Unknown to Many...

Cold breezes blow boldly, low feelings of losses
No passion, no action, serene scenery glosses
Tossed by swirling emotions, lonesome in this life
Pretend strife is not visible like a bridegroom & no wife
Because the standard is this, a man stands beside the Pit
Can’t deny the riff as words of love die on my lips
Tried & I tripped, fell over, but never in love’s shadow
Tragic, no warm magic surrounded & I lost the battle
Dazzled in my own light, not seeing the radiance of One
So I traveled alone, not knowing I was only a torch to the Sun
Deplored to run and falter, halted but I refrained to see
Sought the other half of my soul, but she never came to me
Remaining free, but true freedom lies in long hair locks
That shimmer with womanhood and who holds a box
In her bosom, for me and our union shall never part
She will walk beside me and cherish my heart.



As the silence from the keyboard dies miserably, Heather Headley croons “In My Mind” as though her soul had dined with my personal angel and discussed the rumblings of my soul. The notes and rhythms rippling and skipping lightly, as storm-tossed rocks are skipped over the waves of the incoming tide. In this serene enclosure, I reflect on the loneliness of a serene journey – silence only broken by the whispered prayer of Serenity. The darkness swallows and devours the cloudy air slipping from the recesses of my lungs and I trudge forward alone. The shrieking of a northern wind shrinks and surrenders to the howling of a single wolf, lost and estranged from his wolf pack familia; his savior the moon and his death the sun. In this torrid tundra his life, fueled by hunger and obsession, is flashed before his eyes faster than the flutter of the hawk’s wings as it stops the heart of one unnamed field mouse. I embrace his tiresome life and weave the threads of his travels into the heart of my own.

Gifts are Given...

Of course it felt like Monday. The chaos that normally ensues when you hit the jobsite was obvious today. Things were not going well. Things were late…jobs were not being done properly, but I pressed on as the minutes turned into hours. The stress of the morning was oppressive. The stress of the afternoon was even more stifling. But count it all joy. Normally the end of the week is smooth sailing. But normal is a cruel friend that only seems to show up when you don’t need him. I had to take a moment to just breathe and relax. In that moment God gave me a reminder – this job, this life, your assets are His gifts. God has allowed me to be in this position during this season and He is controlling this job. He gave it to me and in His wisdom He can take it away. It’s easy to stress or become frustrated over things that you think you control. But when you realize that you are where you are not because of your intelligence or hardwork or strength or resolve, then the picture becomes...

Ready for War...

The battle rages, from zero to infinite ages The blood drips, tasteless, and without fragrance The stench is foul, so flagrant, as I gaze in amazement The days when stars were a’blazing and Geico’s cavemen Saints blend in, defensive to sin, so they’re offensive to men Soul food’s not made in the kitchen my friend Visit with Him then ask for deliverance then Strap on the armor….you’re on a mission to win Dissent will come then as the demons are gathered And spring from the stronghold…but none of that matters I’ll take the Spirit and leave them all tattered Smashed into fine matter and leave their bones scattered Tell them stay off my lawn, equipped with Bibles and brawn Praising God with old songs and daring hellhounds to come Lucifer threw down his gauntlet, I’m dressed exclusive in blessings Satan made it to the playoffs…but heaven wins the series in seven Always testing, never resting, my God equipped me for stress And gave me resolve to keep living until He lessens my breath I’m imp...
