Boldly
Boldly,
No other word will do,
For the way you forge
Into your life
Each day.
Steps I take to follow
Slow,
With trepidation.
Earmarked with caution,
Riddled with fear.
An extra skin
Carried so long,
A hardened shell,
Baked by the heat
Of a thousand
Silent stares,
Doubting me,
Until
I doubt myself.
You,
The inspiration,
The light,
That will guide me,
Free me,
From the prison
Of
Indecision.

Boldly, He Came Closer
He flew to my warmth; moth to a flame
But I tamed the flames of my fire
when I felt the heat of his fingertips
Boldly, he came closer to kiss my lips
and his touch became the heat of desire
For a death, this moth was not to blame

O I Will Boldly Proclaim of the Goodness of God
O will boldly proclaim of the goodness of our GOD!
O I will boldly sing of the holiness of our GOD!
O I will boldly testify of the righteousness of
our most high and most holy grand LORD GOD!
O How good is our God?

Through every city

Walk Boldly
Walk confidently into the daybreak its light resting softly upon your eyes
Embrace the day the year ahead
in determined hope surmise
Let any thought that robs your peace
Swiftly let it go
To the abyss of nothing from whence it arose
for reasons only heaven could know
Make peace ,live peace with God and man
reach out with the

Because I Will Walk Out Boldly
Because I will. I did walk out boldly
l fear nothing
for you save me
tonight
I will remember that I walked into the dark with you
And you made light of all of the adversity
You stretched out your wings
You stopped those who would have hurt me
You made me dance and love
You made me twirl

Speaking Boldly Takes Courage
Speaking Boldly Takes Courage
Miracle Man
6/2.2022
On occasion, I’ve been told Tom, use some tact,
because I say things bluntly, matter of fact.
No hedging, I’m a truthful shooter instead,
Never leaving one to question just what I said.
But intent, has never been to injure one’s pride,
but to get them to the place where we must abide.
I’ve said things boldly,

To Boldly Go
Shatner's Star Trek: a true break-out show
Well, except for the red shirts, you know?
With their food replicators,
Universal translators,
To infinitives, they'd boldly go.

To Boldly Go
His dad’s a lifelong Trekkie with a line he likes to say
Tod always hoped he’d get to use the line himself one day
On his birthday Lucy met him by the classroom door
She said I’m gonna give you what you’ve been asking me for
Tod said he’d like to boldly go where no man’s gone before
Then all

To Boldly Go
My training at Starfleet was over, they were now deploying me
I was over the moon when they called; I was full of glee
I entered the transporter room where I'd dematerialize
And within seconds I was aboard, the Starship Enterprise.
I was an expert on Klingonese; they needed me for interpretation
Their council leaders on Kronos wanted to join

Boldly Go
Feel peace trace
Joy in sacred space
Words bring tints
As thought textures mint
Works spread rhymes
As art attest chimes
Thought knows well
As deep message tells
Touch feels good
As silence curls mood
Trace pure grace
On your charming face

Boldly
Start here
Seize lavish cheer
Dare act
Bloom with sure tact
Be brave
Watch your soul save
Act cool
Dare play the fool
Do good
Align each mood
Make art
Right from your heart
Look deep
Wake joy from sleep
Love calls
Mints sweet and gall
Faith hooks
Lives in wise books
Soul speaks
As stillness peaks
Come then
You know just when

How Dare We Ever So Boldly Speak Out
How Dare We Ever So Boldly Speak Out
Let me write in obscure and chaotic words
stirring waters tepidly unknown
Yet my spirit refuses to admire such birds
or the massive flattery they are now shown
Why yes, some of us write from poetic hearts
with passion and not merely for fleeting praise
We that sail the seas, using understood charts
are now

With Twilight's Glow Nature Boldly Speaks
With Twilight's Glow Nature Boldly Speaks
Soft twilight glow just before dawn's new birth
When sun and earth show, art for all its worth.
O' tender emotions- send not thy cries!
For Nature holds more than blue, blue skies!
As light sends shadows burrowing so deep
Furry animals wake from midnight sleep.
Rabbits and squirrels hop out to and fro
Songbirds sing and

Boldly Seize the Night
We should never, ever
Suffer from timidity…
Erenow let us be
Both brash and bold…
For we’ll ne’er be
This young again (you see)
Nor will we e’er be so old
Let us take delight
In delayed goodnights
In long embraces
Hold so tight
Take leisure in
The pleasure of
Long languid looks
From limpid eyes
We should never be
Afraid To proffer thanks
Boldly offer profuse delight
Always tender

Charge Boldly Charge
Charge boldly charge
No quarter asked
From the valley
They stormed
An enemy
Struck
As blood
A sideways rain
Blinding those
Left afoot
With horses
Shot
A hill to be
Taken
No more reason
Than that
Dead Captain
Face down
His riderless
Mount
Chasing
Straight
To the top
The summit
Crested
Invaders
Turned
With screams
From the
Boys
Now cries
From the
Men
As downward
They start
Killing from
The back
With no
Quarter given
Charge boldly charge
