Yes—the light indeed could sustain itself in the midst
Of what then was...

I wondered how that I could be a child of the King.
A long lost soul, I had no goal, but to maybe act and sing.
I believed in Jesus, a man of love,
But scared to death...

Thus it begins—
A free-verse epic
Into the mind of
A writer and an idiot—
A romantic and, 
Often a pessimist
Conjoined in arbitrary glory

Charismatic and, of course,
On the pushover, pitiful
And usually...

In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit, 
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking 
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

Sitting beside me till my eyelids opened
I sat up, yawning, and rubbed my eyes
His hand brushed a dry tear off my face

“You are alive and well, I see,...

Do your will through me
Let me shine your light, your love

Let me give back a small...

I feel your anxious pivot to create
We flow the same irresolute way,
Often in raging storms
And sometimes in playful gallops
We see ahead 
That path onto the light of laughs
I am in awe of your effort to...

With lone intent, all freedom it will wrest
if obstinance you let these wolves deny.
As tonnage sinks beneath the torrid crest
your struggles for survival magnify.
Each flailing ship that ferries surety
is fodder for the fathoms of abyss.

I was an elementary school teacher, with dreaming eyes to the rosy future,
Like the emerald, cherry blossom season, arriving later rather than sooner.

As a creative teacher, I was so popular, as children were my pearled...

The Prince grinned at my revelation,
He let go of my hands turning to the walls of the well
He heaved in a deep breath and laughed,

Your fire is my truest desire

For this is decidedly so

Silently crawling amongst the others,
Closer though, his strange arms stretched toward me,
And I was awakened, just before the crack of dawn
Cushioned in warmth, peculiar to the...

Line of inquiry:

The ego within forced me to resist
But now I wish I had effused a love mist
With aplomb and flair, just kind of left it there
For self-aware souls passing by, who choose to pair

Whispered screams of hopelessness
Lifted to the timbers,
Hopes are crashing to the ground
Burned dreams 
In smoldering embers,
And Yesterday's joys remembered.

"Is it the end?! Oh Lord, my Friend?"
These prayers are lifted Up to You, 
At night, and...

To benefit all animals, plants and people, under sunset skies of pomegranate.

Moment a desire arises 
we become joyous
Mind starts ruminating
We are hooked on to it

What began as a mere thought

Despite the shadows and silhouettes of night…

Thinking, like the reflection of a heart...
