Joe Maverick Poet Verse

The Reality

They are with us..' life and death the chance to look
Or look away.' To involve to speak or remain silent.'
I will be maligned if I do, maligned if I 'do not' what
To do? Which is best.' I read its on the tounge that
Power.' Yet that power i covet not.' Nor any brutish power 
The power to overcome.? That I consider different.'
There is much to overcome, starting with myself I
Must consider? some I have achieved.' Some i must
Still work on.' There is also how I am percieved by
Others.' Maybe that can only be overcome by God.?
What is death? What is fear.? Even life temporary here.'
Lord I've seen your strong hand, i've spoken then forgotton
I had no plan.' No true idea of what you could.' Do
I'm learning Father I do, cry loud to you; I did some wrong
I learned from man.' I'd give so much, to change so much 
Now not in my hands.'
Bereft of pride, of human sight.' I can trust it not' its range
Or light,
For its fading blurs the lines, twixt anger and hate
Twas with me so.' Thoughts of calm yet flashes flew
I'd wander aimless..Saying I knew.' Now I need your grace
Your guiding hand, I wish to share, a love so grand its
Love, your love. I crave it more.' I wish to bolt the pasts
Dark doors.' For Iiving in my early life; consigned to You
Midst dark deeds rife, something like Moses was my
Birth, brought up in a home of cunning and its gilded 
worth.' To
Be as one..'Yet not i was not alike; its hard to think to
Quantify i wrestle with reasons, I resolve now not to try'
I'll lay it all before your power, the truth and and hope 
Lord the worlds lies; I'll trust you to overpower'  
You alone know it all, the same today, as in the fall.'

Vijay Pandit December 21, 2022 at 5:56 AM You ponder the depth of emotions, Joe. Strong feelings in this dialogue on life and reality and much longing for guidance to resolve life's turmoil. You made me pause and think. Joe Maverick December 21, 2022 at 9:23 AM I am grateful that you took time To consider, Vijay I am feeling heavy In the head tense, like I suppose An animal might? that is trying to Break through a barrier to allow Movement for itself and others May God bless you abundantly.'
