SAVING TOMORROW
preservationman Feb 2016
Rise and shine
This is the day to live
Yesterday was a day in preparing living for tomorrow
The living being your hour glass
A time telling you to keep on living

Yet one’s heart can be troubled with despite
Counseling is a form of share
One’s emotion can start at sorrow
But let me illustrate a mural, I am standing high above on rocks overlooking the ocean
As I stand there, I have a notion
Whose lives can I save today?
What some of encouragement can I offer being living every step of the way?

Saving lives means understanding one’s self
You are not like everybody else
Suicide is not a stride
It’s being cowardly and an excuse to hide
There are many options that offer positive approaches to abide
It’s about being confident and assured
Its believing that was established by the Lord
Saving lives is a daily continuous effort
But one is never alone and living means you don’t have to bare it alone

I gave you a picture involving an ocean
Along with that ocean is comfort, but there will be times storms will arise
The horizon is the image for you to see the reason to live
Living is encouraging advice from give
When life seems like a struggle, take your eyes to the skies in finding hope
It’s the Heaven’s that helps us all to cope
Saving lives, but thinking of others
Making choices but follow wisdom
The sun rise being your wakeup call as it is the establishment of living for all
The thought of saving lives is saving tomorrow.

This is more than an honor
It’s the words of every muse
It is also encouragement that everyone can use
Your mind in writing persuasion
Had everyone thinking being the indication
The dialog that had a route
The amazement in being a surprising shout
A phase that certainly captivated your amaze
Hearts deeply touched
A moment to just absorb
Then pausing moments to think of
The award goes to
All of us
Let’s all take our bow and that is a must
We are the words that come from our head

Spotlight focusing on our daily approach
At times a little humor as a joke
So poets unite
We have shown the world our hidden creation being sight
Congratulations to all of us
Poetry is worth to make the fuss
Let’s continue to encourage others to follow in our lead
This is the time to praise and proceed
Share with the world your insights
Stand up and be proud
We are the voices and it is allowed.

THE HAND THAT LEADS
preservationman Sep 2015
Pope Francis brings the aroma of Spirituality
When it comes being a Christian, it’s pure reality
He was a warrior from Heaven being the chosen word
Through God, he wanted Pope Francis to be heard
Italy might be his home base
But it was the messages of hope, Cope, Peace and prayer that many will keep in a vase
Pope Francis telling the word as he sees it
Listen, but make sure you hear
Observe, but don’t worry about fear
Closeness that God will always be near
Pope Francis having an eye on how people will achieve
Look the Devil in the eye that he shall not deceive
Taking the power of one’s faith
Turning that power into one’s fulfillment of God’s trust
The biblical sense being a must
Pope Francis simply was saying, “Follow me and let me teach”
But in regards to salvation, it’s God that will help you reach
His love for children and the prosperity within religion
It’s the reason to prayer and hands up
A Parent’s responsibility with sustaining religion within themselves
Children will lead when the old can no longer go the distance
It’s God’s overseeing that will be in an instance
The beauty of life
One never having to think twice
To the unfortunate, there is hope in the hills of Heaven
The hand that shall lead
God’s doctrine within the message in the hope into proceed
Knee at the threshold in God’s name
The goodness comes from within not needing blame
Pope Francis who is walking among this Earth
Assures us all and has given the world a new birth
A creed to live on, and staying in God’s kingdom where we all belong.
preservationman Dec 2014
The total body experience all inside
A moment on thought but not on hide
Think agenda’s, but move on stride
Christmas meaning more than presents
The birth of Jesus an everlasting presence
But the best gift of all is the breath of life
Nothing can compare and not even a touch of spice
You can keep thinking, but that would be questioning twice
It’s all being sincere within the heart
More than tears and far from fears
It’s that special closeness that you hold near
The word is love in the preserver
Help one another
Be like no other
Seek to continue to explore
Don’t ignore nor subtract being no more
Life is an open door
What you think is closed but is subject to sure
What seems in what it might not seem
It is your assurance in you seeing in the actual seen
Christmas is a time to spread joy
Perhaps giving a less fortunate child a toy
Bring joy to someone who needs joy restored
You are the fulfilled in giving
This is the key in living
A motto to live by, “If I can help someone”
Watch as you and the person see eye to eye
Tomorrow was yesterday, but the future will always be a new day.

