Today’s thought
Tomorrow’s venture
Bags packed
Wheels ready to spin
A Greyhound bus open road ready to begin
The journey through state to state
Stopping at towns being no mistake
Four days travel
Freeway wind
Various interstate routes
Distance far
Bus comfort than a car
Recline and relax
America’s acquaintance
Passerby wave
High Mountains up look
Heart of hope
The sense of cope
A friendly hand
Goodness in the land
Major cities after major cities observe
Into the morning, Night and next days
Soon to arrive
Refreshing sights that only the Greyhound Bus can provide
America’s beauty seen through the eyes
The skies being wise
Wonders never seen
Up close and personal
Travel to remember
Heart and Soul amber.

The Writer’s thought being what shall the Writer write?
Should it be Adventure or a Thriller?
Perhaps a love story of romance
However, the Writer’s mind was focusing on Impulse
Create beyond paper what one would expect
The Writer decided to illustrate with present
It would be a journey where Star Trek travelled before
But with a different flair
It was Galaxy upon Galaxy
Galactic
Space Travel the way it was meant to be
Astronomy to see
Black Hole known through educating, but never really explored
Spaceship moving steadily with experimental views
A world far from yesterday could become tomorrow’s residence
Yet a feeling of Independence
But what adventures would be encountered
Aliens seen in human vision unseen
The connection of Earth and Space
Compulsions of planets surrounding our spaceship
Into the realms of space never seen
Yet it is all being captured through human eyes
We are now the New Enterprise
The understanding of realize
Photographic moments with moving space of objects on pause
Space storms observations with a cause
Yet maneuvers beyond control
Our grave could become Space Dust
But could the story ever be told?
This is our account alone being bold
How can our space exploration be explained?
Perhaps will think we are crazy being lamed
Would Earth even believe?
Scientific approaches front and center in advances
Would Planes actually collide?
Space of difference in uncertainty
Shooting stars fly exceedingly fast
Acceleration upon acceleration in speed
Proceed
A lot to capture
But all recorded in pictures
We just encountered being Star trek
Venture through our own minds of rhetoric
We went high beyond any Skyscraper on Earth could mutter
We journey back to Earth to tell our discovery
We were the new Star Trek Invader’s
Space beyond
Tomorrow having a meaning
Our need to space explore
Frontier
We did it without fear
Delight
It was an experience out of sight
But it is our secret, but don’t take it light.

DEVIL’S REALM

Fire Act
Flames of conviction
A trick
Didn’t stick
Stuck behind the trap door

No fire for one

MY WALK WITH JESUS
preservationman Apr 2021
It was footsteps that seemed miles
One step at a time while
This I call being Heaven’s style
Salvation often called
But my heart would stall
This was my young years
But through the teachings from my Grandmother, I continued to preserver
I remember praying, and at that moment, Jesus came into my life
I went through trials and tribulations and continue to do so
However, I welcomed the tribulations
But it was my foundation to blessings full of appreciations
I had made a decree with Jesus that I commit myself to him
As I walked, and wanted to know more
I got involved in Bible Study, and my understanding became sure
I have many testimonies on top testimonies
Death had a mark on me through birth
Doctors had given up hope, and informed my family to prepare for a Funeral
The Doctors felt there was no hope
But my Grandmother knew a person with full authority and a power uncomment to man
She prayed and had a conversation with the Almighty
When it comes to Death, it becomes an encore
But the Lord replied to my Grandmother’s prayer, and stated your Grandson will live and will be a blessing in her later years
It came to pass
My Grandmother was a praying warrior beyond measure
Doctors said the number Seven would be my last number
I am a Senior Citizen living beyond what Doctors said impossible
But God didn’t stop there, I became continued work in progress
As I walked, a voice called out my name, I turned around, but no one was there
This happened as I walked from the train station to where I live
Again, the voice called my name again, but this time a strong theme that came to my mind, “MAN MAKES PROMISES, BUT JESUS GIVES RESULTS”
I have been walking with Jesus ever since
I thank Jesus every day for taking me into his spiritual team
My journey has just begun
I am yet flourishing in the number among
The Lord will always reign being number one

