Soul Food Music
She says her love language is food well now you're talking baby
We can go anywhere what shall it be
Texas, Mexico, France, Italy, China, Germany, or maybe some old-fashioned southern hospitality
I know your mind has a hard time deciding, so take your time
What should we eat is a question that should be treated as a delicacy
Our

Soul Food
The orchestra plays the music
that majestically swells
the violins, flute and piccolo
harmoniously scream the song at the top,
and the soul gets fed,
and feels full.

The Big Easy
The Big Easy called to me
Packed my bag and went to see
New Orleans a place to eat
Took a stroll down Bourbon Street.
Summer night a sound of jazz
I'm bopping along full of sass
Hearing syncopated blues
Music followed to rendezvous.
Have a date to eat soul food
Hungry and thirsty in the mood
The Big Easy helped me unwind
Shrimp gumbo tasting

Soul Food For Thought
Never to be spent, only saved,
Its question has mirrored the mind of man.
As a celestial battle seeks ownership,
Measuring qualities the best it can.
It appears to be contested throughout
A lifetime, no matter length or reach.
With victories rarely mentioned, yet
Lessons remain for those to teach.
Often times, it may be lost to a void
Or chaos, where it may

Soul Food
The taste of passion drips down a paintbrush,
Stroke after stroke with emotion in each drop.
A story told without words,
Is one to be ravished.
Can you feel it?
The change of heart within each pigment.
Fighting between love and hate,
Deciphering the symbols against a stigma.
Do not question creativity.
Question what makes you creative,
Then chase it.

At Sadie's Soul Food Grill
Otis was once a monk
who took no vows, was
free to leave the abbey
and eventually he did.
I met him over chicken wings
at Sadie's Soul Food Grill.
For almost 20 years
every spring and summer
Otis labored in the fields
raising vegetables
and crops of every kind.
In fall and winter he
would gather leaves and
plow the

Soul Food
Swallowing starlight, thirsting
on ether that roars through
the cosmos as fine, icy fire.
Nibbling moon-dust, gobbling
comets that streak through the
heavens from heaven knows where.
Digesting mysteries older than time,
inhaling the dew, grateful for tastes
that are forever ancient and new.

Morning Soul Food
I thank you, God,
For morning tea
and butter buns,
oven fresh.
They satisfy
my body, Lord,
But I am more
than flesh.
Fill me with
Your Holy Spirit,
and quench my
thirsty Soul,
with nectar from
Your fruit tree, Lord,
My heart's Your
hallow bowl.
