Glancing down from breathless heights,
Amidst climey sighs,
The looming colossus awakens from slumber
And stretches across Thelwalls linear skies.
The hot engines hissing steam -
Recalled from fond memories long back -
Tumbling like huffing little rain clouds
Down from the...

Giving advice is a great way to start;
they may not listen from the very beginning,
but ponder they will until their heart
makes changes and starts loving and living.


Helping partners grow in all their ability and amplitude;

I once held a mountain above my head
Moving away from the light beneath its shadow
The many sorrows, frustrations of life my feelings
Held above my head growing heavier with every step
Until one night I stumbled and...

Today's  mentality and attitude 
is not as sound as it was yesterday,
and the chosen path didn't diverge
from the distant past so affected
by the miracles that happened, but
the skeptical was the arrant liar...
desecrating and devaluing...

When the sinking feeling rises
	He hopes it floats on rainbow bubbles
                 Until the dredges clear once more

We all know that hunger exist we needn't even go out the door
For it is right there in our very midst as that never ending war

Miraculously this morning
The clouds parted in the heavenly skies;
Ascending down on wings of a dove,
Our savoir did gloriously arrive.

He gathered his children,
Pure of heart,
Eager to follow him home;
I, among others,
When he did depart,

misery.

Old company from years before I ever met joy.

I have shut the door in your face in recent years,

Tucked you in the back of the closet to hang on your own. I know...

Clamped to grit the whip-cracked jaws, 
Sprung the trap on mice and man, 
Drove a stake and honed the claws 
Of greed fatigue in Trojan wars.

I hope whoever is reading these words,
May they read into your life in some way
Let us go and walk down by the river's edge
Clear our minds of the negative dredges. 

First, reach deep, deeper down...

Summertime soothes and refreshes,
Softens our rough edges,
Lifts us from life’s dredges
And grants fresh feel meshes.
Spring announces time to go out
By popping newness all about.
Spring wakes all our senses
So we drop droopy defenses
And allow summer’s coming...

Loud, braggadocios, belching
Shouting sentiments and prophysying plays 
As your body disintegrates
And dredges your kidneys fail and your legs lilt frail 
Yet you claim life loud and braggadocios.
The football game gimmicks
The baseball booboos...

Divine Love

God's love is unconditional,
Like the sun in the morning
It is intentional,
Like invisible streams in the desert
His love is liquid,
Regardless of what we do,
And it transcends to touch us-
Even though we don't deserve it 
He...

In a world of dark alleys, and jagged blades
And faded they lay in the gutters of life
Passed over and buried in twisted crimes

In a world of dim passages and crooked knives
And parched...
