Granddad I know you are deceased
But I have some remembrance that needs to be released
I know you are looking down on me from Heaven
I still remember your words even at seven
You had encouraged me from the time of my birth
You taught me new skills for what they would be worth
All this you did before you left this earth
You made me practice typing for 4 hours a day
Then you told me up the ladder this way
It was those inspiring words you used to say
In some way, my day would always be ok
I also remember you stating, “Chose a word from the dictionary and incorporate in my vocabulary”
You wanted be to an intellectual solidarity
Your inspiration was for me to achieve
Higher education you wanted me to receive
Your words to try
Start thinking from I
Your vision of me as a commodity
Involvement in business with society
Your persuasion for me to explore
This was in case if I wasn’t sure
I continue to remember you always in the now
It was your teachings in showing me how
You are looking down on me and feeling proud
Time has a base that is simply allowed
Granddad your wisdom being next to none
But you will always be my number one.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?
preservationman Feb 2015
A name as a middle being “Featherson”
Manu people have general middle names, but prior my name was out of the ordinary
A middle name I will never ever use
In fact, it was a name that I totally refused
I don’t know what my Father was thinking of
If I went through life with a middle of Featherson
That is the reason when I was 15 I had my name changed
I didn’t want the Featherson to be in between
Too some people I am being just mean
My original name was Anthony Featherson Brown
Today I am Anthony Charles Blake
I am named after my Grandfather and a Celebrity Star
So what’s in a name?
It all depends if your middle name won’t make you feel shame
It’s your heart in what will remain
A name that you were born with, then later as different name waking up from a yond.

THE POETRY WORDS HAT
preservationman May 2016
Not a pull a rabbit out of the hat
Beyond the spelling word of cat
Put your hat on your head
Let it be your motivating stead
Don’t let it be defeat within a bout
Certainly think your thoughts completely out
Write on with your concept in place
**** down things on your mind so it doesn’t erase
Write clearly what you feel coming straight from the heart
No it’s not a tum’s moment
Visualize right from the start
Become your own writing mad hatter of poetry
Your thoughts having a magical twist with the inspiration coming from a hat
Your mind idea in being its own amaze at that
Then look at where your words arrived at
Destination being the arrival of the sentence, and the period making the writing complete.

THE SWISPERING STORYTELLER
preservationman Oct 2016
I was sitting high above the world on a mountain
But in the distance below I could see a fountain
Suddenly a rush of wind started to blow
Somehow my understanding became in the know
Yet the breeze was refreshing in a captivating flow
Immediately inspiration popped in
However I wasn’t even thinking in the moment of then
But it wasn’t until that wind
I knew a vision of living had set in
Even high above, I looked below to where I lived
I had achieved, but there was still more for me to give
It was that moment that really opened my eyes
My thinking became more being wise
Understanding moved into knowledgeable
Enable was able
Wisdom in vision
Reasons having no seasons
All from one blowing wind
A breeze that says one can
It’s all up to you in the matter of when
Don’t let tomorrow go by
You only get just one try.

Black History Month is where we salute our Afro-American Pioneers
Their sheer talent helps us every day to preserver
Their struggles in showing us how to overcome
They laid down the plan in how it is done
Their influence giving us endurance
Achieve knowledge in putting education first
Negativity speak out with an outburst
Presenting their pride and making it their stride
But throughout, it’s what the Lord did provide
Their eyes beyond the oceans
Their experiments being notions
A moment to reflect being their emotions
There were many great Afro-Americas
Yet hidden within the shadows, there were greats that have never been shown and known
They are your individual forefathers families who have guided you in your years, you, and only you can give them recognition known
Now my personal inspiration is my Grandfather, which I am making Full Blown
Achievement after achievement
Commitment after commitment
Determination after determination
Accomplishments in action having a focal point
Understanding with inspiring words as they spoke
Demeanor for us to preserver
Their knowledge is what they gave us in share
Our Afro-American pioneers broke race barriers
A locked door became an idea to open the door
It was a matter of understanding then explore
We became the thinker and as we grew, we became wise
It’s pure logic with not having a surprise
The sundown may have called their finale
Yet their legacy became our prospering alley
We stand with our fist up because of the dignity and pride from within
Thinking on the past from then
Yet ever achieving on can
But it’s total remembrance from when
Eye to eye, voice to voice, numerous spoken words with lots of inspiration in knowing how to be heard.