MIRACULOUS
A Greyhound Bus
Scheduled #102 to depart from Jackson, Mississippi
With destination signage for Memphis, Tennessee
The Greyhound Bus Driver was given the signal to depart
Every seat was accounted for and the bus was full
The bus was heading for the highway
Through the downtown Streets of Jackson leading to the journey that would begin
It was night and weather uncertain
Light rain began to fall
Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow
The wind got stronger and stronger
Without warning the bus was caught in a Tornado
Homes and structures were blown away
Even farm animals were also taken into flight
Cars and trucks thrown everywhere
The Greyhound Bus itself was lifted up swirling through the Tornado
What was amazing that the bus stayed intact during their ordeal
The spin and turn
Passengers were in panic
Their thought was this was their death
Without warning, the bus was descended downward, and gently placed on the ground back to the highway where journey started
Everyone was alive and survived
Only minor bruises
It was as if God said, “I spared you all”
Go and tell your testimony about the high and mighty
The Greyhound bus was able to continue their journey
It wasn’t their time to go home to Heaven
That day will always be remembered
Miraculous to tell their tail
The bus arrived into Memphis late
It didn’t matter, the Driver and passenger were alive to see another day
Faith was designated throughout the passengers
Miraculous

CAPTAIN FEARLESS
preservationman May 2024
A man that is supposed to be a Super Hero
Is really a zero
No courage
Unable to protect and defend
All pretend
Fearless not ready for any challenge
No leverage
At least that is what I think
Captain Fearless afraid of a mouse
Scare of flies even in his house
Muscles that are like butter
Shy to the core
Can’t fly nor soar
Captain Fearless with plenty of fear
If I said BOO, he wouldn’t want anybody near
So much for Captain Fearless
Already endless
I wonder the Marvel heroes are doing these days
Captain Fearless is a stay away
Global and genuine
Personality wise kind

LET’S TALK BEER
SCHAEFFER BEER BREWING COMPANY, INC. iconic advertising slogan being “ONE BEER TO HAVE WHEN YOU’RE HAVING MORE THAN ONE”
The Schaeffer Beer man being my Grandfather who worked for the company 25 years as a NIGHT FOREMAN
A mover and shaker in results
My Grandfather was outspoken and didn’t play with his words that moved productivity in the Old Williamsburg Section of Brooklyn, NY
Nestled right at the river near the Williamsburg Bridge
My Grandfather took me on a tour once, and I met the staff he supervised.

I guess my Grandfather wanted to show off his Grandson
Inspiration in me is what determination satisfies
My Grandfather got things done
I am only sorry he is no longer among
He was a man of perseverance
My Grandfather was short, but don’t let his size fool you
Just like David from the Bible, no Goliath too big nor small would Intimidate him
As my Grandfather was capable and confident
He would have never retired, but SCHAEFFER relocated from Williamsburg to Allentown, PA

My Grandfather is my Hero
He taught me Typing and had me practice 4 hours every day
He even told me business principals and preparing for college
My Grandfather also had me incorporate words from the Thesaurus
Inspiration has followed me from then to now in my adulthood

Thanks to my Grandfather
There are times his wisdom guides me in assurance in carrying me through situations that I face
I owe my Grandfather the honor in my trace
Journey on in Heaven Pop.

The drudgery of working
Sometimes you get no perk
But life is surrounding work
The idea of working is survival
When you go to work it seems like a chore
But let me explain more
Imagine working in an office from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Getting to working is no jive
In fact, one can’t wait until five
The responsibilities being all routine
Keeping on track with nothing in between
Meeting at 10:00
Preparation from when
Pressure during then
Presentation to impress
A Client’s Aptitude
I hope I am appreciated after I conclude
I must emphasize that the Client is enthused
A Firemen’s job to save and survive
There’s a fire at West 138th Street house
Like a speed of light, we must have our flashes on shining bright
It’s a matter of life or death
Now that is a Firemen’s job
You have seen two jobs working
Its morning again, you are in a rush
You are talking on the phone, but you are telling the party to hush
You burned the toast
You have no time to finish what you cooked on your plate
You are definitely running late
You dash out the door
You forgot sometime for sure
I just missed the downtown bus
I will hop in a cab being a plus
Now stuck in traffic
All I do is fuss
Now I am starting to cuss
I need to calm down being a must
Traffic Traffic Traffic
It’s just the norm being specific
What you have just witnessed, “Working-The Musical” a play about working
Did I encourage you to quit or retire?
Do be inspired
No time to explain as it has expired.

