My eyes felt ever so deep to sleep. They would open and close. Then suddenly, my eyes felt like a finale when a curtain comes down. Now I was into a deep sleep, and my dream was presented. A Greyhound Mack 1931 showed up and used its headlights being a spotlight on me. The Mack said, “You look like you could use a friend”. I know you are a “BUS NUT”, but you are about to be surrounded with buses upon buses being your friend, and we will give you the inspiration to go on like no end. Let me introduce you to the MCI Renaissance, the start of new bus technology, the MC6 Supercruiser known as the bus of tomorrow with destination to our hearts, the MC7 that would catch anyone’s interest. Then there’s the MC8, a bus nut would appreciate. The Prevost being a new arisen but what the manufacturer can create. Now that is only a few, but you will soon awake.

As you continue to explore buses of any kind you won’t ignore. So we the buses will always be your friend. In fact, it extends to the highways being no end. The exhaust is our force. But along with buses, you will start to acquaint the many fellowships with other bus enthusiast such as yourself. It will be exchanging thoughts full of ideas and opinions. This is your heart felt moment. So enjoy your day, but we as buses just wanted to continue to show you the way. Our encouragement to all bus nuts goes like this, “So buses on tire wheels, and we consider ourselves a moving reel, and yes there is a past, but is just time accelerating in fast. Buses it is, but vintage that will always be”. I woke up with continued bus passion.

The number between 23 and 25
But 24 is for you to strive
Experience you gained before
Opportunities for you to explore
24 a numerical sequence
Be open, but don’t close
When there is a problem, you should expose
Rational thinking shouldn’t be suppose
24 being your time to step up
It should be your reason to climb
But always remember and keep in mine
“The choices you make are strictly your own”
But I know you have always known
24 is for you to soar
The number 24 is your score
You have a voice, and now expel on the speaking floor
Be confident and certainly sure
Well 24 is a number you don’t want to ignore
Become an after and remembrance of before
Therefore
24 is knocking and waiting for you to open the door.

It was 1902 on the New Horizon 101 train schedule
There was a fancy party aboard
The schedule was from New York City to Kansas City, Kansas being explored
But as the party went on, the engineer completely ignored
A terrible storm blew
It was wind, rain and lightening being the slew
As the passenger train was trotting on its route
Suddenly the train derailed and turned over and over into a final pause about
It was determined there were no survivors
As years went on there was no longer interest being shown
Everyone felt this story was nothing more than a myth
But today is the anniversary of the final crash and perished lives
One night a ghost locomotive engine could be heard in the distance
Citizens were awakened in a sleep as a quick instance
Spirits unrest in moans being the deceased passengers
Human life cannot contest
The passenger train spirits were roaming the rails
A night of remembrance of the encore of prevail
A spiritual train with only souls that remain
Yet the moon being hidden
The souls in stalking in an unbelieving forsaken
An arrival of the Spirit of New Horizon with no schedule nor destination to arrive
The theory of the aftermath being taken in living one’s strive
Rails with no train and the eerie feeling of lives that remain
Yet moans continue to be heard as souls being the herd
The engine with no aspect
The microscope being investigative in what one would expect
The spirits will continue to roam
They hold the key in what should be known
Yet the Spirit New Horizon looking for new souls
A world unknown
The human population that will be blown
It’s quiet for now, but what is the reason being how?
We will never know
It’s the railing place and the soul’s having the face.

Yes this is my story
Exact words being God’s glory
Faith that came in
I became a new creation on that day from when
God’s promise being fulfilled
Seeking salvation being my determined will
A testimony from where I stand
I am God’s servant and witness for him in demand
Seek Christ as he will bring you joy
Don’t let the Devil be a decoy and pounce on you in ploy
Also remember God is no toy
A merciful Father who gives us a chance
Through his blessings it is advance after advance
However, believe and you shall receive
God may sit high
Yet he has his eyes on you and I
Question not, but do receive
Look up, but do take heave
Changes come each day from the skies
But tomorrow we will have wisdom and understanding how to be wise
No need to wonder
Think on the Heavens yonder
Walk with thee
You too will see
Storms only last for the moment
Everlasting being forever
I once encountered near “Death”
The Lord added on many years to come left
I just told you my testimony
A God who delivered me
I am sharing for all to see
Thanks for walking with me
Salvation is what life should be
Open up your heart
Let the door to spiritually enter
“Salvation is a way of life, and the Heavenly voice who will always give you advice”.

I see doubt in your thoughts
You are still searching being your sought
Turn positive into purpose
Become assured and make it obvious
Objective into accomplishment
Effort movement
But the most important is establishing negativity into NO
However, puzzled faces are illustrating in SO
Negativity has no place in thought at all
You are holding onto unassurance being a stall
Establish I can approach
This is not a mockery nor joke
Movement starts with being determined
Destined in what you want your horizon vision to be deep in your heart
Imagine being successful and you have reached your plateau
A step is never done until completely walked
There is a beginning and a finish
This is what makes one distinguished
It’s courage to step out
You have arrived and that is something to talk about
But his is in the positive tense
However, the theory of using common sense
Be enthused, but not confused
Feel like an empire, but don’t become expired
Remind inspired, but don’t tire
Your key is to open the door with opportunities for you to explore
Knock Knock, Are you there?
This is opportunity calling, it’s time to preserver.