POLITICS ALLEY
preservationman Jun 2016
Momentum on a new high
This election surrounds you and I
Words beyond inspiring words
A mouth clearly stating I want to be heard
I will not mention any names
I will become a target being the blame
One politician has the right idea
Taking the opinions words away from hassle fear
This is the United States, as we must preserver

Every given moment of a rich opinion doom seems to get ever so close
Yet supporters want to boost
The separation of defend being most
This is happening coast to coast
From sea to shining free
This goes for all citizens including me
Justice for all regardless of color and creed
The Civil Rights Movement is what enabled America to proceed
It was injustice being an outcry need
Yet a certain voice wants to separate what an individual feels
But is this Presidential running mate for real?
Yes fellow Americans, the running mate wants to put a rock in your roadblock
But the encouragement to all, rock the vote
This is a serious election and shouldn’t be a mockery or joke

America must strive
Its not a matter of some have, and others have not
The White House can’t be a scene of a plot
We as voters must tie this knot
Thoughts are many, but outright uncanny
Stop the hate, but let’s come together in relate
It’s America and the world in how we communicate
This election surely must illustrate
Please vote in November before its too late
Our vote will determine our fate
Make November your date
The true President must be our Ambassador
However, we don’t need a matador
We had enough of all this bull
America’s cup is too full
Vote while you can, and question why you can’t
In any event, make it your chance
Voting is the only way we all can advance.

GONE BEYOND
preservationman Feb 2016
The many legacies I got
Your words that were spoke
A wakeup call being no joke
Utterance with tolerance
Life will have many turnstiles
But always use understanding during while
A detour might seem like a step back
But true vision is what will keep you on track
What matters most?
You have legacies and that is something to boost

While others doubt
You have something that you can shout
You are a commodity scheduled for preserver
Don’t ever let negativity come near
Knowledge is about bringing out abilities
Education is knowing one’s self
Don’t do like everybody else

Leadership is chosen responders
Knowing how, but not as a follower
Take the when and move to fast forward in can

You are your own award
You have been given the destiny sword
Determination to try and having no fear with a question of why
Life may not be everything you thought
Your legacies have prepared you long into tomorrow

Think of it like this, you are a challenger, but already know how not to be defeated
When negativity says no, put your abilities into illustrate and show yes

God who sits high above
It’s the glory and honor that I can think of
A man who died on the cross for our sins

Biblical times from the days of then
Praising and joyful in being can

HAWAIIAN BUDGE
preservationman Aug 2019
Hula to the shores
I see a Tsunami coming which I can’t ignore
I guess my hula caused a tidal wave
Ok hips, you need to behave
The hula must be done just right
But looking at my hips is a pitiful sight
Even the sun looks mad
Now that makes me feel sad
So much for the hula skirt
People on the beach are making a smirk
Let me stop using the hula with my hips before I cause an Earthquake
Even Heaven is saying, “For peak sake”
I guess one would have to give or take
Now attempting to do to the hula I do believe was a big mistake.

JOURNEY TO WRITE A BOOK
preservationman Jul 2015
I am going to try my hand in writing a book
I have shared my writing poetry and you all have taken a look
But writing a book requires being precise and concentration
I often think do I really have what it takes to write
At times I feel people are just being polite
When writing a book, I am not sure if I will excite
In fact, it might become a plight
Words will have to be just right
Sentences and phrases that should be tight
I want my book to have the rainbow and enduring light
This is how I feel perhaps I am making a big deal
Yet this is my thinking seal
I need encouragement but keep it real
I want to know how you feel.

The number between 23 and 25
But 24 is for you to strive
Experience you gained before
Opportunities for you to explore

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.

THE STORM HAS PASSED
preservationman Sep 2014
Clouds gather of an approaching storm
Yet in the wake, it is the Lord in don’t be alarmed
Strikes of lightening flashed through the sky
The rain came and I saw being a witness such as I
Suddenly the rain poured every so heavy
My heart was pounding like an overflowed levy
One last thunder roar
Then suddenly the storm was no more
The clouds parted and went their separate ways
Yes I explored this in a lifetime on this day
I wondered because the storm was ever so strong
The days seemed shorter, but wasn’t getting long
One’s thought only for a moment
One’s life departure in a second
One’s journey spirit in flight
What’s on one’s mind of beckin?
Has the storm truly passed?
Was the skies casting its mask?
For now the storm has passed
Can we live through another storm and be surpassed?
We must wait and observe
But the earth is loss in its own deserve.

