A passenger train simply known as the “EXPLORER”
It’s a departure with a long distance ride
Step aboard and recline as it’s the luxuries the passenger train will provide
Coach seats in just lean back and you are sitting in a recliner
What could be finer?
Besides the coach passenger cars
There are also sleepers
I call them Human Bed Folding Surprise
Because when you must use the toilet, the bed one must rise
However, our train is all glass
Elegance with name in having class
Scenery you will never miss
A new train adventure having a new twist
Mountains that will be close up
Tunnels going through mountains
The train getting waves from on-lookers as the train passes by
Majestic up close
Picture taking capturing the moment with a vacation to boast
Imagine, we will be travelling coast to coast
Station stop upon station stop
Views from every hill top
This passenger train that only a Writer would love
Writing detail oriented illustrations
A train that has its own Mirror Reflect
Adventure having a detect
As the signals meet the rails
A getaway that has no fail
It’s only rails that follow having a trail
The “EXPLORER” identification travels the rails like a guide
The sun even fades in the mountain ridges trying to hide
Indian Teepee’s with nothing but fun
Yet the “EXPLORER” can never be outdone
It’s the passenger experience in togetherness like family among
It’s only when we return at the conclusion of our trip, we will be totally done
As for the rate of this passenger train trip stands at Number One.

But in reality, the story had that much effect.
It involves a crime write
It’s Villains that will be apprehended in plain sight
This doesn’t happen at night
The dialog is about two Villains and a Bank
But one of the Villain’s partner always is acting shrank
Yet, it was bank robbing to do
But the question remains, did these Villains think the Bank Heist through?
It seemed there were a lot of mistakes
They were robbing a bank for goodness sake
Their lives are at stake
One of the Villains set off the bank alarm
While the other Villain just couldn’t stay calm
Truth in not using their common sense with a mind
Perhaps even sounding sublime
The idea was to rob the bank without being detected
But the camera caught up and close personal being suspected
Inspector Poet was on the scene
He wrote and spoke, you Villains need to come clean
Inspector Poet also wrote, how stupid to get caught
The Police immediately arrived, and the Villains were taken to jail followed by Court
The Villains didn’t even fight
There were five police cars and back up was with might
Time doesn’t offer respect, but can have an outright effect
These Villains had no idea in what to expect
But Inspector Poet called this story one of his rejects

STORM ALERT
preservationman Jul 2021
I remember a song stating, “Don’t be afraid of the storm, but hold your head high”
You questioned me about my own storms
I fell down, but got up
I then walked on
Faith surrounded me
My arms were raised in praise
I knew it was God’s amaze
Yet you kept questioning me again about my storms
But do you even know what your storms were in your life?
A storm can be devastating, but also a learning experience through one’s living
Faith is the answer and behind it is the Lord in don’t be alarmed
Lightning is the advice
Rain becomes the many showering blessings
The wind is comfort in being at ease
Hail is the battle, but victory comes from on high
Praying that sustains into Lord help me please
The storm is a reminder, the Lord being the Great I Am
Storms are struggles that everyone must go through
It’s asking for guidance in how to pursue
Storms help one understand
One must be able to stand and face the storms approachable
As my Deceased Grandmother would often say, “We will understand after while”
Storms are turbulence between your mind and soul
Yet the same storms can also be rewards
Blessings unmeasurable
Eye on the skies and being wise
Storms being the norm
Storms surround our lives all about
Don’t be alarmed, the storms won’t harm

A sermon that was preached
The blessings in encouragement that you shall reach
However, continue to read your bible in educating you in teach
Why do the wicked get?
While others seemed to be overlooked in forget
As the sermon went on, the reward shall come along
But Jesus is truly where you belong
The testimony is about to confess
Don’t be disillusioned and let your faith come down to less
Standing in the elevator at work, the testimony of one got a surprise compliment that was made
A fellow associate from another department stated, “You are thorough in what you do and being efficient and I appreciate you in your efforts”
Well that was a surprise in what the sermon said all along
I guess it was encouragement in thought to preserver
Then an email arrived
This was no jive
I was offered an opportunity to take surveys online
It was from Greyhound Bus Lines being the sponsor and a Research Company
Greyhound being the company that I love
It’s Heaven’s way in helping me to see how my blessing relates
A sermon well done
It’s God all the way being the one
It’s the faith in believing with inspiration that can never be outdone.

