THAT WALK
preservationman Jun 2021
Step into life
Open your mind to advice
Explore what you have been thinking
Let your ideas flow
Let the outdoors put you in the know
Walk the path to energize
Let your thoughts help you realize
Understand a lesson coming from the skies
Let your voice emphasize
Embrace
Feel inspired
Walk into believing
Thinking on excelling
Turn a wish in being assured
But remember wisdom that comes from the Lord
Clouds add the analyze
Again, I must emphasize
Doubt can come through a Thunderstorm
But don’t be alarmed
Knowledge comes from above
Life involvement to think of
Wisdom will come
Walk into but don’t succumb
Let the joy of living always being within
Turn your when into then
Act on can
Blow your doubts into the wind
Just let your thoughts to descend
That is because its you that says when

HOUNDMAN COMETH

I wear it well
The world can tell
A name given to me by the Greyhound Bus Company
I am the arrive with no depart
The Greyhound eyes
Because I am wise
I am Greyhound’s energized
The thought of lead
My words in how I proceed
The eyes of Customer Service
Travelling bus passengers made that obvious
But Houndman Cometh goes even further than that
There’s a following and it’s hard to keep track
My passion for Greyhound goes way back
It started when I was a tot and moved up into today
Greyhound is relished into my heart in every way
I have toy scale Greyhound, and many other bus models on display
It’s the Houndman Cometh relay
Arrive with a never to depart
Now you know where that name got its start
This is where I will depart.

Nylon twist
A story no one would want to miss
A male named Vanessa
A Ship Captain at that
By day maneuvering a steamship in ship uniform
By night, a transformation
A Captain who wears Nylon and steps out in high platform heels, and dances to the sounds of music of Donna Summer
Mysterious beyond anyone’s wonder
A ship having no dip
An unbelievable tip
One doesn’t know who is actually steering a ship or aboard
Two sides of conceal and transform
Nylon win
No pretend

MEMENTUM ARISE
preservationman May 2020
What do you think if you are not aware?
If you are human, how can you be square?
Understanding is only adjustment
I will give you a moment to think on that
It’s analyzing all the concepts and theories
Ironing out all the mysteries
Where there is hope, one will find
When you are genuine, you will also become kind
Look into the mirror, and you will see yourself in the reflection looking back
But there is a revolving track
The moral is to know
Knowledge becomes the learning into show
What inner talent you generate should be something that you yourself will appreciate
It’s value
Monetary not in worth, but ability in creation
Life is perish and should not be taken for granted
Achieving is the first step in excel
Motivation is your moving pace
Think on it like a competition race
But that is your own trace
Keep up but don’t fall behind
Be truthful but be genuine
The best suggestion comes from your voice
It’s not always from another source at choice
So make your own inspiring voice note like a musical orchestra
Eye on confidence like an enterprising pitch
Warmth with assurance and not fitch
So you have to say being the one that controls
Open up and take whole
Hands of wisdom
Gone on to God’s Kingdom
Guidance in understanding
Knowing and sustaining
Heaven on high
The watch from Thy
Encouragement that was broad
My heart being assured
Grandma’s years of living experience
Her impact and influence
Strength endurance
Grandma wise
Seeing I to I
Times of Discipline

Youthful years sometimes resent
As an Adult, I understand
Her song her own, “Afterwhile”
I am enriched to stand and withstand
Her praying hands feature
My Grandmother was some teacher
Grandson don’t worry
I her whispers in live and enjoy
I learned well
Understanding myself and purpose
My footsteps have journeyed miles
My reflections while

Keeping track
Living my best in Grandma’s wisdom
Preparation test fulfilled

INSTILLED TEARS
preservationman Mar 2021
Still and motionless
Tears are silent within the soul
Alone in sorrow
Tomorrow with no morrow
Fear surrounds me
My heart pounds like a violent storm
It’s the battles of woes fighting struggles
Trapped and no way out
Troubled with a pause
But there is a cause
Tears are on freeze
No feeling at ease
The wonder has no thought
The spirit stuck on doubt
Still being for how long?
Motionless inspiration
Yet having no aspiration
I am the center of my own situation
Death focuses my mind
Suicide is the offset of combine
But a voice says wait
It extends into it’s not too late
No, this isn’t your fate
You must hesitate
My tears rolled back
It automatically became fact
Live until you reach everlasting
Embrace
No end
It is a reason to live more abundantly

How would I be remembered?
I hope words of truth and not assumptions
How my words inspired you
Don’t give up but fulfill
My years of writing in being who I am and was
My involvement of buses
Lifelong dream remained a reality
My connection always to the Almighty
Every smile through pain
My every detour was assurance in getting to my destiny faster
Positive thoughts through my encouraging speeches
It doesn’t matter the person
Inspiring others
Standing strong on Faith through and through

