If Mother Earth Came Forth Today
If Mother Earth came forth today
she'd throw her hand up, and would say.
"Oh my dear world what have you done?
Look closely at what you've become."
Humanity with no regard
to live in peace can't be too hard!
Destruction, pillage, selfish greed,
all comes from want, and not from need.
You strip the trees, the soil is bare
You mine my lands

Come Forth
Hear God’s shout across the skies,
Calling your name - no more surprise.
Come Forth! He says, with a rocking voice,
Foundations stir, they know His holy voice,
Let the miraculous realm arise,
A flood of wonder before your eyes.
A new unction-oil begins to pour,
From heaven’s gate to your troubled soul.
It will replace the sigh with song,
A shout

Come forth our Angel of the North Stokesy
Come forth our Angel of the North
Working class…but VIP pass…standing sentry for cricketing gentry
Towering injury tarnished Talisman penury
Revarnished..primacy rebooted for his mooted destiny and legacy
Poetry in motion..the emotion
The devotion..our commotion potion
Rejuvenation
India rue what Stokes does imbue
Hadn’t got a clue what to do
Trepidation…procrastination..then damnation
Stewed…then skewed..eschewed..slewed and screwed by the
Hullabaloo dude..voodoo feud…hoodoo mood and rude juju

ANT SPRINGS FORTH-
newness calms new day
season dawns a little dot
moves cross the pavement

On the paths of destiny, merging in the eternal labyrinth, our steps carry us forth
On the paths of destiny, merging in the eternal labyrinth, our steps carry us forth,
the vagabond and the artist seek their wings in the flight of an unforgiving dream's worth.
The soul, an ocean of desires and doubts, seeks a firm rock amidst the storm's embrace,
in the sea of uncertainties, where light and shadow entwine their

Go Forth
The struggles and challenges are real
Go forth in the upcoming years
Have no fear but many cheers
Gather strength by accepting the right deal
The deal is give up or fight
For me the end of the road is in sight
There will be delight in the light
Hold Tight

Calling Forth
Etching my name immortal
the words when left my pen
Take on a new perspective
beyond both me and them
Etching all time eternal
the future is renamed
Calling forth beyond true north
— my destiny reclaimed

A dirge in PRAISE of MGonagall's Forth Bridge
A poetaster I will always be
Renowned throughout eternity
For wonky metres and dodgy rhymes
Amongst my other versifying crimes
Like dull images and dreary words
Not to the liking of animals and birds
Whom Orpheus charmed with lyrics rare
While my efforts they just cannot bear
McGonagall is the master to whom I bow down
The man who merits the peerless crown
Of

I see your smile
It embraces me
Tender earlobes listening

Holy-Wholly sweet lips speaking

His breaths in us
God listens graces us eyes vison
His Holy renditions

Back and Forth
Back and forth
The words shoot across
Slicing through my pale quivering skin
Sometimes there’s no pause for air
As the hate spews from both sides
I’m torn between the love I created
And the love that I have chosen
There’s no winning tonight
And it’s only just begun

I SO COME FORTH ONTO THE EARTH-
A day in a night that has changed
A twenty-four hour period
God stands outside of time
He watches over all things
Although I am one of His offerings
I am His
A week has come and gone
The universe still sets above
I am encased, embraced in His arms
I am a child of the living King
He reigns on heaven and earth
Elohim creator
