The Great Composer

We hear the music of life
And we are compelled to dance forever

We dance to the lyrics
Of falling snowflakes
And to the rhythm
Of swaying trees
We dance to the harmony
Of birds in flight for winter
And to the song
Of the honey bee queen
We dance to the tempo
Of deer frolicking in the meadows
And to the count
Of the woodpecker’s aim
We dance

Compelled

May the moment’s perfection upon the soul caress
	And speak whispers of love, as hearts together meld.
Joined as one, and the songs from heaven bless
	The truth of which; towards all things compelled.

Compelled

I am compelled to write

So as the sun can’t help but shine
So is the pen that I call mine

So as the trees can’t help but grow
So does the page I’ve come to know

And of a bird that doesn’t fly
         Perhaps, I know the reason why
To cage the

Compelled By Love

How does your wonderful spirit cling to me as I go through this glorious life day by day?
I know not what may come but I do know that God holds the future as your spirit leads the way.
Those who know the God within, know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Without the creator's

Compelled 
David J Walker

The sad part of this obsession is
Knowing how unprofitable it will always be

Language leanings in different directions
Confessions of the soul count for nothing

A mornings reflection in vivid description 
Serving only a fraction of lost and forgotten temptations

The torments of love yet unexplained 
Colors unnamed

Secrets never revealed  
Clouds proudly morphing into forms

Premium MemberAre You Compelled To Carry Jesus Cross - Matthew 27: 27-32

Let us go now to the scene of crucifixion
Jesus, God's son was being mocked
the crowds were calling crucify him
where were His disciples? nowhere shocked!

Meanwhile Jesus was stripped of His honour
given a scarlet robe put on to wear
twisted thorns to crown Him as a king
spat upon Him such mockery they did glare!

This is the king of

Compelled

I'm compelled to do right
Even if others are wrong
I can't play stupid games
I've done this before...

I'm compelled to be right
Though I'm living with lies
The bright light emanates
Yet I'm not blind to see truth

I'm compelled to do right
Even if it's for a show
This circus disppoints me
Though I need to get along

I'm compelled to be right
Because I

Compelled

drained by seven withering storms
dessert cactus and prickly thorns
littered was the winding road
that charted highways à la mode  

painted strokes of pastel hues
streaming waves of flowing blues
mountains rose that blocked the sky
eclipse when worlds defy

paths followed on cobblestones
passed fallen heroes and graveyard bones
bridges spanned white-capped waters
life misled like seven daughters

amber waves across fruited plains
garnished

Compelled To Get Off of My Chest

Compelled To Get Off of My Chest

Feel compelled to remove from my chest;
Trump has been big crook like all the rest;
Looked near and far;
Next to Trump are,
And you should be sure to see big nest.

Compelled To Share With You

There was a boy I once talked to
He was tall and brooding and wise
He had no home or direction
And my soul I could see in his eyes
 
In the darkness our secrets we shared.
Even then I found it hard to say how much I cared.
He kissed me soft and he kissed me slow
It took all

Been Compelled For Valediction

With the sparkle experience
Of the warm abdomen, 
I was napping in the gentle, silky womb.
All forced me to turn 
The nap into the sleep
For ever, 	
Not in the uterus, 
But in the world of 
Aborted infants.
At the movement 
When I was separated from you
I clutched you with
A silent sob.

Oh mother
Why don't you give me
An occasion

Compelled

Let me close shut and bring the end of your story
Greave in the pain that I bring as my hears pounds
Limbs of a mantis as they strip in america's glory
Scream into your ear can hear the deafening sounds?
'
The hate I harbor is more than can be expelled
My eyes begin to drown in the devils adrenaline
Break

Premium MemberCompelled

I felt compelled within my spirit
Even though it's icy cold
To go out on the porch for just a minute
To enjoy the works of God

When the door I opened
Beauty and sound did surround
For the sun was rising in the distance
Flashing color all around

The mist was rising in the distance
From the creek down the way
The sky was

Compelled

What motivation drives her infant feet
to push back at the ground she knows so well?
What causes her to suddenly rebel
and with the savage walking world compete?
To pull herself upright on virgin legs - 
were years of crawling all too much to bear?
Or was she quite abruptly made aware
that dirty floors are but for she who
