Return me to yesteryear
Reveal my Secrets...

Weave  of  flowers and fruits
the fundamental renovation
of the nature of the seasons...

Moon beams
Taken in arrest
House walls
Screaming create
 Spaces
Just right
Throwing mocked
Candle light

As I lay in the dark on a blow up mattress

Listening to rain pound on the tin roof

In house thats in renovation mode

I am at peace hearing natures simple truth...

frenzied mud dauber
porch railings are no longer
we are the killers

he bores hole in post
angry about the railings
what will they call home

will he sound alarm
will army wasps come to fight
dejected he leaves...

Why do family-tree roots
    not begin deep IN the ground
  And if Evolution is Truth
    aren't we from monkeys UPWARD bound

  No scientist am I
    nor did I witness Creation
  Yet perhaps our recording of it
    needs renovation...

We’re all hurled
Into the midst,
A perfect world
Does not exist.

Taught to hate,
Doomed to die.
Our death rate
Has soared sky-high.  

We can escape,
Begin the climb.
Build to reshape
Free from crime.

Help to offset
Push and shove.
Do not forget
How to love....

The resounding renovation of the mind can be astounding.
With each breath I take I am but a soul yearning for redemption-
I now seek rejuvenation in the senses that healing brings.

Surrounded by peeling wallpaper 
it’s a picture of provocation;
These holes tended to terrify her.

Spots that need so much renovation
must be rebuilt right down to the core;
There’s happiness in new construction.

You’ve got an idea what’s in store,
once the soul is restored to this house;
An antique knob attached to the door.

Enough beauty to instantly rouse
a blend called American Bauhaus.

The Do it yourself craze is all the rage on television 
Where you can do amazing things in the world's vision
Now you can renovation, participate or emulate
As other people have over other programs of late

And if cooking is your very special thing 
You can be the best cooker in the extreme
But I think performing is the most popular show
When singing, dancing or performing is the go.

The book that life is
The love, the trials
The tribulations 
Are all written in the book
Experience is our best teacher
Read it well
So you can foretell
The story to our kids
The future generation
Life of renovation
Accept compassion, kindness, love
As YAH's blessed nations
YAH's Omnipresence
The essence of our True...existence

In a way, each of us is a house, a temporary abode for spirit, subject to age – needing maintenance and sometimes an entire renovation. I examine the walls of me...the entrance and exit of both chill and warmth through the inevitable cracking. The chipping and peeling – the drying-out between eternities.  My next domicile, I want all on one airy level – having found, fullness and height are less directions, and more the surrendering of enclosure....

For years we’ve gone to see the shows
Of Shakespeare in the Park,
Where magic happens in Manhattan
When the sky turns dark.

The theater where the plays are held
Is called the Delacorte,
Reopening this summer,
I am happy to report.

A renovation closed it down
But now it’s back for good
And boasts a new façade that’s made
From water tower wood.

“Twelfth Night” will start the season
With a most impressive cast,
An experience for those who go
That will be unsurpassed.

Come do promise with my faith
Meet for us near blue lake
Now I am telling you by true heart
Through your love I got effective change
Now I am viewing a new world
By a new view by new vision
Shape of moon now look like
As you look in the midnight
Both of you look me similar
Both of you spread milky light
Now my life need renovation
Your advice your assertion
By your appear I feel so light
And got removal by heavy lode
Every way is clear now
Need indication for love both side...

Drills are buzzing, hammers banging;
Men on ladders, tool kits hanging.
Renovation’s going on and 
Waiting is the key.

Dumpster’s filling, scraps are flying;
Things look messy, no denying.
Renovation’s taking place
For an eternity.

Lights are dangling, tarps are blowing;
Lists to finish just keep growing.
Renovation’s in the works and
Not the place to be.

Quite a job the crew is facing;
So much that requires replacing.
Renovation’s at my son’s house -
Glad it’s not for me!...

All I have 
of lasting value
is my heart to give

the antiques
in the attic
just gather dust

plastics become brittle
and metal to rust

cloth disintegrates

and if sentiments on cards alone
what true value is a poem?

as museums 
need constant
renovation --  

an indentured
in and out curator --

while the heart stays with me
everywhere I go -- 
awake or asleep

unlike tides that ebb and flow

my love for God is constant

enough for me that He eternally
know.......