My life could have come to an end
But God smiled and simply stated, “Your life has only begun”
Destiny being a promise

The idea is prayer, and use it being concrete instead
A chapter of the final page could have been established
But in control was the whole divine being in obvious
I am lucky too be alive

Then it was off to College in getting Higher Education to preserver
All the above I did
I have no regret and thank myself for making the try
But my Grandfather wanted me to have more
So it was the Piano and ***** he wanted me to explore
The Career my Grandparents wanted to too strive was to be a “Court Reporter”
Well I didn’t go quite in that order
I wanted to go into a totally different field
It was to be a “Broadcast Journalist” which I felt would be ideal
However I did achieve in business detail
My Grandfather and God are who helped me preserver

The Lord took me on a journey in my dream
I felt like it was a theater movie stream
The Lord guided me around the Heavenly gates
It looked like a very wealthy estate
I didn’t step nowhere else of Heaven because I was still in the flesh
Remember Flesh and Blood shall never enter the Kingdom of Heaven because of sin
Heaven was constructed in majesty of gold
It was the Angels showing me look and behold
Angels were singing and there was plenty of Joy
All I could say was “Oh Boy”
I later responded to the Lord with, “How soon can I leave Earth?”
The Lord’s response, “It’s not your time”
I was then transported back to Earth
I later woke up and felt a new birth
I totally rejoiced and had plenty of praise
God is awesome and Almighty of amaze
I knew Heaven couldn’t let me in
Flesh and Blood was still in sin.

LET ME MOTIVATE YOU
preservationman Feb 2018
You must have confidence being assurance
You should also have untiring endurance
But the whole idea is being convincing with influence
You must be a direct coach
Being able to communicate and not choke
Every motivating speech must have an agenda to the audience you seek
The bottom line is not be weak
The platform must have a curriculum
It’s what to say and how to say it in inspiration
Positive words in getting the motivating experience across
Being knowledgeable having a concrete enforce
However, being a strong motivator in having a target that hits
The subject matter must be materials that fit
The lectures should be encouragement and not quit
The idea is motivation being the Take Charge approach
“Motivate to attract within”
There comes a new outlook of begin
Motivation comes in getting the audience into participation
You will get a response of information
So you see motivating is not hard after all
Yet it’s being the platform coach being the call
Motivation establishes in encouragement for all
Now some in the audience you won’t reach in motivate
It will be because some in the audience can’t relate
But enforce its never too late
That’s a true motivator

Struggles make one strong and not condone to defeat

The announcement has been called, “Welcome Aboard, and claim your seat at Gate 15”
Think Greyhound and Trailways
It was back in those days
Two bus companies who were competitive
But each company had their own objective
It was outdo the other by being the best
As for the customer, it was their test
It was achieving in passenger in destination in rides
It was revenues that would be strides
So Greyhound was the dog and Trailways had the Eagle
Trailways being an Eagle to soar beyond the possibilities
As for the Hound dog, it was like a race in a speed run
The essence were both their flashing lights
They were often seen day and night
It would be schedules around the clock
No matter what kind of weather, it was no time to stop
From sunrise to sundown
The Hound Dog and the Eagle could be found
But there was a change in the bus lanes
The Independent Trailways is now in the Greyhound family in a merger of combined operations
Some Trailways Terminals were converted into Greyhound Terminals
While others were closed completely
But at the same token, Greyhound had moved into Transportation Centers not being their own Terminals
The perfect example of that is the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City
The idea is to cut expenses while reducing economical costs
But what is left in the bus lanes today is small independent Trailways carriers, which even today, Greyhound shares
Those independent Trailways carriers cover various parts of the United States
So Greyhound and Trailways names you know
Although
Greyhound still reigns supreme in the tow
But you have bargain buses that stop on the streets in the flow
Bus Lanes may have changed
But the Greyhound name still remains
The highway bus lanes of the past, but Greyhound is still accelerating the dog moving fast
Bus lanes know
Whether it be the Hound or the Eagle
Both were born to achieve
But Greyhound is still here to preserver
So Highway Bus Lanes, have no fear

Heaven is definitely a place you would appreciate
Remember Revelations scripture in words in what they say
God’s purpose is too save, and those who believe on the Lord shall not perish
Yet Evildoers shall receive the raft of fire unless you repent
Ashes to ashes in where one’s spirit went
But it is the glorification that one should desire
We are all God’s servants and he is the empire
Prosper in the honor of the Lord
Then your heart will swirl
Watch the skies as they change
I am the Heaven and I am the power to rearrange.