UP IN HEAVEN
preservationman Feb 2015
I see a troubled world
Many don’t have Christ within their lives
Many are leading understanding within their own strives
Tomorrow’s arrival and future being everlasting still
Heaven who sees below and observes stubborn wills
Heaven’s movement being the show
God’s spirit establishing the flow
A world where a few pray
Some are living without salvation and are slowly decaying
It means you haven’t declared God as your salvation, and you will die with the Devil on your side
Where exactly will your soul preside?
Follow the trail from Heaven to Earth
This was a commitment starting from birth
The unbeliever being a loss soul time bomb
There could be an explosion at any given time
But salvation predestinates the bomb from going off and all the praises of resources combined
Even though I am high up in Heaven
I pray for a world that accept salvation still
I am giving you the opportunity at your own will
I want too see you all up here where I reign
All thou flesh will remain
The soul will be caught up in a Heavenly bout
Praises, Joy and Hallelujah is what I am talking about
Heaven being far from earth
A new nation forming a new birth
It’s riches of what Heaven is worth
It is also how stable you have made your salvation too become
My indication to people that salvation is not just for some
It is an open door to all too just come.

QUARTER TURN
preservationman Jul 2014
It was time people forgot
It was at a party where people got their drinking shot
The night was young
It was time to have fun
The moon was bright on the streets
The moment caught people in a tweet
Suddenly the earth did a reverse
What was truly happening too the earth
The world was changing
You could say the environment was rearranging
There was panic circling all around
Yet the streets were where people could be found
There was cracking and echoing sounds
Immediately the sun seemed to turn black
The sky was evidenced in what was lacked
The theory of scientist of who weren’t really sure
But this was something they needed to explore
There were waves rising higher than the shores
This phenomenon could no longer be ignored
Time was revolving
But no one has any reason in solving
Suddenly without warning, a miracle did a reverse
The earth didn’t become its own hearse
The quarter turn wasn’t the first
What will happen in the future, could it be for the worse?

TRUMP HITS A BUMP
preservationman Oct 2016
He has loss his way through the darkness.
His thoughts have been misdirected with a detour.
Trump must always think twice.
He loses motivation by not taking advice.
Politics flow has a message of No.
Words have no connection with the necessary flow.
Conditions in the world need no more negativity.
From America’s separation in bring all people together being activity.
Trump has a name.
But it relates to a dump truck taking aim.
Trump’s platform is nothing more than a mock.
Yet he doesn’t even have a resolutions stock.
The Commander-In-Chief is for more than a Corporate CEO.
It’s a person being the U.S. Ambassador in being in the know.
Apprentice is a learning tool while being educated in a trade by the best.
It’s not a conquest nor is it a request.
Now listen carefully and follow the flow.
Policies must be just right in getting overseas waters to agree.
Certainly shouldn’t be for Foreigners needing to flee.
It should be decisions in wait and see.
It’s living in true purpose in where it should be.
Racism should not be illustrating from past to present.
All have rights that represent.
It can’t be black shootings being constant incidents.
Afro Americans have done nobody wrong.
It’s the fact we all need to get along.
Dr. Martin Luther King had the right idea.
We shouldn’t have to live in fear.
Embrace one another is how we shall preserver.
Stand up for what should be right.
Avoid in an unnecessary fight.
Wars should serve purpose, but not against one another.
Because one doesn’t look like the other, it shouldn’t be hatred on any other.
Building walls is a form of separation.
America was built on decrees, desires, Determinations and sound judgments.
It’s the right to speak, live and fellowship.
Yet Trump should let that be lesson as a tip.
Trump feels because he is a Billionaire, he owns the USA.
But his lack of understanding makes his character astray.
Money can only go so far.
After that, money has no voice.
Trump is not a good choice.
There are followers on his side.
But there is an expected expiration, and I see a raging coming tide.
My own personal advice, “MOVE FORWARD, BUT DON’T TIRE AS TIME MARCHES ON, AND TOMORROW IS A WAKE UP FROM THE YOND. IT’S INSPIRATION IN BEING EMBRACED STRONG AND STAY IN THOSE VERY WORDS IN KNOWING YOU ARE A PERSON THAT IS FAVORED IN BELONG”.

THE RAVEN IN POETRY
preservationman Mar 2014
An Edgar Allan Poe thrill
A house and a Raven on a hill
The house surrounded by a gate
A test of fright that won’t be late
The eerie feeling of a darkness fitting the slate
From deep within a spirits soul
Its wonders of fate in behold
The mysterious from inner after
A case of another chapter
A Raven flies in flesh to ****
But the question of wait still
It’s the moment of wait until
Echoing voices from within the house
The pacing of a frightened mouse
Lightening flashes through the sky
It is daylight and no one knows why
Yet the house has a mission
It’s the humans being under submission
Spirits are looking for soul’s to live in
A new life to live in
Yet on universal go
Blood thirsting being the flow
A house and a Raven maneuvering slow
You as a reader will never ever know.
THE THOUGHT OF ONE'S MIND AND THE FEAR THAT IS COMBINED

