Penny Hayes Poem
Been gone for way to long
Wasting away on borrowed time
Piece together my silent frown
Misery has robbed my gentle grace
Hate every stagnant aspect of life
Children abandoned scared and ashamed
Walking streets they cannot trust
Dealer on every garbage corner
Junkie pan handles another quarter
Everyone has their hand out
Promised land Rich with Milk and Honey
Frozen earth bleeds and weeps
Garden of Eden lost to man
Ever wonder what happened to Calvary
Love one another as I have loved you
A man just like me Flesh of my Flesh
Died to self for you and me
Reaching out He said...
'Please Father forgive them...
for they not what they do'
Piercing His side He was left to die
This is world is not my home He did arise
A wanderer passing through
On a journey to represent
Love the wounded
heal the sick
serve the poor
share His faith
Drench this barren land
with love.. Jesus style.

Penny Hayes Poem
Can you ever turn back?
................ the words that
whirl from your lips harsh
and wicked they lurk
aiming to cut, leaving dust
in your throat.
Can you ever turn back?
................ the grip of fear baring
its teeth, spit flying in between
the anger and regret.
Can you ever turn back?
............... that one minute
hold your breath scream,
while plummeting deeper
still... should of said it,
should of done it... but
oh well next time.
Can you ever turn back?
.............. the wound
you have created, a raging
river gutting into a cavern
of rock, splintering precious
bones.
Can you ever turn back?
............. just walk away
leave your family
leave a lover
leave your children
say to hell... I hope you die!
Can you ever turn back?
................your destiny
wrong move, different grove
should of danced to a different
tune... play me a new song!
Can you ever turn it forward?
.... you know I know what is
done is left done but still the
memories are wasted... by
fantasies of passed thoughts
and dreams.
But you can never go back!
...... to change it, to do things
different, not say a word, out
of fear, for in the minute all
sins would.. wound, never
walk away, leave a true destiny..
You know I know it's possible
just get it right the first time!