Killings that need to end
A healing process that needs to begin
There must be an end to all this hate
We need to come together in communicate and relate
We must do this before it's too late
There is enough wars in the world
This should not be United States swirl
We must put a stop to hatred and guns
Families are losing love one’s
They are separated from being among
Lives matters to everyone
It can’t be a conclusion and lives are done
Race comes in all physical shades
Yet the message must be strongly enforced
But there must be understanding in steering the course
But how can hatred be tossed
People’s attitudes must make a change
Hatred cannot become the theory of rearrange
Attitudes must become positive and not torned down
A loving personality must be established all around
Guns should only be used when another gun in harm that involved
Yet the gun situation needs to be resolved
Now Capitol Hill, what are you waiting for
Conditions alarm, perhaps or
We need a strong cause and effect
But better yet
Police Training in handling their job won’t be enough
A strong dialog that should be tough
You can’t be bias in being on force
Investigation practices must be added to the course
We can’t have Police continuing city after city in being racial rough
A new frontier of Police respect may not be enough
Once again, all lives matter
But movement must be swift and not so much chatter
Nation to nation and across the globe
Let’s embrace the loving and get along message
Achieve in enhance being the togetherness approach
Lives matter, are you ready?

The clear darkness said it right
The twinkle of the stars that shine bright
A bright Full Moon being a destiny in life pursue
The wonders of my heart
My dreams that became a reality
Living is about taking responsibility
One can only see, but it takes analytical sight
Where there is darkness is followed by light
Where there are problems comes solutions from plight
The night that made me think
I am captioning the moment in ink
The night being more than a centerpiece fireplace
It’s time that never can be erased
Oh the joy in knowing
The plateau’s in life where one can reach
Destined in values
Virtues with there own individual hidden treasures
Elements all for good measure
The night I will absorb, but tomorrow life in meaning
A reason to live and conquests too achieve
Night like a temporary curtain, but outward in horizon being certain
I believe in me where others don’t
It’s the same people that won’t
I will persuade for all too see
Night is only my hour, but understanding at dawn will be my power.

Beat down, but still around
My school days
Kicked and punched
All at once
Wounds with scars
Called out many times not my name
Totally lame
Tormented
I was saw as weak
Being easy to defeat
I deserved to be picked on
People’s wishes
I tried to remain strong
I even tried to get along
The bullies weren’t going to have it
I had to fight to survive
It was all in my stride
Reasoning definitely didn’t work
It took all of my Faith to win
Suddenly the bullying came to an end
Overcame
Fulfilled
Destined
I proved unstoppable
Unbreakable
Victory
My story
Defined glory

The Lord and I talked on earth
Yes it seemed my life was transcending into a new birth
Yet we walked and talked
The Lord had encouragement for me
The things on this earth just let be
I am the Lord who sits high and looks below and I see
My heart was full of praise
It’s my testimony that would amaze
My candid look of Jesus face
This is something that I will never erase
That walk with thee
All this being his servant and being merciful to me
A Heavenly calm voice
The spiritual icon being the choice
The Savior who can make thunder roar
Oceans to behave
Make the earth shake
The wonders in behold
A stretched out hand
God’s power always at his command
Again those influencing words
I can tell you, I have heard
“One walk, one voice with faith to believe and an open heart to receive combined with the armory against the Devil to not be deceived”
My soul at the call of the Lord
Strength to withstand the evil of the sword
Powers from above
The flight like a white Dove
Divinity within salvation to think of.

The study of the mind and words
According to the theme is look and observe
An in depth in how the mind functions and the words that came out
The Professor stated, “I need a volunteer?”
I was the experiment in technique of preserver
My mind was put to the test
Then it was think back then move forward
My memory being what stayed in and what information moved on
The analysis captured that not all past remembered, and some things
I wanted to truly forget
The study definitely provided that reading had an effect
The power of the eyes and the thinking mind reduced many brain disorders at least according to the lecture
Professor Washington continued on
He gave an outline that was long
Professor Washington stated what the class would cover
But I was thinking, I want this day to be over
The class was a 2 hour course
The Professor also emphasized that exams were a must
Then later, a commotion being a fuss
Finally the class ended for the day
What words could I possibly say?
Well that was my course of the day.

I feel I can no longer write anymore
It seems readers would rather ignore than explore
Writing is a commitment I chose to do
But as of now I am simply through
I write so others can enjoy
It’s not a game and a ploy
It’s my writing in having others enjoy
Writing is a gift from my heart
I remember when I write it was something I enjoyed
Writing was my devotion to share with the world
It actually made my heart swirl
My work seems to be passed on by
Yet every determination in effort with a continuous try
My writing seems to come as a storm
It’s my variety being different from the norm
Assertion using understandable words
Readership in wanting to be heard
So what have you felt in my writing all along?
Should I continue to write and is this where I truly belong?
You tell me if my writing captioned your heart
Have I truly made my mark
My writing being no secret
Respond to me now and if my writing has added that wow.