We will have to vote for two Presidential candidates
It will be November being the Election date
This will require all of us to participate
I won’t mention any names
I will let individual track records in what will remain
Being the President is a very important job
It involves numerous resolutions to solve
This is a time where all people need to come together
Actually relate to one another
Separation is a thing of the past
It shouldn’t be a disguise hiding behind a mask
It’s decisions with precision
Debates in now one relates
It shouldn’t be emotions being a fate
Chief Ambassador in bringing countries to agreeable terms
Having understanding and a strategy to present
After all, The President is the U.S. represent
The White House is only a temporary resident
Yet during those four years, it’s about standing up to Congress to pursue
Always having new ideas to always look through
Remember, we must chose the true candidate to be
Then later vote with wait and see
A true change in what the U.S. people want
Not a voice being only a mire chant
Yet having a stature with personality to match
A theory being a well documented catch
However, always observing being a watch
Politics in the air
This was something I had to share
Keep your eye on the voting booth and let caution be your beware.

When my spirits are down
You know how to turn me around
You told me to lift my eyes to the sky
Because there was inspiration for I
It was faith instilling step out and move on
There is where strength that keeps you strong
When it comes to dance
It is assurance being your advance
When things look weary and I get teary
There is no mystery and God has his own simple theory
Voice with being merciful as a lamb and being a friend you can always talk to
The courage being the wonder
It’s all the aspects from yonder
You raised me up
It is your salvation that fills my cup
But it’s my inner soul in the stir up, and Trust in how I will achieve
It was talent you always knew I had, and you brought it out
I am full of praise and thanks Lord for that joyful shout.

One particular song that comes to mind is “SHINING STAR”
Anyone can be a star, but can they shine?
Maurice White was his own shining star
Turning a ballad into a beat
Giving dancers of all ages a real treat
Mr. White knew how to make everyone dance and feel the songs with a tap of their feet
His shine being his smile in knowing he had talent
But it was the group together known as Earth, Wind and Fire
However in my terms of Satisfaction, Commitment and Desire
It was the music that made people feel the mood and love in soothe
Maurice White had nothing to prove, as it was music along that did that
But this is a memory as a look back
His singing voice had women chanting
But it was the introduction of romance being the night
Ballads after ballads of love being forever
Mr. White lived out his shining star
He is in Heaven and has gone far
Mr. White is now in Heaven’s eyes
It shouldn’t be any surprise
The music beat has come to a slow
Yet Mr. White says, just follow my flow
Earth, Wind and Fire has slowed down
Their music will still be around
To all of us here on Earth, we need to keep our feet on solid ground
Melodies are many
But it is the praises that stand out
This is Maurice White that I have been talking about
He wants us to cherish his music that made us dance
This was an opportunity being his chance
His spirit has been lifted up and advanced
His legacy stating, “Thanks for letting me entertain, but my heart of appreciation will forever always remain”.

A POET’S HOLIDAY
preservationman Dec 2016
It was the holiday feeling where a Poet needed to write
From Poet to Poet, it was holiday greetings in being polite
A Poet writing sitting in a chair by the fireplace
As the Poet was at home, the snow started coming down
The feeling of Christmas was heard being the sound
While the Poet was at home, he didn’t worry because he was warm by the fireplace
Suddenly there were echoes of ranging bells
It was familiar being a Christmas Carol, and the Poet could tell
But what really surprised the Poet were his own words giving him holiday cheer being total inspiration
The Poet wrote many times, but being extra careful in not saying the wrong words
Even a little mouse sat and observed every word in the write on the Poet’s page
Both the Poet and the Mouse were amazed
But the snow outside got even heavier
In fact, it had become a snowstorm
So the Poet thought, “How would Santa travel through the storm?”
The Poet felt it was time to go to bed
The Lantern was turned off
Later the Poet felt into a deep sleep
Suddenly, Santa arrived and came down the chimney being his normal stride
But Santa’s Reindeer certainly had to hide
Santa left the Poet a special book, “Inspiring Poets in the Know”
Later, Santa took off and dashed away in the night
Well the Poet woke up Christmas morning and was surprised in seeing the book
Page after page, the Poet took a look
If you dream and believe enough comes with possibilities
Well the Poet appreciated the book
This was a Poet’s Holiday
Just like Rudolph, the Poet went down in history
Yet to others being false hopes, and to others no mystery
A Poet who writes today becomes words yonder ever after.

