I still recall my earliest of dreams
Those summer afternoons spent in the shade
A grass stained T-shirt, old cut off blue jeans
A pickle jar filled with cold lemonade
I never once believed they would come true
I guess that you might say those dreams were free
The reason why they did not make me blue
I left them there beneath that old shade tree
But in the years to come, how things would change
My broken dreams began to take their toll
I questioned if my path was prearranged
As one by one I failed to reach my goals
I started gently, rowing down life's stream
But can not say this life is but a dream

This is a story about a man
who deepsea-dived to another land.
Where forests of kelp grow so high
they can almost glimpse the blue of the sky.
Where darting fish play in a waterfall,
the man followed a sea nymph's call.
She was an octopus, he was a man,
this meeting designed by a non-mortal hand.
He followed her as she gathered her meals
and when she hid from a predator's zeal.
She knew he was there but would not interfere
with her meanderings far and near.
One day one tentacle touched his hand,
and their differences fell away like the sand.
Each day they swam, he not too near,
but she always sensed his presence there.
She became a creature of magnificent grace
touching his hand, caressing his face.
Finally, she lay her body upon his chest,
her farewell gift for his earnestness.
The next time he dived she had company:
her mate, which he knew he could never be.
He watched her give birth then, as prearranged,
she must forfeit her life in sea's equal exchange.
Weaker she grew as the days swam past
until she became part of the sea at last.
The pain was deep as he watched her leave.
Their unearthly bonding he silently grieved.
He knew sea creatures' lives can be swift;
but grateful he was given this special gift.
He learned a sea creature's ability to love
a man who, one day, appeared from above.
A beautiful saga about life and the sea
and a man embraced by its majesty.
Simply told, this story is true.
A man, an octopus, and the love they knew.
They found her slumped against the bed that morn,
A bathrobe loosely pulled about her waist,
A folded pile of clothes that she had worn,
No sign that death had come with any haste.
No indications untoward or strange,
Except perhaps that she was on the floor.
You got the sense that this was prearranged;
It made you think there might be something more.
From underneath the bed skirt could be seen
A Bible, worn and loved, that much was clear.
You pulled it out to see what it might mean,
And now you understood what happened here.
“Your lamp, keep full; your wick, keep lit and trimmed.
Behold! The bridegroom comes; go meet with him.”

For Sandy
Karma is but a word for the seeds that you sow
Surely you have heard and certainly you know
For nothing is by chance nor was it prearranged
So you have your stance but mine has never changed
For each act that you do and every evil you commit
Will soon be resting with you right where you sit
It is not of any fate or a superscribed destiny
For you needn't even wait as in how soon you will see
But if God you discredit His Word shall still come to be
It's the Bible if you read it that would allow you to see
So a curse or a blessing would be a much better phrase
In this matter of faith I'm addressing in these latter days
So to whom you give the credit shall always shape your day
As it is much easier to admit that it's just part of His Way
And with every seed that you sow in each deed that you do
All those seeds will continue to grow right inside of you
Another Saturday of middle men gathers, save one, be another weekend passes, mumbling about, till I spoke out, forgive me, this be the truth of it.
'Tis but a few words, that I lent to friends ears, a course set to change,
for heard they, of a raw web unspun, perchance 'tis innocence had a part of it.
Furthered loan lobes, of fate's mired pace, that weld's their chest so tight,
it held the breadth of them, a chance to swim in its currents of a tenuous life.
A friend astrayed, from our prearranged meets of jovial matter, 'tis cavorting,
leads to a quietude, a disturbing view of jaws, 'twas given a shot of novocaine.
Reveal I to them, of a sacred trust, known only to me, and now our friends,
as a harp strums an unsung tune, strands of arrows tender points, prepares.
A test on a piece of paper, whose strength enough to shred an unstable heart,
and bring a man of untold years, of the worth that remains--a small sum it be.
No tear was spared on a solid face, that offers free slides of it, to yon floor,
pooling whispers of ancient values that will spirit a hospital room's brief use.
Sounds of car doors, engine revs, as the voice of gps's unattainable reach,
of heartbeat's ascent,'tis be a final race, rally they must, for the one of them.
A room of jovialness spreads, cavorting returns to normalcy, dry eyes rounds,
yet I see the truth of it, for they drown in tear-filled dams of fortuitous eyelids, all.
*October of last year, its earlier half, my colonoscopy test result reveals one polyp, and during the interim of its results, our friend passes away. A day before the funeral, a prerecorded message states it was benign. All of us had ourselves checked out. I suppose, my words suffices a small tribute to his memory, yet, he's not being forgotten by his friends for the many Saturday's that has passed. *This is for you buddy.

