Faith Paved Road
Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking life's long and winding road,
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with truth's seed,
I will find where pain does recede.

The Road to Hail is Paved
I sat on my driveway in the rain today,
wondering how I must look to the neighbors.
I'm allergic to grass and don't like dirt,
but I felt a yearning to commune
with nature. The driveway (common concrete)
seemed close enough to rock,
which is just pre-dirt, besides
it was getting drenched in the shower,
just like me.
In other words, I

Fading Lucidity
Dwindling minds
breeds clarity,
exhaling paved trepidation,
as gilded moon tides
shadow my fading lucidity.

The Way Uphill is Paved
The way uphill is paved
With Winter white and cherry lips;
Silver wings filigree-engraved,
Runners’ serpentine-slips.
With Winter white and cherry lips,
Calmness after the blizzard winds.
Runners’ serpentine slips.
A child’s whim, hallelujah hymns.
Calmness after the blizzard winds.
The landscape, a breath of fresh air.
A child’s whim, hallelujah hymns.
Imprint of angel’s fair.
The landscape, a breath of fresh air,
Silver wings filigree-engraved -
Imprint of

The Unsupervised Stop Sign
Who says stop? Road signs, yes. But those who don’t like what is happening. The abused, the neglected, the rejected. Often ladies who don’t want to be fondled by the men they’ve accepted as dates or trysts. There are those that say stop when the drink is being filled and others who express their prohibitive

Walking Barefoot There's No Need For Shoes Walking On the Streets Paved With Gold In God's Glory-
Family, there are these quaint elder travelers
Not? Yet a hundred years old,
they've been gone from on top of this Earth
Now they're walking streets of gold
So now these travelers ain't got no shoes
And yet they got spirit and heart
For these travelers no plans no man and yet they carry your heart
So

Paved In Gold
Paved in gold,
paved in gold.
No more sitting alone in front of the fire
awaiting fruition of dreams, awaiting my hearts desire.
Those days were swept away in the chilly falls of yesterdays.
It was a cold and windy season
yet all I can remember are gold leaves swirling without reason.
As gold as the streets in Heaven.
There will be no

Gold-Paved Path
G-old-paved path in heaven
I-s in store for the flock;
G-lorify the Lord God,
I-n spite of the block.
B-elieve in the gold-paved path,
A-im at the blissful abode;
R-each the promised paradise,
C-herish the glorious road.
E-verlasting gold-paved path
L-ets you think of true treasure;
L-ife eternal is priceless,
A-s it brings pure pleasure.
N-o more tears and pain,

Paved In Stone
Forty years of bad road,
a path of broken glass
Potholed memories line my thoughts,
devil waiting fast
Daring me—“Retrace your steps,
your quickest way back home”
Forty years of shattered dreams,
—the future paved in stone

A Well-Paved and Smooth Road
M-arch thirtieth day turns fine,
A-fter the cold chill has gone;
R-ain and clouds have turned
I-nto a warm morning sun.
S-hadows pass from view as the darkness turns into light;
H-aze has just faded when the dawn is shining bright.
M-ist is now nowhere to find,
O-ne clear day I've seen;
R-adiance from the wide sky
I-dentifies the

Walking Streets Paved With Nameless Stones
Walking Streets Paved With Nameless Stones
I walk a street paved with nameless stones
shadows of racing strangers I often meet
are empty suits covering faceless bones
Dark spirits that never dare to greet
my hello with anything but angry tones
Perhaps upon seeing my face filled with grief
they remember harm they too have

Paved Jungle
We are living in such a paved jungle!
There are miles of concrete and sidewalks
There are skylights and many skyscrapers,
but we really have to pay attention!
At any corner are waiting: snakes, lions and tigers.
Oh poor walker, can't really enjoy peace and hope ...
It is just the pursuit of happiness!
It's just a struggle for better!
There is

This Paradise Will Not Be Paved
kissing the underbelly of a white cloud
becoming perfectly serene in adequate comfort
thinking about you as you keep me warm by continuing to prove me wrong
i let too many things go, but this paradise will not be paved
rubbing the gaseous belly of a butterscotch bunny
enjoying the stunning stillness of actually being settled
thinking about you as you
