GLOOM OF NIGHT
preservationman Oct 2023
The night in full swing
Darkness at its best
Even during weather elements
No matter what
The moon in various angles
Full, Half and Quarter
Stars that don’t always twinkle
Night prey
A need to pray
Darkness into the unseen
People that can act mean
Sudden scenes
Lights out
Darkness marches on
Night within fright
You got that right
A stalk
A walk
Night Avenger
On watch
Attack
Night fulfilled

THE WANDERING WHEEL
preservationman May 2014
Spin spin spin
Turning until when
The wheel that was spinning for miles
All this happened all awhile
The wheel just kept on rolling
It was like the wheel was patrolling
It was over hills and determined wills
The wheel spinning all around
Destination in becoming being bound
The wheel could be heard tire marks sound
Yet the turning of the wheel seems like life’s expansion
The wheel’s movement in arriving in knowing where to be
The vision in being in sight for all to see
The wheel in having a trail in where it has been
When the wheel comes to a stop, it will be at an end.
The wandering wheel of one's fate

In order for love to start, you must open up

However this is the time to start love and start fresh

Love can be a splendid thing
Image you and I talking as we ride in a swing
Love is more than just holding hands
It goes far beyond any interlude

This is not a demand being a must
Yet it’s open up to a day from yesterday
Your future has become tomorrow
Come out from feeling pity and sorrow
There is hope in tomorrow
As a couple, we have hit the bull’s eye on target
Our love will be like the Stock Market
Having everything to gain and our love that will remain.

As I entered the room
My audience would get an expectation coming soon
I was the keynote speaker
My presentation being of inspiration
Let your spirit capture your heart
Let your mouth think on where do I start
You start by moving forward
Have your mind to continue on thinking upward and onward
Your footsteps should have trails on where you have been
It’s an achievement past
Then its positive thinking that will last
Introduce the confidence that you should be
Then watch as all eyes see
Define assurance and persuasion
One can’t function without the other
You cannot reverse to serve your purpose as another
This is all what comes together
The idea is to illustrate who you are
It is knowledge that takes you far
You can’t get there by car
But it takes the efforts of who you are
This is my presentation approach
A clear cut assortment like a brooch
Use whatever resources in getting you going
Because of me you are now in the knowing
I hope I inspired you to expand
Remember see the horizon at your command

JUST ANOTHER DREAM

I had received fortune of wealth
Yet in the dream I was still in good health
I had a Mansion high up in the Catskills of New York overlooking the Hudson River
Then had a summer home in Paris, France by a swan lake
It was breathtaking in a picture take
I would often sail on my yacht in some summers in the Hamptons on Long Island
It then would be travelling on my private jet and head over to Los Angeles to venture on Catalina Island
I would be lying on the beach getting a deep dark tan
The eye of riches of the sun at my command
Well, it was all a dream
My own imagination being a subconscious stream
All this happened while I was asleep
This was all in my memory to keep
At least I can dream
Being rich is what it might seem.

Spending time with friends and family in being among

Summer means a break from school
Having fun and acting a fool
Letting my feet breathe on the beach sand
Soaking up the sun in my own adventure land
My summer is accelerating like a Disney World ride
Thrills with taking in the sights
Oh yes, I still must be polite
This is summer and having no stress to be uptight
My summer gave me a reason to smile
Despite all the summer showers, I still enjoyed during while
I wish summer could last forever
But seasons do change
It’s the flow being the arrange
This was truly a summer, which I will never forget
Summer will soon depart, and with that being my only regret
I will not take a summer bet
Soak up all the sun while I can get
Thanks for all your warmth
The sun I will continue to take until summer’s end
I guess you could say, I found summer to be my best friend
With that, we have come to the end.

Ornaments stand tall on the tree for all to see
Piano keys on cue, but keep your eye on me
Let the ***** bring in the bass to start the song
Now choir, ornaments, piano and ***** in the blend where the music and singing belong
Now on cue when I signal for the music to come along
The song, “Christms only Comes Once A Year”

In the distance a snowman stands tall
The old fashion Christmas
When toy trains travelled around the Christmas tree
Family gatherings in the multitude as we

A name mentioned throughout the land
A day when Frosty came to life
His movement and speech being his own strife
Rejoice with a joyous heart
The Bethlehem star being the Christmas mark
Wise men walking through the desert to be a marvelous babe
Drums beat as a Christmas treat
Prayers from the world in redemption that speak
The baby Jesus is not like everybody else
It stands for a time to give of one’s self
Giving beyond receiving
Christmas is centered around thine
Now keep that in mine
As the music wines down
Take a moment and now look around
Past Christmases you saw
Many people you knew and know will never explore
They are and will be asleep in Heaven
Lift your hands up in praise
You are showered in God’s amaze
Christmas spirit full of joy
You have reached the Christmas shore and just say “Ahoy”.

