“It behooves me” what the hell does that mean
Do we vacuum our parts till the crevices come clean
These terms we hear
Throughout the years
Need explaining, they tend to fry my beans...

As swift behooves,
In challenging quest,
Competitive hearts,
Race their best,
A treasure to win,
One measurable test,
For equine ones,
The World's Best.

                  Stars always thrill me.
                  I see moonlight, behooves thee.
                  Creations, all free.

a plum, a peach, a song, a beach
  a bend, a curvy straightaway
a bob, a dip, a dunk, a screech
  a hair-breadth turn took your future away

you nerveless nock, how dare you rock
  this sanctimonious cerebrum with poppycock
it behooves you to hoof it to Timbuktu ~
  haunting howls from the bowels of Montezu...

That guy
The one you called phantom
Then fled from
A gentle giant meek and strong
His convictions -
Voluntary surrender to get better
He oozes love
Like muscular Mandiba
Listen with your inner ear
He's your brother.

Not a ghost of a chance
No weight weighs him down
His love behooves, sans avaunt.

Last words come before last breath unexpected
Expressions of regret, a heartfelt goodbye,
Sincere apology on lips detected
Words uttered in pain, a horrifying cry.
Sudden thoughts upon which one has reflected
Not giving thought, a most intentional lie,
It behooves us to watch every word we say
For the last word uttered may see us away.

Smart men take the fifth
So their wives won't have fits
Some with few words group
Sad are those shooting soot
Sane men plays the buffoon.

A man must stand firm
Saving his magic wand
From fiery furnace-
A woman's hand; her wrath
It behooves him to trace.

I applaud most men
Posing like mister clean
Ready for dessert
Before or after meals
Their shirts are made of steel.

What's a sweeter gift than love?
What's the greatest wealth than hope?
What's a richer state than faith?

It behooves you to live by your faith,
And keep aflame the spirit of love,
Woe befalls him who derides hope:

Nothing is drearier than a life bereft of hope,
And he's a lost soul who's without faith,
But unfortunate is he of all who's without love.

All is lost when one loses love, hope and faith!...

Rage is Like a Boiling Tea Kettle
Written: by Tom Wright
8-4-2016

When I allow others to press my button,
And trigger any anger that lies within.
They own me in a manner of speaking,
And I’m often left with hidden chagrin.

I know it’s always best to keep my cool,
It behooves me to keep anger subdued.
 But seems I always need to let off steam,
And again I need work on my attitude.

wither
away not
to thee gifts reason

of art
wingless dove bestilled
on halfpace empyreal thy breast behooves
thee further

o'er yond clingiest fairgrounds
moor dawning flora
promising showboat sanctifying lightness
up from their beds and
to their feds and down
to their peds

all the same maternally presence clement
intimate cavernous fire claimants contest

a fleeting gesture
of unattainable love...

In the course of
Life's busy pace,
There comes
A day of reckoning,
When life,
in collusion with time,
Pulls back our reins
compelling us to stop
and take stock of our situation.

Sometimes life yanks us back
from the threshold of success,
Sometimes a few steps away
from the edge of the precipice.

But something good always
comes out of every situation.

It behooves us
to be patient
And trust the process
to find out what that is....

whatever happened to Juicy Fruit gum™
He doesn’t come around here anymore;

And where is the Beaver, cause Jerry Mathers
Does matter;

And what’s a Royal Crown soda;
As it behooves us to be older;

Stop lacing our arteries with fat and sugar cubes;
And who said my Nerf™ gun is bullet proof;

The is what I must become;
Rebirth, return to the time of the late “FIFTIES”

Question the lustrous brilliance of starlight 
burning like flares in murkiest hours of night.
Ponder with skepticism that Earth moves.
I will accept it, though my mind behooves.

Tell me you believe that Truth can be a Liar,
but not for a moment think that I will conspire
with another. I vow before His Holiness above...
Never will I give you cause to doubt my love.


* Based on a scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet....

Omniscience
Miracle Man
2/9/2023

God calls me redeemed; I’m not judged in a group,
He sees hidden things without need of a loupe.

Because He is omniscient despite His unseeing,
He knows each imperfection that clouds my being.

There is no thing that’s beyond His knowing,
so It behooves me each day to view seed I’m sowing.

That always, in my witness, my testimony is real,
for on judgment day He will grant me no appeal.

Our Destination
Written: by Miracle Man
6/19/2024

The paths that we travel all point toward death,
So it behooves us each day to do our best.
For none know, save God, when comes our final breath,
Or what might lie in store for our parting test.

Knowing that for our sin Jesus did atone,
Giving us a choice between purpose or drift.
So at Jordan’s crossing we’ll not cross alone,
God’s outstretched hand is ready to give a lift.

God Forgives And Forgets
By: Miracle Man
1/29/2025

The risen sun of each life too quickly will set,
our manner of life will determine what we get.
We’ll stand before the judgment seat of Mighty God,
and answer for each deed upon the path we trod.

So it behooves each one to seek forgiveness now,
and then not loose any unfirm hand from the plow.
We know not the time, place, or hour our sun will set,
but when God forgives us from sin, He will forget.

Your heart shines as the dawn;
As the sun over a green lawns;
Brightly shines and spirit moves as the wind;
And cool breathes in the aut umns their eyes gleams;
~
Sparkle like your eyes in stars in a midnight and shine so bright;
Your body like a cottonwood tree it behooves me covering my well-being such a sight;
And I love you for your truest good nature;
You are worth more your God's one creation;

Be Ye Ready
Written: by Tom Wright
5/20/2016

Some are squandering their days looking forward,
And for the present, they’re giving little thought.
Thoughts lingering on the ugliness of their past,
And the heartache that those actions have brought;

You can’t alter matters concealed in bygone days,
And God alone discerns each one’s days upcoming.
So it behooves us to live daily as were it to be our last,
Trouble not of tomorrow or whether it’s coming;
