Best Believe Poems

 Like an evening sun
I settle by the lake
Wearing nothing but my thought
as I recall your name.

I recall last moments
Green shades where we have been
Your voice,a wailing flute
playing in the wind.

The sight of you- a mountain
The scent of you -fresh rain
The warmth of you- a...

life can be a ravaged garden
and I have been through a lot in mine
living through tons of grief and sorrow
             have asked God why I am alive ?
what purpose do I serve...

  Up until the summer of 1999, I only knew of the words "Jesus."
  I knew what was being taught in church.
  As I sat in the pew, I heard the Bible being read. 
  Words with empty meanings, blowing in...

YOU ARE GOD and I HAVE TO BELIEVE


My dear Father God above the heavens high
ever loving and ever faithful in loving me
even though, I am being sinful, stubborn,
and disobedient to follow Your call and will...

I am really sorry for the times I failed
but I surely...

I had a dream...

I am sleeping on a cloud. Upon awakening, I gaze at planet earth below. From my vantage point I can see the globe in its entirety. Something has changed. Before falling asleep I was watching the news. It spoke of war, inflation,...

If only for today...
Would you believe?
Not in a deity
Not in someone else
Not in some grand idea
But in yourself
We put faith in what is around us
But little of it finds a home
Within the depths of our soul
But there is one reality
Nothing is realer than you
Nobody ever...

I am bold in spite of my fears.
I am strong in spite of weak-
ness.
I can fly high although my wings 
are hurt.
I can see even though some-
thing is blocking my view.
I can love in the midst of hate
I can hope although it looks 
bleak.
I can...

I can’t believe I thought that there’d be no darkness when it’s dawn,
I’ll be your queen of hearts, even if the cosmos did crack, 
‘forever’ exists as an unseen reality, and the sun will always sprinkle saffron crumbles, 
upon vivacious petals of violet roses, 
painted...

The numbers spike ever higher
  Tiny sparks now raging fires
The unseen killer makes his rounds
  Headaches throb, chests pound

Streets deserted, sidewalks too
  I wear a mask at home with you
A nation's nightmare, no end in sight
  Few believe it'll be alright...

It is the winter of 1980.
I’m twenty-eight years young, 
Driving a red Mustang with glass T-tops,
Feeling all of my awesome sassiness, from toe
To Afro, when I notice the cards driving ahead of me
Are all slowing way down. A wreck? Can’t be because nobody stops.
I’m a...

Honesty
Cross your heart and hope to die*
Speak the truth and look directly into someone's eyes
Then the world will know you are not lying

I believe we are all family....
  and golden
  and our souls (are One)
  with starlight

I believe in the love in your eyes(all)
  as oceans blue, brown, black and green
  infinite with immortality

I believe the children come first ---

Love me though it's only make believe
Kiss me though I really know
You hold me close to just deceive;
Let that one sweet second flow
Over me lest it sink and break
My poor heart, for pity's sake.

Lend me faith for my belief
Give me from your eyes a smile;
Take...

Imagine a world
Where silence fills the void,
Sighing so its heard,
A voice raining kindness.

Imagine a life
Where joy is alive inside
The ones who know strife
Will be erased by serenity’s smiling

Imagine a dream
Where God is at the center
Giving inspiration to redeem,
Filling the heart with generosity
And peace!

Imagine a heart
Who...
