THE AUTHOR’S MIND
preservationman Aug 2021
I feel a story coming on
The Characters are carefully placed where they belong
Words are the narrations
Dialog with no intimacy
Letters formulated from the Alphabet
A time with hours to write
Alone in thought
Inspiration of sought
As the words opened up
A theory appeared
It was romance being only a test
But there was an interruption throughout
War took place
It wasn’t a warrior war
It was a war of two hearts
Together was separate
The words behind were the illustrate
The storm of two minds
Don’t speak
Retreat
Emotions had no thoughts
It was a stand alone tormented
Leave me
The sunset had settled down
Now no one can be found
Path’s go down different roads
This wasn’t something that was told
This is what soul took hold
We were only a yesterday
But now I know my tomorrow
Sorrow less
This is a confess
Love was only a moment
Days that formed live
This is the only objective
Good-bye

WONDEROUS FROM HEAVEN
preservationman Feb 2022
Lord, I often worry
Remember, I am the glory
You sit in the kingdom
You enriched me in wisdom
Your spirit will always sustain
My Faithfulness will always remain
When struggles become more than you can bare
I am Lord who is fair
But it is my compassion in care
Always pray
I am the connection in relay
Even when the Devil wants to attack
Behold I am the fence of protection that holds back
It becomes the Devil Set Back
My soulful hands got you covered
Don’t worry
You have a testimony being your story
You are home in salvation
Welcome to my revelation
You were loss in darkness
I pulled from the wilderness
You have seen storms throughout your life
From Heaven to Earth, I gave advice
You are now my sheep
I am your God to keep
I will guide and direct
You are my image which will be given power and effect
You are my process
But don’t recess
Stand and Walk
Continue our daily talk
Your questions will always be answered
Closer even now
You captured my Soul, Heart and Spirit
My praises in merit
Understanding indeed
You help me daily to process
I will witness to those in need
Yet, I will endure your creed
preservationman Aug 2022
I remember living in a Log Cabin nestled among the Forest and Mountains
It wasn’t the North nor West
It wasn’t even the East
It was the deep south
Grandma would be singing spiritual songs and praying throughout the cabin day and night
Confusion and not understandable for a young boy being raised in the middle of nowhere
Grandma would always say, “God is able, and always follow his spirit that sheds light being your guide where he wants you to be”
Questions after questions
Grandma would often offer suggestions being encouragement
She always told of her Folk tail about her past life
As I listened, I felt it was like advice
Son, I was a slave from way back
I was beaten until I almost had no flesh
I didn’t let that stop me from thinking Freedom, but I knew it would be the Lord’s wisdom showing me understanding
Grandma prayed Morning, Noon and Night
All that while she was going through her plight
One day, Grandma woke up at 2:00 am determined to be free
She gathered the other slaves and she told them come and follow me
God will show us the way
By the time the sun had risen high, the plantation owners would be searching for what they thought was theirs
In the aftermath, the slaves were never found because they became free
Their new life was fulfilled being God’s will
Wisdom spoke
Son, “Never wonder, but always seek”
Be strong, but never weak
Always be hungry to defeat
Turn wrong into doing right
Have courage and never fright
Grandma has seen and conquered
My years have caught up
My eyes see glory
Soon I will depart for my Heavenly home
It’s where my Soul will roam
Earth is not my restful place
It’s my everlasting being the trace
Heaven United
That is where you will find me
I will be waiting every day at the Pearly Gates
Don’t be late
Heaven’s sake
Wisdom only knows
But now you know
My tomorrow is now
Grandma eyes closed
Grandma lover
The Dove is now flying above.

Holy within the Roof
Heaven is the proof
Blessed is we
A house for all to see
A house prayed up to see beyond darkness

All through the house

It is how my house is enriched with might
A house doesn’t stand unless solid
Faith can’t be sustained without prayer
Welcome to my house lair
My house is an example of true Faith
It is surrounded by biblical words saith
A house of everlasting
Blessing remaining
House of lighted praise

SOLIDER WAR CRY
preservationman Feb 2024
A Veteran’s story
Past life in the military
The Army
Dreams tormenting thinking at night of ammunition
Orders of precision
Standing at attention in position
Military duties straight on the battlefield
War is real
Cries of Soldiers that died in the frontline
All I saw was ashes of war
Devastation of destruction
Dreams turning into awakening nightmares
The thought being the Soldier made it through
It wasn’t an easy task
War was long and uncertain
Time became an overcast
Smoke from war like a darkness endless
Sleep was twist and turn
Out in the hot sun felt like a burning urn
Soldiers everywhere lived through that
Cries continue as if still on the battlefield
Order circumstance
One’s life given another chance
Remembrance of war
Wounds and scars will always carry
Awaken
Soldiers always remember
Even during slumber
Cries forever
The battlefield on my mind
Soldier salute out.

