Why would He go to that tree
To save evil humanity
Why would He bleed and die~you see
To keep us alive in our vanity
Why would He go to that tree
To save us all and even me
In the beginning He created
Man, the crown of creation
A mirror of Him
One created being to tend
The garden created by Him
How He loved those long walks
In the cool of the day
Before it got dark
Man talking directly with His creator
How He loved the man
Then man fell into the temper's hands
Now only vanity at his command
The beautiful earth fell to the curse
As did animals, bacteria and land
Why did He go to that tree
To save evil humanity
Redeem mankind, earth and clim
He saved all that did fall
Oh! How He loved His man
Ascending within; to feel my happiness climB
Setting out solo; internal ecstasy can providE
Carving contentment by relearning to crawL
Enjoying this wonderful spiritual crescendO
Noticing on the way; all little things contaiN
Dualities in me but don't require explaininG
Intrinsic kaleidoscopes; always up the antI
Needless is it to enforce emotional refraiN
Grasp the view feeling truest in belonginG
Astrologists with ancient viewS
Seek to predict what people dO
As mirrors of the heaven's climB
By measuring the sky and timE.
Oft I look up with differed goaL
Valuing where my soul may gO
Ever to rise when buried loW.

Message in an Acrostic 2 Poetry Contest
a breaking storm
at sea
lost in a white
-foamed
wave
dark skies
planks of
wood men
overboard
floating dots
of flesh scream
-ing in the clim
-ing tide
the sea
holds her secrets
flesh covered
with silver glory
the gold coin
the faded face
I heard Bing Crosby sing
My heart skipped a little
Close is the time
Of joyful rhyme
Sleighs and snowman
Georgia's southern clim'
Doesn't go for snow
Below the tinsel lighted star
We sing Bing!