It’s eerie in walking through
One only wonders in not knowing what to expect
Fear can play on the mind having that affect
One could become foot for the forest
Trees hide the brightened skies with darkened voices
Sounds of feeding time
The heart beats ever louder
Frightened beyond scare
Continue walking if you dare
Lions, Tigers and snakes oh my
I could be their prey is why
Strange forest in obvious
Yet wandering in being curious
I am loss, and now I am furious
I am alive now, but what about later
Strange forest with all my concerns

BLACK MAN MATTERS
preservationman Jun 2021
Being a Black Man my voice can’t be still
My strength at my will
I have a mission to fulfill
As a Black Man scared for my life
I feel trapped with no advice
Brutality only leads to Death
I don’t know how much time I have to live left
But I stand representing myself as a Black Man
I have thoughts and dreams
Yet my thinking could be taken as a questionable in what it seems
Gun Bullets **** and don’t know innocent until proven guilty
Racism has turned backed time
I am considered a threat
I have done nothing wrong, but I am trying to stay upbeat
Perhaps Racism doesn’t matter to others
But it matters to me
My skin color is all that the world sees
I am a Black Man with inspiration and hope in what life should be
As a Black Man the opposition wants my voice to be silent
Everywhere I turn there is continued violence
I pray to the Lord
This battle is not mine to fight in God’s accord
I wonder at times if I will be killed on any night being the plight
Perhaps my sunrise will be darkened with no light
I could become another statistic
As a Black Man I must think realistic
But I must believe hopeful and have Faith
This is all a Black Man has
My cries come in multitudes
But just like a Book from beginning to end might be my conclude
I just want peace in soothe
I have nothing to prove
I deserve a promised life
God said it himself in giving advice
Lord I know and see
But the world keeps focusing on we
Time reversed
I read biblical scriptures verse by verse
My Faith in action in rehearse
Believe in me the way I believe in myself
My name is not assumption
I am no combustion
I am a Black Man comprising of essence
But God has given me understanding and wisdom to cherish
The world might find that surprising
As a Black Man the thought is energizing
My Death could very well be this day
Yet I am faithful in every way
I stand with one voice being one dream
I am looking out over a moving running stream
Life is not important if one doesn’t open up to God
Embrace respect and no anger steam
The world knows very well what I mean
I am a Black Man created by God
Standing on Faith and Redemption
I am that Black Man today and forever

TOUR OF HEAVEN

Through a Dream
Like a Movie Screen
Inner body soared
Flying with Lord
Toured outside of Heaven
Flesh and Blood can’t enter according to the scripture
I couldn’t take a picture
It was Majesty
Beauty of Excellence and Elegance
I was totally absorbed
With the Lord
My thought was Peace and no worries
This is my story
I asked the Lord how soon could I arrive?
Lord’s reply, He was only showing me Heaven, and if I continue to follow him, Heaven is where I will be
The Lord also stated, “It wasn’t my time, and I still had living to do
The reason for the Lord’s response, the Lord simply wasn’t ready for me as I still had years to prosper
I told the Lord how, I guess I have to go back to that nasty Earth and the Lord stated in an affirmative Yes
My inner body transcended back to my flesh and blood body
I woke up with Hallelujah in praise
Heaven’s Dream in meaning everything to me.

Not from a book
Race character in look
Yet always thinking
However, being a Leader
Thinking ahead
Striding in an affirmative stead
The mind steadily concentrating on assembly
It is able
Start until complete
Beyond measure
Success forming the pleasure
The equation quo
But there might be an although
Doubt within opposition
The Black Mind set in position
But it all mounds to decision
Promise with a purpose
Won’t drown but will reach the surface
The Black Mind knows, but won’t let go
Opposition thinks, but the Black Mind follows through
Guided in excellence
The proof formulating assurance
Teaching and encouragement providing the influence
Accomplished
Established
But you can’t take away what the Black Mind is thinking
It’s already created, and mounted in total solidarity
But comes with destiny and dignity

Did you see what needs to be changed?
You saw the beauty of you, but does your personality match up
Knowledge is the key to success
Do you believe in yourself in what you can do in achieving through efforts
You keep saying you know
Does understanding ring a bell in your mind?
Life is what a person makes it
It’s not complaining and doubt
Thinking of resolution in how uncertainty will be worked out
I know

