The dark of night does not know
the light as it curates dawn
of a new day rising bright
with a sweetened smorgasbord
of color touching the tongues
of nature thirsty for hope
in a world gone dry with hate
seasoned with our children's blood.

The Hope That Rises In The Eastern SkyThat great light in the sky burns with abandon.
Its light shines down on us like a gold halo.
Today we will walk in its perfect splendor.
With no shade to foil its faust endevor.
The common birds fly with feathers of fancy.
And wrap them around the young in their high home.
Soon comes the dark counter when night brings...

King of Kings
Remind me, Lord – that You have heard, whatever comes, whatever this life brings, I know the King who writes His light over the spirit… gently revealing, a love that never leaves, a hope that always brings assurance of the King of Kings.
Let His blessings flow,
A river to sooth my soul
Lifting my heart, ‘tis all...

TO DREAMING DREAMS OF REALITYTO DREAMING DREAMS OF REALITIES
Why, only in dreams do we become entirely free
From the gloom and doom of our present melee?
Why, in dreams only, do we become entirely free,
Flying high in the sky, free as we always wanted to be?
Why can’t I dream dreams of visions I can mold
Into dreams of realities, fulfilling missions of...

The Berlin WallDrenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense.
Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence.
Put here to stop free choice by man,
To keep him from becoming all that he can.
To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams.
To in flick hurt and pain, I can hear the screams.
Today, though they’ve been...

There is joy in the world
By Michelle Morris

There is joy in the world
But sometimes we're too busy to notice
Every bird that heralds the morn
Every sunrise that brightens our day
Every sunset and starry sky and aurora
Every colour and sound ever displayed
Every rainbow and cloudscape we treasure
Every...

EclipseIn the shadow of an eclipse, where worry takes its flight,
The burden of strife can weigh you down,
Yet in each moment of pain, in the depths of sorrow’s night,
A spark of sunshine glimmers, a whispering sound.
When loss feels like a mountain, an insurmountable wall,
And anguish...

When Their Whispers Became Too LoudIn the stillness of darkness
mockery, lies, gossips like air arise
dragging you down, for a penny sake
Abuse of power just for wealth.
Who would have thought of these silent moves?
Cheating on a poor innocent
While still in a dungeon of fire in a
gloomy weekly days and nights in lost paradise.
The so-called "smile" is a shadowed
for the world to...

Without Fear
It’s the darkness, flooding the silent room
A still so bitter it flows, splashing fears
Weary as the moments I would never presume
Pierce the heart with feelings, frantic tears
It’s the night, breathing in echoes of anxiety
Murmuring shadows who still the soul
Wiping out the silhouettes of notoriety
Following the screams of a dread’s control
It’s the dusk, ending twilight’s...

Fragile ThreadDon't push me to the brink
Where life's spark starts to fade,
Lest I lose the will to live,
And hope's light is betrayed.

The Crown of CrueltyIn a realm where kindness has vanished,
Where no light dares to appear,
The echoes of darkness reign,
Majestic and cruel in their sphere.
Sharp tongue, slice like a knife in depth
as you speak.
A flashy eye glare soothes your skin
as you walk past.
Words are full of deception, discrimination,
hatred of your color, identity as you-a settler

TO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAYTO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY
Because you are in it,
This is a blessed day
To enjoy and be glad in:-
While some have been called in,
You have been given another day
To be an instrument of His Peace
And a daily reflector of His Love:-
Despite the painful challenges,
This day will confront you with,
Healing grace and divine wisdom
Shall guide...

WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISEWITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE
Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges,
Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones,
So must we be as we continue to struggle
Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:-
As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition,
Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho:
Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude...

Pain holds its insistence
pressed against me
I dream of a misty
selfless new morn
soft as maternal skin
easing me free
with a true smile to greet
a sweet day born!...
