A Hand in the Dark

She walked through nights no one noticed
feet heavy, heart heavier.
The silence of the world felt overwhelming.
as if kindness had disappeared.

Then, without warning
someone reached for her...
steady, warm, unexpected.
The road behind her remained,
but she could finally move forward.

For nights she had slipped alone
masking grief with pale smiles
hiding pieces of herself -
that no stranger would ever see.

Her legs ached,
her body protested
and still she whispered:
this journey is mine alone.

She found a quiet strength,
somewhere along the way.
As she moved forward,
she held one quiet truth:
even when the night is long,
even in the darkest times...
kindness finds its path.

Little gestures of kindness
can pierce the shadows,
and dawn breaks no matter how long the night.

When she finally stops,
she lifts her face to the sun
and carries one truth:
between falling and standing,
she found him...
and the light he gave her
will walk with her forever.

More Than a Soft Toy

Angry voices from the kitchen
Trading bitter accusations,
The sound of a palm hitting face,
Endless hateful exclamations.

I held you tight against my chest,
You felt the pain I tried to hide,
My tears that soaked your small brown head
Have left some stains now they have dried.

When there was none to cling on to,
I held on to your stubby hands,
As I--to drown the guilt and shame-- 
I drifted off to distant lands.

Somehow though I was young and frail,
Afraid, alone, and not so wise
I found some comfort and some strength
When I looked in your button eyes.

In that dark corner long ago
When sun, moon, stars all lost their shine
It was so cold but you gave warmth,    
Your knitted body pressed with mine.

A Light Along the Way

"Sometimes the smallest act of kindness becomes the brightest light along our darkest road."


He is one in a million--
a hand that reached out
when the world was silent,
and when kindness was rare.

Reg(Rej), though we have never met,
I feel your goodness
in the way it touched my path.
When I had nowhere to go,
you were there...
proof that the Lord sends hearts
to lift the fallen when hope runs thin!

For twenty-one nights, I walked alone
smiling at strangers…
never letting them see the weight I carried.

My knees ached,
my feet swollen,
my body trembling on the edge of collapse.
And still I told myself:
no one could run this race for me.

So I pressed forward
clutching courage in the dark,
holding on to the feeble flame of hope
that someone, somewhere
would understand without judgment.

Then came you...
A quiet proof that mercy endures,
that kindness still weaves its way through the dark
and even when the night is heaviest,
daylight will arrive.

When I finally reach my destination..
I will turn my face to the sun
and keep this treasure close:
that somewhere along the way home,
I found you...
and kept you in my heart.

Through Life’s Clenched Jaw

If I can’t climb the mountain,
I will find a way around;
what matters is reaching the place
destiny has mapped before me.

If wrestling shadows is required,
I will fight them to succeed;
for in the book of life,
each page must turn with time,
its wisdom carefully absorbed
before the next is revealed.

As though life resents our existence,
it serves difficulties as daily bread.
To drink from the cup of victory,
forged in the furnace of success,
one must grow small as a camel
passing through the needle’s eye.

Success lies hidden in life’s belly;
one must pry open its clenched jaw,
wrest the sweetness it has swallowed,
before the songs of triumph are sung.

Though life’s teeth are igneous stone,
I will seize the molten magma,
shape it before it hardens,
and rise, crowned in blazing triumph.

Surging Strength

Stumbling upon a surge of sensational hope
Faithful and determined as a shining shark, 
About to attack its prey…I pray I learn to cope
With the fact that I’m helplessly swinging on a swing at a kid’s park

Constant loathing has no reasoning behind it
Love strong and beautiful blessings will stay fit
Instant gratification won’t help this out without a doubt
Don’t pout and about…I’m not leaving until I’m completely out of it and about

All lengths of strengths fulfill my soul as a whole
A surge of shamelessness never had a moment so dull
I’m breathing in black coals of envy and breathing out red roses of fun
I’m teething on some Mexican candy and I need some dentist work done

Look up

Life's storms challenge us.
No matter how dark the clouds
Above them, sun shines.

Everything

There is 
no Time 
with Love,
for it
is eternal.
There are 
no boundaries 
for Love,
for it 
is everywhere.
There are 
no limitations 
for Love,
for it 
can change 
everything,
right here,
right now.

Inside a Cloud

Inside a cloud the lining shines with hope,
on paths that slip and slope, we grip on tight
to rope made from our inner strength to cope,
we always find a way in life to fight.

The road to happiness is felt within,
as soon as we begin to realize,
the win exists inside a smile or grin,
as letting go is worth the compromise.

The stresses and the strains will fade away,
good attitude today can change tomorrow,
allay your fear, removing all the grey,
alleviating grief and painful sorrow.

With positivity you’ll lead instead,
when little problems build inside your head.

Unwavering Before Eternity

Death's Shadow creeps across the wall 
Where memories of triumph Stand tall 
Each scar tells stories of battles won 
Each breath echoes choice made, undone.

The ledger of our days is closed 
Accounted for in every pose 
No whispered no apologies sought 
No trembling knees, no faltering thought. 

Before the throne of judgment high 
We stand as mountains touch the sky  
Our hearts ablaze with righteous pride 
Our soul unbroken, side by side.

The divine inquirer raises sight 
Upon our shoulders, straight and bright 
No shame deliberate, no guilt resides 
Only the peace that honor provides. 

Through trials fierce and tests of fire 
We walked the path our conscience dire 
Each step deliberate, each choice clear 
Our character forged, year by year.

Scales of Control

In scales of steel, the city sleeps
Where dragon laws in darkness creep
The streets are veins of ancient stone 
Where freedom's blood has long been flown. 

The towers pierce the smoky sky 
Like claws that grasps and never die 
The people move with careful pace 
Under eyes that watch each secret place.

Through gates of fire, the rulers pass 
Their shadows cast in endless glass 
Where every breath must be confessed 
And dreams themselves are put to test. 

But deep within the burning core
A spark remains that dares ignore 
The chains of law, the weight of might 
And whisper still endless light.

The Phoenix Glass

Through shattered glass, I see my past
Reflected fragments of what didn't last
Like ripples on a midnight sea
Each piece reveals a part of me.

The phoenix rises from the deep
Where shadows dance and secrets sleep
With every step, I claim my ground
Between the worlds I've turned around.

In cosmic depths, I find my voice
Where darkness meets the inner choice
To rise above the breaking pain
And turn my scars into wings again.

The mirrors crack, the pieces fall
But in their shards, I hear it all
The whispers of my deepest soul
Guiding me to make myself whole.

BENDED KNEES

Humble start
Moment to express
Earth to Heaven
Need to pray
The Cross on the mind
A world that doesn’t spiritually care
A warning in beware
The US President acting like a King
The Holy One being the sit high and look down watch
Some people in the world refuse to bend
That could very well be their end
Wisdom of Thy
Seeing eye to eye
The creator of all
Deliverance call
Sees and responds
Wake up in Heaven’s yearn
Blessed to look upon
Embraces and assures
None better but the Lord
Power stronger than I
Today and Forever
Everlasting
Praise to above
Goodness to think of
Me and Thy

Masterpiece

She is the mural painted on barrio walls,
stories in her curves, rhythm in her calls.
Colors of abuela, the fire of the street,
a masterpiece rising where cultures meet.

But art needs a frame — firm hands, steady eyes,
men who don’t compete but safeguard the prize.
A frame holds the story, keeps memory tight,
protects from the weather, the dust, and the night.

Alone she’s the art, brilliance untamed—
but her power shines louder ’cause he is the frame.

Best of both worlds

you're my yin and yang
you're strong when you need to be
you're gentle when it counts