Destination striving from the heart

Vintage bus appears
A Bus Pioneer shares his bus storytelling soul

You never know what bus will pass by
You simply wave and embrace
You think to yourself, “Thank you for showing me the Bus way”
Bus recognition making its mark

Buses are all around you and in you
Pursue with a mission
Stand strong in your commitment

Echoes upon echoes chanting, “Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go”
Step aboard the bus, and be inspired
Don’t tire nor expire

I need God’s holy spirit to help me look up and see behold
A son loss in a struggle of despair
Yet you are the Savior that no one can compare
I pray deep
I need your mercy in keep
Your spirit tells me through darkness there is a light
This light is in remembrance in helping you overcome your plight
Trust in the above
Jesus the almighty to think of
A scar being a mire cut
I know it doesn’t sound like much
But God delivers and he does comfort

A sunrise with a darkened heart
A triggered shot with a hushed voice
Acceleration of life with tomorrow having no meaning
Another soul to sleep
The Devil’s demise in attempt to keep
God’s eye in wonder
Heavenly soul gone yonder
A young life cut short from the score
A question of justice in needing to explore
A time to pray
A nation in turmoil not feeling ok
The question being when will the volence end?
Tears on what will tomorrow be?
An uncertain pause of wait and see

Life we question in what it seems
However, it is the praying hands given to above
Once again it is Heaven that we think of
Endure in the goodness
I am the witness
To sleep is only a victory on a new tomorrow
A sunrise will return
Everyday living being an urn
God can and will
But continue to think on God still
God will comfort in your distress
But believing in faith your own personal test
Everlasting, fulfillment and joy as the final word
An ending sermon in have you heard
Peace unto you
The praises that is due
Walk in stride as you take God’s word to abide
My lips in one last kiss
Heaven’s doors open wide and remembering the hour in your stride.

Somewhere there was going to be an enchanted event

She read and immediately felt in love
The Princess needed to know who wrote such a beautiful poem
She later discovered, the Poet was at her door
When the Princess opened the Castle door, there was an immediate attraction
The Princess said, I want you to recite some poetry directly for me
“Beauty being the Princess eyes. A love that I have now found, I want to be your Prince and stick around. Please give me one kiss and your hand in marriage is my one wish”

She lit up the room where ever she entered
The smile that said, “Sit A While”

Whenever she laughed and spoke, it was wisdom speaking like a symphony
But through the laughter there were tears
It was pain being Mama Edna’s fears
Her heart was on sorrow

One’s thinking living could very well be anyone’s end
If this house could talk and what would it say?

Sounds like a run for your life too me
But let’s enter and just let be
As the house haunts
It’s bone and flesh in what it wants
However, I feel the house could be playing taunting
Ghostly creatures immediately pop out
My feet want to move swiftly and about
Get ready to run but on your mark
Breathe while you can
It’s a full moon tonight, and there will be a plight
Darkness with no light
1550 Center High Street, but with no good-bye yet
Yes 1550 Center High Street
The same house with a mystery treat
Yet you dare not take a peek
A house with several traps
The eerie feeling that will have you taking a crap
Many have tried to see what the house was all about
However all you could ever hear was nothing but screams and shouts
Lightening and thunder seem to surround the house
The house even scares the life of a small mouse
The house sits on a high hill
It seems too have its own will
However, mystery as it sounds, the house fits the bill
But just be very still
Happy Halloween Until.

Thanking the Heavenly one who has kept you all along.
preservationman Apr 2018
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.

HEART OF A POET
preservationman Jul 2015
Poet’s words capturing the reader’s heart
A story dialog that makes its mark
The heart of another that the Poet to whom he wishes express
Heart to heart being a true confess
Poets are who we are
Our ideas of words and thoughts have travelled far
But it is the Poet who always says it best
We are more than a phrase on a baseball cap
To get our attention just do a shoulder tap
The Poet in telling their story that will amaze
A moment of have you heard
Happiness in one verse
Desperation being controlled in reverse
The Poet’s angle alone
Encouragement that the Poet wants to be known
To the reader, it is actually being shown
A Poets enduring piece
A charmer who wants notions to be released
So heart of the inner soul
Words that come from a faceless hole
It’s line by line being the scroll
It is the entirety being the whole
The writing Queens and Kings being the majesty of the “Heart of the Poet”
Refreshing enjoyment and sentences being food for the soul
Poetry that never gets old.

