Count The Cost
Square one at the summit
To the peak from the valley
I climb this ladder
My first steps taken again
Just a rookie in another league
Promotions
Extended freedoms
Heavier burdens to bear
Pressing on
Even if it all comes crashing
Destiny is steep and vertical
Uphill struggle, higher fall...
To the peak from the valley

My first steps taken again
Just a rookie in another league

Heavier burdens to bear
Pressing on
Even if it all comes crashing
Destiny is steep and vertical
Uphill struggle, higher fall...

there’s an oyster
inside of me
of which
in the throes
of pain
and discomfiture
i fashion pearls
from sandy grains
of trouble
weaving dreams
of life’s torn canvas
painting miracles
with broken nibs
and bloody inks…

Smiling Faces
As I'm continuing to make paces and looking into faces
Seeking eye contact and smiles but there aren't any traces
Distrust erases remnants of brotherhood, sisterhood and joy
Dividing us up into little boxes like we're inanimate toys
Whose ploy was it to get us all to devolve into an animal kingdom
Where our drive is for our tribe to survive while destroying the rest of them
Sink or swim but don't expect very many to help you float
Only the strong survive so build a boat in order to stay afloat
They say to keep hope alive but mines has reached an...

Take Up The Cross
Take Up The Cross
Starting over again
I run even as I fall
Let my heart learn from its failure
Help me up
It is not the belief in me that endures
But for hopes sake
My stand is established
Reaffirmed by the grace to carry on
Pleading the blood, take up the cross...

To Watch and Learn
That, every moment comes and goes,
That, every wind whistles and passes,
That, every lightning strikes and dies,
That, every flower blossoms and falls
Something is there to watch and learn,
And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW,
For, today belongs to you and me,
But, tomorrow belongs to the GOD.
That, every wind whistles and passes,
That, every lightning strikes and dies,
That, every flower blossoms and falls
Something is there to watch and learn,
And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW,
For, today belongs to you and me,
But, tomorrow belongs to the GOD.

Ship
Oh you came upon the scene with such dazzling dreams
Enthralled for what many eyes have seen
Bedazzled all with sultry and seductive words so exquisite, so pristine
Poetic words that have rang true from days of long ago
I hear your weeps, uncertainties, your truths, the spillage from the depth of your soul
The battle must and it has to be won
Allow your fate to be your testimony for the weary ones who have no strength to continue on
Queens bow, we reign, but we never give in
We love, we live to fight another day, and then we ascend with...

This Is Me In Black And White
Triple Threat
This is me in black and white
Ready to take on the biggest challenge of my life
Endurance, endurance, and more endurance
Is this soft kitty ready to promote herself and run with the big dogs
What if I fold
Will my pride be hurt
Would I blame myself for not giving it all I got
Only to go home empty handed
Only to live with mental regrets I didn't complete
Head bowed in amazing grace
Asking my God for the biggest favor to allow these weary bones to cross the finish line

another thousand climbs
♪a rhymed, mirrored octet♪
i may have tripped a thousand times,
like eency weency spider,
but i still have some rhymes
(either or either).*
i shall not whine,
though the stir,
at times,
blurs
my chimes,
when occur
life’s bitter wines.
for i am wiser
and still i have some time,
like eency weency spider,
to try another thousand climbs.

11. Bee in the distance
As Humble flew along,
He could see some bees flying away in the distance.
He was so excited to see new bees,
That he flapped his wings as fast as he could,
To fight his way through all the turbulence.
The wind was against him, the bees so far,
But he was determined to meet them, so he flew like a shooting star.
There were two bees that seemed to bee following,
A much smaller bee who was in front.
Humble thought it must bee the leader,
Because it dodged quicker than the others could.
It zipped in and out of the tall corn...
He could see some bees flying away in the distance.

That he flapped his wings as fast as he could,

The wind was against him, the bees so far,

There were two bees that seemed to bee following,
A much smaller bee who was in front.

Because it dodged quicker than the others could.
