Thanks
I can hear
In your voice

The good fight.
I'm proud
Of you
For sticking
It through.

Magic Of New Beginnings
Stripped of leaves of hope and confidence
You're caught in winter's cold embrace
Snow covers you like a white shroud
Hold on, little tree, your rebirth is near
Spring will assist you as your midwife
The scent of flowers lingers in the air
A soft breeze caresses your barky skin
Sun rays worship your swelling buds
Birds chirp sweet melodies of longing
A swallow builds and artfully nest
The Man of Green asked for your hand
Put on your floral white wedding dress
Open up completely, don't hold back
Celebrate the holy...

Untitled, too
When your choices are clear
and your intention is true
not even god can deter you from walking
the path unfolding beneath your feet.
No manner of temptation or distraction
can draw your affixed attention
no twisted contraption of mental masturbation
will blur the lines that you’re meant to follow.
A slave to the cosmic fiddle with
eyes glaring at the truth rewriting itself
in the blackboards of your mind
Solutions slowly disentangling the neuron knots.
Deny all you want as you will
there is little hope in going...

The "Navigator "
If ever, however I lose my way in need of navigation a GPS to lead me back from going astray!
A guiding light through the fog, even when I'm feeling weak like a digital signal or analog!
Seeking to navigate and create a way back into your heart, a place full of warmth and love which brings us together like a hand ✋ and glove!!
Back where I belong in the comfort of your open and welcoming arm's!
From the beginning all along I just needed you to be there for me my motivator, and inspirator from the beginning 🙏 to the end you've...

Ain't Nobody coming
We all waiting.
For a sign. For a savior.
For the stars to align, for the right time,
for some kinda miracle to show up
and make sense of this mess we call life.
But what if nobody’s coming?
What if the hands you been reaching for
are the same ones you got folded in your lap?
See, we been conditioned to crave,
to feel like we missing something.
That next job, next love, next feeling,
like there’s a piece of the puzzle
forever slipping between our fingers.
But who told you that you weren’t already whole?
That the answer...

Breaking the cycle
They are generations of alcoholics
Addicts and abuse
racism, hatred and Envy
with every excuse
THERES mental illnesses
that will never be addressed
And family members dress it up
with their very best
THERE ARE SINS THAT THEY HOLD
AND SECRETS NEVER TOLD
AND THEY LAY TO REST
BUT WE ARE THE GENERATION OF SCHOLARS AND QUEENS
LAWYERS AND DOCTORS
AND MANY KINGS
OUR CHILDREN ARE
THE COLLEGE GRADS
YES WE HAVE
REAL CHEFS
AND DON’T BE MAD
THE FIRE FIGHTERS
THE TEACHERS
AND...

La La Land
La La Land
I am in La La Land and I do not care.
Here in La La Land everything is fair.
I do not worry 'bout no money.
I do not need a car.
Here in La La Land nothing is very far.
I met a man here too.
Said he has been here for years.
He is a lookin' for you.
So we have been here waitin',
sometimes lookin' around
but so fare you are nowhere to be found.
You should come here though,
place is really nice.
Weird how it's operated by a couple'a mice.
Housin's a good deal.
Place is rent...

Foolish Thoughts
For I do not stand at the pulpit to preach in judgement of others. So that I will not drown in the sin of self righteousness. Nor take ownership, of wisdom and knowledge, nor claim to be the author of the two. Because the sun shines on my flesh as do yours. When I am in thirst I seek water as others do. When in hunger I sit at the table as others do. As others do I am repelled by the scent of my own droppings. Yet I may be the vessel that can convey, a message filled with knowledge and wisdom. Yet I seek not praise from others. Nor do I praise myself, lest I too become a idolator, and find...

So Richly Chased...
Too few torrid tales our past could now tell
if we could just play 'Do you remember?'
but such astounding things they'd ring love's bell
round the cosmos's last, dying ember...
And oh, how fiercely rich, our brief time came,
that all Titans' black oil could not purchase
these memories, Fort Knox's gold, mere grain
compared to your dream, here, so richly chased.
But as our brief life reaches its full height
the deepest sleep descends to quench our schemes,
when time starts to stick in its sneaky knife
I...

Don't Walk Back
Don't walk back
Walk forward
If you have to look back
Remember the mountains
Forget the sickly swamp
To spend your nights
Sifting through ash
Searching for answers
Questions of the past
With no end
Until daylight breaks us
From the questioning night
Wake and
Walk forward
Walk forward
If you have to look back
Remember the mountains
Forget the sickly swamp
To spend your nights
Sifting through ash
Searching for answers
Questions of the past
With no end
Until daylight breaks us
From the questioning night
Wake and
Walk forward
