The sun escapes the highlands as the afflicted bow down
in prayer mourning with the sunset to prepare us for tomorrow,
rich devotion enthralls our souls guiding us to pursue greatness
in every way light is received, generating residual smiles and happy visions
persuading us to meet each other’s needs, countless transactions
are made sharing gazes and stares loosing all doubt that gods plans
are bountiful and grand, plethora of detail wrapped for each of us to handle
with care, touching a spirit resumes holiness and nearly unfolds
before thee as we touch a hand or grasp an understanding for more,
a simple desire yearns inside to uncover our years spent on
the sidelines taking in the truth of life waiting for the right time
to stand up and cheer, now is the time, don’t wait til the sunsets,
the light speaks to us all determining our worth, there is no time to waste
let it mold you with divinity and pursue you til infinity marking your pathway
with dazzling torches to the gates that embrace your heart forevermore,
tell someone you love them before it gets dark
Time
In a minute your life can change
What would you like it to say about you
Have you gained the respect you are due
And have you accomplished your dreams
So many streams of light flow through
what meets with the eye of the matter
so many times you’ve suffered
And it’s true you’ve earned your keep
So stop weeping about your past
It does not define you
Let your life shine it’s beauty into the depths
Of high waters and let this ocean
Be true to who you are
And in it rests the wonder of your heart
Keep going and never give into your failure
Let it be fuel to your fire
And regard it as small compared to what marks
Your path.
Surely you have enough confidence to claim your ways today
As remarkable.
So many nights I lay awake
Thinking of how to date
Myself
Is it by my age or is it bigger
Than something meant to take
My years away.
Might I admit that I
Like feeling older
It helps me see more
And understand my hope
Is impressed with tales
So many of them take me
Beyond an expression
The love, the hate,
The worship, the memories
Take me to my limits
And suggest I continue
To express my fortitude
Is in how I deliver myself today
Not yesterday,
What possesses me is my very own
Succession of leadership
Skills I have honed in on my entire life
This is the courage it takes to resume myself
Not as imperfect but as remarkably
Perfect.
Today I am courageous admitting
My failures and my past do not mark me today
And may I absorb in this passion of life
What does not conform me
But inform me for my future tests.
I rest in this.
Many days I sit
And look at the bevel in the mirror
Thinking that my age
Is to share with the edge
And it’s clear
That my mere character says
Don’t let the mirror
Play into my fear
I wonder what my age
Will look like some day
And let it take away dismay
And bring with it
Comfort of sharing my
Heart with a bevel
Meeting my eye
To deceive the true colors
Of something so untouched as
My pride.
My dimensions of my psychy
Offer a feeling of being
Tied down
With The provisions
And ascensions
Not yet used
How clever Of a way
To say I feel abused
I could be
Monumentally
Recharged if I could
Focus on what
Should open
The doors to my
Insight lures me closer
Investing
In the best of me
guessing me through prosperity
so many answers I’m looking for
when will they meet me at the shore?
I must just wait at that gate
So that I don’t tempt time
But let fate choose me in mine.
Forever
My infinity
Takes heart
That you part
With your failures
And offer your recourse
To be an art
Persuading your duty
To own what you show
On the outside
Will also make
Amends with
The beauty
On the inside.
Stopping time won’t tell you
How you are or how you’re found
It only says what abounds
And the difference between
What meets the concrete
Or the sea
Is only in your moment
To prove your religion
Is the truth you hold to
And what keeps you going.