The thought of the American Eagle flying with dignity and pride
This is how we as Americans should stride
But explore America and enjoy the ride
The Red, White, and Blue that always comes through
Yet the American Flag always waves with a mission to pursue
America being the forefront as the center of the world
Country after Country with voices that swirl
Yes this is America of the world
My Country Tis of Thee, America the Beautiful and God Bless America
The foundations that have made America strong
Now if we all could just get along
America lets unite
We are the might
Happy Birthday America being the fireworks that shines bright.

To the Earth Below
I am Heaven and follow the flow
Perfection you do not own
It comes from me the Lord and I am letting it be known
There are no little I’s nor little U’s
To Ministers who preach my word
It’s all about salvation that should be heard
Don’t shutter aside my sheep whose my praise
I am the Lord God who has amaze
What I control I can command to stop
Remember Heaven is above and I reign on top
Your eyes think you have truly seen
I am the true assurance of been
My Church believers feel they are already Heaven bound
But have you encouraged others in making the praying sound?
Round and round you thought, but salvation is what I Presented and brought
Be my Ambassadors and continue to encourage my word
Are you listening as I want to make sure I am heard?
Words are continuous
Living on uncertain terms at a moment’s notice
It’s my teach in everlasting will

A troubled world that is leading to its own understanding
Precious Lord, the world needs guidance in how to respect, Judge Not and embrace one another

Race wars of hatred not a world you wanted to be
Yet agenda’s is what the world wants to see
The world can’t do it alone
The world needs a foundation in solid strength
But it’s your footsteps in helping the world go the length
I need you to be with world every step of the way
My praise extends high
You have my honor because you are thy

There was an immediate pause
But one man appeared in clear view sight, his name Gausley Fray
A man who had a good heart
He knew how to inspire being his mark
Gausley simply said, “Lord I am ready to come home”
The Lord responded, “Heaven is a place where one can roam”
But Gausley also left his words of adornment
I must leave you now
But I left my trademark legacy in living now
Heaven is a very comfortable place
It is something time will never ever erase
I don’t want you all to continue to mourn

Living is a beginning with enriched Faith
I love you all
Always remember me being that call
I will be at every post of Heaven waiting for my love ones and friend’s arrival
But just think, we will see each other again

My inspiration has comforted you during your thinking then
So enrich, embrace, love one another, but don’t follow the other

I am not saying Goodbye
Please don’t cry
Turn a challenge of effort with my inspiration in try

In Heaven’s name, let your life be a new begin

As a permanent Greyhound bus memorial, a blue License plate on the right bumper of a new Greyhound bus in front that reads, “IN HONOR OF DONALD M. COFFIN, MR. GREYHOUND”
I was presented with the Greyhound bus picture this past Tuesday right before Independence Day
I felt honored and Dad would certainly be pleased
At this moment, I feel so at ease
Mr. Donald Coffin died in 2017 at the age of 93, but I know he is resting comfortably
Yet the message is, “Where that Greyhound Bus, Mr. Coffin’s spirit will always offer direction
Dad will always be the guiding light in the Greyhound bus highway
So if that Greyhound bus should ever get lost have no fear, as Mr. Coffin will always be near
Mr. Coffin devoted his entire life to buses
It was Greyhound in particular
Dad will always be my center piece I my heart and soul
My wisdom and understanding came from his behold
Mr. Coffin is the man that taught me everything I needed to know about buses
I was the Greyhound Historian and I was his student
So how fitting in the Greyhound Bus honor
Mr. Coffin vision was buses being ahead of their time
The open road to Dad was a Bus of any kind
So the heritage vision has been established in me
I thank Greyhound for giving Dad that well deserved recognition
Appreciation within my heart
Establishment having the honor
The road will always greet and welcome the Donald M. Coffin name
It will be Heaven in telling Greyhound, “Start your engines as it is the road to take aim but remembrance of Donald M. Coffin that will always remain