A MOTHER ONLY KNEW

A Mother who lived to be 92
She lived her life in scores of 2
Old age has taken its mount
When it comes to years, you could barely count
It was the vision of the Mother I am going home
It will be Heaven where I will roam
The Heavenly gates have opened for me
Mother repeated, Heaven, I am just so anxious to see
An Angel entered the Mother’s room
The Mother was told her hour would be soon
As the clock ticked and Death became quick
The Angel simply said, “Come and follow me”
The Mother’s spirit rose and obeyed the Angel
A lifeless body laid for all to remember
A Mother’s remembrance
Remember me being more than a Mother
Don’t think of me in being just another
Think of me in my smiles and how I stayed awhile
However, it was Grace and that’s God’s style
My life is how I lived
My appreciation in my heart in giving
My left legacy, “Live not to our own understanding, but live where you accept being learned”
Wisdom comes a long way
It will carry you for as long as you want it to stay
Today I leave you, but you are in good hands
It’s the Lord who watches throughout the land
I am on a journey to awaken on a new beginning
Don’t weep and don’t cry for me
Make me proud and be strong for all to see
Your Mother says not good-bye, but we will see each again being eye to eye.

Storytelling time while Grandpa Sam has his Grandson Jimmy in his lap
It was a time when Grandpa Sam and Buffalo Bill rode a horse to steal
It might seem like it was for real
It was in the state of Texas within the western towns of CASPER GULCH and WHISPERING WINDS
Grandpa Sam and Buffalo Bill would hold up the WELLS FARGO BANK
We were robbers so we had rank
We would often stop Stagecoaches and steal the passenger’s jewelry and money
My horse’s name was FURY and Buffalo Bill’s was FLYING SLEUTH
Our horses would stair up dust whenever we would ride
We were in control and took every inch of our stride
Our guns were our voice
They were our Mouth Piece being our choice
The days of Buffalo Bill and Grandpa Sam
Well at that point, Grandpa’s Grandson Jimmy had fallen asleep
He was in his own dream world with the imagination to keep
Imagination that rang high
No need in asking why
A story Grandpa Sam expressed really well
But it is our secret and I won’t tell.

Once careers that furnished
A new terminology of unnourished
Years past there was longevity in how long you stayed on a job
Yet the reverse of jobs created no mob
Short term you might as well be a temp
The idea of long term is out the door it went
A recommendation passed from a Former President
The theory became an idea for U.S. Companies being evident
Long term had finally become the worse enemy
It was put asleep
Then filed away for sometime to keep
The new career is short term
It means stay 3 or 6 months then move along
Companies no longer want you to be employed long
But there is a catch
The applicant becomes the test run
Playing with someone’s career isn’t fun
The employer’s voice, “We want to see if you will work out”
Now you see what I am talking about
Imagine living career wise day by day
There is not much you can really say
However salaries have dropped dramatically
You live based on living scientifically
Created a method that will help you survive
Regardless of circumstance you have the power to continue to strive
Yes people need a job
However at what extend to one’s expiration
A career revival change
New policies need to be arranged
Terms with their own name
No time for the blame game
A new wave of short term to remain
Create your own long term being the aim.

Ms. Cicely Tyson was a talented Black Inspired Woman
She cannot be denied for that
It’s not a fact, but forward back to her acting life, and she stands alone in her craft
If Cicely Tyson were alive today, what wisdom would she portray?
“If it’s acting you want to achieve, then prepare, and be ready to act. Find tone your approach, and let the spotlight be your shine, and just the applause be your inspiration continuous”
Ms. Tyson conquered all racial barriers
Determined to succeed, and not setting for negative words
She was destined that her acting ability would be heard
I remember when Ms. Tyson played the role of Jane Pittman on TV of “The Autobiography of Ms. Jane Pittman”
She played the role superbly and her dramatics being an encore in greatness