It was a departure that could be from any city
There would be a thought with oh what a pity
Yet a destination that could be anywhere
But on this particular bus trip there is no arrival
It seems a there was a murderer on the Hound bus
A Moon that hung high in the clear night
Cruising on the highway despite
The only light on the highway was the bus Headlights
While the passengers were all asleep
One passenger was awake thinking deep
The murderer suddenly makes his move with everything to prove
Immediately, a Passenger was strangled to death being unable to breath, and any sounds
All this was happening while the others passengers were in a deep sleep and there was no thought of sheep
Suddenly, a passenger noticed the strangled passenger wasn’t moving nor breathing
One of the passengers alerted the Hound Bus Driver
The Driver pulled the bus to the side
However, the murderer was trying to look incident
Suspicion aboard
Oh Lord
The Bus Driver signaled the authorities
This was going to an investigation being top priority
Everyone aboard the bus was questioned

Another greyhound bus from the opposite direction in sight
Both Greyhound buses flashed on and off of lights
This was a form of communication in being polite
Yet darkness had control throughout the night
The moon could be seen in plain sight
It also highlighted the highway below
But cars, buses and trucks were keeping up with the highway flow
As our Greyhound bus pushed on
It was a journey in long and waking up in a yearn
It would be about arrival time
This is what our Greyhound Driver had in mine

This immigration reject has gone too far
Now our President thinks he is another Czar
If that is not enough
Listen to this scruff
Now the President wants to change the poem Plague on the Statue Of Liberty
The Statue Of Liberty is a symbol of Freedom
“Come one Come All”
Our President wants to change the Statue Of Liberty Poem to “Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet, and who will not become a public charge”
That is not the Freedom way
It sounds totally for immigrants to completely stay away
It’s the year 2019
The theory in don’t make America here
We don’t want you to become our heir
Imagine being on a cruise ship passing an Angry Statue Of Liberty
It’s a face of hate
A Statue Of Liberty that no one would appreciate
Picture the Statue Of Liberty arm pointing to get out
Our Forefathers put the Constitution into law
They conquered and saw
The Constitution was written in stone
That means the President should leave alone
The Statue Of Liberty Poem states in what it should say
But the President can’t just get his way
I wouldn’t be surprised if Liberty Island becomes Forbidden Island
The President is adding “Don’t you dare
America is a place of beware
The Statue Of Liberty is a landmark
Now it will have a Trump Scar

A freight train just sitting in the yard
Yet from a hill it could be seen from the courtyard
A young boy who marveled trains
It was his heart being sustained
The boy stepped down from the hill
His Sister told him to keep still
But he was determined at his will
The boy looked into one of the freight cars
The freight train was preparing to depart, and it was going to be far
The boy smelled the scent of bananas in the freight car
As the boy entered in
The freight train pulled out on the signal of when
The freight train door closed and tracked the boy
The train then pulled off
The boy thought, “He was alone”
But was he?
He peeked through the train’s open hatch
He saw churches in the distance along the way
There were many words in thought he could say
But the freight train was still moving astray
Well the word got out that a boy was trapped on the train
The train was stopped at Buzzards Point, a small rail yard
The Engineer was told there is a boy aboard
There were 20 freight cars
Luckily in the fifth freighter car was opened up, it was the boy standing
The boy was asked by one of the rail yard workers, “You felt funny in the freighter being alone”
The boy replied, “I wasn’t exactly alone”
Even though physically you are alone, but spiritually, there is always

Procedures the Roadrunner himself must abide
There is no absolute reason to hide

There is everything to prove
Making the office run smooth
But what if the Roadrunner wasn’t around?

Functions not be done
There wouldn’t be any Roadrunner among
In fact, the Executive floor wouldn’t be fun
So Roadrunner, keep doing your thing

STRATEGY GAME
preservationman Apr 2015
Eye to eye on the opponent
A strategy for me to explore
A beginning before any score
I am ready with my silver sword
Before I begin, I want to salute my Lord
Cling Cling to the other opponent’s sword
A battle to the finish
Who will be victorious and distinguished?
The opponent raises his sword to catch me off guard
Yet my plan being a strategy
A mind game to confuse my opponent
My sword will be the victorious one
We are doing battle and far from done
My sword is my king and eye from Heaven being the thing
Suddenly the other opponent hits the ground
It’s his sword falling in the making the sound
My sword is pointed at the opponent’s chest
The same sword could end his life
Shall he live or should I cut off his breath?
This is a moment to be victorious
But since my sword cokes from the Lord, I will let the other opponent live
After all, this was a pillar of Strategy War
This wasn’t a war to the death
It was a war in showing who was confident and assured
Who was the best and who should get applause
The sword had a reflecting light with someone’s name
The name being Lord Victorious
A war being nothing more than a game
But with coaching in knowing I was the tame
No negative vibe of blame
The strategy war in what I saw
It was the test of endurance and confidence in being sure.

