Listen to poem:

Forever stretches out ahead
Forget everything that we said
For as the mist mingles with time
And those mistakes of yours and mine
Forgiveness is the golden thread...

Espy it
Eye it
Identify it
Buy it
Untie it
Liquify it
Fry it
Dry it
Fortify 
Glorify it 
Dignify it
Purify It
Certify it
  C'mon -- try it!
  Can't -- On a diet......

Echoes of tomorrow dance around my brain

Songs of joy and sorrow mixed in love and pain

Marriages of feelings swirling intertwined

Promises repeating as waking dreams unwind

A sip of morning coffee to fortify my mind

All casually  forgotten  as I face the daily grind...

Optimist but options still exist and 
Gambling men know houses always win so
Build a base with me to beat the odds
Let em shoot and use the bricks to build a 
Fortress for us fortify the bonds
Build a base and then provide the tones so
Neighbours think our waters laced with

Sweeter things...

Just as the glorious wind lifts a careful new bird,

carries from place to place the gentle word of ready roses,

or fills the creaking sails of an ancient ship, 
that it may stay it's course another day,

so does prayer fortify the mind, the heart and the soul

and remind us of the power of faith...

My heart gets broken, I can't cry
Feel the fall as words are spoken 
Harsh ideas, that you imply
My heart gets broken

Mind spirals, as old wounds reopen
Entire self, on you I rely
Eyes closed plain sailing, now woken

My every fault you magnify
Overshadowed, life does darken
I took no time to fortify
My heart gets broken...

Listen to poem:

Buyer Beware 
David J Walker

The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry  
Steeling the linen 
Calling our neighbors invaders
Demanding justice to fortify our
Positions and satisfy our ambitions
Enforcing the bowing and kneeling
But buyer beware
Earth has its own practice 
Of healing...

You alone will vanquish fear
So, to You we turn because You care
And in our earnest prayers
You fortify our consciousness and will
Help us to find the time to be still
So that Your words will fill
And elevate us beyond harm
Let our presence generate warmth
To anyone shivering in a storm

Help us to help others and ourselves.

If I can that will be the tool to use
For that is the handle to do the job
My perseverance will be strong to proceed
My courage and determination will reinforce

my life is like a garden which I must sow
and cultivate to have enrichment in life
that will fortify my temptations to conquer mounds
gaining the fulfillment of achievement...

FOR LIFE

                                                 A beating chest desires everything.
                                          Fortify great happiness in joking kin,
                           loving mothers, nests of peace, quiet rest,
serendipity.  The upbeat volume waters yearlong zest.

Yet, I do know a little of the law:
For all its forms but fortify from flaw.
To that which renders beauty must it serve,
Nor from this purpose, may it ever swerve.
From solemn silence, symphonies upswell,
And half the year I’ll dwell in Asphodel.
For I have found that - there are autumns, too,
And ice of winter doth the springs renew.

Peace is found when people come to their senses
Stop the bickering and contentious debates
Words of anger fortify our defenses
   Peace is found when people come to their senses
   We should make restitution and mend fences
    Arguing is one of our worst human traits
       Peace is found when people come to their senses
       Stop the bickering and contentious debates...

  When truth becomes a dying star
  and lies shine brightly as the sun
 That means we have lost the way
 as webs of deceit  are spun 

 Some remain in oblivion
 and continue to cling to the lie
 Others embrace the truth
 Using its armor to fortify

 The light  of truth continues to dim
 As the truth many flout
 But what will we do
 When the light of truth goes out?

the essence of you makes me smile
I want you today, tomorrow and forever and ever
You make me happy, feel loved, you intensify me.
You strengthen and fortify me. I think of no one but you.

I spend my days being fascinated by your smile,
Your eyes tantalize and tease me; I see them in my dreams.
I could not be me if there was no you.
You are my home, my life, my soul self’s soulmate....

Confessions

The deepest of all, I write in my heart, as the fondest of all I keep in my memories. The weakness of all I fortify within my palm as I let the pain dive with the wind. I rekindle the good deeds as I strangle shortcomings. I fight my worst self as I embrace the best of me. It's not all about how fast I can go, not even how far I can go but how I feel when I get there.

Oh, if the Heavens were to gash open,
And the angels therein fall out trumpeting,

And if the hells were to exude out to the earth
Its foul breathe and evil sneeze,

And if Man were to be exposed to the very heart of Heavens
And to the iniquity of hell-

And if it was trumpeted Judgment Day,
Man will then defect and by his wit

That heart of the former will he pluck
And fortify the latter with the lock....

Love and light comes from within

Fortify those qualities and begin

To send it out across the world like waves of empathy

And resonate flows of frequencies

That fly around brining about synchronicities

That if released and followed can set the whole world free

And as one in combined unity

Running wild with such belief

That leads to change, which starts with you and me

And can bring about a shift to save humanity....