As eventide awakens
Under our bower I lay
My pulse begins to quicken
The world vanishes away
As you slip into my dream tonight
Like a prearranged rendezvous
A sweet illusion to fill my sight
I close my eyes, it all comes true
To taste your lips is ecstasy
All worries are left behind
In this land of fantasy
Our movie plays in my mind
In our never-ending romance,
Our unique melody, crafted with love
Your touch so tender, full of finesse
'Neath the precarious moon above
Gallivanting forward in my dreaming
Eager to acquiesce to my heart's desire
How I long to stay sleeping
Of this dream I never tire
But he kisses me, nonchalant
As he gently fades away
Back in my memories to haunt
As night gives way to-day

How many more businesses will need to go under?
How many more lives will they squash and plunder?
Should my way of life be put to the test?
How many should sacrifice so you can rest?
Why should my freedom suffer so you can feel safe?
You can stay home and vegetate.
Martial law, more government control?
We are digging ourselves a mighty large hole.
The entire planet now under siege?
I’m calling BS on the powers that be.
We are the people our numbers are high.
Our leaders are hanging us out to dry.
Rise up or fall, it’s now or never.
Blind obedience is never clever.
Our way of life is being changed.
Don’t let your future be prearranged.
It’s time to act and take a stand.
Our right to choose will soon be banned.
We need exposure to live and survive.
The longer we’re home the deeper we dive.
the book of Esther embodies the courage and the willingness to take a stance
for such a time as this to be positioned by God and to take a chance
yet the situation in society today is not all that much different in fact
with political machinations and the moral of mankind completely at a lack
but God has situated us to go out and make a change
preserved and positioned for our promotion which by Him has been prearranged
to be pregnant with the possibilities that God has given us to be strong
to stand up in righteousness and tell the people when they are wrong
to be obedient and listen to the Spirit of the Holy Lord
to whatever is needed even if it means to come under the sword
as obedience is better than sacrifice you must hold true to your position
and don't worry about what the world is doing just stay focused on your mission
by saying yes to any and all that of you God does ask
and believing unconditionally that He will equip you for the task
presented with a challenge Queen Esther was given a godly instruction
to put herself between her people and their total destruction
she was positioned in the right place
with the Lord God's saving grace
preserved and positioned for her promotion from the Lord Our God
destined for greatness by possessing an obedient heart
He sat alone most every day as others milled about him.
They chatted and they shared their lives, he wasn't asked to join them;
And so he sat there all alone since no one was inclined,
To introduce themselves to him and spend a little time,
And try to get to know the man that others said was strange,
Who always sat there by himself as though 'twere prearranged,
That he should be the out-cast, the one that no one noticed,
Feeling slightly out-classed and sore in need of solace.
No one seemed to want to try to include him in their group,
And so he sat there day by day alone and sad and mute.
They never got to hear his laugh or see his sense of humor.
They never got to talk to him , they just believed the rumors,
That labeled him as strange and weird, a loner, anti-social.
They never took a chance and learned that he was really special.
Then one day he disappeared, they knew not where he went.
They did not know his time was short, his time on earth was spent.
Appreciate
Imagine waking up and everything has changed.
No free will, your entire life prearranged.
Being told where to go and what you can do.
All aspects controlled, even your view.
No more crime and no need for law.
A life without love, no ma and no pa.
Imagine this gift suddenly taken away.
Would this life be good, even for one day?
No more dreams of what you could be.
Nothing to look forward to, we would all just agree.
What if opinion would no longer exist.
No more falling in love, or that first time being kissed.
Maybe we need the good with the bad.
How else can we appreciate all that we’ve had?
Without bad in this world, would good be a thing?
What is free will and what does it bring?