Your cries have been heard
But continue too live and learn and just observe
Christ is your best teacher to explore
However if you chose to not to respond, it becomes a consequence of backlash of ignore
Seek Christ while he yet can be found
Otherwise within a moment’s notice there wouldn’t be a sound

You will be up against numerous opposition in foes who want you too crumble to defeat
But the Lord is powerful and almighty knows the defense in keeping you on your feet
This is what your Grandmother’s prayers seek

But when battles seem long and you feel enough is enough
Just call on the Lord and he has seen the then, when and he will continue to fight your battles until the very end.

He was a sea captain who ran a very tight ship
The ship’s name was “Evil Drift”
Captain Hammersaw treated his crew as if they were slaves
Punishment would be harsh if they didn’t behave
Once during a fierce storm, the waves would often overpower the ship and hit the deck, and cause it too dip
When one of his crew made a mistake in following the captain’s orders, Captain Hammersaw would throw a crewmember in the sea to the sharks
Captain Hammersaw would attempt to maneuver the ship and avoid the rocks
He was a shrewd Captain with determined powers
Captain Hammersaw could make one walk the plink with no time to think
Also the same that would feed anyone too the fishes of Davey jones Locker
But most importantly, Captain Hammersaw was a pirate that goes after treasure he wants and gets
But in Captain Hammersaw’s mind, there are no regrets
With the show of the sword, Captain Hammersaw is always determined in not to share
He is a captain you need to proceed in caution in beware
A man of the sea, an image figure who all can see
Into the waves of a ship’s unknown, and the fog that hide with the tails of another tide.

As the book opens feeling upset
Eventually it will become a bet
Eat at your own risk
But you need to think on this
There was a woman named Maria Forsure, who loved to cook
But for someone who didn’t know how to cook, it sure made people shook
It was how Maria would cook
But all you had to do was just look
That’s all it took
The fact Maria didn’t know her way around the oven
Don’t even mention the word bake in being a dozen
Once there was dinner at Maria’s house
The idea even scared a mouse
If the meat was duck
If it wasn’t cooked, it was just plucked
As the guest were talking in the living room
There was a certain boom
The oven door was open and the duck was on the ceiling
No one knew what actually happened
A change of plan in what to serve
It wouldn’t be Duck, as the guest didn’t deserve
A Hamburger to the rescue
Are you sure you want to follow that cue?
People often got sick when eating Maria’s food
It would be a nearby toilet of the stool

Maria’s meal certainly didn’t have appeal
It was simply a nightmare being for real.

But knowing the truth one must be able to except the truth
Believing the truth is real
But along with truth comes lies
However that should be no surprise
A perfect example is when the WHITE HOUSE makes a statement it becomes a questionable though being truth with a lie mixed in
It wasn’t until when
There was no truth from the very beginning
Lies become the forefront
Truth was never meant to be the font
Real truth is real understanding with wanting to expel the truth
But Dr. Dyson explains the truth right out and being direct
“Fact is and it is fact that will stay”
Lies don’t make it right, but they do try with no understanding and guidance behind it
Truth is knowledge within the understanding, and the theory of precise logic in strategy
So what does truth sound like?
Make a Truth statement and watch for the response
Can you handle the truth?

Their personality changed at the end
Suddenly without reason I was told by the so called friend that I was a user
This led me into being the actual accuser
I asked how could you accuse when I helped you when you were in a jam
It’s like feeling a door slam
I also lend you money and because I was a friend I didn’t ask for it back
After while it became a shouting match
Attitude’s all caught up in catch

It had nothing to do with age
I was not through wanting friends being my end
Then someone was walking down the street and encouraged me not to give into defeat

He is an excellent overseer in warning you about things before they actually happen in advance
It’s evil that wants to prance, but God who is the chance

I responded, “I must climb this mountain”

But when greatness comes so does the Devil’s plot

Get yourself comfortable, and have a cup of hot tea or wine if you prefer
It was a cold winter night when the snow was falling heavy and the winds that blew

