It's Good To Be Bible Right.It's Good To Be Bible Right
It's good to be Bible right,
In these days and times,
With thought of doing God's will,
Afresh in our minds.
We will all need the Bible,
To examine our lives,
To see where we stand,
In doing this we are wise.
If it convicts us,
Then we need to get right,
If it helps and inspires us,...

Sometimes Not Only The Mountains Shine
There is a legend deep in the Montana territory,
The ancient tale of the shiny mountains that only few can see.
Those majestic peaks soar upward almost piercing the clear blue sky,
Yet one knows the real shine lies deep inside.
Hidden deep inside the mountains it waits patiently,
Waiting for that chosen one to set it free.
Soon...

While The Sky Still BurnsDrink deep the wine of the waking sun—
Its golden breath spills over trembling hills,
And morning, that fragile and flaring drum,
Beats wild against time’s shrinking quills.
The hour is ripe with unsung fire,
A tapestry woven from wind and flame.
Step out — no fear, no false desire —
The world does not wait, nor call your name.
The robin’s hymn...

WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE
Knowing what you know now about life…
from the knowledge you’ve acquired every time you win…and every time you lose…
If you could, this moment, determine how to live the rest of your years…
which attributes would you choose?
Below you’ll find a partial list…for your convenience printed alphabetically…
all answers to the question…Who would I like to be?
Accepting
Beautiful, Brave
Compassionate,...

Crayon Box DreamsWhen days of dreary tropes could feel no duller,
and gray heavens escape my pencil’s reach,
—oh misery!, it can’t be set to speech,—
my crayon box dreams of unbridled color!
When weeks waste precious hues for wanton squalor,
my paintings doning the pale death of bleach,
—or worse!—, if poetry can no more teach,—
my crayon box prays for fuller color!
Woe!Woe!Woe!—unto...

Bend, Don't BreakShe walks through storms—not afRaid, but awake,
With calm in hEr bones though the skies may break.
Time doesn’t heal—it only weatherS the ache,
Yet she plants her feet In the burn and the quake.
When dreams collapse, she quietLy repairs
The fragments of joy and Innocent prayers.
HEr grin may be torn, but it still holds grit—
A threadbare map with...

To new beginnings
ahhh... the crisp feel of the new notebook
its spine never cracked open
its pages of virgin white perfectly aligned
awaiting their marching orders
eager for all and any pen markings
from sunday best handwriting to doodles
inviting playful interaction
your creative élan of spontaneity
random thoughts splashed on a page
scripted lines scribbled to offload
a mind seeking clarity, peace or absolution
seeking a semblance...

Never againNever again
Run away from danger
Oh you man of value
Listen to the call of nature
It holds a destiny for everyone
It will show you the way out
From a Trapped world
Hold on to your pains
Keep your light on
Remember
No one is coming to save you
From a dying world...

Keep Moving
This is a season for peace but
not where the war rages,
not as our country men die,
not as the grill burns human
flesh and the sky rains ash.
My dear friends,
do not tire out as the bombs drop,
As the gangs plunder,
our babies starve,
and friends go missing.
As the water dries out,
as the chasm widens,
when moon shows no light
and...

Identity Crisis
Long after midnight
in late December
woke one night in total fright
as where I was did not remember
but more importantly
couldn't see
the forest for the trees
and did not recall myself at all
or who exactly was this me
but when I could
it would feel so good
as then I'd be out of the woods
so instead of groping blind
did quite the obvious...

I RANI ran not out of fright,
I ran not because I was chased.
I ran not because I felt compelled,
Nor from some urging to flee from something or someone.
I ran not because others did,
I ran not because I'm an idealist at heart.
I ran not because...

Don't Waist Your WishesIt's that special day and you stroll the lonely beach, when out of nowhere you stub your toe on a lamp that falls right out of reach.
Suddenly, a genie arises and looks deeply into your eyes. In your mind you hear a whisper, three wishes I will grant as long as you don't tell...

WhipI need a break, a minute’s breath of space;
The furious tempo driving me along,
a fussy temper, fervent all day long
to strive, stress, toil, scramble to keep the pace—
—the pace of a spent poet keeping face;—
enough to numb a hand that once inked strong
words, and made paper sound loud as a gong.—
and what a base...

A Snippet in Time

for inspiration, it’s best to leave rock
Unless of course, a rocking chair is meant
in which case I dare not dissent

The Turtle and the HareDid you know that Turtle soup,
Is a favorite of the group?
What a shame to taste so good,
When you do as turtles should.
Rabbits run a faster race,
Turtles try to keep the pace,
But they cannot match the speed,
When a rabbit takes the lead.
Rabbits too are tasty treats,
When they pay for their defeats,
But the turtles always face,
Someone faster...
