Feeble Trump called out Joe Biden
He’s messed up and always hidin'
Who botched Pacific 
Is not terrific
And his approval’s now slidin'!

MEDIATION

A couple of days ago 
I had an encounter 
It was very educational 
Many lives in illusion 
They're very delusional
If you're not aware
You'll fall in their well
Then You start living in a warfare.

They believe in illusion 
Which is void
Thinking it's reality 
No wonder 
Christ was crucified 
The truth is really bitter 
They all like sugar

Premium MemberFollowing a Fence Line

fence’s formidable periphery
enclosed more than I could ever see
I walked it at eight, was still gone by three
the length of this fence has amazed Tim and me
Tim is a bull I discovered along the way
I wanted to ride him back, but he said “no way!”

When I Call

I heard His name once in a story
It brought tears and joy alike
God would never let me down
I will love Him with all my might
The lessons I've learned following Jesus
Have taught me wisdom and great love
When I call He'll come from above
Yes He will come from up above

Fair Winds and Following Seas

Could it be everything happens for a reason,
Or is it something one usually would say.
Kindred spirits that have roamed 
Through space and time,
Sharing moments and a history of past lifetimes.
Always by chance our paths happened to meet,
Always ending  with just a memory.
A memory that endures through lifetimes,
Precious memories that linger in the
Backroads of one’s

The following fictitious scenario I evoke

The following fictitious scenario I evoke

Analogous to fire breathing 
puffed up imaginary dragon
(in a land called Honah Lee)
ye might rightly think
what the deuce
haunting spectre ace of spades 
goodfella aiming to be a poet all about,
meaning sexagenarian wordsmith,
this once upon a time jackanapes
presently decked out like cadaverous card 

still sporting fine kingly raiment
and crown of thorns

Following the heart of my Father

Liken of lavender and honey cone;

Premium MemberFollowing Me-From the Inside

I try to escape
From you there's no place to hide
Following me inside

I rub my eyes twice
You walk through walls like a ghost
How do I let go?

Along comes silence
And the prison that that brings
Time to think of things

Got to get on home
Fell down the well beaten path
Fallout aftermath

If you can’t catch me
Don't just stand there, walk

Following the darkest I went to light

Following the darkest, I went to light
A journey through shadows, into dawn's sight
From depths of despair, I rose above
And found solace in hope, a labor of love

Through darkness I wandered, lost and alone
Until I stumbled upon a radiant throne
Where light and love reigned, and banished my fears
And bathed my soul in warmth, through joyful tears

In

Be a following my life

Let you be my kind of loving and fearing. Drop me your life, and get my kind
Let us find, together, and I will pay the fine. I know, I am a bead, but you take me to you 
– kind of like

A kind of like. It’s nothing. Following us a life,

Premium MemberThe Shadows Following Apparitions

like shadows they follow us
they tell their stories 
on pages 
that may or may not 
be seen, or read,
we a'muse them -

"we", of course, are truly inconsequential
in the greater scheme of things;

they are like ghosts
echoing their called hauntings,
we catch the vibrations of them,
every now and then, 
the faint echoes of stilted messages 
they are magnificently

Premium MemberFollowing Hope

If I never wrote another word, praising this light who silences doubts…
If I never felt the leading of His touch, 
The promise of His endless care…

If I never knew what it is to feel the love that assures me He’s here,
If I never felt the need to pray and praise…
The One who lived and died,

How Long

How long can rolling waters stay
impure in their decree?
How long can all the world behold 
the many signs they see,
and not consider what is meant,
and come to understand -
the fig tree has sent forth her leaves,
the summer’s nigh at hand.

What power can stay the heavens?
Does the world possess the force?
Can man with puny arm turn
