ChildrenChildren 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...

I'm Standing In This River
O’ I am standing in this river, in its waters clear and pure
Washing away my troubles until they are no more
Accusations are beneath me, they’re not even worth my time
I can see right through you baby, I was never born blind
My visions as clear as that water running beneath my feet
There will come a day...

Heavenly light new song versionAn end of life prayerful song!
Heavenly Light
Dark days have come....
my life is ending
My days are numbered...
but, I'm unafraid
I have no regrets...
except I must leave her
My days are numbered...

So don't you worry,
don't fret about me...
I'll always be with you...
in your...memory

Shine on my pathway...to eternity
Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me

The New Call of the River NunFrom 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...

Morning LightSunbeam 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.

PRIOR TO INTENT: Dawn's First LightDAWN'S FIRST LIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
silence at daybreak.
sacred encounter with the Divine,
a conference of heart and soul.
beyond form, beyond language
heart beats, an echo,
a pulse vibrating through the silence.
wordless intent,
unvoiced
yet profoundly clear~
a stirring,
a flicker of grace
captures the dawn.
my soul meets God's pulse
I am led
I am unbound.

We are all broken people new song versionWe 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 BREATHShe'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.
My mind is flooded
With thoughts of her
I think I'm addicted to her
A moment without her
It's the moment of hell
She's my heaven, the one I lean on.
I've been lost
In her way
Without...

THE SPARK AND THE FLAMEThe 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...

KnowingHe wanted to uncover the truth,
but he never anticipated the path he would take—
the one that led him to his nightmare,
the one that revealed the other self.
He understood what he sought to know,
That sometimes the truth is the darkness hidden within the chamber.
July 30, 1979.

A Poem for a Year's EndingBy Michael Parker
Days have flown quickly by like fearsome comets.
Here then gone; here then gone.
My hair is colored moonlight.
My bones are brittle as the limbs
of the trees cracking
from the touch of winter’s deepening freeze.
If I could disclose a secret, it is
suffering has visited me like an old...
