A Shipwreck She Salvaged

She came aboard my sinking ship
a death blow to the bow,
attempts to bail and keep afloat
this mariners tattered sails.

Plot a new course and navigate
in storms and angry seas,
this vessel lists in the swells
life plundered by piracy.

Now this new maidens charge
is to steer starboard side,
for a new sheltered port 
with rising tides.

This once scuttled ship
ill winds

Salvaged

In deep despair, where dreams are nightmares, 
I found myself, broken in spirit beyond repair. 
By grace, from the wreckage, I surfaced anew, 
In the heart of darkness, I received my rescue.

I’ve been salvaged from the shadows so deep, 
Like a phoenix rising through a flaming heap. 
The trials and tribulations, they lit up my

Salvaged, Saved, and Sanctified

Man was forever doomed because of sin.
He could not escape the mess he was in.
Enslaved by Satan, the prince of the air,
condemned by God, His judgment to share.

But God through His mercy, loved us so much,
He sent His own Son our dead souls to touch,
with hands that brought a young damsel to life
and salvage and

Salvaged Splendor

If the flowers wilt in my garden turned fallow
I would preserve one, the one you love the most
In my wasteland hope would again bloom
The salvaged splendor would portray my longing  
When the flower would allure you with its scent
It’s me you’d know.

For Some Things Cannot Be Salvaged

The screen door
Of the lakeside cabin
Is carved with slices
The size of claws
From the jumping family dog
Of long ago

From which fish flies skim through
The moonlit din
Thinning
Themselves
Into those slots

Dropped
Like silver coins
Into the lamp light
Of the cabin

Hoping it’s enough
To re-start the cuckoo clock
Left for dead
On my old man’s wall.

Story of My Life

A Myriad of loving voices echo through my memories 
Ghosts of those who touched my soul
And gifted me their legacies
Along the way there has been reckless peril on my stormy seas
There was but one who Salvaged me 
Who saved me from my misery 
Anchored me and kept me safe
and now at last I get to

A Salvaged World

A car rolls into a soundless night,
It's light sends a bursting view of overhanging growth,
In a microcosm succession of descending seconds,
Pruned for a snapshot temporal existence,
Till all is rendered back to the void of night.

Sounds of rolling wakes the void,
'Tis but a wheel cover errant for intimacy,
The road approves its adoption,
As it settles amongst other

Salvaged

Surrounded by dry prairie grass

Amidst a sea of broken glass

Like metal soldiers dressed in rust

V-8's wear vests of orange dust

And I, when gazing at them there

Get goose bumps raising every hair

Each time, because I swear I see

Dead headlights staring back at me

Salvaged

I don’t think our relationship can be salvaged.
You severed it when you only came back for one night.
Then you tried to get me and her to fight,
I’m sitting here alone thinking, about how we were about to welcome in a new life,
That we created and it is no longer to be waited for.
I want you
