Sitting in silence is like holding your soul’s hand
I can picture us there side by side where we stand
I hear nothing and everything at the same time
I imagine this is what it sounds like when angels cry
The thoughts dance like ballerina’s around my head
To the sound of no music as I lay still in my bed
With the exception of writing this poem little movement I make
I ponder and think how astonishing it is to be able to create
To conjure up ideas and plans and hopes and dreams of dreams
Like what if thoughts are really laser beams?
It only makes sense because thoughts travel faster than the speed of light
And either build or destroy something like the laser beams might
Thought is a magic power that graces the mind
Like the fact that you’re thinking in order to read this line
You get what I am saying although it seems far fetched
Because I painted a vision for you like a portrait is sketched
I laid down the lines and I did it well
In order to invite you into the story I wanted to tell
You see you need to truly understand why the mind needs silence
Because in stillness your magic power gains vibrance
Awareness becomes a great friend
And you master your thoughts instead of letting them blend
Every painter has a pallett of colors
That never match the same as others
So we must know how to use our paints to create our desires
By taming thoughts that once burned through like wild fire
~Jesus Is Great~
(The Minute poem)
Lord shows that He really cares
He dries our tears
He loves us so
With Him love grow
Come to the Lord, give Him your heart
From Him never part
He'll guide your life
Help you with strife
Read all the signs and watch the sky
Seek Him and see
Jesus is great
Don't wait too late.

Author's Notes: I tweaked the minute poem form by adding a
subtitle line atop each stanza. These subtitles all rhyme with
each other revealing characteristic fervor of this maverick.
~In His Eyes~
(The Minute poem)
In His eyes precious you know
He loves you so
Jesus can save
For you life gave
God in His mercy gives option
With God I'm on
Hear your prayers
Believe He cares
God makes us all unique you see
His love hearts key
Just let him lead
Christ saves indeed!

Writing poems for over six years,
I wonder why I was never a contest winner,
I prayed and prayed to Almighty for a recognition,
One night I heard the voice, you have to enter a contest to win.
Entering a contest is a big chore,
you have to follow so many metaphors,
Acrostic, Anagram, Minute poem rules seem so prohibitive,
I always thought meter was a measuring scheme.
Even if I entered a contest, I would not like to be judged,
Poems are my impulsive feelings, they are my treasures,
Even my treasure might seem like a junk to someone else,
Still, I value my junk, as if it was the best thing in my life.
Even if I entered a contest, I would hold my breath,
I may come first, I may come the very last,
With so many illustrious poets, I don't stand a chance,
Still, I would feel good, I entered and felt like a winner.

(a five minute poem - sorry, that’s all I’ve got)
I came to the university
to get some needed privacy
- to learn about the world
and give adult life a whirl.
I’m up here in the frozen north,
where I expected cold and polar bears
and the pressure of academic cares
- but there’s a storm every week
- my mom, back home, has started to freak.
This weather feels like Florida
should we keep the windows boarded-up?
Can we get the power back?
The butteries are all flooded
- we can’t get snacks!
I think it’s all hilarious
and so far, a peak experience.
This looks like one of my best decisions
in spite of natures interventions.