THE ENTERPRISING BOOK
preservationman Jan 2016
Pages upon pages
A book read for all ages
Chapters among chapters
The words shouting like actor lines
The feeling of emotions coming out all combined
I remember a romance that began to start
It was pure fireworks as two starving hearts that came together
But it was that kiss of two lips like no other
Yet their communication having no word line slips
Who could forget a teenager who tried?
The teenager was studying for a very big math test
He was nervous so he had to confess
It was an SAT exam, which would determine what Ivy League University the teenager would attend
He wasn’t your average teenager as had a totally different blend
The teenager came from a wealthy family, but wasn’t really a bright kid
In fact, this is something his parents always hid
Yet the teenager prepared for the exam, and scored high beyond his expectations, and enrolled into Princeton University
The Secret Within the Storm
It was the farmland of a Kansas family
It was a heavy fierce dangerous thunderstorm
The Kansas family worried that if the lightening bolts were to ever hit the house and farm barn, they would lose everything they owned
That wasn’t the case, it was a storm that helped the family grow even bigger crops and prosper even more
They were thankful and didn’t ignore
The Kansas farm family just continued to pray more, and blessings they continued to explore
There you have it, stories into stories
The skies opening the stories like a curtain with all its glory
All it takes is a book read and seeing how in life you will proceed
A chapter could be written about you
I must conclude for now
It’s a matter in believe in yourself, and don’t depend on anybody else
The Enterprising Book says it best, “Words are simply inspirations with knowledge being the indication. It’s a matter of taking advice in, and being successful in your own begin”.

AFTERWHILE
preservationman Feb 2015
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.

THE EXCEEDING PAST
preservationman Jul 2014
A life of despair and sorrow
Not knowing if I would have a tomorrow
Yet my eyes were caught up in the sparrow
My past reflection in being committed
My remembrance in my dedication
It was my prayers being alone
My outcry in what was shown
My life my stuck on a record of thought
Determination was going to be my sought
It was God’s hand leading me on
It seemed like the understanding was long
However I knew it was church where I belong
The praying hands in giving me strength
Death seemed ever so close
But God’s word being look beyond
I found myself living among
What was a rough road?
It was a heavenly vibe in being a glorious story ever told
I lived to breathe and smell my own testimony
The enemy tried to make me doubt
But deep within my heart and soul, it was mercy that made me shout
My tongue being more than just words
It was my own sentences in finally being heard
There was a song in my voice
Being close to thee became my choice
My fulfillment in God’s request
He help me see better and not settle for less
My eyes were open
My heart was clear
It was God all along that I hold so dear
My past being more than a reflect
It my forgiving soul that I chose to elect
It was my honest heart in what God would expect
Yet God is mighty and the Devil being in reject
The past being put last, but it is God who gives an individual class.

A MAN NAMED STAGE COPELAND
preservationman Jul 2017
How did a man get a name STAGE COPELAND
He got it when he was a tot
Stage would pretend to perform in front of his family and friends in performances he had seen
On any occasion, you would see stage acting out drama at home in his own way
Having a name like Stage is fitting for the stage
Well as he grew up into a teenager, the thought acting on stage became a deep down passion
With the name Stage, he was ready to perform
So Stage joined a small Acting Theater group in his town
Stage performed, “MY MISSION”
It was a story about a man who had nothing but ambitions in being a success
Yet it was more of a testimony turning into a confess
After while Stage had become a very good Actor, but was ready to advance
Luckily, there was a Broadway opportunity being chance
Imagine performing on the Great White way
Well that would be a highlight being ok
The Broadway Show was called “YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET”
However, Stage had talent and Broadway would be getting the commodity of get
So STAGE auditioned and caught the Director’s attention
I don’t need to mention
STAGE got the Lead Role
He played the Leading Role of Franklin Stewart, a man who wanted to be in show business
How fitting, Stage would be the perfect witness in playing an actual part that describes him
Well its show time
The orchestra music has begun
The curtain is rising up
Applause from the audience
Performance of a lifetime has transcended
Dramatic line, “Acting has always been in my blood, the inspiration is like water flowing like a flood”
STAGE got thunderous applause
He acted the dramatic acts playing the role that was similar to his own
STAGE and the Cast bow to the audience
Then the curtain comes down
The performance could be described as stardom bound.

POEM WITH NO NAME
preservationman May 2015
A time to write
I might be sounding a little polite
But its words that explore
Happiness and joy in writing that just can’t ignore
Words combing drama and emotion
The vision of one’s life past involving an ocean
The moment of one’s inner heart ready to shout
At one’s last look, there was some doubt
Yet a tomorrow was only a reflection of yesterday
The breeze in feeling at ease
Appreciation and being well pleased
Words followed, and that is what helped overcoming sorrow
Sentences that helped to relax
Overcoming that feeling of being perplexed
But as the sun arose
The writing was the realization in what was supposed
Words became the music
Sentences being the applause
The sunshine being the inspiration
But at the end, an accomplished spirit
The rainbow hand being merit
A poem not needing a name
It is all about thought that shall remain.

