Premium Member The Ocean is a Wild Beast

The ocean is a wild beast that I approach cautiously.
I submit to its undertow. It makes me laugh expansively.
I dive in, never turn my back, never quite relaxing.
It wants to rush at me, my irises on pins and needles.
A wave becomes a wall, tugs sand from my soles.
Joyful duet of wind and surf, salt and coconut oil.
I’d run from your potent power, when you’re enraged.
But I feel coddled, serene in your sweet rock’n lullaby.

pay attention, don’t be flippant.

hurricane fool’s gold
color of its eye’s smart
   furious body
with draconic scales that chew
up a crew, its sails with ship

bodies buried, some scoundrels survive.

allows for great whites
to float under the riff raff
   afloat for seconds
humorous gaff of the sea
its tenderized meat

hidden away in God’s shadow, a treasure.

sweet rock’n lull’by
for one who respects elders
   Moses’ mother prays
as zephyr-salt, warm blue skies
gently guide love back to shore

Premium Member Selection Day

Selection day we have no voice,
selection day a lump’s in my throat;
Selection day two court jesters
argue over the final straw;

Selection day we are not ready,
selection day just the beginning;
Selection day we’ll wait in line
wondering and wishing for hope;

Selection day we have no choice,
Any option is just a delusion;

Selection of burgundy or oily blue;
Why can’t anyone live with purple? 
Selection nonexistent in a rematch,
lightning isn’t supposed to strike twice; 

Selection day mimics a time bomb,
selection day anticipating detonation;
Selection day on pins and needles 
waiting on our country’s buzzword;

Awoken but yet forsaken this morning,
Selection day we have no choice.

I Wonder If I Will Ever Be Well

The more I try to keep in the more I feel cold
Let me open up and let the story be told
My childhood was really rough
I cannot believe I made it through all of this stuff
I felt like I was trapped inside of a cage
Trying to dodge the uncontrollable rage
On pins and needles I had to walk
I couldn’t show emotion or freely talk
Now my problems are truly deep
I often nocturnal or cry myself to sleep
This wasn’t the life that I chose
I’ve had to live with it and bury all of my woes
Growing up this way was so unkind\
I lock it all away in the back of my mind
These secrets someday I will have to tell
I wonder if I will ever be well

I wrote this one after someone opened up to me.  I hope their life gets better

Making It Great In 2008 (Part 4): In the Lord's Supper Partake

in order to make the 2008 great, just receive the Lord Jesus Christ
and then everything will simply come to an accord in your life
as most of our worries and anxieties occur because we have not learn to trust
to trust in the Lord God and know that He will take care of us
we're constantly on pins and needles when there really is no need
we're unwilling to let go and to God concede
Jesus told us to come to Him in any form or fashion
but to come to Him with an honest heart and a true passion
as God has already put all of our blessings into place
it's just up to us to accept Him in all His wisdom and His grace
to recognize the hand of God and how He works in your life
to bow down to his authority and that of His son's Jesus Christ
to develop the patience of a man like Job and learn to wait in time
God might put you on hold so just stay on the line
as all things come together for those who love the Lord
and all you have to do is honor Him in accord
 
in order to make the year 2008 great 
in the Lord's Supper you should partake
to eat of the bread and drink of the wine
the body of Christ and the blood from the vine
to find your joy in the Lord and on the Word meditate
to find contentment with your life and in the Spirit congregate
pray to the Lord and then put the situation in His hands
pray to the Lord and trust in His master plans
thank Him always and then go count your blessings
thank Him always that you're no longer stressing
there may be many things you might not have, but that's okay
for those things may be a hindrance to you and make you from God go astray
just stay on the highway of life that is morally true and straight
and every month in the Lord's Supper you should partake

In rememberence of Him who died for our sin and our shame
In rememberence of Him the One with the most powerful name

so step up to the Lord's table and don't falter nor hesitate
and in the Lord's Supper partake and celebrate
and that's how to make the year 2008 great

Premium Member GRADUATION HAT AND TASSEL THROW

Master your time
Value the experience from your school days
Your School seemed tough
You were determined enough
Success was always running through your mind
The concepts became a challenge
The knowledge was a privilege
It felt like hard knocks

You studied, researched and mattered

Sometimes visit and reflect on you during your school years
Always share your memories with others

Pins and Needles

Another song written in middle school - edited of course. ;)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse 1]
I'm trapped within these walls
Never to leave at all
I am the prisoner inside my own home
My spirit is broken
I do not believe
I'm locked in this chamber which I cannot leave 
[Chorus]
The needles that break the skin
The anger that runs within
I’m giving it all away
Just to stay alive
The needles that pierce my veins
It will never be the same
We’re on pins and needles now 
It’s how we survive
[Verse 2]
They say he’ll find me soon
Got to get out of this room
The blood will spill and he’ll take what he wants to
I’ll never let him through
GET OUT OF MY DREAM
He whispers in darkness, “I’m not who I seem…”
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
The four walls around me
They start to close in
I know I’m too late now 
I know I can’t win
So just tell me I’m crazy 
It’s all in my head
You’re not the killer
And I am not dead
[Chorus]
[Breakthrough] 
Don’t tell me it’s impossible
To start it all over again
Infection sinks through your pale skin
You’ll curse the day that I’m dead
[Chorus]

Premium Member The Wild Goose Chase

THE WILD GOOSE CHASE*

I accidentally let one loose
did you see that thing vamoose?
It gave me the slip, did you see?
Now that thing is awfully free.

I walk on pins and needles, friend.
Trying to find, I twist and bend.
You ask why I pull up the rug,
why I pull out every plug.

I raise my hands over my head
and flip over each unmade bed.
I flip out, scratch, harrumph, grumble,
dash around corners, stumble.

At night I turn off all the lights,
sit in the corner, battle bites.
I listen for terrible sounds.
My eyes dart round and round and round.

Afraid of where that thing will land —
on the mountain or in the sand.
I feel empty of all this gas.
I miss the sound of golden brass

and the smog that liquifies eyes,
the way your ribbon twists and lies.
The putrefaction of butt —
the stinker where we blame the mutt!

Your Purpose

We're all searching for a purpose
That makes this all seem worth it
A life that is fulfilling 
Pray that God is willing

Spending time high and low
Taking life to and fro
On pins and needles in our mending
Hoping to sew a happy ending

Some folk find along the way
It's true in what some people say
There is no higher purpose
Than that of serving others

It takes the focus off one's self
And puts it onto someone else
With the filling of several needs
As on both sides blessings intercede

So give to those in need you find
Having received less from their lot in life
You will find that it is worth it
When you find this is your purpose
