The Map that Leads to YOU
The map that leads to you
Started before I was born
The map that leads to you
Was planned by YOU
We were born to know YOU
We were born to know Jesus
Many will call you Lord
But few will know you
Jesus, thank you for the MAP

The Map Beneath the Change
They built the walls, so tall, so bright,
yet still the wind came rushing through.
They never sought the hidden sight-
the roots beneath they never knew.
People – culture, firm and true,
Organisation – beams that last.
Processes – the paths we view,
Information – the compass cast.
Technology – a bridge that stays,
no tide can wash its span away.
With all five

An Unchanging Map of Nothing
an appointment
seeming as a
fork in a path
portending
dark or light..
it is a lingering
of time
so it seems
in an unchanging
map of nothing
which all of
these words
express~~

Off The Map
I took the road less traveled
to hear if a falling tree
with no one around
(aside from yours truly)
does make a sound
but lost my way
veered far astray
and for the life of me
couldn't see
the forest for the trees
but if I could
it would feel so good
not a bump on a log nor lump on a stump
as then I'd be

A Map of Quiet Fires
Her skin drinks light like rivers take rain,
each dappled edge and sun-struck curve,
a landscape under my hands, soft yet severe,
where desire meets the edge of breath.
Fingers trace the small hollows of her hip,
catching sunlight in each soft valley,
dipping, trembling, as if they might slip
into some dark, endless tenderness.
She is a map of quiet fires,
a fever

You Won't Find It on The Map
We live not inland, but on the beach,
where splashing waves and sand crabs reach.
So, we style the place we dwell Outland,
where people's ears are filled with sand.
Like English, our cuisine is blandish,
but our languish is Outlandish.

Map
You repeat what you're good at,
and avoid what you're not good at.
A map with only one road drawn on it.
A traveler wouldn't put a map of someone
who hasn't traveled before in his bag.
A blank paper is better.

EXISTENCE MAP
Nigeria, our homeland
Our heritage, One nation
Numerous ethnic groups, differ people
Different cultures and beliefs
They all practice what they believe in.
Africa, our continent
Our pride, rich culture and history
Different countries, so many languages
Different religion, different understanding
Everyone keeps defending their religion and nation.
The Globe, our world
Universal culture, Unites all
Different continent and colors

Boss Map Walt Marie
Sure as stars shined she stumbled.
Falling.
A fierce lightning rod flickering
wild sparks.
Put the appetite front and center.
Boss map.
Hard hands callused to the bone,
dialed in.
There’s nothing lucky about it.
She fought.

Ball-Shaped Map
The ball-shaped map of

breathe triple fast due to
his triple

Beyond the Past
The past is a lesson, not a prison,
The past is a mentor, not a captor.
The past is a tale, not a jail,
The past is a page, not a cage.
The past is a foundation, not a stagnation,
The past is a phase, not a maze.
The past is a guide, not a slide,
The past is a map, not

No Map Needed
No matter how hard you look
It doesn’t take a map
GPS will not help you in any way
The place you are looking for
Well, it is the most special place on Earth
Treasures no one has ever heard of
And creatures never imagined
All you have to do is discard your maps
Just unplug your computer
Do not think or plan your

your face is the map of Ireland
your face is the map of Ireland
she looked over at a Marlboro man of the sixties
ruggedly handsome
he said nothing else
but his smile gave her goosebumps
it was slow and intelligent
she slid her purse two seats down
to get a better look at him
his face was more handsome up close
his eyes were light blue, and dazzled
she knew she
