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.

Certified and Qualified
Talent in demand
Presenting one’s personal standards
At interviews, applicants are put too the test
But I often wonder do Interviewers take candidate’s words for less
Now the Interviewer is looking for “Certified and Qualified”
The Resume speaks in advance of what the candidate has accomplished
That’s obvious
Then it is up to the interviewer after reviewing the Resume in scheduling Face to Face meeting
Candidates do have the training and standards
But it seems Interviewer’s state company standards
But if there is a correlation, you already meet the objective
If you didn’t meet and your Resume says you do, why sudden change on the Interviewer’s part
Yet most of the time, Race is a factor on qualifications
It shouldn’t, but often is
However, a company will say they are an Equal Opportunity Employer
That means Equality for all
If Race comes into play, how is that Equal?
One’s Resume states what the candidate has achieved based on ability being merit
Two words that stand out, “Marketable and Commodity”
But why do interviewing questions be asked to one Ethnic Group but not another
One’s Resume will state Qualified in the Interviewer’s eyes
But personal feelings being spite
The Resume is the first Representation, and one on one meeting being the second
But with all one’s training and experience makes an candidate in the interviewer’s theory of overqualified
What makes a candidate Overqualified and Qualified?
If you were to ask the interviewer, there wouldn’t be a precise answer or perhaps no answer at all
Certified and Qualified
But if the salary doesn’t compensate
Obviously, the interviewer doesn’t want to negotiate with a compensate
The qualifications after that doesn’t lead to appreciate
The candidate still has an accomplished Resume
Certified and Qualified.

What I thought was my life being a dream
I was trying to find reality in what did it mean?
Windows around my house would often crack and smash themselves
I would often see fragment pieces on the floor
But somewhere in my life was a pattern in not being sure
A thought of uncertainty
However, I am back to finding reality
Yet the self being with shattered hope
But it is a mechanism that one must cope
Shattered with the message in pieces bringing my life back together
It doesn’t have to be a dark cloud hanging over
I was meant to live a life
I am my own advice
However my tears are starting to fall
But I need to end this shattered once and for all
Life is what one puts in
Make life continual and not a begin
Shattered becoming a reason to survive
The message is clear with be thankful that I am yet alive.

Thank you for bravery and courage
Your service well deserved
You are proud to serve
You are a Soldier distinguished
Your mission being an assignment being a try
Don’t stop on the battlefield to cry
America’s protection in the mist
No boundary will ever separate us
Eyes on detail an absolute must
The Flag illustrates your dignity and honor to be a Soldier
It doesn’t matter rank nor being military retired
A Veteran is a Soldier for life regardless
Your honor I always pray
Faith is the key every step of the way
Being a Soldier is our inspiration in everything will be ok
God is your shield
The enemy will always be revealed
I salute on Veterans Day
I need no more to say.

Let the footprints of words open our story
A poet who was inspired in the woods
His thoughts focusing on should
The Poet observed the environment that he was in
Somewhere there was going to be an enchanted event
The Poet wrote4 down words that seemed to describe love
Suddenly a rush of a wind blew, and what the Poet wrote down had flown up to a Princess living in a castle
The Princess said, “What was this piece of paper on the floor?”
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”
Well the Princess was so welcomed with the poem recite and didn’t know what to say then ok
It was cheers of joy to the Princess Poet Prince
They both took hands in marriage and Poet Prince wrote until
So how did this Poet fairytale love affair continue?
Enchanted in every way
Dove birds flew and musical bliss could be heard in the distance
However, Poet Prince passed generation to generation in poetry write
Write on everyone
Write into the night.

I wonder
I strive to be
Yet hesitate in my own maybe
My assurance has no influence
I lack total endurance
My eyes just look up
But my heart feels all stir up
A problem seems to surround
I am loss in my own bound
I need access to gather my thoughts while they yet can be found
My sentences are my uttering words
Am I dreaming or did I just want to be heard?
My wonder is actually myself
I am human just like everybody else
So I should wonder no more and just explore.

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.

