Whispers Between Words
I came with hands unclenched and heart awake, To serve, to teach—for hope and learning's sake. I walked among the young with humble aim, Yet found the fire I brought met not the same. The gate was open, but the welcome thin, The smiles spoke less than what stirred within. Cold winds blew from those I stood beside, While silence grew where...

Challenges And Fears
The appearance of the same alluring dream brings on adored visions of days already past; and reliving them with delight, I can guard them without fearing that what is precious is never lost! I do realize that the stronger the feeling, the deeper is the meaning of each yearning; buried it under sand dunes where the bagger gets drunk: all...

Due
It's due... So what am I going to do? The funds have gotten low And the flow has been slow And I just don't know... But I got to keep the lights on I got to keep the water running Nothing in the fridge or the cupboards, c'mon Lord, please keep me from jumping This darn phone keeps ringing But no good news its bringing It's...

Premium Member TO BEING SET ON THE OLYMPIAN TRACK OF LIFE
Having, with hope and faith, overcome past moonless night-like trials and tribulations, I meet today's sunshine-ones with Gilead's balm; Be aware that each living day and night has its race, and there is no need to jump the gun in disqualification; for it's not about coming in first place, but finishing the race:- Indeed, it's all about an old Japanese...

Family is the Heartbeat
In the arms of those who love me, I find the rhythm of my soul. Through laughter, tears, and quiet moments, We are the heartbeat, keeping me whole. Not just by blood, but by kindness, Family is those who care. Through struggles, joy, and every challenge, Together, we are stronger, we share. From the lessons learned from those before us, We carry stories, we...

Blue, The Understudy
Walking in the gaps of the dancing snow, Holding my candle under the moon's glow, I met the winter's breath, my footprints on the dirt. I sang the story of my youth, and breathed the night. I painted a land where the spirit met the heart. Where I'd push constellations to make amends. The home I sought, a theater of dreams, The...

Sailing
There are days when the water exhales softly, its glass surface holding the light like a promise, and my boat - once battered and splintered - glides steady, sails catching the wind at just the moment I need them to. The storms don’t forget me. They linger at the edges of the horizon, a dark smudge where sky and sea bleed into each other. I’ve stopped...

Unmasking to Genuine Authenticity
To unmask a false identity is to identify genuine authenticity. It's painful, no, it kills me, but it's the only way to heal what's deep. Pain in my body, it was a lie to me. Deep regrets built in from long ago. No. Deep pits that have since grown cold. The shame was underlying, and i craved the construct of what...

Premium Member Warrior
I am a warrior/ In this life of mine/ Willing to ride or die/ For what I believe in/ The will of steel/ This heart of mine/ Is thumping war drums/ Calling to all/ To fight for your life/ This is not for/ The weak or cowards/ In the end/ Life will end as the prophecy foretells/ For all the hate the world breeds/ Struggling through inner wars/ Temper our...

Transcending Challenges
Seeing you makes me wonder, How your life's been doing over. I hope you're getting better, In everything, you'll be greater You're happy that's good, You seemed to be in a great mood. It's like the warmth of the firewood, On that part I understood. In the future don't be scared, Always be ready and be prepared. So that in problems you won't be ensnared, From...

If I want to change the world I will get a train ride To mount Zion today And get the express permission Of God I will ask God To allow all married men With marital challenges To rewind the clock of life And move it to their Comfort zone of bachelorhood ...
