half-asleep
Though half asleep,
my mind discrete,
Does observe a stranger,
a face close by,
as i do sleep,
beside me,
cheek by cheek,
face by face,
no danger.
Who is this lady sweet devine,
Someone from another time,
To be there in my dreaming time?
A princess of soothsayers.
We come and go,
I almost know,
The veil parts,
an there you flow,
A Subtle sweet ironic show,
angelic thought,
her face a-glow,
I’m surely yet to know,
coming is a friend of long ago,
to fill the void,
of I won’t show,
my subtle thought arranger…

Those well coheres conditions; and acts without restrictions
they're all without admissions; like disease without remission.
Walking all alone; his intentions never known
he seems doomed to be alone; in this world that isn't home.
There are those that may contend; object and recommend
cause wounds that will not mend; praise God and say amen.
Though he can recognize; he will seldom vocalize
for he's seen to many signs; of a better mans demise.
So he keeps it all inside; it's the safest place to hide
so he can minimize; the tears that he must cry.
If any should reach out; you shouldn't blame him for his doubt
don't try to yell and shout; for that's when he will walk out.
It will take a little time; to see what's on his mind
in time you just might find; he's somewhat sweet and kind.
His caution is no stranger; and his love is not a danger
he needs not an arranger; and his love is the remainder.
You might have it if you asked; but don't let it be a task
let it warm you as you bask; and drink from loving flask.
If you should try to hide; the more he'll get inside
so take it all in stride; and he may walk there by your side.

As I did gaze upon her for the first time as she labored in small shop in what appeared to be
a hole in a wall that open into this place where she did work all day. Almaz was an Ethiopian
beauty with gorges reddish color hair which was filled with big curly locks that seem to flow
into an endless chasm of never ending twist and turns, with a smile that seem to light up that
tiny little room. A rare beauty was she to behold, elegant yet graceful and humble in her
soul…as I did watch her as she did strategically place each flower by hand one by one and
with each gentile twist or turn of her soft golden tone skin colored hands until a work of art
was form inside of each vase that they did adorn.
Sometimes the vases were made of glass or maybe of some type of fine cultivated stone …
but each one that was made to become a work of art made to express someone else’s
declared love or concern for a love of family member or even the lost of an unrequited love
and she did do her best to express their thoughts with the arrangement made from the heart.
With her beautiful brown eye’s that seem to tell a story of a pain and a deep love for her
family… that she displayed with each piece of work that she did make. With each day of hard
work in this small shop where she toiled all day in her endless attempt to repay her family
for a debt that she so desperately wanted to repay…for it was the love of her father that had
brought Almaz the flower arranger to this place.
So many people do take the love of their family for granted, but… no not this lady…no not
this lady…no not her ever, not even for a second in a day. Almaz made the flowers arrange
all day, all for a debt of love that she wanted to repay. Little did she know that it was already
repaid in full… with a father’s silent pray of love to see his daughter in a place where her
dreams could blossom in the promise land, were no Kings are crowned or Queens ruled, but
in this place of commoners were freedom was born to rule. Were even the poorest of men
could rise to the highest office in the land. Truly your father has completed his arrangement
in the vase with the most beautiful flower that he could find to place it in for the whole world
to see, Almaz you are that flower that completes his arrangement.

I am...
a lamb of the Good Shepherd; seeking to love and follow him more faithfully
the husband of my college sweetheart; with her, I hold a winning lottery ticket
a family man; seeking to make my clan a place to thrive, a safe haven for all
a hard worker; seeking to pour heart, soul, strength and mind into each task
an empathetic friend; seeking to acknowledge pain and help you find your way
a waistwatcher; seeking that enigmatic perfect ratio of flavor to calorie count
an aficionado of nature's beauty; seeking moon rises, waterfalls, and sunsets
a trail maven; seeking to conquer unattained summits and enjoy unseen vistas
a pedal pusher; seeking to luxuriate in the great outdoors by cycling through it
a careful arranger of words; seeking to write poetry qualifying as transcendent
a student of the arts; seeking to divine their secrets and know myself better
a creator of music; seeking to be a blessing, mindful of those far more talented
a lover of humor; seeking to laugh at myself, and 'dish' with a wink and smile
a player of games; seeking camaraderie over a win, fellowship over high score
a solver of puzzles; seeking to use math and science to comprehend my world
a connoisseur of the fine wine of baseball; seeking that elusive championship
a perceiver; seeking to heal with a compassionate ear and encouraging word
.....
I am blessed and grateful to be alive and loved by such wonderful people
I am a zoo of many animals; come by some time and find one you like!