Devotion of a pioneer that stands at every bus mile
Vast bus collections being the Pioneers while
Multitudes upon solitudes that would take up an idle
Contributions throughout, but no longer among
Yet is it the inspiration of the spirit to look upon
A plague will be made being a privilege
Bus legacy being Donald Coffin’s heritage
A major nationwide bus company will dedicate a memory in the pioneers honor on one of their new buses
As the bus travels on regular scheduled runs, the pioneer’s dedication plague will be traveling being remembered as a bus preservationist that was done
The name Donald Coffin throughout
It will be what my Bus Dad achieved
The bus will be remember the devotion on the go
Mr. Coffin’s contributions were his movement in desire being the flow
A man with lots of knowledge and understanding having the know
Buses were Mr. Coffin’s heart
He was sincere in mind and spirit
A major nationwide bus company will illustrate his life through a permanent memorial
It will be at their corporate headquarters
So a man Donald Coffin always being on the move
Buses and more buses being a reminder to prove
Yet a sense of stand and reflect being relaxed on soothe
Greyhound will be travelling across country spreading the Donald Coffin name
Permanent reflection being the aim
Just remember where you heard.

A LARGE WALL MIRROR THAT STANDS TALL
IT’S THE REFLECTION OF INDIVIDUAL APPEAL
YET THE VISION IS FOR REAL
FINGER MARKS THAT HAVE BECOME THE TRACE
HOWEVER, THE MARKS ARE EASY TO ERASE
BUT WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN THE MIRROR IS VICTIMIZED?
TOO SOME, IT MIGT BE A SURPRISE
TOO OTHERS, WHO WOULD ADVISE?
IMAGINE A LARGE MIRROR ALL CRACKED AND BROKE ON THE FLOOR
IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A CLEAN UP FOR SURE
A PERSON’S IMAGE TO DAILY EXPLORE
IT WOULD BE TIME AFTER TIME NO ONE WILL EVER IGNORE
BUT ONE WONDERS WHY WAS A LARGE MIRROR PUT IN THE LOBBY?
IT IS NOT FOR A PHOTOGRAPHIC HOBBY
FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, THE MIRROR IS TO PROJECT WHO IS BEHIND YOU
BUT WHAT IS ONE SUPPOSED TO DO
LET’S JUST SAY IF A PERSON WANTS TO ROB, IT WON’T BE IN FRONT OF THAT MIRROR
IN FACT, IF OONE WANT TO SEE3 THAT THEY LOOK JUST RIGHT THEN A HALF A MIRROR PLACED ON EACH FLOOR BY THE ELEVATOR WOULD BE MORE RELEVANT
BUT NO MATTER THAT, A MIRROR STANDS AND SHINES
THE VISION OF TRUE BEAUTY WITH ALL THE IMAGE FINES
REFLECT AND LET YOUR IMAGE PROJECT.

I am a black man who stands with pride and responsibility
I am the person who strides on family providing
My responsibility is to lead
Having understanding to proceed
Yet society has labeled me
It’s a message of don’t trust what you see
Society’s purpose that I have no right to speak
I dare not even tweet
However I have reason to live
I am more of a verb than an adjective
Society would rather delete me in subtract than be wise in multiply
But here’s why, it all started from history back
Slavery being part of the track
But Freedom to excel was the civil rights movement being a combat
Yet history seems to be revolving itself
A shade of another color doesn’t fit in the Crayola
The mission seems to state, “**** until Dead”
Some Police present lack of trust
Just shoot being a must
But justification has taken a negative turn
The focus of a minority feeling like a sandy Urn
Emotions being aggression
Respect a question not needing permission
Being a Black Man
I Stand Alone
But the multitudes of Life Matters in efforts in letting it be known
We need life that will be soothe into smooth
There is everything to prove
Change that must come
We must move forward from
Life is worth living until Heaven says it is up.

Ghost that lived in the house
There was even a family of frightened mouse
The house was originally owned but they had died
It was twenty years ago
The actual death no one really knows
But the Ghost revolve all through the house
Spirits that don’t want any human visits
Witnesses say was a struggle in a fight that was heard in the house
They think it was the husband’s spouse
Yet moans and groans are heard all through the night
It only happens when darkness appears and there is no light
Surrounding homeowners often feel the plight
Witnesses also say the house often moves
It’s the Ghost making their point in ***** with prove
There was a ****** in those twenty years that took place
No one can even erase the trace
It was so long ago there is no accord written from the past
But the question is often asked, “How long did it really last?”
The Night of scare often happens at the precise quartz of midnight
No one and I mean no one can sleep tight
Darkness reigns with no light
It’s all moans and groans in scary sounds
People on the streets are nowhere to be found
It is clear the Ghost control
It is there own story being told
They are their own spirits that rise to terrorize
As I said before, even mouse are frightened
Unspoken words and your screams are never heard
I was murdered and you caused me to roam
I will not let go being left alone
The Ghost story must be told
But you are weak and can’t be bold
It has been years, but you are now old
This night isn’t yours and belongs to the Ghost
Your mind, heart and spirit have their own boost.