It would be an overnight ride arriving at the North Pole at 7:00 am
We the Polar Express did just that
There were so many events moving enroute, it is hard to keep track
In fact, a melody of love of a song,” Love in the air, my heart doesn’t compare”
But now that Mary and Joseph, they are ready to disembark from the train
Next destination being the North Pole Paradise Hotel

It was a Big Pretty Horse Shield ride, and of course a Driver was provided
Arriving at their Hotel oasis, the Honeymoon can now begin
But it surely was cold at outside
So the couple sipped on wine while they dined
The honeymoon continued in the snow

A wood carved from real outside trees
It was trained craftsmen hands such as these
A fancy craftsmen’s design
The Mahogany finish
It’s what makes the wood distinguished
Crafting with a design no one has ever seen
It’s the masterpiece shine with the bleen
Making it easy to clean
The wooden cabinet offering plenty of space
Leading nothing in become an obsolete waste
A wooden masterpiece
A craftsmen patent, but can’t be released
A wooden cabinet any wardrobe would be proud
A structure not looking loud
A creation well put together
The wood cabinet being like no other.

CONGREGATION COME FOLLOW ME
preservationman Jul 2015
The Pastor and I was carrying a Navy Blue Cloth
The entire congregation followed
There was no singing and talking
We got to this wooden shed
We laid the navy blue cloth on what seemed like a wooden bed
The Pastor announced, “This blue cloth can’t be with us and this is a must”
Then the Pastor, myself and congregation walked back from where we started prior
As we walked, the Pastor and congregation stopped to pray
However there was a relay
Then my eyes became focused, and I noticed my Grandmother on the side decked out in white
Later I stated to my Grandmother, “You are part of this also”
I was then blessed to wake up with full of praises that made me be spiritual caught up
Even though this was a dream
It was my subconscious being the stream.

Move side to side

Maybe they were pure yanks
The Turkey being the showcase meat

The footstep up
The footstep back
Turn all around
Then head home being your own Turkey bound.

HOUNDMAN COMETH
preservationman Feb 2016
A man with passion for the Hound
It was travels anywhere bound
But its that trademark racing hound
Some say I am an enthused Bus Nut
But their characterization of me is well put
State to state in only the hound can relate
A true heart that doesn’t hesitate
The thought of a bus
Yet it is the scenery being an absolute must
A friendly hand at the wheel
The relaxed comfort zone in how the passengers feel
The hound’s mission, “A REASON TO RIDE”
The sleek look in what the hound provides
But the hound’s enthusiasm goes even further
My own bus collection preservation that would amaze
It’s the enjoyment of motor coaches being a praise
The hound has strived from years before
Bus travel is for all too explore
The plane flies high above
The train travels in ward with speed to think of
The hound bringing scenery up close and personal
The love for man’s best friend
Pure togetherness until the end
Houndman Cometh who has arrived
That name being the stride
But what’s in that name?
Pure commitment being total aim
Feeling inspired without any blame
Moving along with a feeling in knowing where Houndman Cometh belongs
This is what keeps the love for buses strong
It was the Hound and Houndman taking you all for a ride
A short moment like a rolling tide but strong attention in provide.

THE PREACHER IN ME

My testimony for all to hear
My survival in taking away the fear
Death was once an end in my beginning
But through the praying hands, I was up for more innings
It was prophesized when I was only 12, 13 and 15, God wanted me to preach his word
It’s my voice being God’s choice in being heard
My eternity became a renewed tomorrow
My head was totally raised from sorrow
A valley might be considered below
But God said think high peaks and below just isn’t so
God surely brought me out
Now I have something to truly shout
Natural Doctors previously said I was at near at being dead
But Spiritual Jesus said, “Get out of that bed”
Man doesn’t have all the answers
In fact, the ideas often fall under pranchers
My encouragement to you if you only knew
My personal testimony is what spirituality can truly do
Words from my heart telling you tomorrow will come
The world only waits to get some
Salvation is for all who will accept
Dry up your tears in cries of wept

Whatever your plight?