Sweat and nervousness has taken place, but movement must be made with care

MY MEMOIR STATURE
preservationman Oct 2016
It all started at 1330 Pacific Street
There I lived in a two family Brownstone that couldn’t be beat
Heat in the winter sometimes didn’t come through
But we had back up plans in knowing what to do
Yet it was home where I belonged
But my story I won’t prolong
The winters were hard to take
But living in Brooklyn, New York being the stake
The memorable moments was at holiday times when I had a ** Scale Baltimore & Ohio passenger train set that always went around our Christmas Tree along with the decorated lights for all to see
Christmas cards would be hung all on the wall
The Christmas tree would be stand tall
I was living with my Grandparents and we moved from Pacific Street to a high rise COOP
This is where I am still living today
This was when I was the age of 7
It was a place in making one feel like a living Heaven
I travelled Across Country on a Hound Bus in the United States, Canada and Mexico
But remember Greyhound’s past slogan, “Take the bus and avoid the fuss”
I got my taste of Entertainment
I appeared at the Valley Forge Entertainment Center
Being an Adventurer type, I ventured out on a canoe riding the Water Rapids in the Adirondacks in Upstate New York
Later I decided to do some Writing and be a Poet
My day as a Writer was ideas like a sunrise
My inspiration was days having surprises
Everyday I become more Wiser
My tomorrow will be a continued advancement of wisdom
My Grandparents instilled “Commodity into Excellence”
Educate my mind in becoming my own business success
I graduated from CUNY Medgar Evers College
If they were alive they could surely contest and a testimony of confess
All that is all part of me
But there is something else I want you all too see
I was almost at near Death at Birth
Doctors had given up hope
This was something where it became hard for my Mother and Grandparents to cope
I was suffering from Asthma, Yellow Jaundice and Malnutrition
My Mother was smoking while carrying me
But my Grandmother was a praying warrior and believed in God
She felt the Doctors didn’t consult God directly, but she did
Well my readers, God gave me continued life and I am 59 years old
In fact in February 2017, I will be 60 years old
So there’s my memoir
Life where living continues on
A place in life where I belong
Dignity and Honor all in my heart
It was my Grandparents being my very start
As I live on, I will continue to illustrate my life and leaving my legacy mark.

What can you say as the living room was a mess?
But only the Writer and Poet that can contest
Paper was thrown on the floor
An idea with a thought concept just didn’t sound galore
I believe lack of confident in not being sure
The Writer Sam was formulating a new novel
“Tomorrow’s eyes with Brightness being a Surprise”
The story about Nancy, a blind girl struck by Lightning receiving a miracle to see
It happened when Nancy the blind girl was walking home from school
Nancy was guided by her everyday faithful cane tool
A storm was stirring up
Clouds immediately gathered, and then the rain started to pour
Later then was a flash and streak of lightning that circulated through the sky
Immediately, Nancy could now see
She wondered what happened, But Heaven was the answer
Nancy was now able to read and cherish everything she loved
I see a flying Dove being the reminder of the miracle to think of
Now Bob, the Poet he always wanted to be
It was words having a meaning and showing his true emotion
Well Sam and Bob decided to team up and form a business together called, “Writer’s Bout and Poet’s Shout, Inc.”
A publisher’s friend being a motivational with nothing but inspirations for future writers and Poet’s to be
So the message is clear, start writing and Poet’s look into your most inner morse
So Sam and Bob’s company was starting to blossom nicely
Now did things change in the living room of clean?
They now had a business and they straightened up, but I will let you be the guess.

Anticipation by surprise
The mind being captivated within an enterprise
But somehow through it all the whole turning point makes one realize
The vision of one’s talent
Creation within one’s connective sources
It’s the wonder of one’s accomplishment
It then becomes the establishment of an idea
A concept that will preserver
Words full of enchantment

Also the same Poet in saying, “By the way”
This is encouragement in being committed day by day
Explanations being heard
I wrote but didn’t speak
An electronic statement was made but it was a tweet
I heard but didn’t want to listen
My smile was something of a non-reflection of the other
There seemed to be no sharing with another
I looked beyond the person, but realized I was that figure
My wildest dreams I haven’t seem
As a Poet I can’t fool the reader and must come clean
A Poet must stand up for who they are

A Judge in the court of Law hears testimony as speeches being presented
One questionable statement with a possible lie
Perhaps a mire alibi

The Lawyer to the Jury in don’t be misled
A gun was found on the floor
There were fingerprints too explore
Now Jury you must not ignore
There was a struggle in the room
Then suddenly a shot rang out in boom
The victim was laying in a pool of blood in the ****** of gloom
The motive was silence of the truth
Embezzled money as a Politician’s enterprise
Yet the killer wasn’t all that wise
The killer is in this court
All the facts are pointing and arrived in sort
Suddenly the killer brought down
Everyone court looked around
The killer was quickly arrested
The Judge then led down his verdict
Guilty as tried
The killer had no other alternative nor a place to hide