I ROBOT
preservationman Apr 2020
I am at your command
You control me being in demand
I am electronics
I am programmed beyond phonetics
Like I said, my data is electronics
I am not human, but I am among
I am advanced and think young
I move in robotic ways
I am the future of tomorrow today
I might be considered ahead of my time
But I have all the mechanics combined
Efficiency is why I was created
Some people feel frightened and that’s why I am hated
Productivity being faster
The rest will be history ever after.

AMEN CHURCH
preservationman Apr 2023
Every church has an Amen Corner
But sometimes not exactly in that order
The church building is perfect, but people are not
It was a sermon preached by a Pastor that got attention
It’s something that must be mentioned
The Theme, “If God said it, it’s definitely a Promise”
As the Pastor was preaching, it was Amen here and Amen all over the church
The. Congregation could feel the anointing throughout
The spirit was moving
That is who the Lord is all about
The theme itself has power
It doesn’t matter the hour
Scriptures are never undone
One must participate being among
Shout in rejoice
Praise with an uplifting voice
Holy biblical songs only set the praising stage
One must observe in the Lord’s amaze
Believing in receiving
Behold and watch the Lord work
The word has been spoken
Can I get an Amen church?

Darkness bind
Surroundings that are unkind
A storm to disturb
But there is nothing to observe
The thought of courage, but doubting hope
Shadows all centered through the mind
Everything concealed
Yet nothing is revealed
Connections are for real
All I can do is maneuver and feel
It’s a wonder
But one can only wander
Images with no substance
Darkness controlled in full instance
Trapped shade
No light being made
The darkness causes me to be still
My nervousness being my will
Yes shadows that has taken over
Darkness mode the discover

Virus that are taking lives
Being a Respondent takes responsibility in what they provide
Bringing help in hope right away
No days off being a getaway
This virus is no ordinary day
It’s about saving lives
But sometimes it is not quick enough
We are not making excuses and a bluff
As a Respondent, we take all our jobs serious
There can be stress but we don’t get furious
Sometimes tired and weary
At other times of patient death, we get teary
But it is a daily mission to pull through
We continue on
As a Healthcare, Policeman and Firemen professional knowing we are needed and belong
We keep our mind and body strong
It’s a mission that has lasted so long
But responsibility is whom we are about
Sustaining life is on the line
Because we could be patients ourselves
The Coronavirus doesn’t look for a name
But it’s the cure being the aim
We won’t stop until our job is complete
A sunrise with a hopeful tomorrow now wouldn’t that be neat
We are definitely overworked, but there is a job to do
Each day is a challenge we go through
We stay focused no matter what
Thank you with your heartfelt applause
But as a Respondent, it is about the cause
Coronavirus time frame to move out
It’s the vaccine I am talking about
It’s a matter of when
Moving outdoors when can
Then with continued hope, this Coronavirus can finally end.

WESTWARD HO
preservationman May 2020
A Freighter Steamship on the bounty
Cruising over the waves attempting to reach a city
Suddenly, a violet storm came up being a pity
It was waves up and down
There wasn’t any Lighthouse to be found
The Captain made a shout
“Maneuver the ship and hold the cargo steady”
But during the storm was the crew ready?
There was a loud shout by a Crew Member
The ship was sinking
But what were the Captain, and crew thinking?
They were organizing the Life Boats
Yet the storm seem to grow worse
The ship was out of control and could be reversed
Later, the ship started to break up
The ship was sinking ever so far
Waves upon waves were certainly vast
Soon the ship sank to the bottom
Later, no one saw or heard from the crew ever again
Pieces of the ship called “Wreck Town” appeared on different parts of the shore
Coast Guards tried to explore
But the crew and ship was no more.

Daylight causing the shadow to accelerate
Speed Control
Destination for arrival
When night falls
Shadow cruising within the darkness
Through the countryside in the wilderness
Headlights focus
The sight of the Greyhound bus
At times, headlights flash
Travelling dash
Trained leader at the controls
The Bus Commander behold
The hound dog in determination
Look at me as we pass by
Observe my dust
Travelled miles
Greyhound Bus Style
Notice the passenger’s wave
Town Folks thinking those passengers are brave
Behave
The moving shadow with secrets of its own
The highways will never be told
The moving shadow always knew
It’s destiny to pursue
The Leader progressing to finale
Getting to the terminal maneuvering through an alley
The Moving Shadow says thanks for joining in the ride
So long in the shadow’s stride.