Let us entertain and guide you
Often Tourist will say, what will we do today?
Exploration throughout the Tourist stay
Hotels to chose from based on price
At times, relying on Internet advice
Take in a Broadway Show
Entertainment with Dramatics putting the Tourist in the know
Dining and Wining in one setting
This is a vacation, so give yourself a treat
Walk up and down the New York City Streets
There are so many Restaurants offering you places to eat
Cuisine will have a sizzle
Taste will awaken the Tourist senses
New York City is a town that never sleeps
You will have no time for my soul too keep
Front Line Rivers from the Hudson to East River
Sightseeing boats showing New York City like never before
After the Bus Tours, you will be heading for the New York City Pier Shores
But New York City doesn’t stop there, it extends into the suburbs of Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island
New York City has so much too offer, you won’t see everything the first time around
But you will once again be New York City bound
Hustle and Bustle of New York City will be your remembrance sound
It doesn’t matter if it was Downtown to Uptown
There are activities all around to be found
Persuasion with a purpose on key
This is New York City being everything it should be
So when you leave, please come back
It is exactly like that
In fact, you won’t be able to keep track
New York City offers delight
The Broadway Great White way add to the spotlight
New York City being the Empire State
There are the Catskills and Adirondacks
Expand your mind while breathing in fresh air
It’s nothing beyond compare
It doesn’t matter if it is New York City itself
New York City is not like everybody else
There you have it for now
You should be saying oh wow
Fashion your style
All that during while
That’s it for now.

As one thinks thoughts change
In an instance comes rearrange
One can only wake up and yond
Having eyes look up is a wonder upon
But with the theory of being among
Skies having their own particular look
It’s the Devil comprising evil ways being a crook
Changeable skies into questionable wonders
It’s not necessarily in that order
What holds for the hour?
Then there’s the added hatred being sour
The clouds seem to hug together
There is a darkened shade like no other
Heaven is way beyond anyone’s eyes
Deep within the universe, there is an element of knowledge and how we become wise
It doesn’t require dollar and cents
It’s something of sequence with a touch of a smelly scent
It’s a matter in having common sense
Questionable tomorrow, but concentrate on today
You are the commodity to illustrate all the way.

Eye on Scriptures
Concentration on words
Expanded Spiritual knowledge
Dialog in superior
Wonders of the mind
Beyond the world
Personal experiences
Heaven’s influences
Darkness turned to light
One’s walk shinning bright
Approaches with defense
Devil’s defeat
From loss to found
The Cross bow down
The stand and be strong
Spread the word
Let your encouraging voice be heard
Rise and Praise

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.

Happy Birthday to all born on March 3, 2016
I just wanted to share some inspiring words
This is a day to look back and also to move forward in continued living
Strive for excellence
After all, your is about elegance
Embrace in positive thoughts
Be absorbed in what you sought
Your birthday is about a striving life
I don’t have to give you advice
The spotlight is focused on you and only you
From this moment on, it is what you want to do in your endeavors within your pursue
Thank God that you reached this far
It’s an honor and grace in being created for who you are
This is your time that can’t be erased
But you day continues in search for understanding and wisdom to lead you on
Thanking the Heavenly one who has kept you all along.

We are your past
As years rolled on time moved fast
We made our mark
This is your introduction in making a start
Freedom has become a dim light
It’s a known fact in being a plight
It’s the world in turmoil
This is all happening on the Earth soil
We fought until our voices were heard
We marched entirely
Justice needed a name
Our efforts were going to be our aim
History was made being a milestone
But it took multitude’s as you can’t do it alone
Our legacies are within you
We see the struggles even high above
This is a continuation in our honor in what I am talking about
The battle isn’t over
This is where each of us comes in
The sun has risen
Tomorrow is the new day
Freedom and Justice should be heading our way
Opposition wants us to continue from the past and into the present in being silent
We are American’s creed
The constitution gives us the right to proceed
The entire world is in need
You have a quest
Make us proud
Do it while you still have time allowed
A moment doesn’t last long
But you are our legacy, and you know where you belong
Nations rise
Justice and Freedom should be seen in all eyes
We were old yet wise
Efforts being golden
Walk in our spirit
We have entailed the merit.

Giving birth to me wasn’t easy at first
My birth was certainly nothing that had to be rehearsed
It was you who wanted to be a mother to be
It was love between a man and woman in wanting to see
The whole concept was made possible through thee
Yet you didn’t raise me in not knowing how
I was raised by my Grandparents of a moment of now
Being a Mother is about nurturing
Lecturing is about learning
From a child into an adult
All these emotions is what I felt
My whole life has been surrounded by dealt
Mother, where is the love?
There are many meanings that I could think of
You pushed me away
Yet I have survived and I am ok
I long for you Mother to be around
At times, I feel trapped within walls and nowhere bound
But as education taught me in being to distinguish sounds
My life has fulfilled a lot of promise
But I must be honest
A Mother is supposed to be there
But my question to you is where?
I once had hatred for you, but that has since stopped
But through the years, you often made a mock
Mother, you are older now
It’s my understanding in showing you how
I was born with a purpose
My whole life has been raised above the surface.

