Children
Children will always remember the void, They will always recall the hands that couldn’t embrace them. They will always remember the troubles that nightfall brings, And the darkness that invades their slumber. They will always remember the stranger who masqueraded as a helper. Yet, children can sometimes bloom out of...

The New Call of the River Nun
From the rising sun in the east To casted shadows after dark in the west, Our tribal marked faces show, A timeless story, aglow. Seasons come and go, Hiding shades and dimmed sparks. Beneath the sprawling swamps, Cornering meandered mangroves, Our roots run deep, Anchored in attires of legacy. Our heads see without light, Guided by old wisdom unspoken. Truth and strength wrap us, Like leaves hiding the...

Sunbeam warms my face, drags me faintly from my dreams-- the hush of morning covers me in tranquil vow, a new chance to start again. Sun peeps through curtains, gets under my dozy skin- day begins with hope. ...

We are all broken people You see the cooler kids, You really don't fit in... Try not to let your frustration show You don't know what to do, When other people look at you... Don't worry there's still time to grow Chorus We are all broken people... trying our best to fit in... We are all broken people... The time will come when we will win, Yes...

MISSING HER LIKE BREATH
She's steadily Keeping me busy Even when I'm idle She's always on my mind Because I miss her like breath She's an idol She's always racing in my mind.

THE SPARK AND THE FLAME
The Spark and the Flame It’s easy to rise when the fire is new, To chase bold dreams the moment they brew. But sparks burn quick, and passion may tire, Without the fuel of steady fire. Discipline walks where impulse fades, Through winding roads and shadowed shades. Consistency, the thread unseen, That stitches the path where goals are led, And makes dream come true...

A Poem for a Year's Ending
By Michael Parker Days have flown quickly by like fearsome comets. Here then gone; here then gone. My hair is colored moonlight.