I was brought up with dignity and pride
It is the biblical words spoken being my stride
No reason for me to duck and hide
I can continue to say, “I am Somebody”
A harsh voice wants me to respond without reason
But it is God that instills salvation for all seasons
Again I am somebody who does not take being last as a condition at the end
It is my life to continue too live
My experiences in share in multitudes of give
Many claimed they have walked who think they have been
But God has always been my reason clearly at the end
My question in thought to them was always on when?
I am somebody who has travelled far and observed
Yet today’s struggles my race in what people feel I deserved
My achievements are my talents in what I learned, but others who never tried
Keeping the faith is how I stride
Struggles suggest too let boundaries block
Yet God has his own timing being his own clock
But being somebody tells me not to stop
Encouragement tells me to keep reaching for the top
Freedom of expression and expelling of rights
This keeps me triumphant and not so uptight
Yet I must be merciful and polite
I am somebody where no one can make me change
Release the chains in what society wants to arrange
Let others continue to just complain
Because I am somebody I will remain
Aim to please is only to the Lord
A good faithful servant being the applaud
The one that made me somebody oh thank you Lord.

Run away Bull
But in the tristate of New York
Yes, a Bull on its way to the Slaughter House that saw the chance to be on the run
The Bull was determined he wasn’t going to be out done
This run certainly wasn’t for fun
So the Bull decided he was going to enjoy the sweet moments of air and freedom
The Police tried to catch
It seemed more like fetch
But the Bull kept being on the move
The Bull had everything to prove
The Bull was thinking, “No Slaughter House for me”
Yet there were witnesses that did see
It was surprised by all
But the Bull was what the witnesses saw
I guess the bull missed his home farm
The Bull maybe was trying to go back
However, the Bull seemed to run around the block
The Police were planning to capture in being a plot
Well the Bull slowed down
He was tranquilized and felt to the ground
The Slaughter House waited, and the Bull was where he was supposed to arrive
Did the Bull survive long?
One only knows
But it all goes to show, Bulls can run.

Months upon months as anticipation all kept in
The moment of birth that will begin
Eye’s open in seeing the world for the very first time
A baby testing lungs in a whine
Stages of life in parents teaching their babe
Then there’s a lesson of obedient called behave
Years will roll on and on
Each stage the babe becomes strong
Later it will be schooling
It will be the concepts within fundamentals learning tools
The teenage years in how to laugh and be cool
A time to explore and learn how too preserver
Your heart always being close and very near
Years continuing and rolling on
Finding place in society of where one belongs
Being inspired and with a foundation in being strong
Life is truly a moment too moment thing
The idea of living the life is letting it become a shining bling.

Togetherness of man and woman
The rings being the unity
Husband and Wife becoming their own community
Gathered together being the invited Guest that watch
Two flying Doves are overseeing the kiss in catch
The marriage being an honor of two
The vows of love they both must go through
Love in the eyes of the bliss kiss
Interlude within romance having its own accord
The entire wedding being carefully watched under the eyes of the Lord
Couples match to their own secrete beat
Jumping over the broom in making the entire marriage complete
The token of joy with the throwing of rice
The elegance of a wedding having an outstanding price
A wedding neither will forget
We won’t discuss or get into any regret
A marriage fit with a royal fest
Bliss and happiness in what two married couples will certainly confess.

The thought of desire coming from within
A movement of steps in effort for one to begin
Determination rings out loud
A destiny with accomplishment to follow
But not let negativity make you hollow
Dignity with being proud of who you are
Honor with your establishments to look upon
Heavens guidance through direction
Heavens winds being an idea
Where does one go from here?
Anywhere that will spell preserver
Walk on, but without fear
A Heavenly voice encourages that God is always near
No need to stand in the shadows of the rear
You are the example of who shall achieve
You are the wonder that no one can deceive
Evil cannot touch
That might sound like much
But it’s the beauty of true success
However, only you will be able to confess
Your testimony being your experience
You have been given strong endurance
But always remember from where you were influenced
That walk seemingly a mile, but was preparation during while.

Clothes commenting
Evict Tenant
Why?
The Tenant is buying too many clothes having no space
Oh what a waste
Clothes in closets have no room to breathe
They are not feeling relieved
The clothes are cramped up
The clothes now finally fed up
How much more clothes you expect to buy
Excuses, don’t even try
You have enough clothes to wear
Leave closet space to spare
No need to buy more clothes
There’s no suppose
But there is an ultimatum
“We the clothes are telling the Tenant that if you buy anymore clothes, you will be evicted from the premise”
A promise that be kept
Now you have been warned in prepped
Be aware in awakening from slept
This is a new day for clothes and the Tenant
Worth a mention
Clothes are in control
You are advised Tenant to take hold.