Confliction is upon
Why am I the person being among
Today is the day
Anticipation in overcoming in every way
There are many words one could say
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.

Front and back covers being the same
But your mind in thinking won’t remain
Sentence lines seemed to reverse
Eerie words sounding the need for a hearse
Yet the words certainly strike out
You might even hear a scary shout
Chapters were getting shorter
Rearrangement in no specific order
A Multi-faced Book having its own mission
It’s into the minds to confuse and corrupt
Later causing the reader to get boozed and outraged in a erupt
A story attempting to tell
The reader being stuck on oh well
Yet a Multi-Faced Book
It became a thriller making you take a look
One word into many words persuading you in being took
One page at a time
Numerous combinations
Mind is captive away into many imaginations
Illusions that fool one’s precise
But than again, there is no time to think twice.

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”.

Nonstop with no intermediate stops to Heaven
A Soulful ride in the rejoicing stride
All direct
An express bus wouldn’t have that affect
Heaven has no elect
Yet knowing your Soul is all fired up
The goodness in rising up
Your Faith has reached Jesus Heavenly line
Having Joy and praise all the time
However, it is the expectation feel
Jesus is at the wheel
This is the ultimate Heaven Express
All the Soulful years on Earth will be left
Once Heaven arrival with nothing but singing and rejoicing
What an Honor!
Glory to Jesus name
Knowing the fact you are welcomed at the Heavenly gates
Heavenly rooms have been extended to bring more souls in
It’s everlasting that will begin
Your salvation will take all the praise in
So express yourself with gratitude in praise
Your life was nothing but amaze
Heaven’s bull’s eye in thoughts
Destination Heaven
Arrival will long be before seven
Nonstop praise
Years of Jesus amaze.

Sidney Poitier, you were a wonder
Your talent spans from yonder
Mr. Poitier were his in how he expressed dramatics to the world
You inspired many to travel in your paths of Acting
Your footprints being your wisdom
Your achievement earned you the award to the Kingdom
You were a master in whatever role you played
Speech with assurance your character
Dramatics was your high point
You were a man who stood on principles
I remember Sidney Poitier on HEAT OF THE NIGHT with his affirmative, “THEY CALL ME MR. TIBBS”
Heaven calls you ‘EXCELLENCE”
You were extraordinary
Yet well established
It doesn’t matter what land one comes from
It’s the determination with the spirit towards effort

Your assignment is complete
Heaven announced, “Your room is ready”
Your soul rejoiced and held steady
Your spirit soared
The world applauded
Vision of essence
Your words in don’t sorrow
We will meet again
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Sidney Poitier

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.

Journeys endless
The sun has risen in a new day to begin
On this hot and humid summer day on the highway
It involves a Greyhound bus, trucks and cars
Destination on the Greyhound bus to a place called “Trust”
So as the passengers sleep and recline in their seats
The Greyhound bus tires turn and turn to every moving beat
Tire tweet sounds
Onward and onward the Greyhound bus being bound
But there was an uneasiness that no one will expect
Suddenly within that second
The Greyhound bus started to lose control
There was no preparation for the passengers to take hold
The Greyhound bus turned over and over on its side
No passenger aboard had any place to hide
So what caused the bus to crash?
You see, a car had literally stopped in the express lane
The driver of the car was completely lame
Fortunately, there was no loss of life
This wasn’t the Greyhound Driver’s fault
The passengers of the bus only had minor injuries and not serious
But you can imagine, The Greyhound Driver and passengers were totally furious
Yet there seemed to be uneasiness from the start rising to the max
Accountability being nothing more than witnessing having facts.

Praise unto me
Let your light shine for all to see
My goodness and mercy is for eternity
Salvation is a given right as a reality
Conquer the Devil in his all his wrath
The reward of faith is what will last
Our Lord who lives very far
It’s the Heaven’s being well beyond the stars
What I learned was between me and thee
My wisdom, knowledge and understanding for all to see
God’s praying hands of guidance
Tears of my cry
You told me too rejoice and continue living in try
I prayed
You answered in the sincerity being a spirit relay
I often said I am alone
But you let me know you are with me and let it be known
You also told me I am your creation
It was a thought, but a worthy mention
Yet you lead me everyday
You give me inspiring words in what to say
The Holy Spirit gives me enduring strength
It’s every angle at every length
You prepare me for battle that’s coming my way
This I conquer on a daily day
Your praise rings high and no question of why
You are my Lord, Savior and Keeper and my faith reigns in thy.