Heaven called and I answered
My tomorrow being yesterday
I lived my life out
But now I have praise to shout
Don’t cry for me
Don’t say farewell
My hour glass was my expired time
I walk alone
The Chariot a waits
I can’t be late
The Death Angel came to me
Heaven has opened the gates
It’s the blessings being relate
I was hated very much on Earth
It’s best that I am dead
My eternity being my stead
I am in a restful peaceful sleep
My Soul being Heaven to keep
Think of me in the sunrise
My talks being my advice
Living made me wise
It’s a new day in Heaven and it is my slumber being forever.

ROAD ESCAPE
preservationman Aug 2015
It was a hot and summer day
A man tells his wife he will be back in an hour
However he has been traveling on a Greyhound bus for 4 hours
The man told his wife he was going to the store for a smoke
Oh what a joke
The man got on a Greyhound bus that was heading west
I was also on that same bus so I can confess
The man got on the bus in a small Texas town
Yet he was riding all night being westward bound
I listened as he told his story
He said it proudly being his glory
You probably could call this story, “When you can’t stand stress, escape on behalf of us”
Just take the bus to avoid the fuss
Well I don’t really know his true story, as there are two sides to every story
He only stated she was a nag and he just couldn’t take it anymore
It was simply the Greyhound bus awaits and he must not be late
The man’s idea for a cigarette and a Greyhound ride to let me forget
But I firmly believe that somewhere he would regret
As the story ends, the man made it too the west in what his inner soul that says it best
“Escape with me having a peace of mind, and refreshing soothe with everything combined”.

But for the moment, I will let them go astray
Tomorrow is considered a new day
But it seems today confliction has me on stay
This is not ok
I must be determined and rise up
Steady as it goes
Let courage take over being the show
Just feel the assurance of faith and go with the flow
There will be a tomorrow I will see
I shouldn’t doubt, but just let be
Let the hope be like a refreshing breeze
Later follow feeling being at ease
A tomorrow that had can’t wait
But is my Faith that has stamped the date.

A POET’S REVELATION

A word put there
Who enters in where?
Anticipation by surprise
The beauty of a sunrise
The mind captivated like an enterprise
But through it all, a turning point in realize
The vision of one’s talent
The wonder of one’s accomplishment
It becomes the establishment of an idea
A concept that will preserver
Words full of enchantment
Into the eyes of familiar words
Also a poet in saying “By the way”
These are my true unspoken words in which I say
It brings encouragement in being committed day by day
Explanations being heard
I wrote but didn’t speak
I heard but refused to listen
My smile was something not of the other
There was no image sharing with another
I looked beyond the person
My wildest dreams I haven’t seem
However I know I must be truthful and come clean
As a Poet I must stand up for who I am
My legacy is whom I am about
A poet to say it is ok
You are the breeze within personal touch, and you are in the merit that says much, however move your hand into write then later your pause will be a delight and your soul being polite.

I am glad you are
I am not
I tried wearing those colonial shoes
My feet have the nerve to just refuse
In fact, the term was “Pain, Agony and Defeat”
I tell you not a happy feat or better known as Feet
The only shoes I would wear being a Town Crier is Flip Flops
Colonial shoes back than
However, who am I too say and wasn’t born until after when
Comfortable shoes are my favorite word
Now have you heard?
Apparently not as I think
I court you in that wink
Painful Agony feet wouldn’t be my best suit
No being a Town Crier for me as there wouldn’t be any pursuit
Now the Colonial Town people wouldn’t want to see a Town Crier Cry
I ask you to look me in the eye
The explanation would be hard to explain
This Town Crier would only complain
Everything else would just remain
Uncomfortable Colonial Shoes would definitely come to their end
Relief that would start from when
Imagine passing information to the Colonial Citizens
I would probably wine up in prison
Nothing in reason than shoes that hurt
Arguing Feet
A total give into being defeat
Those Colonial Shoes I just couldn’t keep
In my eyes it just a clean sweep
It would be a Town Crier try
As for the reason, all I can say is why?
I don’t know how Benjamin Franklin and other Colonial Pioneers wore those shoes
I would have to refuse
Those Colonial Pioneers must have had feet like stone
But I will leave that alone
But History is History
As for Arguing Colonial Shoes that is a total mystery
My opinion in a final thought, I should have known.