A time to excel
Yet a moment that shall tell
The YES in thinking positive in making the effect
The YES, YESTERDAY, EDUCATION AND SUCCESS
It is you the individual of who will contest
Yesterday’s dream being in thought in where to start
Ready, set, go being education in the mark
Applying all the components of yesterday and education combined together
Everyone is not like another
Everyone also thinks differently from the other
Success comes to knowing you have achieved leading to this point
It is a matter in what steps you shall take
It is also the efforts you shall make
Tomorrow being the future bringing today
Yet is the YES that your lips should say
Thinking negative will not be ok
I am trying to motivate you and see education being your assessment
Out of the assessment comes commodity
All this surrounds reality
Yes you will accomplish
Yes you will establish
Yes you and only you are distinguished
You are the reason, and your thinking is the vision
You determine your own career division
The yes in you, and now see what you can do as you pursue.

I was acting from a Shakespeare line
My heart was expelling in dramatics combined
My deepest emotions pouring out
I cried that thundered into a big shout
My voice of who I am holds no fear
It’s a new horizon that I hold near
Consequence is not my designated state
It’s how my ideas and aspirations come together in relate
Anger can be sharp s a ****** knife
But understanding is to think before and not twice
But should my life really go on
I have bound in these struggles for so long
My mind tells me I must be strong
I feel like a missing puzzle and there is no place where I belong
Yet I see sunshine with beacons of my shadow in the middle
The clouds seem to offer me encouragement from Heaven’s ways
The advice coming from Heaven in live, and enjoy the Earth stay
Depart not as a timing being on the spot
The idea is too have confidence and give life a shot
My woes became choses of I can win
With that thought, the curtain came down and the play was a finale at the end.

Put that farewell vibe on hold
I am a performer and I am going to be bold
I have a story that needs to be told
The spotlight is what started me to enter
My Broadway performance will not be over until I sing
But just remember one thing
It might be a sour note I hit
I guess at some point my Broadway regards will be it
But for now, Broadway calls
I have established myself for all
I must answer
Now Broadway being the Great White Way
I feel the rhythm and the music sounds ok
But what direction do I take?
I might have made one mistake
The audience seems to applause
It’s there reason of course
I think will add the piano to my entertainment
As show business states, one must have total commitment
Just my luck, the piano cover will probably fall on my fingers
I could just see it now, the pain will continue to linger
I will do my best to entertain
But someone in the audience yelled, “That sour note singer can no longer remain”
Talk about Audience Rebellion taking aim
All I can do is to continue to perform and don’t complain
Broadway Eyes, please help me to be wise
At some point, I guess I will have to apologize
But Broadway has me all charged up and I am energized
Yet wait a moment, the Duracell bunny has stepped on the stage and I am totally surprised
He went on and on and all I can do was just yond
As for me, the orchestra even had their revenge
I guess this is my end to Broadway
Short as it was
I had no choice but to give my regards to Broadway
The curtain immediately came down
Later I was no where to be found
I simply got out of town.

The best of times
The worst of times
Sudden times
Happy times
Questionable times
Time to rejoice
Time to rehearse
Remembrance of a verse
A moment to be sad
The minute in being mad
The time that never stops
Timing being everything
A time in knowing the value of time
Turning time to catch up
Making time to be on time
But through the good times, its knowing where time you stand, and it is time that runs your daily caravan.

More than a dog
More than a Hound Driver’s written log
It surrounds a Hound bus
Greyhound gave me that nickname and I took it as a plus
It’s my passion for the Greyhound bus
My enthusiasm that might be to some people what is the fuss
Houndman Cometh yes I have been named
But inspiration that shall remain
Houndman Cometh not a name for hounding around
It’s my personal preservation that can be found
My own destination being solid as the road
My direction being beyond flashing lights
I am Houndman Cometh and don’t need to be polite
No bones about it in approach
It’s not a speech that I spoke
My love for animals and the hound
The shout of “Houndman Cometh” being the sound
I have arrived with the appropriate name
The buddy system has taken aim
What makes Houndman Cometh unique?
The name just sounds neat.

As the winds blew
It is God giving the world a cue
The Harlow shade
It was heavenly made
The thunder of attention
The lightening along with the mention
God’s message to the world
I am here in heaven looking high and low
Pray and be sincere and never let go
I am the Lord that can take away fear
Always keep me near
The assurance of one’s faith
The outcome of one’s spirit
God’s reward in giving of merit
Walk with me
Let your light shine for all too see
All this comes from thee
Be encouraged within the say
Keep every day holy I say unto you unto this day.

