The Bell Tower That Leaned In
I. The Pastor’s Hand
At dawn’s brittle cusp—
he climbs, each step
a nail in time’s coffin
breath ragged
a Psalm torn mid-hymn.
The rope tastes of incense and myrrh—
Liberty’s fracture
braided through its fibers
a wound
that never quite

The River of Willow
You entered our lives as a soul of an angel
Traveling a distance
From the likes of Grange Hill
Your health from the beginning
Was such a struggle
Painful and ill
The deadly Parvo wanted to show us
How baneful it was and will kill
You fought against it day and night
Tenacious and

My Spiritual Life
My Spiritual life is complicated
Now euphoric next sedated
dilemas daily duplicated
All my friends alienated
Happy times sometimes elated
Spiritual life is complicated
My spiritual life is tempermental
one day strong the next I tremble
Demonic thoughts in turn assemble
The scars you see are not coincidental
Happy or sad so incidental
Spiritual health is tempermental
My spiritual health is sometimes unstable
Battles able with unable
Joy fleeting

A Recycle of the Spiritual Life
We dump waste
To recycle, remade or reuse
But we hide our feelings deep in the heart
Never mean for recycling
Happiness to be appreciated, to be remembered
And sadness to be discarded
Or to be transformed into an experience or a lesson
We keep our knowledge in mind
Never to be polished after retirement
But the world is changing every minute
Some

The Soul Knows
Where did all the sunny days go?
I feel my Soul tell me it knows
Howbeit I’m constantly chasing shadows
Through bravado and deepening sorrows
Endlessly I hear life's soprano
Though it sounds empty and disturbingly hollow.
My Soul tells me which rainbow to follow
Daily however, I live in this empty burrow
Not listening to you tell me which way

Four Point Seven: Morph
A song is a poem that seized its opportunity to fly
A dance is a close-lipped soliloquy narrated by vigor
A story is a word with blazing sentiments that can't die
Every mastery is a tenacious failure
A laugh is a smile learning to be an extrovert
A noise is a whisper that couldn't stay in its zone
A race is

Bad Things Cant Happen To Good People
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Why does suffering come to the weak and feeble?
Misery doesn't come to us simply
Whatever fruit we plant, will grow on the tree
Why do we see good people suffer?
They pray to God, but are denied supper
The result is not God's decree
It's a Universal Law, you will soon agree
The

Spiritual Life
S-piritual life lives in peace,
H-aving hope, faith, and love;
A-lthough it needs sacrifices,
R-apture is given by God above.
L-earn to uphold spiritual life,
E-levating your trust in the Father;
E-arly January twenty-seventh,
N-ever fear the rugged weather.
B-elieve in all of God's words,
O-nce you feel the pain of strife;
H-oly promises are based
O-n your

Samson of the Bible
Samson Of the Bible
From the Bible, is the story of Samson.
He lived an incredible life that really happened!
He was to be a Nazrite, and set apart!
His hair was to grow long, from the start!
He was to deliver Israel from their enemy throughout!
This was what his mission was all about!
He destroyed the lion and bear with

God's Apostle Paul
There was a man from Tarsus
whose name was Saul
who did all he could
to make Christians to fall
But one day he took a trip
to Damascus was his aim
but God met him on the road
and his life was never the same
On that conversion road
his eyes became blind
till God’s light shined
to bring him a enlightened mind

The Concealed, Revealed
From behind the veil, my tears, I dare to peer out
while forever longing, wishing to remove all doubt
waiting for a time, when the hidden will be revealed
when truth will prevail, no longer to remain concealed
This self-banishment is my unbroken silence, a journey I take
in order to traverse my world within, all else I must forsake
finally

I May Not Be Here Tomorrow
I May Not Be Here Tomorrow!
When tomorrow comes, I may not be here!
This life I have… Could just disappear!
I may think of this world as my “sanctuary.”
But my life down here, is just temporary!
Life just passes me by, and goes by fast!
I can think of many things done in the past!
But the past is
