    Had no experience to the rigors at sea.
And their disillusionment grew... on seeing the crew

When I realized I’d been saved to the uttermost

Premium Member Think Outside the Box

If the rubik’s cube was round
And the earth was square
We’d all be living different lives
Sharing a different time
There would be another tune in the air
And our hearts would sing a new song
Would we be aware...

From listening to the heart, the soul

Brave Less
Coward, are those
Who are afraid of change
For change might deprive them
Their Freedom, their Democracy
The liberty to choose
The liberty to live
The liberty not to do such duties and obligations
The liberty to stir the law
The liberty to...

Icicles hang on the edges
Silence creeping into the conversation
Revealing the boredom of this skirt
Tendrils of frozen water suspended
On hearts, hopes and dreams

Moonlight flickers on the night
Ebony haven of owl and coyote
Animals wild and warmed by...

In the labyrinth of bone-like thoughts, where the echo of pain ricochets madly,
I desperately seek a prosthesis for my soul, maimed by life and disappointments.
Where is the cosmic workshop that forges spare hearts hidden?

Violent as the gleaming blade
Of a vicious criminal crazed
Ferocious as the lion’s jaw
Lingering on an innocent calf
This wicked affliction forces
Its teeth into the harmless heart
Bites wildly into vulnerable flesh
With haste to destroy and devastate
End the...

Letter To Ellen Johnson - Sirleaf

Her swoop and swirl
The skies invisible maze
To feed the inhabitants of her nest
Her milk of gratitude

And the beckoning beaks for food
There is a wind...

The Party Is Over!
Right when I thought I had figured things out, 
FEAR sauntered in and introduced DOUBT.

She walks gingerly back to the pride,

That people are so deeply anxious
Worried beyond what I could believe
Would ever frighten any of our beliefs

Potently searing our dreams and visions

Caught up in the shadowy,
Silhouettes dancing, trembling
Like wings in breathless
Whispers, erasing all the fearless
Memories, blending worry
With confusion, desperation
Despair and sin’s onslaught stirring

Even the light that remains,
Where history portrays...