What really happened to Humpty Dumpty?
Nursery rhythms said he had a great fall
But who really made that call?
Now it could have been someone who had revenge
Rage beyond expectation
There were eyes being a witness who actually saw what happened to Humpty Dumpty?
He could have been cracked open
Certainly there was a purpose
It was a case being over easy with sunny side up
Yet someone won’t confess because they are all fed up
So many question with no precise answers
It’s an egg shell mess still with no confess
So the mystery of Humpty Dumpty fall still lives on
A story with its own dialog
A Nursery rhythm having a belong
But for now I must say so long.

BY AND BY
preservationman May 2016
My Grandmother would often tell me the story of “BY and BY”
I often wondered as a youngster to what she was talking about
As an Adult I know what my Grandmother was stating
It was “Understanding” and later “Wisdom”
As a youngster, you don’t think on those things
A kid just wonders that is just Grandma talking her talk
But believing or not, it’s a theory that is proven and set
You can’t put a price tag, but it becomes valuable information for life
Through the struggles with inner strength to bare
The key is wisdom that will help and handle with care
Overcome fear as God is always near
BY and BY being a learning response
The future in being the time that BY and BY will take affect
Also the notion that Grandma was right with BY and BY
She knew life with tears in cry while learning to be wise
It takes effort, and all one has to do is try
BY and BY
Through the storm of life, we will understand after while.

THE CONFUSING DREAM

The dream that came through the night
It looked like more of a plight
I will have to see if the dream provides understandable light
As the dream continued in its stream
Too no prevail, I still didn’t know that the dream would mean
Yet the dream offered no solution
I was left to draw my own conclusion
The dream showed me an ocean
Then there were signs of methods being notions
My life in the dream seemed to be fast moving and occasionally look backs
I still didn’t know what to think of all that
My mind was taking the dream as a movie stream
It seemed to be a test of understand
It was again fast moving and plenty of illustrating
But later the dream seemed to come clear
Every thought in my mind was a solution that was near
Later the dream came to an end
But the dream was encouragement and full of inspiration that my life has truly begun and my fulfillment was not done
You are a person to look upon and you are chosen to be among.

A Novelist thought clever in wanting to write a trivial story
He had all the details with bringing all its glory
How will the reader respond?
It’s anybody’s guess
The Novelist controls the theory being his trump card
But the story has a strong tail
Now let me illustrate without fail
The conclusion is the start with a turnaround
It was ****** in the start being a conclusion of the dialog
Later the story becomes a turnaround with knock at the door that led to the ******
Now there is no specific order
The idea is too visualize in your mind what the outcome should be
The Novelist is only setting the background with the situation
Yet there is a lot of reverse in the turnaround
The identity of the murderer is not really clear
But there is uncertainty being fear
The Novelist write, and suddenly pauses
He thinks to himself in where the story should begin
But does the reader want to depart instead
The conclusion in begin sounding more like an illusion
But there is a lot of confusion
Puzzled on face
This whole story could become a total erase

It became the Freedom Riders presentation
Opposition tried to stop
Name calling in mock
Freedom stands for all
It was no time to stall
Greyhound’s rolling wheels focused enroute

It was a mission the Freedom Riders had to pursue
Civil Rights being a follow through
Freedom Riders knew they couldn’t tire
The struggle couldn’t be an expire
The multitude of voices in shout
The Freedom Riders stood ******* principles
They were the anecdote with a cure
Freedom simply needed to be secure
Multitude strong with pride
It was togetherness in the Freedom Riders stride
Civil Rights is still an issue today
The world must take a stand all the way
There can’t be a command with a demand
Justice is for throughout the land
Thank You Freedom Riders for the path
This is not the last
Greyhound thanks for the Civil Rights destination
As for the Freedom Riders, you are the face of the nation.

LORD STATION

No train and bus that you need to catch
All you need is faith that should be match
No need to fly on a commercial plane
God has his own natural spiritual champagne
Thinking of Heaven which can’t compare
It is salvation that I wish to share
The name itself needs no indication
But Faith is your information
But to the world below of the unbeliever, it’s persuasion with the flow
You can take it really slow, but when God calls be ready to go
Salvation to explore
You have a choice you can ignore
Yet praises lifted up extending beyond the shores
A Heaven’s voice echoes out
Rejoicing joy and this is what I am talking about
The Earth multitudes with many problems too bare
A God who understands and does care
Also the same God who sees trouble and informs in beware
God’s journey is far beyond any earthly trip
Yet the scriptures are our encouragement being the tip
God’s spirit is like a fast amusement park ride
But God knows how to cruise his saints in a smooth glide
Lord Station the destination at our arrival
Our journey has just begun
Let our light shine being among
A worthy cause with the armor on
Be ready and steadfast and in the Savior’s hands of belong.
