Short Fairing Poems

People ask me how I'm fairing
I say I'm fine by just declairing

One single tear a day
I cry my love silently away

One single tear that's all
For a memory I may recall

One single tear bereft
Of happiness and hope that left

One single tear for her
The one who made my heart to soar

I have come to give you life;
Don't be foolish be wise;
Be careful for nothing;
Somethings are fairing;
Don't be afraid
Ashamed of your wrong choices;
You have the power to change;
Renew your mind, heart voices;
Be sincere mercies graces intents;
Forgives when you submit, just sincerely commit
Stop being weary... justRepent

To live without a poem
Is like life without form,
Poetry is my gene
Intoxicating me like gin,
When my mind becomes ballistic,
I pick up my pen to become realistic,
I will starve greatly if I don't write daily.
I wonder how some are fairing
When they live without daily writing,
Meditation and perpetual reading.
Poetry is a mirror
That exposes societal horror
To live without a poem
Is a life without form....

The affect we all at times
ingest,
with hope and longing 
try to best,
though there is upon us
ache of heart

But those of us who treasure
the promise,
who glimps with what is inspired
from our Lord,
gather us who
follow the words;

“From dust we are
and dust we return,”

And to the faithful,
He does resurrect


This poem is in dedication to Carolyn's dear friend who is not fairing well.
God bless your friend Carolyn, and you for your kindness and love for your
friends !...