Death being eminent in my years spent on earth
It was from birth to the present
I grown old and weak
It’s a new generation in which the earth seek
Yet through my years, I became wise
My future will be tomorrow
A shade has cast on my eyes
I have seen all I need too see
Tears from mourners looking down on me
Don’t cry for me as Heaven has beckoned
I am the soul that was assured in Heaven’s reckoned
Live in the flesh no more
My soul has been given the opportunity too explore
My praise in being absolutely sure
I am aware where I am to go
I have been called and directed in the flow
I can’t be late
I also can’t hesitate
My eyes have become Heaven’s guide
My soul will be eternal as an everlasting stride
Glory to God, I did abide
My past and my thoughts have been put aside.

Stepped into the wrong direction
Fear all through me in indication
I don’t want to be any animal’s prey
My mind says just pray
I feel alone
I am surrounded by nothing but forest
It’s trees upon trees
I don’t feel at ease
I could be pounced by any fierce animal in a second
But not I am on caution in beckoned
The forest environment says be prepared
I guess the animals are thinking welcome to my laird
There’s no time to declare
But I do need get out of here
But I am truly scared
This is forest is beyond compared
But the darkened make my vision impaired
Yet I am wide open in the wilderness
I have no accord being a witness
I am my own accord
There’s no water being a fount
I must keep moving about
This is a bout
There’s no way I can work this out
The wilderness is my journey
This is certainly not funny
The wilderness is, and here I am

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.

You had three months to soothe
The sunshine and warmth and wouldn’t be enthused
But as August comes to an end, it is Summer about to conclude
The fact of being on vacation
School’s out being the indication
Summer fun beyond the job
Sharing the beach with the multitudes being a mob
But Summer is slowly coming to an end
September will soon begin
Where did Summer go?
Apparently we moved entirely too slow
But the months just moved with the flow
I am in the final day of my job summer hours
This truly makes my heart really sour
Summer is gradually moving on
The Seasons are going to be long
It is a sequence where they belong
Once again Summer fun almost gone
Now you need to wake up from your yond.

I am the Lord and you are my chosen sensors
Heaven is for the praying believer
Faith in the heart and confession of sins being the start
Sin is a pillar of death
Redemption of one’s accord is the time left
Remember I am the Lord who died at the cross
My voice is powerful and strong, but with a distinct force
Yet I am a merciful as a lamb
I am your counselor who will lead you to Heaven
It’s an automatic date, however you must seek Christ first
Change from one’s ways being a reverse
I am your armor of protection
I am the brick that won’t crack
I am the sea’s that will hold back
I am the blessing’s that will be well stacked
Your fulfillment being right at your front door
All you have to do is just explore
There is no time to ignore
Front and Center, It is God with the open door who invites you to enter
All are welcome and none is turned away
This is the creed each and every day
Jesus is no mystery and certainly no secret
Share your life with Christ, and you will be rewarded in all the Heaven spice.

I know I have said many times to follow the flow
Then don’t let go
But I have a new approach
It’s no joke
Everyone in someway is a Poet within
Positive in mind that says you can
However, it is your opportunity of a Poet as of when
It goes far beyond expression words
Think on your emotions like dramatics in needing to be heard
Where there is utterance writing becomes the therapy in tolerance
You can learn through your own writing in how to be patient
Instance in being automatic won’t necessarily apply
Yet being a true Poet, you be committed in giving writing a try
You won’t become a Poet Legend overnight
But there is a possibility in might
However, a Poet who writes is actually the narrator in illustrate
Writing is an art with having appreciation
This happens on any given occasion
Your writing could alive like a Benjamin Franklin Kite with the charge
Amaze yourself
Yet I leave you these words
“A Poet is assured and sets the guidelines being there own accord. It’s imagination in the words, and having a voice in spreading the word while being heard”
“Wonder not, but do strive in the moment being now with establishing how but adding then and when along with knowledge in stating the Poet is in the know and to the reader, enjoy reading being it’s own show”.