Circumstance involving a Husband and Wife
The Husband making a decision, and not thinking twice
He didn’t even ask for advice
The Husband told his Wife he was going to get some cigarettes and he would be right back
Now continue with me and follow the story track
His footsteps headed for a Greyhound Terminal in his town
It was going to be a One Way Ticket Los Angeles bound
The Husband actually boarded my bus which originated in New York City with destination for Los Angeles, CA
The Husband told us passengers that he left his wife
Well that didn’t sound nice
He had been on the road for two days
However, Los Angeles is where the Husband will stay
Now I don’t know the whole story between the Husband and Wife
But then again, everything is not always Sugar and Spice
But the Husband was determined to travel on
He felt a wife separation is where he belongs
Destination a quick getaway
It was decided right in that second
The Wife didn’t even suspect
Her Husband used Greyhound for the effect.

Preparation in helping you become your own Man or Woman
Shared personal life experiences
Helping you to not get stuck in life’s pitfalls

Enforcing values with maturity
Learned importance of one’s character and well being
Educated to continue being educated
Substitute nothing surrounding excuses, but venture with achievement of fulfillment
Don’t listen to false hopes, but expand your dreams
Can’t is not an option unless proven in efforts
Explore your own horizon of success
Keep your mind open with understanding

SURPRISE AT THE DOOR

A Mother’s wish in having hope
She is Catholic and relishes the Pope
A Mother’s son is based in the U.S. Army overseas
She would feel better if her Son was at home
The Mother feels so alone
Her Husband passed several years ago
But for years she would let go
The Mother often writes letters too her Son
She would feel better if she could talk face to face and he was among
The Mother prays asking God to protect her Son and keep him alive
But you should be feeling a Mother’s vibe
Now the Mother often makes a wish
Then throws in the air a kiss
Be careful what you wish for as it might come true
But there is nothing here to pursue
Suddenly there was a knock at the door
But the Mother didn’t seem sure
Could it be bad news that her Son had died?
How would she take the news?
Are you sure you want to answer the door?
Could it really be a surprise?
As the Mother opened the door, Sargent John Harrison, the Mother’s Son was behind the door
Her heart was full of joy extending into galore
Embraces upon embraces full of happiness
Captivated in life being her own witness
There were tears of joy both ends
But a salute in honor
A Mother’s love illustrating Welcome Home Son
Total admiration among

Welcome aboard and buckle up
Prepare for takeoff
Let me introduce myself, I am the Pilot of words
On this flight, you will learn about this flying bus
The company is well known and you will be surprised
Now it is time for me to emphasize
You heard of flying cars that turn into a plane
That’s the future, and moving forward will remain
But my story is about a flying bus
Yes, it surrounds the Greyhound bus
Imagine a stretched hound being the trademark on an actual plane
It is a known fact, but let me take you back
It was in 1996, the Greyhound Air started its Canadian Flight
Passengers left from the various Canadian Airports
Greyhound had taken to the friendly skies that became an enterprise
The Parent Company was Greyhound Canada
However, the airlines business was short lived, and ceased operations in 1997
If someone says when dogs learn to fly
Just emphasize, the Greyhound dog did it in a big way as it had wings, and took to the air
Don’t be surprised with strange responses that you might get
Maybe even wager with them in a bet
I am a witness that Greyhound did fly
It was an illusion
You can draw your own conclusion
The air was the Greyhound way
That’s the story told today
Enjoy your flight in every way.

ROLL ‘EM
preservationman Jul 2021
Love doesn’t come home anymore
Our love used to be surrender at every core
We don’t talk nor look at each other
What went wrong in our relationship?
Our vows were understanding and trust
Our love doesn’t even feature must
Even that’s a question
I even offered some suggestions
You acted as if it was digestion
Still our relationship is on a pause
What is the cause?
What would it take to bring that passion back?
Our love for each other had an impact
I cry day and night for our love to return
Yet my heart feels like a burning urn
I am truthful and need you to be the same
The focus should not be on blame in shame
Our hearts must be on target on aim
The love I believe is still there
It comes at an instance
But we can’t live together on resistance
We must be persistence
We are not on an endless country back road
Take my hand and let me prove our threshold
Stars in the sky Twinkle, as we need to understand
As Man and Wife, we are both in demand
Love we now or never
I don’t want to think ever
Open up or be a closed within seal
I want our love to flourish again on real
I pray we can fulfill
But you have the will
I love you still
Let love be our intensity in thrill

