Best Make Tracks Poems

Such a good day for a walk
here in my favourite countryside
many times walked this pathway
blessed memories in my mind confined

All set with a rucksack on my back
walking boots fitting my size eleven
scarf and gloves at the ready if cold
this scenery is earth's pic of heaven

Now...

From East to west enslaved in chains
To work the fields, make tracks for trains
They sang their song antiphonally
To dull their day, hide misery
Those blues notes hit in wailing tone
And words about the heavenly home

Their doleful sounds had paved the way
To blues and jazz in later...

When we make amends, we close and seal cracks,
Keep our footing solid as we forward make tracks.
On our pathway of life, we stay on solid ground,
If we walk in humbleness, always Truth bound.

When we allow our differences left without resolution,
Cracks begin to form in our...

would you ever walk into a hospital and make your presence known 
by storming into rooms and looking the patients in the eye
"your pain isn't real" and "just fix it yourself"
 falls out of your mouth and sits in the air like something unfathomable
of course...

Hidden
A secret
Must keep it 
Forbidden to be in the same area or even seen with 
Sharing a secretive kiss and passionate
Hugs and whispers of love
Outwardly detached except to who's above
Footsteps creeping wood creaking 
Bed rails leaning wanting more than a fling
Yurning for the other perspective
All...

The shoes display themselves in racks,
In lines of oddities without their partner shoe,
All kinds of people enter and to them make tracks,
To survey, try on these leathers of every hue.
The shoes wait not knowing who will want to buy
Unknown to them their future or even...

March Winds

Stooping their backs while grasping their hats
The gentleman and lady friend push back
The wind, attempting to gain progression
On the sidewalk to their destination!

One leg ahead, followed by the other
Stepping forward in an aggressive manner,
They make tracks but the draft is intently
Sweeping brutishly, blistering chillingly.

This...

Silent flurries flutter down. My nose cold, cheeks warm. Whiteness gathers, explores, dusting sidewalks and my Christmas sweater. Cold angels in the snow, children giggle, flap their wings. Powdery-snow rolled into small, medium and large — a snowgent with smiling pebble teeth and a pointy...

Aroused with head of hair. O grizzly bear!
Awake! As fangs do sink into my neck.
Reward, if you...O king, my life will spare.
I gnaw my nails, depressed...for i’m a wreck.

Do you, O beast hear buzzing...wink. Oh honey!
You hear the slap of salmon steak, I think?!
For you...

As we sit in the car
my sister, mother, father, and me
steam rises off our rain-sodden clothes
and the air fills with the smell 
of damp coats and wet sheep.
I 'spect;
I'll never smell sheep
wet or dry.
Or see one; other than as we pass by;
from the window of...

Trust in the one you love and who loves you back
Ain't whistling dixie, it's a reason lovers attract
Without trust
It's only lust
Soon becomes old and time to make tracks...

Dogs of every shape and size
On leashes pass by, prancing,
While breezes from the river blow
And set the leaves to dancing.

Balls are tossed and trees are climbed
As sweat-stained joggers, bouncing,
Make tracks around the strollers,
Like their fitness they're announcing.

Families and friends converse 
And benches fill, inviting
The readers...

IV.
Myron’s jaw clenched as he eyed the old brave,
who stood quiet and took in the whole scene
glared intensely at Myron where he stood,
said,”Well then white man, what do you mean?”

Myron just stared iron back at the man,
said”Leave my home and do not ever come back.
I’ll...

Sometimes in life when God's direction you seek,
You need His guidance on some timely action.
When you're praying your understanding He might tweak,
For your purest thoughts seem to get no traction.

You ask, please Lord, give me a sign of some kind,
Then from your hearts depth tears...
