thy soul
what
makes
a suspension bridge
that
whispers
through
a winter's soul

the
scares of war
my friend
shall
ripple
through
your
closed skin
again
but
still
i
cried for
war
to
ride once more
upon
the
peace train

upon
looking
through
the
mirror of time
the
black stallion
witnessed
the
reflection of
the
white unicorn
with
wings galloping
through
the
ghost white clouds

it was almost love
when
i
was thinking about you
who
put this poison
upon
my lips
and
you ripped through
my soul
when
i
was thinking  about you
it was almost love
i
still want your kiss

one earth
one moon
with
eagle feathers
to
make our wings
one horse
to ride
through
the
great grandfather clouds
and
the buffalo plains
one drop of tribal blood
one Cherokee nation
with
eagle feathers
to
let our spiritual voices sing
and
through
the
grace of God
we walk by faith
and
not by sight

slow down
slow down
this
moment still
slow down
slow down
upon
this hill
slow down
slow down
until
we
keep thy faith
through
God's will

Unfortunately, people in hell, want ice water

I am not going to let this world stress me out anymore because the Lord answers prayers. Recently, I passed away and made it all the way to heaven. This time, I am one of God’s holy angels.

Lord, I need to step out of this world again and find myself a shady tree.
Folks are killing each other for no reason at all. Yesterday, the sun started crying because they built those skyscrapers too high in these neighborhoods.

Well, I am too scared to go in an elevator, downtown. Every time I look up at those skyscraper buildings, my arthritis kicks in. Lord, in the morning I need a little bit of sunshine on my face. Where is Mama's shady tree?

Every time I pick up the newspaper, I see corruption, violence, and bad news in this world. Mama used to say, “What the world needs now, is love, sweet love?” Look at these kids bringing guns and knives to school and participating in lockdowns, instead of lunch breaks. I know some of these kids are spoiled rotten to the core.

Anyway, the kids figure it is more economical to sell drugs than to attend Yale or Princeton College.

Well, too many video games and all that bling, bling rap music on TV are destroying their young minds. Look at the young girls having babies and leaving a helpless and poor baby in the trash bins for the garbage men to pick up. We have babies making more babies.

Oh, heavenly Father and sweet Jesus, I need my shady tree to recover from all this mess! Lord, we have too many children ripping and running these streets without fathers at home, providing clothes, food, and shelter.

Cassius, please bring your mama a glass of ice water. Have you heard about the good news, “Jesus is coming back” Lord, just let me live 999 years or live as long as Moses lived?

Well, I remember, back in the day, whenever I had any troubles in the world, I just go look for Mama's shady tree. Cassius, please bring Mama her slippers, so I can rest these tired old feet.

Now, bless his little soul. Well, I don't have to worry about it anymore, because I died and went to heaven.

thy
holy wings
to
thee
i
sing
shall
write
another
psalms
for
the
wild blue gospel sky
with
only
thy wings

what
patch of light
still
shines
through
these
clouds of glory
bends the arc of justice
that
tell our journey
towards
the
kingdom of heaven
then
what
patch of light

when
the
autumn leaves
naturally
fold
themselves
into
a flock of
red origami birds
then
we
take flight
to
the
Far East Land

when
faith dwells
in
the
atmosphere
thus
reassurance
through
the
soul

pink ash clouds
fade
into a
Mona Lisa
painted
canvas sky
captured
the
portrait
Mona Lisa smile

ask
the
yellow tiger moth
who
flutters
her
wings
between
both candle flames

seabirds
hungry enough
to
break
through
the
claws of the ocean

yes indeedy
the
bumblebees
are
hungry and greedy
just
buzzing around
a closed jar of
delicious honey
well
between
Leroy and Jimbob
somebody gotta
figure this one out
yall bring me
my portable
handy dandy
rectilinear toolkit
to
solve the problem
if
we
just momentarily
bounce a few things
off the wall
then
bang pop, zoom, wee, and lickety-split