It was the “Dazzling Blue Disco Club”
An Old Man 70 wearing a White Suit and Wig
You Dig
Clear the Dance Floor
The Old Man even had on Platform Shoes
Now he must decide on his dance partner to choose
Women will determine if they want to refuse
The Old Man considers himself a “Dancing Prancher”
But sounds more like a Rancher
Now the Old Man is dancing all over the Dance Floor
I think he needs to be committed for sure
Imagine an 70 Year Old man dancing under a crystalized Disco dazzling Ball with a young women in the music beats
That Old Man must have some aching feet
This would be a good time for him to give into defeat
The Old Man claims the music were songs being his jam
The Dancing partner lady was named Pam
The Disco beat goes on
I don’t know how the Old Man can dance so long
The dance floor he doesn’t belong
But now the Old Man is on the Dance Line
I think the Disco Club is just being kind
Anyway, this concludes the Dance Off
Disco thereof

ENCHANTED THEREAFTER
preservationman Apr 2021
Walls that separate
It’s love ready to create
Ever after a wait
Yet romance is spreading throughout the land
I am captivated at your command
Smells so sweet
The essence of a Bird tweet
The visualization of Roses in a moving heart
My soul thirst
Fulfilling my Quench
The moment is accelerating
The Moon has pushed the sun from light into dark
We are finally among
The thought of night
The candlelight that adds to the delight
Feed me until I am full
At your will
This is our story tale
Enchanted without fail
The kiss makes our love complete
Come closer, your kiss was unique
Love whispered silently in my ear
But that is every time you are near
You are mystique
Our Souls are bonded
Enchanted beyond any fable
The bull’s eye hit able
preservationman Oct 2022
What would the applause be without inspiration?
What would entertainment be without creation?
The rush of excitement
The practice makes perfect phase
The mind forming wonders of ideas becoming amaze
Stamina and Energy
Determination in being the best
The smell of achievement
The effort of commitment
Essence being excellent
Impact unknowingly until the given try
Disappointments a learning experience
Keep the inspiration high
Trial and Error theory
What one puts in their own mystery
What you will find out being your own history
In time and the right moment
Echoes upon echoes of applause you worked so hard for
Establishment and connection complete
Wisdom
Conquering overflowing waters
Compromising through the differences
Climbing the highest mountain
Believing from within
Reach
Excel
Beating the odds
Applause from outward
It is just for you
Bow and show your appreciation
You are approved
preservationman May 2022
A world I thought I knew
But I don’t know
I can’t even describe go
Thoughts and values have changed
This goes beyond the Pandemic as it goes into life of rearranged
People won’t even say Hello
Respect is no longer led
There is hate to the score
Earth is wounded with a sore
It’s wounds that will never heal
This is how the world makes people feel
Death is for real
There is no reason to conceal
Extended hand of friendship is pulled back
Guns upon Guns making track
It’s a known fact
Nationalities fighting each other and for what?
Love has no meaning anymore
It doesn’t matter if it is land or shore
I don’t understand anymore

Humble is a stumble
A world of hate they will accept
Inner emotions what comes out
Look into the mirror and find who you are
You are not Czar
There is no connection between Man and Women
The world seems to think they are the answer
But they are nothing more than the prancer
A world that once prayed
What happened to the Faith being the relay?
It seems several wrong turns leads into uncertain situations
Where’s the joy in one’s eye?
Why can’t we see I to I?
A world that loss hope and cope
The emphasize is surrounded by dope
My heart cries
An uncertain world is why
World, loss your way, but that is not ok
Whatever happened to being guided by Faith?
How do we encourage one another when there is so much rage?
It doesn’t matter the age
Some young people don’t even respect grown adults
What a World

Tomorrow is drifting into the horizon
The Sun has turned black with no image
Waters flowing like blood
Killings and murders on the World’s lips
Stock Ups and Down in dips
World, you need to change your emotions
It must be like a calm ocean

Have you forgotten?
You were created by a Heavenly being and Dr. Martin Luther King brought us together to connect
But it seems time passed and there’s no effect
Time is accelerating among human race
We are in a race among ourselves
The struggles and battles are real
Observe the changing skies
Your tomorrow is what you must realize
How much time do we really have on Earth?
A moment could be any minute or ready or not
It’s not a plot
World, you have crossed into Danger Zones
You are losing sight
You are living in dimmed light
What happened what to the smiles and laughter of joy?
You rather corrupt
Moments are passing by
You understand being your own understanding
What a world with a questionable future.

