy head 

breach the ground of the dead 
it is you i will lean on

for the old man was here
now he is gone 

i am free