WHAT MAKES A POET?
Portrait of their own words
The masterpiece being the sentences expressed
The need to tell
Organizing the words
Mind Thinker
What was said, and how it was said
Reader’s reaction
Journey through the Alpha Letter by Alpha Letter
Inner soul with an embracing spirit
Words just right
Artistry within
Purpose, Theory and Understanding
Courage to step out
Inspiration ranking high
Creativity like no other
Poets have their own style with words
Words unite
Imaginary, but not ordinary
It doesn’t matter what kind of writing nor when
Just write on
An inner Poet needing the emotion to come out
You are a Poet, but don’t want to show it
Put those words together, and let the world know it
Pure know how natural.

GOD’S ECHOES
preservationman May 2021
Calling Earth, Calling Earth, are you listening?
You see the Pandemic is letting up
I am giving Earth one more chance
This is an opportunity
I see the Earth needs unity
Earth is slacking in its prayers
Remember, I am the preserver
Things happening on Earth not right, but must change
Hatred and Sinful nature can’t remain
I want humbled and sincere hearts
This is how change starts
Biblical Scriptures tell my whole story
I am the glory
I bring Earth comfort and peace
Just rejoice and feel released
Peace is what I am about
You can’t do it alone, as I am the Lord that works things out
The time is now
Do it while
I am not about style
The Earth I control
I am the whole
I will be watching
Carefully observing
The Earth is under my eyes
I am the understanding and wise
Watch the skies
The elements of my return
Stay focused and learn
I have spoken

GOD’S HOLIDAY
preservationman Dec 2021
Rejuvenating life
Flowing waters
Refreshing thirst
Joy to the World
God’s honor our threshold
The stars tell of Jesus story
Our hearts being filled with glory
Hope behind the blessing
Guidance lesson
Cope having assurance
It comes from God’s influence
With every fallen snow
It’s God’s purity in the know
Kneeling in thanking for being the gift
You are the Almighty and no stiff
You are the most precious gift
Your inspiration makes the world strong
It’s fellowship in getting along
Yet, the world seems to relish on disbelief
The thought of good grief
Some people do believe at least
Many have testimonies
Miraculous in truth
Holiday Heaven’s reward
Soulful onward

MALCOLM X FORWARD
Reflection past with an after effect prove
Civil Rights powerful
A voice of meaningful words
“BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY THEORY”
Knowledge and Wisdom of principles
Set the stage for foundation
I had the honor and pleasure of having Malcolm X’s Widow, Dr. Betty Shabazz as my Professor on the subject of IN SEARCH OF WELLNESS class at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
Malcolm X was a standalone
A man full blown
History being well known
The push for Civil Rights change
Opposition just couldn’t remain
Malcolm X name represented greatness
I can account being the witness
Malcolm X was no error, but a count on
Feared no one
A name that will always be remembered
Movement of achievement
Malcolm X was killed for civil rights he believed in
His voice like a woodman’s Ax
Loud and verbal
His time on Earth was allowed
X marks the spot
He was a man of like it or not.

ROLL AWAY BED TAKEOFF
preservationman Mar 2024
Roll out
Anywhere
Circling the room
Maybe a stop in Chicago
A good night sleep going left and right
Hard to sleep tight
All happening at night side to side
One could find themselves sitting at the front door
Rolling away twist and turn soar
Sounds more like a dance
A roll away bed doesn’t stop
Moving front and back
Next morning hard to keep of the rolling track
It’s a wonder that the rolling bed doesn’t eject
Let me roll back on that
It’s a set off
Roll out and on
Buckle up

WINGSTER
If I had wings or another source to fly
I was born to soar
The sky and I
Discover horizons and unknown distances
Never seen before
Surge among the high mountains
Observing below endless oceans, Lakes, Rivers, Water Falls and running streams
Through the Sun that brings warmth
Feeling the friendly breezes
Into the air to countries beyond America
Where language accents dwell
Senses of aroma where smell of enchanted puts one in a trance
Tasting the natural soil of the good Earth
Acquaint with like never before
As I wasn’t born with wings
There is another thing
Wings of a passenger jet
The best idea yet
Journeying far and wide
Where if I had wings won’t tire
Passenger jet recline back
Airliner style
Friendly skies
Opportunity wise