Come with me and enjoy the ride
Don’t be surprised as you observe the oceans and the moving tide
Words aligned with the scenery
Expectations being a surprise
As the bus passes by, It is morning in the mountains being a sunrise
The bus picture windows open the door to more poetry words
There’s Indians outlining the path
A Western tail, we will make it to our destination at last?
Well that was a John Wayne flick
It was added and I shall let it stick
A poetry moment and photo shoot
Are you with me or not?
Yet our bus is moving on in bring America up close
American the beautiful is something to boost
However, our poetry bus will be crossing states coast to coast
This is a travelling poet who doesn’t think like most
Now as we wake up from our nap yond
We have tomorrow to look upon
We dreamed in seeing the world
This poetry bus is making the travelling swirl
Landscape distance being an amaze
The Heavenly one who created it deserves all the praise
Routes after routes
Rocky Mountain high I can actually hear being the tune
Howdy Dowdy Saloon
Cities that seem to just come to life
Standing tall and glisten
All one has to do is be silent and listen
The bus wheels ever turn
Right now, I am thinking on my own tone
“Moving along on this bus, and writing my poetry with no fuss. If I was home, I would probably cuss, but I am relaxed and enjoying my ride. I am prepared to settle back in my reclining seat. This is my comfortable get away treat”
Well look to my eyes, we have arrived in Los Angeles, and I am glazing at the tall high rise
Those tall buildings are reaching the skies
The bus pulls into the gate at the terminal
Poetry took me far
I am at my destination, and it wasn’t a car
It was poetry being the star.

Love on my mind
The candlelight shining bright
Love in romance all through the night
Kiss into bliss
Enchanted being a lot too list
But my heart won’t let love miss
My love is about everlasting
Love me now into forever
Love to me is something to sliver
I am the silver and you are my gold
It’s our love story that was never told
Bring your love energize
I will add to the surprise
Let our spirits rise
I want you to be my bull’s eye
Because you are the understanding and wise
My love goes beyond tomorrow
It is on the straight and narrow
Love having no shadow
It’s the sunshine that only love can make
I am the intrigue and you are my distinction
A picture perfect setting
So let our love connection begin

I was on vacation in Los Angeles
So I decided to see the sights
It was Hollywood in Burbank, California
NBC-TV
The theme then, “Come home to NBC
That was in 1983
But I was far from home, but it didn’t matter because with NBC anywhere could be home
I toured the NBC Studios and saw Celebrities along the way
I saw BOB HOPE who was tall and met personally and direct, ANN JULIAN being another celebrity
But I also saw the NBC Los Angeles News Team
However, it wasn’t just NBC alone as it was the acting and effects that makes NBC being NBC
We took an adventure into outer space, but we survived being our own trace
We also analyzed the game show of the “Wheel of Fortune” behind the scenes
The Wheel is nothing more than thin paper but you don’t see that on Television
In fact, the camera camouflages so you wouldn’t see what we saw
The labels on the wheel are glued and not exactly straight
This was my NBC adventure
Seeing the Studio a total venture
So I came home to New York from NBC Bliss
I was determined, I surely didn’t miss.

Don’t let the name fool you
But let me school you
Captain Ego wasn’t a courageous man
For starters, he is afraid of water
As far as steering a ship
Captain Ego really needs an encouraging tip
But do it quick before the ship takes a dip
Captain Ego seems to have a chip on his shoulder in thinking he is all that
It goes beyond fact
But what he really needs is a rude awakening being a smack
Even the crew knew what Captain Ego was about
It seemed every commotion always turned into a bout
Captain Ego would order the crew being a command, but sounded more like a demand
If Captain Ego doesn’t get his act together, he could very well be fed to the sharks
Mark my word
Now I hope you heard
Yet Captain Ego’s name being a description that doesn’t seem to match
But put Captain Chicken now that would be a catch
He certainly isn’t truth
However, Captain Ego has been that way since his youth
But the seas seem to be in charge
That means, Captain Ego isn’t large
He doesn’t have any sea legs
For calm seas, Captain Ego always begs
The sea being awake and Captain Ego stuck in a yawn
He doesn’t deserve a ship to be steering upon.

I was trying to give suicide a try
But the question came up why?
It seemed the clouds had voices to live
The bible seemed to say, I had continuing living to give
No matter how bad things seem to get
Don’t let your heart sink into regret
God’s word is the best bet
It’s the Devil trying to confuse my mind
This always happens when the Devil uses his sources in combine
A thin line between survive
God’s everlasting in strive
When I was going to say goodbye
I was no longer a victim, and life became worth living in making a try.

I seem to have a mark in being a Greyhound Bus Company Employee
But let me explain in understanding so you can see
It was three years ago
Now this is a dialog so I will narrate slow
I was waiting for a specific departure being a Greyhound Bus at the New York City Port Authority Bus Terminal
My destination was Philadelphia, PA
It was an Express Bus
I was on my way to the Philadelphia Flower Show
As I was standing waiting for the bus to pull up to the Gate and Load
Too my surprise, a Travelling Customer was passing by and stated directly to me, I look like I work for Greyhound
Now even though I am a Greyhound fan, I made sure I wasn’t wearing any bus memorabilia on
The only thing I was wearing was my Bus Patches on my Denim Jacket, but my Coat was hiding it
So I wonder was Greyhound written on my forehead
What did that travelling Customer feel I was knowledgeable about Greyhound
Whatever the event, the secret was out
Perhaps being destined to work for Greyhound is what I am talking about
Imagine, From the Greyhound slogan being my version, “Greyhound and me, travel with adventure and take it from me”.