When time gets tough, just challenge time in knowing you can win
Make it worthwhile and proven
Let the big E be big in your efforts
Stand proud on what you have accomplished and established
If friends and family walk away, stand alone and hold up your head high with dignity
Appreciate who you are
The mirror sees the outer body, but it is the inner self that counts
Become unstoppable being determined in life
No one can break down destined, but expect a try
You will have your moments in a cry
Take a quick pause and think on you have no time to cry, but have every reason to maneuver
Preparation is the key
Take it from me
Your days will mount to many tomorrow’s
Always reach and always expect more
This is now I want to be remembered

It’s not about the open road
It’s being a bus collector episode
It’s my bus passion being told
My bus collection displays all types
Some are International made
They come in all forms and shapes color shades
This has been my passion as a Little Tot
Honest and true, I would sign a document on the Dot
My buses light up
While some move about
My bus collection is extensive
Yes, some of my buses were expensive
Yet appreciative in every way

Around seemingly into a maze
Perhaps thirst for wonder, but the start of a happening amaze
Yet uncertain praise
Behind the open of the unknown being the center, the point of the spotlight
The mind circling and circling trying to find one’s destination
Yet it is nothing more than movement with a puzzled stare
Eye of the needle
Science into equations
Physics with algebraic notions
Welcome to the Poet’s Twilight Zone
Through the pages of life is accelerated with time
It came with me to explore
Walk through the Twilight Zone door
The story is about Mary Joe
She writes Poetry, but circumstances prevents her from completing sentences
So Mary Joe suddenly pauses
She hears sounds of applauses
It is a battle being between writing and emotions
Mary Joe fears are like roaring ocean s with drowning, and never reaching the surface
But Mary Joe is losing it as she is hearing echoes, “No longer in Control
No Longer in Control
The echoes grew ever longer
Pondering becoming wondering
Mary Joe’s mind finally caves in, and being a Poet no more
Any Poet’s own consequence can be disturbing full of doubt
But because of Mary Joe’s lack of assurance caused her in being a Poet totally forgotten
That is the Poet Twilight Zone

I showed you a fake reflection
That was my way being a deceitful election
Words I said had no truth
It all started within my youth
Rage went to anger
It took all of my strength to muster
I went to great lengths
I took you to my other side
Straight out and didn’t bother to hide
You believe in me
I pretended for you too see
I am not everything I should be
I was descended
The Devil played with my mind
I was once kind
Now my personality no one can find
So my soul is in ******* in a bind
I see myself being drunk with satisfying wine
But there is more combined
I am simply wild
But you don’t know my style
All that under your eyes while
I don’t know who I am supposed to be anymore
It’s like a distance between the sea and shore
You probably want to ignore
Think of me not
In my heart it was all a plot
It doesn’t matter if you like it or not
Don’t remember
It was my cleverness within slumber
This is my ever after

The strives for freedom
Voices singing through pain
Cries for hope and dignity
Slaveless thoughts
Beaten night after night
Wounds are the scars that be
Moans sounding like a lonely Wolf
How long do I have to live?
The tears are only mere examples of how I feel
I am a Slave for real
Endure
Sometimes I yell out, but it is my own echoes that echo back
No one knows my distance
I am my own assurance

Walked miles during the hot summer months
Picking cotton while working the fields
The Slave Masters call me “THUNDER” because I am mighty in the fields and the slave with the most endurance
But my heart expels revenge
My rage within
The words formulate, “When one shall, one should”
Those words Thunder lives by
Every given moment and second
Sometimes I go down by the Bayou and just admire my own reflection
But it doesn’t change being a slave that I am
Freedom will one day be my reward
Believe that
I often pray for the Lord’s guidance
He is my existence
The Slave Masters are saying, there will be a bad storm tonight
That will be my opportunity to escape covering territory without be discovered
My journey towards freedom
Leaving the South heading North


I heard stories of New York City
A land of milk and honey fit for slave looking for freedom
Legacy my own to achieve
Freedom at last, I shall receive
No more tears and pain
A new life that will remain
My endless story will be in the history books
It’s just a matter in take a look
Those slavery days
Freedom that will always stay.

Build up determination
Let Faith stride
Inspiration will provide
Let your before thinking into after results
Not an exercise
Only a realize

Assurance straight and narrow within

Just let your goodness settle in
No otherwise
Just energize
Turn No into Yes I did
No forbid

Mobility in responsibility
Quality in you to appreciate
No hesitate
Believing now through everlasting
Always believe to keep

No whisper nor echoes
Only silence being a reflection
Your session
Perhaps a confession
Your soul expelled
But the spirit disappeared
Thoughts went yonder
The heart only wonders
Living voice was full of words and discussions
At times being emotions
Wave after wave being like oceans
You heard once, but no more now
Honor with remember
Voices wanted you to hear
The voices vanished
You didn’t want to listen because of your pride
Silenced your heart
Hardened like a rock
Dependability moved on
Now you are stuck in your code of silence
Wasn’t obedient
No ingredient
Voiceless and useless
You thought of the souls before
Feeling the sore
Code of silence for sure
You can no longer ignore
Code of Silence settling the score.