MR. NOBODY
preservationman Feb 2020
A person that could be anybody
A name being unimportant
It was a human born
A yond in wake-up
A baby unknown to the outside world
New on Earth in a world swirl
Yet the baby is now an adult
Never became a celebrity star
But a baby that attempted to walk, and achieved far
So Mr. Nobody became somebody
A human in the right
Being an adult in plain sight]
Having no name to some might be a plight
But this grown-up adult didn’t take it light
You could call this adult an Achiever and Believer
Having no parents to guide
It was a young man sustaining understanding in reside
The elements of life being the teachings
The spiritual church the preaching’s
A Mr. Nobody in social circles
It was the success in becoming a Motivator
So Mr. Nobody can be called “Sir”
It’s the all out inspiration that he wants to stir

THUG MOMENT
preservationman Jul 2020
The San Francisco feel
Being a **** for a day being real
It was an experiment I wanted to try
I see puzzled faces with the reason why?
I was on vacation and touring the Frisco city with tour group, and I asked about the area the tour company wanted to avoid, the escort said to me don’t go up into upper Market Street
Now for me, I know that wasn’t a San Francisco treat
I asked the Escort in what was wrong with the area
The Escort spoke without hesitate, “Motorcycle Gangs”
I wanted to venture up
I wore a Bandana around my head with ripped up jeans, and clothes beyond my nature
I was going to become my own scene
So I became a ****
But at least no dared to mug
Once I arrived, I was in a lonely alley
Suddenly, Motorcycle gangs approached from everywhere
I started acting tough and becoming a diehard ****
I called their bluff
I was told I didn’t belong
I didn’t have to rubble, but I did get along
So the **** in me with the Motorcycle Gang I did see
I saw the big side
I did not run and try to hide
I let my instinct provide
Later, I went back to myself in abide
So San Francisco was my grain of salt and stride
A vacation to remember, but I am slumber
Listen to the wisdom of an old woman
You will find what experience sounds like
I have seen all and knowledge of all
I won’t always be around
While I am living, I will share my pointers
Grandson, I want your feet planted firmly on solid ground
Be the Adult I always told you were meant to be
Be independent and courageous
Depend on no but yourself guided by God’s assurance and influence
“Every battle there is victory at the end”
Step out and on
Every footstep is the journey gained in learning
When you fall pick yourself up
Anticipate life’s ups and downs
Finding yourself who you are
Know that you are never alone
No matter where nor how far
You are enriched in the harmony and rhythm from your very creation
Take it from Grandma from my own experience
Today’s uplift
Tomorrow’s praise ongoing
Always be ready holding steady
Grandma will always be waiting at every Airport, Bus Station and Train Station for your arrival to the pearly gates
I want to see you in where I am
Love, Grandma

The Lighthouse during stormy seas
The uncertain storms along with blowing breeze
Sea waves that seem to come alive
Angry waves within the Heaven strive
Ships often have trouble maneuvering during a storm
But in any storm, this is the norm
The Pacific Cove Lighthouse always has a rotating spotlight in don’t be alarmed
Lighthouse to every ship
Let my beam be your guidance every step of the sea
It’s about survival the way it should be
The Lighthouse is the safety point
Once ships are at sea
It’s the lighthouse light they shall see
It’s extending for whatever storm possibilities could be
The sea might be referred to as an ocean
No matter what, it’s all water
All in that order
Pacific Cove isn’t a name just made up
Its determination and target encouraging ships in never give up
The Lighthouse is Heaven’s light where ships are always in sight.

I am surrounded by Doubt
Voices keep talking to me in my head that everything will be worked out
I am in shame
Perhaps, I should take full blame
I am a loser
Evil
If Death was to come, I wouldn’t be surprised
Destroy me, I have no need to rise
I have fallen, just leave me there
The Sun turned black
I have no reason to turn back
My heart is torn apart
Tears after Tears mounting
I am in desperation
I am between separation
Money doesn’t know me
Riches are only dreams
Speculation with Assumption
I never existed
Weathered fiery storms
Forget me always
Loss within my own ashes
Dust never cleared
Wonders with unanswered questions
My hand stretched to the Heavens, but I am not worthy
Alone and Despite
Everlasting is my finish
Finale chapter
I disappeared