Your body is telling you its time to train
Your mind is hesitating that your body should remain
This is your introduction in making your before in training that you should explore
A venture in your body becoming the new you
This has been something past due
When temptation set in
This is where exercising becomes the motion to begin
Tell the flab to get out
Slim and trim is what I am talking about
Exercise means eat right and not be uptight
Free weights for added strength
Pain and gain at every length
Remember to get your Doctor’s advice
Concentration, you will be strong as a vice
Who says it’s too late to exercise?
Whoever said that surely wasn’t wise
Exercise opens your mind to a new blend
Exercise also helps you to bend
Exercise is what keeps you alert
Nature’s way in being a perk
The health club is only a place to get your exercise on
Repetitions, intensity and sweat is where you belong
The health club is what you might need
Your sore muscles are telling you the need to proceed
Our health club producing proven results
It is every body composition that will be felt
You must understand exactly what body part you want to train
The rest will be a goal leading to aim
Weights in strength, and determination throughout the length.

Everyone going their everyday daily task
Normal activities having all varying vast
Some were at work
While others were at home or outdoors
Suddenly darkness came and it seemed time came to a halt
A city in pitch black
Rush hour was all in the smack
Some people were stuck in elevators
Firemen was summoned to various locations in getting people out
Subway and railroad trains stuck in their tracks
Electricity was totally shut down
There was no circuit power that could be found
Thousands upon thousands stranded without any means to get around
The only thing that was available was people’s own wit
But through it all people came together and embraced one another
Yet troubles seem to bring people closer
Darkness it was
The length being uncertain
A moment all being  the same shade
Let it be in what all creatures were made.

Poet’s words continuously pop out
It’s a pull of surprise I am talking about
Words that seem to creep and make you peek
It’s those sentences for the entire week
Inspire is written on the walls
Yet keep moving but don’t stall
As you open the door, a word of don’t ignore
You are in the Poet’s exploratory hands
Silent is the heart
A trail of words on the floor
Those same words encourage you in reading for sure
Accelerate, Illustrate and Participate
These are the values in how a Poet relates
It keeps the Poet’s thoughts alive and strong
The communications of words in where they belong
But let’s continue our tour
We have been here for about an hour
A Poet stands live in front and center
The Poet of motivation
Eye in point and phrases being the indication
The Poet wants to persuade with you being the subject of response
“I read, but I know I must understand opportunity in being once in a lifetime, but achievement is far more doing than a dream beyond, but tomorrow with a future to look forward to”
Now as we exit, I hope you enjoyed the journey down a Poet’s laird
Now continue being a Poet you always was meant to be
Continue to inspire readers eyes so that they can our inner heart for all to see
It’s a wonder yonder
A short walk from the mind
It’s a happening all combined
A true Poet is his or her own virtue full of inspiration being more than expressions, but establishing commitment
So long from the Poet’s laird, and just write with all the influence of care.

North and South at war
The breakup of Slavery being the score
Movement having a maneuver
The plan being a strategy
Ammunition creating destruction
It was a cause having effect
The act of slavery needing an end
A time for Freedom to begin
The names of Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln
The thought of Freedom in blockage from one’s means
Yet Slavery being a cause to reject
A constitution of Freedom
Years of divine wisdom
Ashes being the years far too long being a slave
The separation became the hour of change
The North was going to rearrange
A Civil War having a battle
Darkness of war no more
Road to Freedom became a life of explore
A slave being no slave thereafter for one to ignore
The ashes are only what it took to change slavery
But it was all handled so bravely.

Mire voices echoing in my head
Am I dreaming instead?
Yet I feel I am being talked to
It’s every day living through and through
Yet I don’t seem to have still a clue
Perhaps a method of inspiration coming far away
It seemed so sudden even on this day
The whispers were telling me to appreciate
But as I walked I stopped in my tracks on hesitate
Yet whispers moved my footsteps to position of on
I had no idea as to where in life I belong
Yet it seemed the voices had the true answer
But of course I was in a prance
Whispers had my ears in being well toned
My destiny would be coming sometime soon
Whispers telling don’t worry what people say
You are thinking normal and you are ok
Tell me more I responded to the whispers
But the whispers responded, “I have already heard and captioned every meaningful word”.