But Rochdale is full of inspiration
Yet to the cooperators, this is our indication
However, Rochdale is full of history of its own
Who could forget the PETER PAN BAKERY, KRESS and the ROCHDALE THEATER
That is just a few
But there is still acknowledgement due
There was a ROCHDALE VILLAGE WATER FOUNTAIN
There was rainbow mist
Different colored lights that added to the twist
Some cooperators got romantic and gave a kiss
The water fountain would bring all Rochdale Cooperators together from every circle
One would often greet fellow cooperators and you knew you were in a community having plenty of unity
This is how Rochdale Village’s history was made
Some might say a margin in the shade
No matter what, Rochdale Village still has the honor, dignity and contributions
The Rochdale structure stands in giving us all Hope, Inspiration, Possibilities and Courage
Aim high, but have understanding
Have courage, but keep being determined
Present your own promising words
Rochdale’s name has lived and will continued to stride
We the cooperators are the added ride
The outside community knows all so well
We don’t even have to tell
Happy 53rd Anniversary Rochdale Village
Don’t make a change just stay as you are
Your years in which you have journeyed far
Yet the name of Rochdale Village being its own star
Continue to stand for all
We the cooperators will never let you fall
In our hearts, we are your all
Once again, 53 and counting, but praises in blessings in many more years to come
Your life lives on and you are far from being done

I felt my life was living a violet storm
Streaks of lightening were my sustaining struggles
The Thunder being my voice in being upset
Tears poured beyond being an endless soul
A world that continues to revolve
But when will my troubles become my resolution
I am drinking wine from sunrise to sunset
I have become a Gambler and placing many bets
It doesn’t get any better, in fact, the worse it gets
I am slowly reaching rock bottom
A surface with no understanding
A darken sun with no reflection
A shadow no one sees
I am loss in a circle spin that doesn’t end
A spotlight shines with a familiar voice
I am being given alternatives as a choice
A Heavenly phrase, “Live in me being everlasting”
I must search deep and pray in my Inner soul
Suddenly a reason to live, stand up and see behold
I had raised my arms up in praise
I saw God’s mercy and his amaze
I throw out all the whisky bottles
My despite had brought me to new light
There was no absolutely no reason for me to feel uptight
Heaven showed me the way
I will follow continuously every day
Let the truth be told as I testify
Heaven is worth an opportunity, but all you have to do is try
When the going gets tough, and you feel you had enough, call on the Devil’s bluff, and pray and let the Lord say it is truly enough.

Clouds disappeared with no band fair
There is a certain caution and warning within beware
Hope being from within
However how does someone live in knowing how to begin?
Heaven is the floor plan
It’s the Lord’s command
One watches and listens
One prays on illustration
Darkened moon plays on one’s soon

Hour after hour in what could come near

Our forefathers lifted their voice to rebuke, which was wrong
This was a battle that was long
Because of this is what kept this nation strong

Our victory needs too be won
Killings continue for no reason
It doesn’t matter what season
Our freedom is in the Lord’s praise
Our liberties within his amaze
Our voices are the lightening that strikes
We as the multitudes are the might
Don’t let our forefathers fight die in vain
We can’t let the powers that continue this remain

This has given us wisdom in knowing how to be wise

I can’t cry because there is a mission at hand

Deliver us Lord
Show us our own applaud
Lead us beyond our own understanding
Instill the sun as our own shadow of vengeance

Overcome by being involved

Cry no more as it is victory I saw

Stand for reason and not within treason
Stand for race and not erase
Stand for freedom a given right to excel

A rock that cannot be moved and this I will tell you the enemy wants to mock

Be lifted and feel inspired

Victory in motion, freedom in observation and reflection of whom we are about

However, let’s take that even further, “All Lives Matter”
The struggles then was separation, but today the world is shouting Unification
Bringing all races together as one

Lift every voice and be heard
Utter Civil Rights can no longer continue to be a plight

It was a fight for justice and voices rang loud
Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian mission was an urgent purpose
Influence obvious

Civil Rights was a responsibility and should be sustained by all
Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian were involved in the Freedom Riders
Today the Civil Rights warriors would say, “Don’t let us catch you with your Civil Rights involvement undone
It’s continuous until complete
It would be Police in opposition
March on in precision
It was extension of determined exercised rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian didn’t take that light
They vision in plain sight
There are two Heaven Harlow’s being Heaven’s call
They conquered and saw
Now it is time for us to continue on the road to Civil Rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian are our determination
We will be their representation
Lift every voice and join hands
Let us march together in the sunrise until sundown
Embrace in commitment
Visualize in achievement

Muster from struggle’s past to victories to be gained
Upward and onward

Lift every voice and chant, “Civil Rights the purpose, and Freedom becoming the enterprise”
March on my Sons and Daughters
Civil Rights won’t be won until Freedom and Liberty reign.
