Achieve the Climb

pumping red rivers
traveling through tiny tunnels
of life ticking away

slowly stirring
yielding a promise known but unseen
many hope to survive to see
yet scared to know
the truth it holds

bending, stretching
hold out your hand
open your heart
believe in the future of your soul

overcome, jump those hurdles
reach out, grab but don't let go
of your love for God and Jesus
of your love for every little thing
meant to be

step aside for avalanches
then continue to climb
to achieve your soul's purpose

live the life
meant to be real -
a life lived with love and kindness
a life with God and Jesus

Hunger To Succeed

sit, think, feel
the hunger to achieve, to succeed,
in a world full of possibilities
for each and every person
     see your future
     watch your steps among the pebbles
     within grasp of febble fingers
     willing to hold on, to feel safe,
     but, deep down, insecure
grab what is real,
knowing everything is uncertain,
but believe in the choices
you make can and will change
life as you know it
     sit, think, feel your future
     unfold with every choice made
     hold on, not too tight,
     things chould change in a second
but always believe, always know
you can and will succeed
feel that hunger to succeed

Evilness Expires

people plunged endlessly into the search
because the evilness had affected us
in ways that forever shattered the cottage
town and the surrounding areas, a center
of operation emerged in the early evening
hours in an effort to find the responsible
suspect to the early morning mishap

many thinking minds expires, tired and weary,
after looking and wondering all night,
as the closing bell rang, loudly and piercing
to the confused minds of the town folk,
we realized each were to blame, for all
added to the confusion and blatant irresponsibility
of a friendship gone sour, no longer sweetened
with kindness, care, and love, we parted
