Awakened
My window opened
I hear soft music
The sound of voices
In a deep slumber
Wakes me from my sleep
A stink in the air
A strong scent lingers
A pit fire burns
Something unpleasant
It last all night long

Self-imprisoned
In this abyss, where senses fade,
A labyrinth of fears, eyes stick to spade
A choice self-made, a soul betrayed,
In pale moonlight, a tearful price is paid
Man without a shrine, longing for time,
A barren altar, with no falter, heart in chains,
Death’s embrace, leaves no trace,
Echoes remain, whispering in pain.
Silence.
No more pain.
In bleakest dreams, her face indiscernibly

Awakened
The sun's flirtatious wink woke me at dawn
I smiled, lazily stretched, and stifled a yawn
I was teased by the touch of his warm hand
The power of his refulgent torch, I understand
His golden majesty then rose to brighten the skies
greeting the morning in such a grandiose reprise

He Is Risen Linking Pin Sonnet
He Is Risen (A Linking Pin Sonnet in the Spence Style)
The stone was rolled—rolled far from death’s command,
Command could not contain the Son of light.
Light broke the tomb and touched the trembling land,
Land kissed His feet, awakened by His might.
Might bowed to love, for love could not stay dead,
Dead gave way when life began to

Sleeper
I’m constantly sleeping while you are away
From one dream to another I roam
Like people change stations, and trains in soft sway
Deliver them where to they go
When I wake up and there’s no sign around
That could remind me of you
I’m falling asleep and the day without sound
Falls in the evening blue
There’s no destination in dreams to

New Day
Apparent air in tug-of-war with passing butterfly wings;
It is the music from the story my heart daily sings.
For I awoke in love today, so deep I know that I will drown.
Welcome Trident’s Touch, as much, as life’s new whispered sound.
For no time now exists of which I fear. All burdens past belong to burdens past.
Fleeing

Awakened Sleeping Giant
They said he peaked & fell off the wall
but he's only getting started
Still hitting his target audience while
in hibernation is a riddle
that has them puzzled
The muzzle is off as he barrels toward
winter with more spring
in his step than before
the fall
He hardly recalls the names
& faces that spoke negatively
along the way
after all is said &

His breath in us.

twilight before you become vertical
Gaze in His sight our Father God
Has given us, His peace, hoy and love

AWAKENED- CR
Awaken
Closed eyes shut, awakened
In the Beauty of Father Subconsciously while asleep; Partaking of His beauty deep;
Grace, Solice, Mercy speaks;
Beloved you are adorn His;
And in Him there's peace;
Awakened thankful
Awakened with His breath
Awakened in His love
Awakened embraced ??
Hallelujah ????

Awakened Passion for God the Father
Awakened passion
The Cross was the perfect transaction
We are now reconciled with God the Father
God’s Kingdom is very practical
The Love of the Father is filled with Destiny
The Earth is the platform
Loving God, the Father is the Norm
Awakened passion
The Cross was the perfect transaction
We are now reconciled with God the Father
God’s Kingdom has the resources we need
So

Awakened soul
The days awakened soul
draws me to the beach
crystal sand sticks to feet
as I walk out of ocean's grasp
and collapse onto beach towel
under sun's command I lay
absorbing all its rays
til clouds roll in for sudden afternoon storm
and chase me on my way

AWAKENED I FLY- a dedicated verse for Delores Matthews-
Can not smell the flowers
if I'm not awake (yet I can)
Yet if I be dead I'll arise ( I shall )
I'll rise
And shall fly, I'll flee I'll fled
In a twinkling of an eye
I'll fly, soul/spirit rise
I'll fly
awaken by the trumpets call
Sweet soul by the by and by
Can't see the flowers, for humanities tears
They renege punished

Awakened Longing
The scene you render, serene and sublime,
Awakens a longing, untouched by time.
Symbolic and sweet, your desires so true,
My soul aches for the soft touch of you.
Perchance an angel from realms above,
Sent to restore my faith in love.
Yet here lies a cold, callused heart,
Memories of love, a soul torn apart.
Love’s sweet whispers, once graced my ear,
But

Awakened
"Silence fills all the spaces between
the soft flutter of fragile butterfly wings.
There one second and then gone, the faint breeze in a syncopated song.
As twilight gatherers the dark corners close, I hear the haunted lament of tormented ghosts.
Living in this wilderness on my own, the