This was the advice my Grandmother would often say
The thought still stays
When my Grandmother would say that statement being the title, I had to search deep and try and understand
But the deeper I thought the more complex the understanding became
Now I don’t want to sound lame
Yet careful analysis certainly being the aim
In order to overcame a struggling barrier sometimes it requires to give in and just move on
It means stepping out on Faith and being guided beyond losing, but throughout there will be a gain in win
Questions arise in determination of when?
It all depends on that situation at that moment or second
But it is understanding that one will have to reckon
“Sometimes you have to lose in order to win” statement seems to surround a defeat and win being the overcome
Defeat seems to be a focus, but at the end a gain of satisfaction
Sometimes a struggle can be overbearing and a person just can’t take it anymore, and have no other alternatives but to either move on or stay in
To win is do what’s best for the individual to maintain your self-control
Again, it’s step out on Faith and watch the turnaround in behold
There is a belief referring to believe in being confident
Once the believe has taken place
Lose to win becomes established being the trace
So my Grandmother had the right idea, it was wisdom sustaining in assuring the understanding
Since I have gotten more aware the title statement is my beyond compare
It is helpful and I wanted to share
Remember, it is assurance one will overcome, but there is sacrifice at the beginning, but sacrifice is the opportunity in learning to winning.

But cars, buses and trucks were keeping up with the highway flow
As our Greyhound bus pushed on
It was a journey in long and waking up in a yearn
It would be about arrival time
This is what our Greyhound Driver had in mine
The hound dog far from taking a nap
The Greyhound Driver wore proudly his cap
It’s eyes on the road
On-time arrival in behold
An overnight ride
We made it to our destination in stride.
Darkness on the highway and light guided into direction as indication

However, continue to read your bible in educating you in teach
Why do the wicked get?
While others seemed to be overlooked in forget
As the sermon went on, the reward shall come along
But Jesus is truly where you belong
The testimony is about to confess
Don’t be disillusioned and let your faith come down to less
Standing in the elevator at work, the testimony of one got a surprise compliment that was made
A fellow associate from another department stated, “You are thorough in what you do and being efficient and I appreciate you in your efforts”
Well that was a surprise in what the sermon said all along
I guess it was encouragement in thought to preserver
Then an email arrived
This was no jive
I was offered an opportunity to take surveys online
It was from Greyhound Bus Lines being the sponsor and a Research Company
Greyhound being the company that I love
It’s Heaven’s way in helping me to see how my blessing relates
A sermon well done
It’s God all the way being the one
It’s the faith in believing with inspiration that can never be outdone.

PASSIONATE ABOUT BUSES

What is it about a bus?
For the life of me, what is all the fuss?
Well for starters, a bus design like no other
The craftsmanship in variation being another
The open road in a child’s eyes with bus wheels of highway just
However becoming a knowledgeable hobbyist being a must
The hound dog stretched out on a bus as kid would often pass in front of me by
In a young kid’s fascinating mind of oh my
The hound bus seemed to move faster than I could speak
Being a lover of animals for me this was a treat
Then I familiarized myself with the silver and gold of Continental Trailways
It was the Silver and Golden Eagle having their own distinguished structure with its own meaning
The royal red carpet treatment of the Golden Eagle Five Star Luxury Service
A Hostess On-Board with Stereo Music that could be heard
My eyes were all amazed with all that came with travelling on an interstate bus
Later I was venturing out with having my own personal collection of 2,000 plus toy scale models
It was Macy’s and my Aunt for giving me my glance of a toy scale school bus which opened my preservation in exploring buses more
Well with a few tot tactics, my Aunt was forced to buy me that toy school bus
As a tot, the buses made me happy and having no fuss
But today, the bus industry revolves all around us
Us being the hobbyist that we are and involvement that we do
This is something we should continuously pursue
Let’s keep the bus industry alive
I am being honest and that’s no jive
As the bus exhausts reminds us, let us be the influential force of the bus.