Struggles that was America’s past
A Civil Rights voice determined having no defeat
Forces that were the superior be said one must retreat
One such person was **** Gregory who stood firm on his feet
Justice having equality for all Races being **** Gregory’s call
There wasn’t going to a succumbed fall
But there was yet another side of **** Gregory, and it was the message of robust Health in not being like everybody else
Mr. Gregory felt devoted and a mission that it became
Living a long life being the aim
Mr. Gregory lived a long and fulfilled life
Wisdom and understanding was his advice
He put his trust in God
Heaven looked down and smiled
**** Gregory you lived your full life while
But the chariot had pulled up
Heaven’s reply, “It’s time to go home”
Your steps had gotten slower and slower
You put up a good fight
But now you are in Heaven’s spotlight
**** Gregory, your name is known throughout the world
Memories upon memories of hearts you swirl
Your soul is now with the Lord
But you message to all your fans below
“Don’t cry and be sad”
I am rejoicing in Heaven now
I fulfilled my work back on Earth
Today Heaven is my new birth
Forget me not, but remember who
I am **** Gregory, a name the world knew.

All military salutes we honor
It’s more than Red, White and Blue
It’s the brave and the chosen few
Our hearts we continue to pray
God’s protection being our relay
Let the fight on struggles to end one day
This I pray were sustaining the battlefield stay
The fallen always having a place in my heart
I hear soul spirits chanting in the distance, “Carry on, but remain strong”
Drums that beat, but with the tone in don’t give in to defeat
Missiles that fly, but remain alert with continued courage, but don’t cry
Carry on Soldier you were meant to be
Eyes of the world we all can see
The world continues to give applause
Salute again and again
It’s Veterans Day
There are many words one could say
Yet it is my appreciation in every way
I will salute you until the mission is done
Keep your military stance at every chance
It’s doesn’t matter of rank as you will advance
Music in your honor is playing and I hear a Band and a flute
Battle Hymn Republic
My eyes see victory
It’s God’s glory
Keep marching to the mission drums until the battle is truly won
My prayers continue and will stay in place
Move from the shadows and into the sunlight
What is a plight, but it will continue to be God in might
Yet battles take time until won
Onward Soldiers, you will be always number one.

It relates to 9/11
You see, I went on an interview Two Weeks before 9/11/2001
The interview was at Marsh & McClennan, Inc. at their Midtown New York City Office
But the Clerical job I would be doing was at the Former original 1 World Trade Center Tower on the 96th Floor
If I worked during that period, I wouldn’t have made it out for sure
I never did get hired
But it was a blessing
The World Trade Towers were attacked
I could have been involved in that
A blessing was bestowed unto me you
Perhaps a learning lesson for me
Faith was the key
My name could have been on the memorial list
But God saw my name would be overlooked survival miss
I firmly believe God’s mission having a plan in his hand
I am at God’s command
Faith
Hope
Praise
It was all through God’s amaze
Amen in the blessing
9/11, I will never forget and always remember
I was given another chance of life

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.

A question with some doubt
A voice but no shout
The assurance definitely being weak
Perhaps a past situation could be considered then bleak
A gesture that was not forgot
The memories stored being a lot
A request that never got done
That could be the reason being number one
I offered some trust
But it didn’t seem like it was a must
It takes confidence with assurance
Persuasion combined with endurance
Do you trust me?
I guess you will have observe and see.

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.

Open your hearts
The Hudson River curtain is your endured soul
Voices a wait and behold
I visited a Poet’s Paradise
One thinks, and could be more than twice
Words alone but nothing but inspiration adding to the spice
I am your guide
Our journey is Governors Island, a place where Poets voices will preside
It’s dramatics and beyond breathing expectations will be the stride
It was the New York City Poetry Festival
Several voices being their own words
I will give you a sample of what I heard
My life seemed endless
Having no meaning I thought
Perhaps beyond my own intellect
But was I losing my mind above all
There was a message being the call
Be who you are and nobody else
I am that image and it surrounds self
Strive while you have time to be alive
Moments can be short
Yes negative things you must abort
Yet life has its wonders
Sometimes a wake up yond into Yonders
But its what one contributes to make life more meaningful
The ability to create
However, a time not being too late
I know I have fulfilled when I am invited in through the Heaven’s Gates
Well that was my own personal poem insertion that I just wanted to illustrate.

