Short Junctures Poems

Sometimes,
Through concern for another,
And while grasping for words
To express that junctures feelings
Even effortless words appear hidden.

My thoughts,
And tears that flow always serve
To do the bidding of my heart;
For God discerns my heart
And tears are a dialect
That only He grasps.

Sky is filled with many darker colors
Sun has set beyond the distant skyline
The clouds all line up looking like banners
Everything comes together and aligns
World looks darker now between the junctures
I feel the peace within, something quite fine
Hoping the powers of this night goes on
Will it always have life to play our song

in creation: no bridges to cross 
nor potholes to leap--just broken continuity,
where faithless junctures….

Oh! If only to splice love
into everything—
but such an easy solution
makes us impossible…....

A system that pushes,
The boundary of memory,
Left me feeling useless,
With a future of drudgery,

Initiative gathered as junctures passed,
Self-education, knowledge compounds,
Passion factored, failures do not last,
Reaching aspiration, a purpose profound,

Life follows no curriculum nor itinerary,
Perseverance and patience are life's best referee....
