And hear You beckoning

I see You with arms stretched wide
Wrapping me in gentle embrace
A memory of salvation
Redemption — mirrored in Your frame

I whisper softly
“I don’t...

...Todd was surprised by his stern eyes,
he seemed serious about it.

The peeping moon breaks through grimy windows
Mocking me as the mantel clock chimes the cheerless Midnight
Another day laid to waste
The poet’s canvas unblemished
Harmonizing with...

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
©Alfreda Williamson
July 2, 2004

How we lived, day to day
When little things still had intrinsic worth?

without rise
of my eyes
sanguine skies
blushed against
pale skin
as folded hands rest

fear not

Look around, it's so profound, increasing lawlessness as it abounds

Increasing lawlessness  is everywhere, the unjust governments are so unfair

There is no equality among men, and on earthling men we should never depend