BLESSED IT AWAITS
preservationman Mar 2021
You used to pray to me
I am the one that nobody can see
But I am referred too as Thee
I am very concerned for the world
I make blessings happened, and uplift spirits in swirl
I control the Earth
I enrich in new birth
Now I died on the cross
It was prophecy being the force
It sins focused on the course
You need to sustain in praying
This is my request in relating
I am the tomorrow
I assure hope
My guidance is what helps you cope
You didn’t do it alone
My name is powerful and full blown
Scriptures say I am well known
Every day is a blessing shown
Now don’t forget to pray
It means daily every day
Can’t means you won’t
My mercy is compassion
I am the Holy One
You live because I keep you among
So haven’t heard
I speak from Heaven in a wait
This is the day in not hesitate
I am Thee who illustrates
Your Soul is what appreciates
I am the rock that needs you to participate
Do it before it is too late

INTRUDER MONOPOLY
preservationman Mar 2021
You are a stranger
Your mind focuses on attack
I am on caution, and I am stepping back
It goes beyond fact
You are about stalk
There’s no reason I should talk
There are boundaries
You are simply a mystery
You are a possible threat
You are a person that the world dreads
You want to invade the atmosphere
This is called fear
No one wants you near
You are a person that doesn’t compare
It’s your preserver
You have a mission
Your motive is precision
So let me stay away
Intruders I always stay astray
I will not become one of your victims on any day
preservationman Oct 2022
Words you know my desire
I don’t feel the fire
Words you know
Please catch my flow
I just don’t have the go
I am stuck on pause
Writer’s block cause
Need to express
That’s confess
Alphabets say it best
Inspire me now
Embrace the how
Energize me like a rushing breeze
Let me be at ease
No pretend
Let’s begin
Let my mind transcend and take everything in
preservationman Jul 2020
I remember words from Maya Angelou and James Baldwin
Their words of destination and their own words being prevalent
Silent are the lips, but loud are the words
Inspiration and Accomplishment leading the way
Storms come to wake up the mind
Go out and seek your destiny
Don’t be afraid, but be galvanized
Heaven sees and provides
My eyes tear
But not for sadness
Yet the uplifting of possibilities
While many have said can’t
I have will
We are on a schedule of time
It’s the moment saying, be on time
Move with grace
The Mountain is high, but can I climb?
It’s endurance with assurance
Climb
Destined to reach the top
Only stop for a moment being a brief pause
Your mission has a cause
It is becoming harder harder and harder to climb
My mind says, keep going as you are doing just fine
I was told I never make it
But a voice says be determined to climb
I reached the top and saw Certainty fulfillment Bridge in the distance
I knew I was meant and prepared for the journey
I did it poor with no money
But accomplished I did
I am proud having no hid
Climbing in knowing I shall climb
I fulfilled the request
My assurance grew stronger
Chance at every advance
No one knew, but Heaven saw
Strength in spirit, and doubt quietly declined
Heaven in heart, my soul within
Worthy Worthy Worthy, thou are with me
I conquered beyond my own expectations
Now it is praise to the Heavens
Glory in Faith at every length

ONCE UPON A LIFT
preservationman Apr 2023
Received a sat of exercise weights
It was given to me as a gift
The suggestion was exercise, catch my drift
I decided to make good use of the weights
It was lift and breathe
Intensify and feel the exercise
I began to get strong
My body began to show transformation
Exercise books gave me all kinds of information
The old me started becoming the new me
Mirrors don’t lie as I saw progress
Currently on pause for a short recess
Enough being still
Mind over matter at will
Body chemistry in change
Total body experience in rearrange
A gift well received
Weighty thought
Exercise being the key
Imagine the transformation that one sees
It makes the efforts worthwhile in results the way it should be

BEFORE IMPACT
preservationman Apr 2023
Save yourself
A world that could end today
Are you ready?
The skies around Earth collaborating together
The signs of approaching eternity
Heaven and Earth daily meetings
Tomorrow could very well become the moment
Minutes, hours and seconds counting
Echoes from the mount
Reminders
Revelation and Elevation
Impact on target
Be prepared and ready
The weight like Atlas on all shoulders
Heavy load
Impact