Follow me to Heaven’s reign

But it was a motto of day by day in wait and see

Yesterday a lesson learned in knowing how to cope
The yesterday was the encouragement in planning my tomorrow
There was no need for anyone to live on morrow with added sorrow
Tomorrow has always been an opportunity to excel

God performed on me in being a miracle
Doctors suggested Death and God simply said you have time left
Death was a prerecorded message the Doctor’s own observation
But God said, “Life with breath is what I put in”
It’s enriched spiritual living that will begin
I am the Lord that says when
It’s the everlasting in eternity at the end
I have cried many times in my struggles
Jesus signaled me out that I am of his chosen one’s
My faith is what keeps me among
Jesus will always be number one
He died on the cross and defeated Death
The time clock is ticking, and the unbeliever doesn’t have much time left
As a servant of God, I will stand
I want to walk in God’s caravan
But once again, I am a witness who has experienced the spiritual Christ Voice
I opened my heart and it became my choice
My platform, “I will stand for the Lord”
He is someone everyone needs to explore
It is the Devil you need to ignore
Follow me to the Christian faith
Worship should not be on Easter alone
It’s everyday reading of the Bible what continues to be shown
It’s spiritual knowledge for us in what God has always known
A cry away is praises that stay
The shout of joy in what carries us everyday and in every way
Stand for your blessings and praises to your heart
Yes I am a witness and will continue to stand
God is righteous and he is worthy to his command
Spread the word and shout it loud
Heaven awaits and continual praises are allowed
You can believe on God’s promise
After all, God’s word is straight to the point and being honest
“Worship me now as I am your guide and protector. My many miracles
you will witness, and encourage one another. Continue to believe in me as your divine faith will be draw you closer to thee”.

Yet my wisdom came as I aged
As you continue to grow, you will see your own amaze
Once again, over the years I have seen my fears

My life creating perfection
Being proud my indication

Remember me in how my voice captured your heart
Also the impact of my talent in how it made a casting mark

You helped me to see beyond mountains and you achieve above valleys
Senator John McCain, you died with dignity and honor
Your devotion to Politics was Washington, DC’s gain
Your life will always be instilled in our hearts
Your mark being your first time as a Soldier and when you entered the floors of the Senate
Your war battles were strong and fierce
Yet you stayed the course
This gave you strength to be the Senate’s force
Achiever is your accomplishment
Each given speech was your emotions for the American people
Courage was first hand
Arizona mourns
But you passed through in a desert storm being your moment
Cactus trees saluted in honor
It was your mission that you achieved victory in every sense
It didn’t matter if was a battle with President Trump or the GOP
It was your presence in going forth for all to see
You covered both sides of the track being a Soldier and a Senator
You were the Veterans mouthpiece in fighting for their rights
Salute now and forever more
Yet, you want the American people to remember you in always being prepared to do battle
Fighting for what’s right
You opened the Senate floor in plain sight
Your scars are many
But there is only one Senator John McCain
It was commitment and responsibility that were your vital signs
However, your work was complete
Heaven called and said, “I will give you rest”
Each given period in your Senate years was a test
But you always gave your best
You passed each time
This achievement is your reward to Heaven inviting you to come up
Join the many before
Your history will follow for sure
Cannons are going off in the distance in your honor
But your spirit will always have a Washington, DC Capitol presence
You will always be remembered as the Well Spoken Resident
You ask that the American people, Family and Friends in not to cry for you
“I was a Soldier”
Hold your head up
Just Salute
Your victory has already been won
You are now in Heaven being among
Continue on my work you would say, and let my previous words be your guide
From time to time, my spirit will stop by
Washington, DC has loss but became Heaven’s gain
This is not goodbye, but until we meet again
As I laid in the Capitol Rotunda, think on me as a Veteran and a Senator
I salute you Soldier and Senator John McCain
My heartfelt sorrow and remembrance will always remain.

We all gathered together in the Home Going of Harold Smiley
The story of life in a previous daily ride
But on this day, a deceased body traveling in the stride
A funeral will take place with Coffin and all
The Family gathered in the subway car, and they are all standing tall
The subway ride with words about the deceased
Meanwhile, the subway car has made several station stops and the passenger volume has increased
Other commuters looked on
Yet some felt they didn’t belong
Imagine a Coffin with a Funeral Director and Family aboard
One could only say, “Oh my Lord”
The reason for a funeral on the subway, it was the request of the deceased
The Cemetery was 10 subway stops down
At Sweet Chariot Cemetery, it would be the burial bound
But the subway car was silent with no one making a sound
The only sound was the subway car wheels
The whole subway funeral ride felt more like a movie reel
Yet this was for real
A decreased one from a commuter subway ride in living been
But the journey has concluded with a final end.