Help wanted. See the details below.
I’m lookin’ for a part-time assistant, and a life skills mentor,
A Quick Books accountant, and an exercise partner,
And a neat housekeeper that can do windows.
It helps if you’re a sink un-plugger, and a flower arranger,
And a calendar planner, and a good back scratcher,
And an organic gardener that can make things grow.
Later I might need a daycare provider, and a taxi driver,
And a paramedic, and a pre-school teacher.
You’ll be the go-to person that everyone knows.
It helps if you’re a gourmet cook, and a chic hair stylist,
And a party hostess, and a homework tutor.
Your duties will expand as the company grows.
There’s a retirement package no one else can match.
But I gotta warn you that there’s just one catch.
So if you think you could handle all of the above,
This is a twenty-year contract for a full-time love.
So if you want the position, click the link above!
Might be a thirty-year contract for a full-time love.
Maybe a forty-year contract for a full-time love.
I really need a secretary, and a home decorator,
A shiatsu masseuse, and a fashion coordinator.
There are no limits to how much you can grow.
I can offer you some health insurance, maybe college tuition,
Free company housing, and used transportation.
So what do you say, why don't we make a go?

God I am sitting here realizing the magnitude of your power
God you have millions and millions of people in this world
And you take care of every single one of us
Each with a unique set of problems
And you come up with each a solution
You arrange things
You order things to appear in the order that you want it
Each individualized for each person
You think ahead of time
And know what needs to be done first
How can You do that God?
How can Your power to do all that?
It’s awesome God
It’s beyond unbelievable
And we don’t think it
We thought that everything happens by chance
By our own doing
But you are doing it
All for all of us
Do we know that God?
Or do we sit here groaning
At the occurrence of chance?
Or do we give You glory
And let it rest on You?
The Solution Maker
The Inventive Helper
The Magnificent Arranger
In charge
And at work
For your seedlings
Who you see scatter throughout the earth
That need You
You with Your compassionate eyes
Watching over
And take care of business
Our business
Do we give You glory enough God?
Praises enough?
To magnify You
The Incredible
Magnificent
Glorious You
Help us Lord
To bring happiness to Your heart
To have a smile on Your beautiful face
When You look upon us
Love you Father
Dynamite You

Loneliness is a fear that sometimes cease life
Cutting through my heart carving its way like a knife
Holding me at a place where I feel for someone I need
To make me feel appreciated, loved and wanted indeed
You asked what is in my heart I once held you second to none
But now here is the truth of my now Dear John
Dear John you made feel like you will always be there
You told me you there was no one else who can care
You claimed to love me and promised me your all
But you busy pleasuring life every-time I call
How could you have held me in your heart when you had none
I gave you my all, blindly believed you now its all gone
You took everything from me you left me with nothing
You said I was yours and so I kept giving
All I have lost and you are no where to be found
Remember you stepped on me when I was on the ground
After that You said love was just a word only fools believed in
You laughed at me when you saw me crippled and bleeding
You said I will never be loved you told me to just hate
I had nothing else but those words so to me they were great
John I have a confession that will change things forever
There was more than you to life but did I see it? Never
I only knew this after you left there was a stranger
He gave me all you took and in my life he became the arranger
John you have nothing here any more
So I give you up and close that door
You will never come back because there is no cause
He told me the truth and loved even my flaws
Something you could have never done
John you lost me now be gone
When I met Him and he was my heart's desire
John for the first time in my life I saw you were a liar

you are the stranger
I wanted to know
hiding in the shadow
working your angle
an unseen danger
to my heart
the real you I still haven't met
the words I hear
sweet like honey
thick and vague
watching what you say
so nothing is conveyed
and no one can see into you
protection for all that you do
a feeling arranger
keeper of the key
that locks my love
nothing can free me
everything keeps you free
you were never in danger
of loving me