Death was calling me
I simply had given up
My life no longer had meaning
A perfect day I knew was a sundown with no sunrise
I no longer believed in surprise
I headed for the nearest bridge
I stood firm on that ridge
As I was there, my inner strength had became weak
I felt there was nothing to seek
It was for me to jump
Stepped over and just leaped
A world that I don’t know anymore but was a stranger
Dead is my tomorrow
Please don’t show sorrow
I have no morrow
It’s better this way
I am at where I want to stay
Forget me now.

It didn’t say let every man have a man
Nor did it say let every woman have a woman
Failure on all counts

The world makes excuses to satisfy what they believe
In other words, leading to their own understanding

We are at Heaven’s command
Our image being of the Heavenly Father
We **** at will
But pause and be still
Who gives anyone that right?
The world is in a plight
Darkness with no light

It will only make your problem even more confused

What exactly led you in thinking ***** is the way to work problems out?
Your mind becomes fuzzy and understanding has no about
You are in a Bar drowning your sorrows
Live and face the problem, there is a tomorrow
The idea is to work all struggles out
Are you sleeping at night?
You keep focusing on whatever your plight
When uncertain try to pray
When things are not ok
Pray in guiding in showing you the way
Drinking only separates in causing you to go astray
Just say to yourself, my plight will be solved on this day

I am instilling for you to have full courage
Put understanding
Nourish your soul
Then take hold
Tomorrow is a new day
Embracing is what you should do in every way

But the paper becomes cumbersome
For the most part, the trash being my file
All this thinking took a while
But ideas with all kinds of imaginations
They are all coming about being illustrations
Words that knock at the door of the heart receive no answer
But sentences full of inspiration are welcomed to enter
They are front and center
Yet my life is partly on turmoil
But my feet remain on secrete ground

It was drama giving me too much fear
But I have been directed and knowledge became my understanding

NAVIGATING MY LIFE
preservationman Jul 2021
At first, I was using my own senses
I was getting loss and further out of my way in all the wrong directions
I asked citizens, and I was running into detours
Blinded by darkness
I started using my Directional Finder
But I was still a long way from home
A voice echoed, “Don’t roam come home”
I can direct your path
Suddenly Salvation got closer, and I found my way
All the roads that I had taken was leading me astray
I had been travelling on the wrong roads all my life
I had no idea in how to even reach my destination
A voice had to show me in illustration
In the beginning tomorrow seemed ever so far
I was way off track
It seemed someone was trying to hold me back
Intervention came into play
The voice told the roadblock never on any day
It was salvation I had been searching and needing all my life
The skies opened my mind with advice
I reached home that I was away for so long
Just then, an extended hand took hold of mine and the voice said, “You finally reached home”
I got my spiritual blessing
Seek one will find
Accept will be kind
Believe with everything combined
Navigating was so genuine.

HEY PIANO MAN
preservationman Jun 2023
Yeah you
Play me a melody that’s smooth
My heart needs music that will soothe
My mind in the senses
Sounds embraces
Racing to new heights
Moving on from a plight
It’s a lady friend I remember
We danced being loss in the music
That was once upon time
We dined and drank wine
The environment with the dazzle ball
The scene that was our song
That dance floor was where we belonged
The Piano man hit all the right notes
Those ivories had tempo of their own
There was no need to take a vote
Every dancing step was our jolt
It didn’t matter whether it was uptown or downtown
We were a couple in whatever town
Every note a sound to hear
It made our love so sincere
We kissed being our own sound track
Piano man, take me back to a time that was
I am visualizing in my mind now
A time I will never forget
A loss being my only regret
The music is only a reminder
I was the open lock and she had the key and entered
Heart to heart
My moment in time
Forever yours
All time
Thanks for the memories piano man

PERSONAL COLUMN WRITER
preservationman Mar 2021
So you need some advice
Response will be concise and precise
You say your life has control over you
You need to change the balance in going to go through
Don’t let others give you negative advice
Yet I can’t sugar with a sprinkle of spice
In order to achieve you must also believe
Hope is worth accepting
Trying requires adapting
Change is about rearranging
Thinking positive within your mind
Surround yourself around inspiration
Let knowledge give you that education
Hold your head up
See yourself in the long term
Practice what you seek
Being inspired is what makes you unique
Don’t see your self outdated comparing to an antique
However, essence is essential
You have the power to control
All you have to do is take hold
Let your mind direct you to where you need to be
But be patient, and just watch and see
So that is this personal column writer’s advice
But don’t ever wonder and think twice

FLY AWAY
Let my wings soar where the Heaven’s guide
Show me exploration into new horizons
New Frontier of a new beginning
Let the clouds cleanse within the mist
Destiny mounts
Born to fly
Into the friendly skies
Understanding wholly and wise
Through the storms I shall encounter
There is wonder as I am soaring yonder
Among the high mountains
The valley’s below
The Earth’s landscapes flow
Harmony among
Beauty seen
Yonder felt
Flight Song, “Where the wind blows, I will follow”.

