“Academia gave me reasons
to understand botany, biology and math.
Yet, death alone could teach me more
on how temporal those lessons were.
I’m certainly, skeptical now as It was I
who agreed upon the course.
Nonetheless, I shall be marooned
with higher learning; till those bells
are not rung for me no more, and
how sad It will be
when I finally, close
my books.”

Sweet, summer rain;
cleanse my heart, and
take my pain.
I surrender those ill spent hours,
I wasted to complain.
Cause, only real love can unchain
the constant sorrows I’ve lived through.
Was a drifter; miles lost.
Everyday, I’d lose my way, with
Soggy shoes and worn out socks.
I’m sure I must have held a broken compass
or two. I’m sorry I don’t listen well
or take direction
very good… On account its hard to change,
the error of my ways.
Spare my soul…
Dear God.
Whisper low, while the pressures nigh,
remind me Lord to keep pressing on.
I’m in need of motivation, and a kiss
of Heaven’s dew.
Sweet, summer rain;
cleanse my heart, and
take my pain.
O’ Lord you’ve gotta know
who this is… I’m the one,
In the dim light of this dark and lonely room.
Hold me still I am calm, and pardon
all of my wrongs.
You’re the flower in my sunshine, and
the torch of timeless youth.
Yet, the sun will still bid me fare well,
and it’ll hurt to say goodbye.
So, Dear Lord, lead this weary stray
on home.
Oh, sweet summer rain;
cleanse my heart, and
take my pain.

Occasionally, the clouds are kind
and tinkle out some playful snow flakes.
Yet, a grumpy wind, whips
the falling snow around, blowing
them past my frozen face.
Well, I had to chase those snow flakes down
through a snow trodden cow pasture, and
over a wonderland of snow, across
a playground, and a bubbling brook
until, finally it settled on a long green
pine needle. Although, when I finally arrived
I could only watch as my favorite
snow crystal… melted away.
I debated this scene in my mind
as it reminded me of the pursuits of life.
Sure, we may not all catch success before
it melts away, but we sure do have fun
in chasing it around.

“Who ever commands
the shades of spring;
Is my creative lover.”
Moreover…
Talent like this
should be, consecrated
into the bosom of an artist’s
summer. Further more
we learn creations
skill…which fate
must yield; meaning
to us wayward
walkers. Meanwhile
let us tarry still
in gardens of outstanding
plumes of color.
Let it leap off our palate
and on to an-others.
Smell this passion
in the fragrant scenes
of spring. A charming gift from
the One, who loves us all…
My creative lover.

O’ humanity…
Why do we pretend
to not understand,
how small we really are;
In comparison to the vast universe?
Well, I’m obliged to invite you to this reverence!
Look at your selves, through the macro-
microscope. How far away, can we be seen
anyway? The Heavens appear
to go on for an eternity!
We seem a bit microscopic within
our envelope of space.
Yet, we sense we’re not exactly obscure
in the fabric of a celestial purpose.
It appears our worth is beyond
measurement. Nonetheless, this shows us
where our proper perspectives are…In the Eye
of a magnificent God.
Perhaps, we all should be
in awe of this amazing
view.

quietly in the loving
heart of a mother; yet
It echo’s loudly in the
eager ears of her little

“Nothing inspiring, ever
rusts from the inside. It shines
effortlessly on the outside of love.”

“If your life,
wants more;
tangible truth…
Then put your hand

feel the sound of a pulsing star.”