I have a slavery folktale of my own
I am Mae Rock, and I was once a slave
Always taught being black you must behave
How did I get the name Mae Rock?
I was named for Unbreakable, Unstoppable and Strong as a Solid Rock
The Plantation owner named me that for that very reason
I would often rebel after being beaten and refused the plantation ways
I knew I had to getaway
During those slavery years, you would find me reading the word and praying morning, Noon and night
One slavery night, I tried to escape
I crossed the river that was in South Carolina on state line heading for North Carolina
Ever so close leading to the North
When morning came, the plantation owner discovered I was gone
They had their dogs to track my scent and foot prints, but because I went through the river, they loss total track of me
I was determined to never go back to the plantation nor slavery live again
Sometimes I would tire, but knew I had to push on with all inner strength I could muster
The Lord guided me throughout my journey
I met fellow slaves along the way
In my Southern Draw is all I knew
I encouraged the other slaves to make their way North and escape to Freedom
Mae Rock’s words were, “You have to live and breathe as any person walking this Godly Earth. The Heavenly skies spells “Freedom”. The ways of the oppressed plantation owners could no longer being tolerated”
Suddenly a crack of Thunder, Flash of Lightning came along with the pouring rain and a rush of the mighty winds
It was decreed at that very moment that all slaves had to be free
It was as if that was God’s decree, and he had spoken
Freedom came loud and strong
All the slaves knew where they belonged
Head North for a better life
Mighty and true
Success in pursue
Mae Rock’s Legacy for generations to come, “Live out your dreams with spirit and destiny. Be true to yourself and to others. Don’t ever be silent, but always vocal. Time will come in your favor, but you must believe”
A Slavery Folk song says “Dance before the Lord as he is the melody through circumstance, and breaks all barriers. Enrich your mind and voice on one accord. It’s assurance that comes from the Lord”

Need inspiration to get you to write?
Let my encouragement be your journey to excite
A writer and a Poet with creative minds to share
Your emotions for all too bare
Negativity to be thrown out and don’t welcome dare
Determination with desire that will pull you through
Destiny in being stuck to your head like glue
Journey being a destination of any ideas possible
Accomplishment with what you have written
How’s this for an opener, “Trust that was a strong ******, but it was my true strength to live that became a must”
Combination being your own lock with the keys of your mind
Suggestions after suggestions of what was all combined
Confession being your honest heart
Beginning was a place all along being your start
The skies are your inspiration
The writer in you was always the indication
It was a matter in bringing your writing out
Any subject that could be what your wrote about
True words chosen by you
Your ideas that were thought out through
Well it’s time for you to sit down and write
Go the distance as you have been given writing might

Your desire and will is what will make your writing last.

Have your determination high
Put efforts to the test in try
When the going gets tough don’t cry
Don’t question yourself with your own why
Achievement requires being destine
Assurance in being confident
Illusions are not a final conclusion
Discouragement from individuals should make you stronger
It’s perseverance and endurance that helps you achieve longer
The vision is to see the light
Overcoming boundaries not making you uptight
A theory in sustaining plights
An upbeat flow that will certainly take flight
Let your inner positive thoughts be like a soaring bird
Let your voice illustrate inspiring words
Stand up being the test in having a reason to be heard
Words being a leader, but having a strategy
Involvement presenting plenty of activity
Illustrate sentences say look up
The key is not to get fed up
Thinking positive with a plan to be on the move
Concentrate with every bouncing step of a positive soothe
You have everything to prove
A mountain has stepped in your way, but climb a waits so don’t hesitate, but be determined every day.

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 gun was found in an innocent hand
Everyone thought a woman was the victim being the caravan
A Dead man laid on the floor
An investigation will determine for sure
However, when the incident happened, someone yelled out with a shout
All someone saw was a woman standing over a dead body that everyone was talking about
But it was swiftly the killer got away
Now an investigation by the Police that will have to figure out
For the moment an innocent standby holding a gun
The spotlight is totally on one who was among
A court case for sure to conduct
In front of the Judge and Jury to get details worked out
All the clues in evidence
Witnesses one by one in their accord to speak
But one false witness whose story will sound weak
It’s order in the court
All accords in case in sort
After the Jury will discuss behind closed doors
Careful listening of statements in explore
Verdict will take place with final analysis
The outcome could be long
Someone is going to jail where they belong
Who was the killer and for what reason?

