Lead and I Will Follow
Lead and I will follow you, across the deepest seas
Sail on tranquil waters, on our quest for joy and peace

If you lead me I will follow you, onto the sands of the shores
Make love by the rippling waves
As I present to you, the gift that...

Africa
Plagued with an unimaginable measure of beauty
She sits somewhere between the Indian and the Atlantic
Her history boasts of nothing but debauched slavery
Having served leaders who were very autocratic
 
She boasts of a vast expanse of unexploited vegetation
An even greater magnitude of untapped mineral resources
Yet her...

QUIET TIME WITH GOD

In the quiet time of the evening at the end of the day
I hold communion with God while I kneel down to pray
He listens intently with kind, loving care
As I come humbly before His Throne in prayer

He knows all my needs before...

"black Bird" (Spread Your Wing's)
Spread, your wings and soar on high, stretch forth beyond the particle's in
the sky. Rest on a large branch, look down at the creature's of blacks and
white's. Blackbird ain't its enough to make you cry. Crime soaring high, WHY-
why Blackbird why? No one knows, no-one...

Premium Member Loss of Innocence
Fragrant flower, Jasmine infused,

the evening breathes comic book laughter,

colors white and green and yellow.

Our heroes, our saviors in bold of

twilight blue and mud red ocher.

Perfume fingers stretch forth on evening breeze

searching for that champion 

only to find, beneath primary hues,

a miriad of diffuse pastel hides

beneath...

AND ON THAT DAY…
   (APROPOS MLK: PART 1)

And on that day we will rise
And raise the hued shades of ignorance
And let the light of truth shine on our souls
And purify our hearts with warm rays of hope.

And on that day we will rise
And...

Easter,
The Spring of the year.
A time for rejoicing,
For merriment and cheer.

When Nature at last ,
Will stretch forth her hand,
To awaken new life,
And replenish the land.

We welcome warm breezes,
And soft Spring time rains,
As things start to blossom,
On hillsides and plains.

We celebrate Spring,
And the warmth of the...

His Arms
Thoughts race through my mind
Spinning me round and round
Such an over whelming feeling at times
That I can hardly stand upright
And from weakness I fall

Reaching for a hand to hold
I stretch forth reaching Is anyone there?
Where are the arms to hold me close?
Will I pass through...

GOD CHANGES ME


Though I walk in the middle of troubles;
You my God will revive me;
And you shall stretch forth your hand;
Against the evils in the lands;
And if my shadows deems to double;
You my God will recreate me;

And your stretch hand against the wrath of mine;

The Master's Way
It is all designed in time
     the rhythm of your heart,
     like breathing in and breathing out...
     before you even start.

The Barghest's Monody
Therewithal, profluent life ettles it's while.
Thitherward, from Death's bleak campanile
Grim antiphonals serenade.

A capriccio, the slashing swipe of the reaper's scythe
 will serenade.
Stringent Death forthwith anoints the mithridate to
Life's cantankerous and rankling ado

Hither now come, anon recondite Azrael, neither protend
 nor annex this throttled contretemps.

The antiphonal...

Sun and Moon
I miss your presence so much
For it feels so bad knowing we have become but distant lovers
Just like the sun and moon
We only see, but a reflection of our shadows
It melts my heart indeed
How the virgin love, we both shared has faded away

When I stretch...

The Woodlands
Along the dampened and rutted way
The dew lay thick upon the clay
As sunshine broke the morning mist
The leaves still damp received God's kiss

A kaleidoscope of color
Greeted my every twist and turn
From the mighty towering oak
To the little emerald fern

For nestled neath this copse of trees
An...
