A Broken Soul
Oh, my little angel, looking into your
eyes wasn’t easy as you always had
them closed,
Happy and peaceful as you enjoyed
your afternoon doze,
I wonder as I wander through this
busy world,
Why do my arms yearn to spin you
around in a dancing twirl?
As I recall the voices of you and your
friends from the birthday

Let the Cowboys be, in pastures new!
Cowboys
Let the cowboys be…
Let them tend to causes....genuine and real
To bequeath…an opportunity to be authentic.
To bequeath…a shot at redemption
To weed the errant and replant in ravines, chasms
In pastures new…
….the errant cowboys,
…..burdensome, irksome, oppressive…too much
….for sale, with privileges too plentiful
…..the ones acting out.. avaricious mode aplenty
……one too many errors
……. lives not to be trampled

Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd
When the Lord of all
Calls you His own
When He is your great Shepherd
You'll never be alone
For when you lose your way
Or from the fold you stray
He Will find you and carry you home.
You will never want
There's nothing more you need
He gives you peace and rest
In pastures so green
He knows when you thirst
To living waters

Lay Me Down in Green Pastures
Visions of what used to be
Comes to set my spirit free
The distant past is fading fast
As the warm earth covers me
The two of us that once was we
The children I no longer see
A lonely scene in pastures green
As the warm earth covers me
No friends show, nor family
No bowed heads or eulogy
No words

Pondering in Pastures
Pretty pink and purple poppies
perfume peaceful pastures and
prance into picturesque poses.
Proud patterns in pale light
paint playful pictures
in dust particles like
pinpricks of precise punctuation.
Promises are preached, pondered, prayed for
and proven in this patient pastime.
Pushed, pulled, put and pardoned
by a precious and pure performance
in her powerful

Transient Pastures
"As furry as sheep’s clothing;
It’s thick, fluffy, and profuse.
As timid as a white woolly.
I think it all fits you.
The greener the pasture,
The greener the opportunities await.
But friends don’t compete for one blade of grass,
For meadows are as vast as fates.
As evergreen as mountains,
Beautiful friendships grow eternal.
But there are leaves that

Dusk Painted Pastures
A dwindling light threads the dimming woods
into mist-coated shadows.
A stretch of gray-sheened water
reflects the phantom forms of homing wings,
skimming birds that must seek now
a dark cradle of shelter.
The sun has drowned
yet still rides a rippling after-image.
All the

Green Pastures Gone Brown
Green Pastures Gone Brown
David J Walker
The mood rises at the slight hint
Of moisture on a far horizon
Releasing
Faint memories of a fabled rain
Memories of memories
Unable to describe
the scent
of something
Long absent
Memories of temporality

It Leadeth Me Not To Green Pastures
My mask doth not inspire
It maketh me perspire
Restricts my respiration
Foileth my aspirations
Causeth naught but aggravation
Leadeth me to consternation

Running In the Pastures of This World I Am God Little Lamb-
Running in the pastures
Running in this world
Running running through the pastures
A little lamb
That I am
So thankful
O' Lord God
You are a good shepherd
You are my shepherd
And you protect me
Guide Me
Hide me
... from the dangers of this world
I am the Good Shepherd
And you got

Verdant Pastures
Horses in battle with valor showed
In ancient times when conflicts rose
On mighty steeds warriors rode
Swords at the ready to vanquish foes
Modern battles by machines are run
Which allowed the equines to have more fun
Running wild running free
Enjoying a new destiny
In verdant pastures horses roam
Grazing under azure skies

From the pastures which he usually run lose
I behold and tied my mind.