Efforts have a movement
Determination must a desire
Understanding comes with Education
Knowledge comes with teachings
Inspiration comes from within
All these above state the possibilities in accomplish
But one must truly establish
One must know how to succeed in getting to proceed
The first thing, one must not listen to negativity unless it’s constructive
Later set goals for yourself and not what goals other people want you to have
The term you will never amount to anything, delete and toss out of your mind
Instead add I will, I can, I shall
Everyone has abilities, but you have been labelled like a food can
Labels are only words and they need not to be heard
You have that creativity, but you must unlock in order to be proven
The honor is with you
This is something you must think on in order to pursue
No one is going to give you anything
However, if you make the necessary efforts, the rewards can become endless
The purpose is to prove to your self
Don’t be a follower like everybody else
You are the voice of reason
Don’t live your life within a forbidden treason
But live your life having a reason
You will excel
But negativity doesn’t want to tell
Inspiration being your own accord
What you will establish will be your applause
Many people in your life don’t want you to succeed
But turn my thoughts into your success creed
Let my words be like a motivation feed
Success waits
Don’t sit back and hesitate
Fate is an uplifting slate
Be motivated before it’s too late.

Every time I see an episode of Mission Impossible one wondered the task to perform
In any case different from the norm
Martin Landau was the possibilities of Mission Impossible
The objective was always to succeed
Yet the theory in never get caught nor reveal sources
The Mission Impossible team  were the forces
But Heaven added Martin landau to their team
The mission forever being everlasting
The impossible being a definite possible
Mission Impossible TV show was the overcoming and sustaining
However, Mr. Landau was called to the Lord’s side
He is in Heaven being a preside
The Lord’s command having another Soul in demand
A task Mr. Landau couldn’t refuse
Yet a task well taken
Mission Impossible Landau is among
His Soul has risen up beyond
Yet his voice of praise is yonder
Some might seem to wonder
One’s soul has a place
We will all see Mr. Landau one day face to face
The Lord saw Mr. landau achieved in his life
The Lord’s advice is like sugar and spice
Walk around Heaven Mr. Landau
You made it in
Now it will be Heaven’s everlasting to begin.

IF YOU WALK WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO, AND OTHERS STATE, THE

WALK IS REALLY NOT FAR, THEN DISCOVER FOR YOURSELF, AND

LISTEN TO ANYBODY ELSE. WALK WITH WHAT YOU KNOW THEN

USE THAT AND JUST GO.

Turn up the heat
Let our two hearts come together and compete
Our ***** in a deep treat
The emotions are in control
A feeling like cruising on a boat on the ocean
Our bodies being our island
We are remote and don’t want to be disturbed
We are alone at last
Moments have turned into seconds
Our love to Reagan with
We don’t need any *** toys
We have been created and apply all the joys
We have been caged long enough
Our love is not someone else’s bluff
Love does conquer all
There will be times that Love will cause one to fall
But get up and stand tall
The idea is to confront love
It’s everything you can think of
Our love has us soaring through the skies
However, it’s understanding that has made us wise
We are flying Doves
But remove the D in Dove and we are back to Love
Flying Love being in one
Romance together has taken us far
Yesterday’s love was only a start, but tomorrow, it will be love eternal captivating through the endless tunnel.

A Journalist and Author gone
It’s Gwen Ifill America mourns
Politics being her mount
Heaven has given her prize
We as the living must realize
Knowledge and Understanding being Ms. Ifill’s perfection
This was her analysis being the intersection
PBS Washington Week being the indication
Ms. Ifill was Politics front and center
Come along and become part in enter
Straight to the core
Discussion for sure
A round table of Reporters analyzing in explore
Washington’s questions and answers no one wanted to ignore
The half hour to the end
Ms. Ifill starting from when
In between Ms. Ifill being an Author in writing a book
Yet Washington often took a look
Ms. Ifill always inspired me
The Capitol has dimmed their lights
Ms. Ifill has given up the fight
Yet I see loss written in flying kites
Tomorrow arriving ahead of schedule
But yesterday more than a memory
The flags all wave until we meet again
Ms. Ifill says, “My time has come”
But don’t feel lonesome
I have been lifted up
The Lord carried me to my new home
It’s a place that all will roam
But I won’t say goodbye, I have given my eternal life a try
But don’t you cry
Until we meet again.

Her two Fathers who were mighty
What’s in the Thor name don’t take lightly
It was the strength of the God of Thunder
But there is a new Wonder
He had a daughter, Thor Athena, God of Creation
Just like her Father, she stands for Justice for civilization
She swings her hammer proving supreme
When it comes to Justice, Thor Athena shows Evil mean
Her own brother is jealous being Thor Athena is the Queens, and all civilization bows down to her
Well her brother Loki will never accept
Loki has his own concept
Rule over good and make bad
That sounds so sad
But on Asgard, it becomes a moment of uncertainty
Even though Loki with full of greed
Thor Athena will always be able to proceed
She has her Grandfather and Father guiding her deed.