Some dreams can take affect
While others might to reject
In any event, dreams can become the actual
Yet be nothing unusual
A little boy would often dream of Driving a Real Greyhound Bus
You see, the little bus had lots of toy Greyhound buses, and dream of going from the toy Hound bus to the real one as his dream states
Well that’s an appreciate
The little boy thought of all of the Greyhound bus
Travelling from cities to town being pluses
But there is something about a dream that might have a message
It’s Desire, Commitment and Responsibility
But what does this have to do with a little boy’s dream?
The dream shows an open road into a career of possibility
Now don’t laugh
It could very well become a reality
How did this dream actually start?
The little boy would often travel on Greyhound a lot visiting his Grandmother in Chicago at Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays
However, the little boy was fond of animals, and the Hound dog perhaps captured the little boy’s heart
So the dream whisked the little boy into a reflection of destiny
The highway alone in the dream being encouragement
The Greyhound Bus itself showing the little boy the way
His little fingers on the steering wheel
The whole dream feeling like a movie reel
Wheels in motion
In the distance crossing a bridge across the ocean
All the wonders of the Greyhound bus
Grasping the little boy’s attention with no fuss
It all surrounds the Greyhound bus
Ok Thomas, it’s time to awake
You don’t want to get to school late
The little boy now is all grown up
He drives a real Greyhound Bus and travels the U.S. Continent
The dream did the preparation
The dream was simply a little boy’s hidden mind in creation.

Set your determination high

You are the one to motivate yourself
Don’t depend ever on somebody else

A world that believes in itself
Looking beyond wealth compared to everybody else
People that will respect one another
People also that won’t think like the other
A deleted racism mark
A work sincere heart being a start
Hire me, but make no mark on my skin
My tomorrow one day being on when
A world I can feel assured
A world that I will feel to applaud
A life of all creeds coming together
Talking and exchanging ideas with one another
Inspiring thoughts
Encouraging, but not wondering of sought

Where there, the sun brings warmth
Where is in a ruler extends measurements of length
Where there are clouds comes inclement weather
Where there is joy follows happiness
When one thinks comes an idea
Where there is a mirror reflection appears the image
Where there is praise followed by a blessing
Where there are many possibilities
Where there is life brings situations
Where there
From where in can
From there in shall

It was a letter telling a word have you heard?
An alphabet letter is better and a word is not
What is this some sort of plot?
What makes you think an alphabet letter is better?
As a letter of the alphabet, I can form many words used in many sentences
But the word responded as there are other instances
Now as a word, alphabet letters can be reversed to form other words to highlight the sentences
You are making me feel I should jump into some alphabet soup
The word said, I am only making my point being a coup
Now we don’t have to justify who qualifies
We just need to see eye to eye
Why don’t we just collaborate?
Now that is something all readers would appreciate
A journey against what’s in the hidden mind
Alphabet letter and words all combined
As time changes, so does alphabet letters and words
Now to the reader, have you heard?
A letter and a word have teamed up
There is no need to compete
Letters and words are the poetry treat
It’s what’s thought of and can be written.

The story of salvation
Putting faith into activation
Yet it means truly understanding
But my Grandmother often said, “We will understand after while”
So salvation is a learning style
Being taught all during while
Bible scriptures becoming novel pages
The words feeling like video’s in action being seen
Understanding was finally becoming knowledge
Heaven’s gift being a privilege
Wisdom with honor and glory
Like my Grandmother said, “By and By” being the story
Faith in believing while applying the try
While being during
While in observing while enduring
While deep in the soul while influencing
Yet it was a matter of strengthening belief
The Heavenly flow being the relief
The wonder of understanding
Heaven’s cloud of thought in look above
It’s all Christian education to think of.

This was a nickname Greyhound Bus Lines gave me
I take honor and pride
It’s the inspiration behind the Greyhound ride
Houndman Cometh means at Greyhound I have arrived
Houndman Cometh and Greyhound both being a loyal connection
The Greyhound Bus name an appreciation
Houndman Cometh being my sole identification
Intrigued with highway buses you may not know
I am not trying to put on a show
I am only illustrating in putting you in the know
Houndman Cometh has nothing to do with ***
It’s not even associated with Fedex
Houndman Cometh being a totally related to the Greyhound Bus
So now you know in me being honored to be Houndman Cometh
Greyhound Bus Lines making it all possible
I am destined being my arrive
But for now, Houndman Cometh, I will take in my stride.

One Author wrote of his own writings past
Another Author wrote his life as a thief
Two lives having extraordinary detail
All you have to is come with me in the trail
But before I begin, I want to inspire that there is no such thing as fail
It’s the determination to succeed and continuing inspiration in proceed
Joe who is the first Author, he wrote all about his life
He would often just sit and write sentences
But there was something in those sentences that had an impact
People would often read Joe’s sentences, and the readers would always say, “Your sentences seemed to attract”
Joe had never thought about being a writer until an Editor of a Magazine had a copy of what he wrote in the past, and suggested that he write a book
But the idea didn’t catch on right away in fact Joe had a puzzled look on his face
However Joe ventured out to see how writing his first book would sell
It became New York Times book list, and there’s your tell

Now Warren being another Author took a different approach
However, this is no joke
Warren was a thief in his past
But as he got older, his stealing didn’t last
Warren decided to write a book about being a thief and encourage young people that there is relief
He sat down and wrote every account of what being a thief was all about
But one reading of Warren’s story was nothing that any reader had to figure out
The whole point in putting stealing on alert
Warren wanted all readers to know that stealing is now a perk
Yet, Warren continued to write, but added being a Motivational Speaker
Two Authors having different lives
But with both outcomes and the word being strive.
