You are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. James 4:14 |

This new year, I'm sixty-nine years old, All I can say to those who will hear, Your life is quite precious, stay as young as you can, Don't shirk away from your fellow man, For every year once new, Finds it's end. |
My brain is now numb, But sometimes it's not, I've got to train hard, Not to be such a snot. My rhymes may suffer, When flowers are sweet, Lost in the fusion where, Space and time meet. Read between my words, You just might find, Some seeds of wisdom, May grow from your mind. |
When comes the time, For me to go, My destination, I don't know. I suspect, The way I cope, My heart speaks, Therefore I hope. There is a promise, I've been told, To which I cling, Tighter than gold. The end will descend, As a snow-white dove, With the gift of peace, And the gift of love. |
my eyes are sore my lungs wheeze and gurgle I lie here and don't want to get up I hear the TV in the living room but this bed is my island of solitude I cough without infecting anyone the furnace tries to keep the house warm as it drains my bank account I can only afford to reflect on the folly of my youth I was a juvenile so very truly juvenile |
So upset to remain in debt, Yet I forget financial threats, May some sweat beset regrets, The fret I get, to thus reset. |
Where do the dead go after they've died? Can the woman I love see the tears I've cried? So many questions running around inside, I seldom find answers, although I've tried. Why did the Lord take her away from me? Here, she was needed by our family. Sometimes I feel the Saints are blind to my plea, Was her death worth whatever they could foresee? I'm angry and hurt although I've kept it masked, But when I stop the screams and curses I've cast She speaks through the stillness at long last, "Does there have to be a reason?" she asks. |
Deep in the night, You come to me, Stay for a while, Then want to go. The reason I cry, I don't want to fall, I want to get high, But you're not playing ball. Who's the other mister? Lady don't you lie, I'm not a jester, Who's the other guy? It matters if we are what we are, Tell me we're both still in love, Anything less won't get us far, It's honesty we're both worthy of. |
My cat rests on my pillow, But I feel I must lay down, I sure hate to disturb him for, His untroubled sleep is sound. I try to move him, he resists, His look says I'm dead wrong, Finally, he slides an inch, No more would he withdraw. So I lay down against my cat, With effort he gives way, I stroke his coat of warm soft fur, His purr says we're okay. |
I taste the wind upon my face, Soar down a smooth curvy road, As songbirds relate to their mates, Hair dances upon my nose, The sun blares through cool fresh air, Tires explore fresh asphalt, Acceleration presses me, Trees trek like hypersonic stars. |