STRATEGY GAME
preservationman Apr 2015
Eye to eye on the opponent
A strategy for me to explore
A beginning before any score
I am ready with my silver sword
Before I begin, I want to salute my Lord
Cling Cling to the other opponent’s sword
A battle to the finish
Who will be victorious and distinguished?
The opponent raises his sword to catch me off guard
Yet my plan being a strategy
A mind game to confuse my opponent
My sword will be the victorious one
We are doing battle and far from done
My sword is my king and eye from Heaven being the thing
Suddenly the other opponent hits the ground
It’s his sword falling in the making the sound
My sword is pointed at the opponent’s chest
The same sword could end his life
Shall he live or should I cut off his breath?
This is a moment to be victorious
But since my sword cokes from the Lord, I will let the other opponent live
After all, this was a pillar of Strategy War
This wasn’t a war to the death
It was a war in showing who was confident and assured
Who was the best and who should get applause
The sword had a reflecting light with someone’s name
The name being Lord Victorious
A war being nothing more than a game
But with coaching in knowing I was the tame
No negative vibe of blame
The strategy war in what I saw
It was the test of endurance and confidence in being sure.

Outline, having a precise outline
Agenda that will be covered

A lesson plan that will help students understand
Theories and Concepts that will be in demand
The question of why with the outcome of philosophy in what will be established
Simplicity into simplest terms
Yet reality will be in the actual being complex
Example, the reason people read a book is to obtain knowledge
Intellect being the whole new level
Knowledge being the assembly
The foundation being the concept
Lessons being the pitfalls and overcoming barriers
Concepts in knowing how theories work
Logic
Putting all the components of analyzing
Solutions being solvency
Knowing what to look for when a problem does arise
But the lesson is “Don’t be surprised”
That is the reason that there is a lesson plan
The lesson plan must be complex in order to test students to use their analytical minds
It’s the criteria of curriculum
Succeed by knowing and efforts in doing
Knowledge being the upward direction
Yet a lesson plan must be on target
It’s the responsibility of any educator to have subject matter down pack
Every word, sentence and thought sharp as a tack
Nothing of the lesson should lack:
A. UNDERSTAND
B. GRASP THE CONCEPTS
C. ANALYTICAL
D. PROBABLY WITH DEFINED POSSIBILITIES
E. PRINCIPLES
Lesson plan worked out
I hope you have any understanding to what I was talking about
End of session, now use what you were taught, but make every given moment your Understanding with having a purpose, and success that will be your own confess.

The Colorado Hills
They are reminding me of movie stills
The Greyhound bus wheels rolling at 55
All the Rocky Mountain peaks have their own strive
I am reclining in my leather seats
Listening to my music that can’t be beat
The bus pictures windows adding flavor as a treat
Our journey has spanned from Denver to Phoenix
Our Greyhound bus climbing hills than any bird that could fly
It’s the hound with endurance giving every try
Yet the Greyhound bus showed me my Rocky Mountain high
The night headlight flashes on and off
The Greyhound bus greeting other drivers as they pass by
America just waves and the hound knows how to behave
The Rocky Mountains as they stand tall and *****
They seem to move as the Greyhound bus wheel’s seem too soothe
Our Greyhound bus pulls into the terminal stead
A journey of 3 days and I could use a bed

STORM ALERT

I remember a song stating, “Don’t be afraid of the storm, but hold your head high”
You questioned me about my own storms
I fell down, but got up
I then walked on
Faith surrounded me
My arms were raised in praise
I knew it was God’s amaze
Yet you kept questioning me again about my storms
But do you even know what your storms were in your life?
A storm can be devastating, but also a learning experience through one’s living
Faith is the answer and behind it is the Lord in don’t be alarmed
Lightning is the advice
Rain becomes the many showering blessings
The wind is comfort in being at ease
Hail is the battle, but victory comes from on high
Praying that sustains into Lord help me please
The storm is a reminder, the Lord being the Great I Am
Storms are struggles that everyone must go through
It’s asking for guidance in how to pursue
Storms help one understand
One must be able to stand and face the storms approachable
As my Deceased Grandmother would often say, “We will understand after while”
Storms are turbulence between your mind and soul
Yet the same storms can also be rewards
Blessings unmeasurable
Eye on the skies and being wise
Storms being the norm
Storms surround our lives all about
Don’t be alarmed, the storms won’t harm

“Come one Come All”
Our President wants to change the Statue Of Liberty Poem to “Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet, and who will not become a public charge”

Picture the Statue Of Liberty arm pointing to get out
Our Forefathers put the Constitution into law
They conquered and saw
The Constitution was written in stone
That means the President should leave alone
The Statue Of Liberty Poem states in what it should say
But the President can’t just get his way
I wouldn’t be surprised if Liberty Island becomes Forbidden Island