SHOE IN
preservationman Jul 2022
Feet go in and out
Walking pavements moving about
Sometimes shoes fit just right
At other moments feeling tight
Sometimes shoes make feet ache
The thoughts that surround being for Heaven’s Sake
It’s all about comfort and style
Being confident while thinking while
Shoes having the right look
A picture taking session in took
It doesn’t matter if its Casual, Formal or Business
You are the only that can testify being the witness
That is what makes you a Shoe In.

Sunshine with a sundown
Night Stars and a Moon
Highway ride with destination arriving soon
With any luck, it could be before noon
It’s a journey on any highway bus
Relaxing in tranquil are the plus
Scenery beyond the Highway lamps
Writing my adventure and sharing using a stamp
Over the Bridges and seas
One can only imagine about the outside breeze
Also allergy season with a sneeze
Reclining back and ride the highway bus, one can feel at ease

Cars, Trucks and other buses pass us by
We make a sudden Rest Stop but don’t know the reason why?
We the passengers puzzled eye to eye
But it was only for a while and the bus pushes on
I felt previously asleep, but now have awoken from a yond
Hills and Mountains seem to rise
But that really is no surprise
I had to imprecise
Farmlands with Cattle
Towns people all Wave
At one point, I though the wave meant be safe and behave

Scenery seen through the view of the tinted windows making sight close up looking far
You wouldn’t get all that travelling by car
The highway bus
It was travel that involved all of us
Windows tinted and beautiful
Hearts inspired being plentiful
It was that highway of history back, but moving forward with enterprising track.

WOODEN MOVING SCALES
preservationman Sep 2020
So just what are these wooden moving scales
Will tell in a moment without fail
It was a man by the name of Kenn Stoliker
He was involved as a Trailways Motor Coach Driver
It involves the highway and a bus
But there is an added plus
His daily journeys were within Pennsylvania and New York City
It was Mr. Stoliker’s dedication always focused precisely on the steering wheel, and safety for all the passengers on his bus
But here is the added plus
When Mr. Stoliker retired, he was still active in the bus community
He created toy wooden scale buses being his unity
Yet, it was a long lasting hobby becoming a craft
Mr. Stoliker would use tracing paper and cardboard to organize how the bus will look in wood
He would study actual bus drawings to make sure that the toy scale wooden bus will come out like the real original
Design and scratch would be the appropriate terms
The bus industry was still in Mr. Stoliker’s heart because it was a commitment
Picture a man driving a bus as a career then retire and still work with buses
Any bus that people missed the ride, it could be a bus that only Mr. Stoliker’s scale in design could provide
But these would be toy scale wooden models that no one could ride
I have some of Mr. Stoliker’s toy wooden buses craftsmanship in my collection
For me, it is my own preservation
So it was a man with pure dedication
Mr. Stoliker was my presentation
He died a couple of months ago
He is now in everlasting peace
A place of solitude and reward
An honor in praise
A journey well done
In my heart always among
But his last words would probably be, “Welcome aboard and watch your step”
Wooden bus affair
Craftsmanship in Mr. Kenn Stoliker’s designing care
His hobby I wanted to share

IT’S ONLY A DAY
preservationman Apr 2020
Where there is a day comes tomorrow
Sorrow in sadness but extending into glad
Darkness being a moment with light of guidance
Inspiration with lots of influence
Sunset in knowing that the sunrise will over joy of a new day
SA new day with encouragement from yesterday
No matter how depressed you feel
The exploration of this virus keeps being real
The key is not let it trap your thoughts in thinking defeat
The strength comes from God establishes within in feat
But don’t devote completely on the moment, but think on overcoming this virus as a new day
I can only imagine to families that loss members to this virus, and offer comfort from God that you will feel inner peace and solvency
In order to move on, we must remain strong
The only way this virus will go away is “Faith” in prayer
Sustaining in assurance and believing
Continue to visualize “Hope”
This is only a moment for us to adjust our lives
Look to the Great Creator above in asking that this virus goes away
But don’t let your Faith go astray
The expectations will come and we will be ok
It’s not my way, but assurance forthcoming being God’s way.
