Jaci Haggard Poem
We could remain in wonder
hold the hand of mystery
rely on what we know
but believe whats not to see
We can keep our blissful ignorance
and hold a sense of pride
but as clocks turn corners
will our ignorance have died?
And as we lay awake at night
whats to know inside?
and walking through our valleys
for what do we have to fight?

Jaci Haggard Poem
On the corner of the street
An old woman with a booth
She laid three cards
And made her move
She showed the three
Diamonds, hearts, and spades
"Follow the heart" she said
"And win the game"
Three cards laid across the table
Three loves he couldn't choose
Three lives, three women, three loves of his life
He had two of three to lose.
One card was beauty
Strength and pride
As another held hope
And faith inside
A third was wisdom
And true in spirit
They held his heart
In a three way split
Watching the cards
Closely he glared
Following the heart
Never breaking his stare
They moved and twisted
Side by side
Dancing and prancing
Soon to decide
Suspense and focus
Were high on rise
Racking his mind
Heart hurting inside
His choice was given
His time now to choose
the old woman stopped
No card made a move
The time had come
No time to wait
He closed his eyes
And chose his fate
"Shes the one"
He said "Ive known it from the start"
Turning his card
He had chosen the heart

Forget our never
Know the truth of our present
Hold to our future

Jaci Haggard Poem
We want what we want
We need what we need
Confusing the two
We beg on our knees
We have what we have
We are who we are
Holding out your hand
Only takes you so far
Pleading and hoping
Holding whats never to be
Clinging and wishing
clouded with desire, we cant see
Our blessings and beauties
fall back seat
To our hopeless longings
All we think we need
But I still know
Perhaps you dont
That we cant always get
What we want

Jaci Haggard Poem
moonlit tears
darkness born fears
moving at the speed of terror
hatred consumed minds
throw faces into fire
heating the misery in all who see
one more night
we'll make it til light
hopeful minds
holding tight
hate and rage
thrown to tame
the "beasts" screaming to live
another down
without a sound
silent screams heard faintly
mist of death fires of hate
burning weak bones that fall
innocence crushed and victimized
un-just souls stand tall
blood covered vows
to take beyond now
crisis remembered in hopes of no return
head counts still remain
and hatred continues to gain
again again again again
genocide reigns
hopes to remember
knowings to prevent
all lived in vain

Jaci Haggard Poem
shaking in the shadows
lies the wounded darkness dancer
waiting for a gleam of light
to devastate and reveal her
to never dance and never hold
the truths dwelling deep
not again will she protect
whats never to be seen
darkness fading light consuming
fear compelling lies
light exposing all that falls
proclaiming onus ridden eyes
shaking in the shadows
lies the wounded darkness dancer
consumed by a gleam of light
where all can clearly see her

Jaci Haggard Poem
I feel the beat through my fingers,
my heart beats along.
I watch the rhythm through my sneakers,
my lips sing the song.
My soul sways to the melody,
it reaches to my heart.
No matter what its always with me,
of myself a part.
I sing, I sing,
my voice you'll hear.
Listen well,
for i am near.
I hear the lyrics,
I feel the keys.
I walk with music,
follow me.
I feel the pick,
warm on my palm.
I strum the guitar,
all is calm.
The music flows,
from you to me.
We'll change the world,
wait and see.

Jaci Haggard Poem
Blackness overrides
Beauty thought eternal
Poison engulfs
Life believed immortal
The chilling sound
Of the nothingness heard
Screams louder
Than corporate ever could
All the tears
Could never wash away
The spill that seeps
Through each moment, each day
For all here know
This oil is bigger
Bigger than us all
This oil spills anger

Jaci Haggard Poem
Pen to paper
Truths arise
Emotional exposition
Release inside
Divine expression
Seeping from the soul
Beyond pronounced emotion
Beyond what we know
A glimpse of God
A moment of grace
I'll spend my life
In poetry's embrace

Jaci Haggard Poem
the white whispers sorrow
the emptiness spews fear
it doesn't lie it only reminds
what inevitably nears
across these white walls
dance memories and faces
twirling and leaping
among the empty spaces
a road among them
i aspire to see
a glimpse of hope
what is intended to be
for now i cry
in cold hands i fall
to dwell in my hatred
of these empty white walls
