The Lighter Side of Faith
The sun provides me light from without
My faith provides it from within
On days when no light shines on my skin
What’s within dispels any doubt

Lighter side of things
The road is long,
unexpected happenings
I found the perfect place to live,
not knowing the crisis I would endure
The waves rolled in,
The world spun around me
As I literally fought for my life
While I recover, I have many thoughts
I don't focus on the disruption to my new peaceful place
I am grateful for the timing, the lighter side of

The Lighter Side of Antisemitism
For those who want to ‘kill all the Jews’

Get a rabbi to extend Passover one more week
You’ll love what will have been wrought

On the Lighter Side
I don’t like the da, da da, da dark
Keep the nightlight on, please!
I would rather sit in the park
With the Sun always on, you see
I for real really don’t like the dark
Especially when evil lurking shadows
Leep out at me, sneak up on me
I would really rather be
Kneading

Blood vs Water
A heavenly mix,
that gives a perfect fix.
They say blood is thicker than water,
a reverberating old proverb.
But, I object!!!
Course in the world I am living,
water is magic.
In the world I am living,
water is no different.
It can be lighter, but it is an anchor,
And blood can be thicker, but predominantly bitter.
Hence, the concept is invalid
to me, if

My Cigarette Lighter
Vicky my poor widow and maid
I had to pause
and write you this page
A passing though my love has made
to mention you and the love I caged
My sight was your prisoner
when ever you were around
Desire well known deceptive clown
I fought the worlds reality
and defeat it with eternity
My love will out live time itself
A piece of my

The Savior of the World - 2
There are times when I seek Him
With all my heart and soul
But just can’t seem to see Him
In the life where I know
He is keeping me from harm
Kissing me with light
Whispering peace into my thoughts
And coloring me in hues of hope
There are moments when I yearn
To touch His heart with my own
But I just can’t

Beautiful Black Girl
Beautiful Black Girl
Beautiful black girl your shade is divine, your silky lacquer skin looks so rich against mine. You are so beautiful, in time you will know it, you will be refined.
I lived so long with the shame of being so dark. I did everything I could, I scrubbed as if my skin

Lighter Than a Cloud
Would not my eyes express delight
to see the flash upon the water bright
As porpoise play on mornings dawning day
I follow them and dance along the way
Could not my heart be lighter then a cloud
as rise the sun to lift my sleepy shroud
then greet some friends and smile in unison
we weave our days with love that

An Empty Lighter
I found fire
in the house
without a spark.
A whisper
snapping through flint.
I found fire
in me.
I looked up
and the blue orange evening sky
was there, and so was everything.
And the silent movement
of my face smiling
made me a flame

The Lighter Side
The lighter side, always the best
Laughter dissolves all pain
Acting not at ego’s behest
Worries to rest are lain
Learn from laughing Buddha
Pure life, free from stigma
Alpha and Omega
Joy throbs inside
The lighter side
