Best Are Given Poems
Inspired by photo:
The sun rises like a golden medallion
Turning water into a glowing scene
The smooth green hills welcome open space
Where freedom is found on the slopes
To flee, to run, with open arms to warmth
Wonder rises on the horizon
Taken in by the mind, willing to dream
Of all new beginnings, regardless of falling times
In a life that rolls like the hills, rises like the mountains
In a distant view selectively captured
By willingness to welcome new days
As opportunities of hope and transition
Embraced in the time we are given

Where is the love?
The hate is always there
Giving signs
Like, "Oh beware"
I have sense
I know there's no care
Just there only to share
Too many signs
Overtaken by guilt
Trying to be all slick
I pray for the hurts
Treated like dirt
I forgive, for I shall live.
No matter what the situation
Time passes by
Leave or stay
The relationships a lie.
I am free
Gone to another phase
Do you believe that I'm in a daze?
Think again, Don't be amazed
On my own
For I will be gone.
Not looking back
untraceable tracks
All of the miserable attacks
Just unknown paybacks
From the past held in
To be mended
Trying to destroy me
Won't work, now I see.
Cannot wait until this journey ends
Running fast from the Lion's den
A new life begins
To better days
Not here to stay
Thanking God I'm on my way.
The Signs are given in so many ways
every day, I must always pray.
The “Rights” We Have Are Given By God…
It seems like just about every day and night…
I hear about someone who wants their “civil rights.”
Many think everything we need is found in the constitution.
So they look to our courts and government institutions.
Rather than looking to the Bible for what “ails them.”
They look to a piece of paper,
that will one day fail them!
As many refuse God… Believing there
must be a “separation.”
The moral fabric is being torn
all across this great nation!
The only “rights” we have are given by our supreme being.
He is God! He’s in control.
And rules over everything!
There’s nothing “civil” about sin, and it’s evil force.
We need to look at what is our “spiritual source!”
If it’s God and his word that you try to leave behind.
You’ll fall into the ditch. With the “blind leading the blind.”
If you may seek “civil rights,” there’s still an empty void.
If God’s principles of living in your life
are not employed!
You’re not your own. You were bought 2000 years ago!
This same God who died on a cross
has a claim on your soul!
If anyone has a “right,” It’s God who has a claim on you!
It happened when he said, “forgive them.”
“They know not what they do!”

Woke up with words to a poem
Fully formed,
Muse was whispering
final line.
As my eyes popped open.
All but a wisp of this knowing
Disappeared in the ether
Before I could slap water on my face.
Almost totally gone,
Before coffee.
I have no doubt
Entire texts
Are given to me
By faeries, elves and muses
As I slumber.
I am feeling
So loved.
Thank you,
Spirit Guides.
these days our world seems
to crumble all around us
there's been a time warp
a glitch in the fabric of the universe
shaking the walls of our beliefs
to the depths of our silence
it's the truths that seem
to ring the loudest over yonder
we'll survive and for it will be stronger
no we'll never be the same
blindsided in our vulnerabilities
if nothing else~
we'll never take for granted
the tomorrows of our life