What do Vintage and Antique have in common?
Here’s a clue, a Hound Bus with a yesteryear start
So the clue wasn’t any help you say
It’s the Greyhound Mack Bus 1931
The Front could be considered something from the Ford Model-T
So since the secret is out, and you now know what I am talking about
There were many variations of the 1931 Mack, but some with my liking is the Camel Hair seat and even a little Seat in the middle of the aisle for a little Tot

But Dazzle in the sleek Navy Blue and White
The 1931 Mack is quite a sight
It has a unique look
Imagine Mr. MAGOO calling the Hound Bus Mack 1931 a road hog
But the Mack’s response would be “My Headlights flashing in stating never forget as it is a Vintage in the Greyhound Fleet”
Now that is really neat
But I have seen the 1931 Mack Hound Bus up close and personal
It was 2014 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey celebrating Greyhound’s 100th Anniversary and the 1931 Mack was exactly the way it was always pictured
But wait, there’s more
I have a Toy Model of the Mack 1931 Bus Burlington Trailways in my Personal Bus Collection, and it is made out of Plywood and the Greyhound 1931  Dieast
Well time really moved fast, and our journey did last
As a Buddy to Buddy would say, “So long Mack”.

Planning and with strategy in destruction taking a minute
The Terrorist using commercial plans
The two Former World Trade Centers that longer remain
Devastation in truth
Evidence being the proof
At least I still have my house with a roof
So many lives loss on that day
But there is much more I want to say
I went on a interview a week before 9/11 at Marsh & McLennan, Inc.
I would have worked on the 96th Floor in Former World Trade Center One
But I wasn’t the hired applicant among

Each and every given day I pray and look upon
Imagine, my name could have been added to the memorial among
My name could have been read year after as ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE
However, I am appreciative that I yet can preserver
Life is what matters most
No I am not trying to boast
Heaven just wasn’t ready for me
The world witnessed the death of others and they could see
Once again that could have been me
I witnessed the other commercial plan strike Tower Two
It was more lives again

But deep down I must hold my head up and stick my chest out
Move forward and live now that’s what I am talking about
Can’t let Terrorist to ever make me afraid
This is not how I was created, but what inspiration Heaven made
This is a time to live
Remember, reflect and give
America has triumphed since then
Time told us to move forward and strive on but always be strong
Embrace still while others feel they don’t belong
Destruction hasn’t broken the chain
It is solid and strong and will continue to remain
Trust but be alert
Observe but always be prepared
Stay on track but only reflect
Life is about living but no gamble
9/11 instilled my courage
Fight only when the time is right
We are all New Yorkers, and our hands clasped being tight
Truly we did move on
Striving new Towers being from tomorrow with a continuous every day
What else can I say?
Weak before but strong now
Let us show the terrorist that fear is no longer within, but strength in numbers in knowing we can defeat, and can’t be beat.

Miracles, Spiritual and Blessings
What do they have in common?
Simply speaking, encouragement with a talk with the Lord in overcoming a Health battle
Heaven holds the key
It’s the amazement for all to see
Health issues Doctors really don’t understand
A call to jesus is in demand
A dial up being prayer
Now let’s continue on from here
Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with Brain Cancer
Father in Heaven look on Senator John McCain
He needs a healing, but if it is your will
Doctors can on rely on a medicine pill
But Jesus you are truly the one that can fulfill
Please heal Senator McCain from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet
Encourage his family to look up
Lord, you are in control and for the family to not get fed up
I am a witness to what you can do
I had health issues at birth
Yet Doctors finalized that I would be leaving this Earth
Death and nothing but Death on the Doctor’s lips
But the Lord had other plans and living being an extended life
The Doctors said I will only live to the age of 7
Witness God’s miracle for all and Senator McCain, I am 60 years old and still living under Heaven’s breathing oxygen
Senator McCain never lose sight
This is only a temporary spite
Healing power coming from above
Blessings that come down below
Senator McCain, please take it slow
Of course be careful and patient as you go
Lord, give Senator McCain my praying hand
Let it reach him like a caravan
This I pray
Connection my relay
Amen on this day.
