I'm of the earth on which I stand,
A God of choice inside a man,
As mountains crumble at my knees,
The fountains rumble toward the seas...
I'm of the wind before the breeze,
Above the storm that bends the trees,
In every gust of air that makes,
Each one of us commit to take...
I'm of the fire and the burn,
The suns desire as it returns,
Forging night and day in flames,
Until your life and death's the same.I'm of
the waters as it flows,
Below its mortar under tow,
Each ripple that becomes a wake,
Quadripuling before the break...
I am the elements combined,
Until a soul that's less divine,
Of earth ,of fire ,of water & air,
Give birth to a higher form of despair....

There is somewhat of a fire stirring deep within,
Look in my eyes, and you'll be able to see where I've been.
I have told you about my world, and how I feel,
Every word is from my heart, and the passion is real.
What has been instilled in me, can't be sold or bought,
Yet the lessons I have learned can be taught.
I have learned to love me in an intimate way,
In the strongest of winds I will not sway.
Iam like a sturdy tree, strong winds I can take,
My boughs may bend , but I will not break.
I have been in some storms, and I have weathered them all,
In the face of adversity, I stand tall.
I have gone to war without an army, only me,
I like the shadow, am full of mystery.
You may never really know the real inner me,
You may never fully understand, why I be like I be.
When you look into my eyes, you may see for yourself,
You may finally understand why I have my self respect.
I am like the stars in Heaven up above,
I only want to be appreciated and loved.
That's the fire stirring dedep within me,
I love me, and am proud to be who I be.
I have desire to excel. I have fire. I had desire and lost but bigger and better things
for me are ahead. I tried they failed. The queen still hails and will live well. Glad that
I'm out of jail. Still have desire to share my gifts with the world had the desire and
the fire since I was a little girl. I know I will be known around the world. The girl
from a small unknown city who never quit because she had that fire and desire that
would burn through many many many millions of Oscar Meyers.

When the crickets sing in September
My heart smiles as I remember.
Sweet mountain moments of childhood
Of fall time harvest and firewood.
Picking apples then trimming the trees
The buzzing sound of thousands of bees.
Chestnuts and walnuts and musky morning dew
Clearing the garden and canning too.
Fall time bon fire of burning brush
Cold crisp air and the migrating rush.
The old jeep knocking and chain saw buzzing
Pole ax whacking and fire wood stacking.
Beautiful colors everywhere
Dogs barking and running here and there.
The killing frost and first snowflakes
Roasting turky and pies that were baked.
These fond memories are a treasure
Much greater than one can ever measure.

Small minds put together,
Small things and when
The fire bell rings, the
Minds wonder why,
They didn't innovate,
Or add a thinker,or
A blinker to warn people
For the day of destruction.
Small minds think they're,
Superior and quite often,
The thought patterns ,
Are inferior, and the,
Interior as well as the,
Exterior may look supreme,
But it is really not pristine,
Because the small minds,
Have thought themselves
About the biggest being,
Who knows about everything.
The omncient being is beyond
Proficient in building all things
And can outlast any fire bell
Rings. Brilliant minds put
Together grand things with
The help of biggest being
And generations to come
End up seeing it expand
And understand that the
Structure is truly superior
And it stands strong from
The interior to the exterior
And their minds have to
Muscle past logic to
Compare with the
Small minded ,
Inferior infrastructure.
