God's not there
He's right here

Only a whisper away
Not distance of a day

As He rays in instants
He's not so distant

There maybe no barks
Yet He's at your back

If He lives in you
Surely you'll hue

When you're down
He's no clown

Just as assured
Your life is insured

Take a deep breath
And savour His vast breadth

He's with you
You'll surely hue

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again

I don't wish to be clever

For some
       it's hard to fail
        good luck intervenes
        they prevail!

People avoid the obvious

she realized
that her heart always
pounded harder
on the climb up
the mountain
than on the stroll back down

and i guess that’s why
she learned to
romanticize the hard—

i guess she craved the sound
of her own heartbeat
really she craved
anything that reminded her
of how rare it is
to be alive
