I am on the street
No roof
Sleeping on the pavement
Once lived in a Two Bedroom Apartment
My apartment had assortments
One night there was a knock at the door
I thought should I open or ignore?
It was the Landlord
He stated, “WHERE IS YOUR RENT?”
You see, I was working, but was laid off after working for a company for 12 years, the company was doing bad
It was good bye to this lad
I was on unemployment and received my Severance
I was living off the two sources
I was the only forces
Now the sources have been exhausted
I hadn’t paid the rent in months
The Landlord evicted me at once
The Street is where I nest
Living outside is not the best
The Shelters are not for me
They are not safe you see
Pavement life
Living my own advice
The thought of home is only within me
Alone
No Family
Regrets
Homeless into endless
This is where I roam
The street I call home
My name is not known
I am nowhere to be found
Maneuvering people and car movements are my only sounds.

No Logs
No Fireplace
No Cookout
The wood was used to craft into Toy Scale Model Buses
Sounds strange?
Yes, Wood was used in creating Genuine Authentic Moving Models
Visualize highway buses, and think of the wood being part of the setting
I am a witness to it
I have in my collection of actual buses made out of wood being the work done by a Deceased Susquehanna Trailways Motor Coach Engineer
How were these buses carved into a bus
It was careful study being the tracing and using cardboard to capture the right detail once the analysis was done
Then came constructing the wood one Carve into design at a time
I am honored to have in my bus collection of 7 Wood bus models from the creator himself and remembrance of a Trailways Motor Coach Engineer
A Motor Coach Operator with more than just drive, but a vision to create into sculpture
Eyes of Wood
Woody detail of could
Design
Craftsmanship that always came out fine.

Life was nothing
Day was like night
I wasn’t going to be polite
Blinded by darkness
The Winters were bitter
Coldness being my emotions
Cries with no tears
Desperation with every shout
What I thought was mine I could no longer control
Walls were closing in
The finale being my possible end
Alone and broke
No advise
A world that wasn’t nice
People who just don’t care
Trapped in my own dealings
Beaten down to my own selfishness
I was the only witness
Suddenly, I humbled down
I prayed
Never in my life did I pray before
There was a wonder made me explore
Through the many voices I thought I heard
What I was going through was struggles and I wanted them to end
No more hurt and no more suffering
Storms have been all part of my life
No recovery
Yet trapped within my slavery
You haven’t been in my shoes, because we don’t wear the same shoes
Tired of pain
I don’t want to hear excuses
I am reaching the point of no return
My ignorance overpowered believing
Now I am stuck on deceiving
That praying is starting to take effect
My Faith was assured in the Lord
Worry no more
From my head to my toes
The Almighty made it clear
He is always near
Nothing to fear
The record set straight
Understanding maneuvering through any fate
Praying is never too late
That is definitely something to appreciate.

It was a Newspaper caption that caught my attention, “RISE AND THINK”
I felt inspiration in those two words
But within, there was hesitation
I was asleep in my mind not wanting to think
I was meant to excel
My own accomplishment having a tell
The rise being my every step of progress
No time for recess
Think being the strategy in making. My life different than any other day and year I have ever experienced
My moment captured in time
Turning point
Rose through the rotation
Motion
Wonderful
Rose to the radiant sunshine
Overcame what has been holding me back
Encouragement
Just rise
Embrace
Taste
Fulfill
Mission
Rise

Nightmares that come to life
Directions needing advice
Through the subconscious mind no one expects
Be still as the dreams manifest
Unfold
The action straight out being bold
Wonders through the mysteries
The focus on your own history
Untold stories circulating through your mind
Almost near Death
Fear you hold dear
The Outer Limits of your own extremes
Standing along by a stream
Transcending possibilities
Face to Face with your realities
Still on pause
Dreams are the reason being your cause
The body responds
Yet no yond
You are trapped in your own cave
Disobedient as you didn’t behave
Troubled spirits within
Transcend
Take everything of your dream in
Still dreaming
Hoping
Intensifying
Dreams are waiting for your reaction
Dare to Dream the impossible
Extremes
Beyond
Arrived
Wake up
Dreamed upon
You are still among
Destiny the dreams expelled
Destined now
The dreams showed you how

Dear Diary
My moment taking a minute
I write because I found love
At first, I wanted love, but wasn’t being loved
It all changed in a big turnaround
The kiss on my lips is what started it all
It caused my body to have expelling eruptions
Then it was followed by sensations
Love had taken me over
My ***** were being fed because I was hungry, but became full
I am the witness
My room felt like a hot summer night
All intense
Temperatures seemed to rise
Energized
No need to
No need to emphasize
Love was in control
Took hold
I went over the rainbow
I was truly loved
Now you know
Got to go
Diary moment
Definitely no let down
Heart to Heart pump
Blood rushing
Diary out

Intercity bus travel that takes you far
You don’t need your car
Small Towns and Major cities
State to State
Scenery that passengers will appreciate
Picture taking to formulate
Rural Bus Stations to Terminals
The road with the Greyhound Bus in Control
America’s Icon Company that has been around
Destinations anywhere can be bound
A Bus company that operates around the clock
Maneuvering that never stops
On-Time performance in arriving on schedule
Sometimes buses can be late
Yet it is situations that the company doesn’t anticipate
Greyhound buses roll Day and Night
The headlights tell the story in plain sight
Bus Drivers greeting one another with in on and off flashing lights
Road bound
Now that describes the bus Hound
Greyhound then
Still now
That is the Greyhound bus know how
Towns folks often wave
America comes up close
Look no further than the Greyhound bus
You will always be shown the way
Welcome Aboard!