thy
heart seeks
a lantern
to
follow
thy
faith
and
be cleansed
by
the sunlight

ask
the
enchanted mirror
to
find
the
whole
in
your heart

the
songbird
sings
her
highest pitch
through
autumn color leaves

poetry
is
the
blood
that
flows
through
your veins
air water and light
that
nourishes the soul
the
evidence of life
pulsating
through
the
cosmos
that
let you know
how
God is in control

it
shall
take several
footsteps
for
us to cross
to
complete
the
bridge of trust

love
carries
the
moonlight
in
her heart
thus
she wants
to
bring her ship to shore

the
scent of peace
shall flourish
thus
seasoned
the
battlefields of war
when
i
am sure and still are
and
let
peace once more
remove
the
ancient scars of war

if
we
don't
learn how to listen
to the will of God
life shall beat you down
without mercy
into the ground
then
you will have no choice
but
to submit and obey
the
will of God
what is good in life
obey the will of God
earth moon and stars
obey the will of God
listen with a purpose
to find
the
kingdom of God

a strange thing
only
the
poet knows
when
the
songbird
opens
their
wings
their
voices shall sing
and
we
break bread
when
we
get home
with
our wings

let
love
filled
our
hearts
with
holy water
what
make
the
heavenly stars
shine bright at night
the
universal order
when
love
fill our hearts
with
holy water
and
the light shall fill the room

the
warm eyes of heaven
******
wind dust and storm
shall not prevent
the
amnesty of the heart
until
the calm of the afterglow

what
dwells inside the temple soul
thus
a deep
Springwell of eternal light
in
spiritual harmony
with
the cosmic beat of her tambourine

a poem
wants to ripen
and
it
needs
warmth and light
to
sing with joy
to
make things right
gently
before
the
harvest season
appears
with
delight

thy heart
a
wooden lute
that
sing like
a red thrush
upon
this
wind song earth
played along
from
your
lovely heart

death
rings her bells
through
flesh and bone
of
the
lost souls
that
dwell
through
the
furnace of hell

love
is like
a swirl of
pink cotton candy
resting
upon
a honey-coated cone
and
love is dandy
at
the
county fair

sometimes
dreams do come true
while
the
heart is pure
from
the
shining night before
only
when
i
am thinking of you
and
i am still sure
love begins with a kiss
though
you said that you loved me
darling
i
am still in love with you

through
the
quiet
atmosphere
we
only
breathe in the air
to speak
and
only
if
to say the words

oh lord
you
giveth me
a sacred holy sign
thus
i
believeth
that
you gave us
your
only begotten son
who
washed away
the
sins of the world
than
whose
fruit are we lord
until
peace be still

Sir Camelot
my lord
war has ******
herself
upon us
thus
we
need
tiffany's light to prevail
thus
to win
the
battle of Nottingham
we
must bring
the battlefield
to
the edge of night
until
we
conquer
the
forces of darkness
from
every corner of this sweet earth
and
to
secure a place in time
for
glory to shine her golden wings
we shall
we must
be brave royal knights

oh lord
when
i
leaped
until
i
landed
upon
the
red rose
tossed from the hills
lying in the winter's snow
but
i
did not know
that
lovely rose
had
nowhere to go

jagged edges of mountains
****** upward
toward the heaven
if
time possesses
the
strength and courage
to smooth out
the
rough edges
into
another direction
shall
gives testimony
to
witness
the
other side

unconcerned
about
the
menu
when
a
band of crazy frogs
just
graduated from
the
university of amphibians
however
they wanted
to go
skinny dipping
into
the
deep sauce frying pan
in an upscale
sushi bar restaurant
and
they assumed
it was
a freshwater lake

i
need a whale
of a tale
to
move
this
iceberg

Tokyo birds
tucked in
their bright wings
to use
the
wooden oars
to row their boats
across
to
quiet shores

a sanctuary
for
the
red cardinal birds
to
congregate
and
dip their wings
in
holy water
and
receive the good news
from
the
bible verses
John, Paul, and Mathew

the
moon
traveled
from
her
station
to
journey with God

the
jet black ravens
navigate
through
the
heavenly stars
and
migrate the flock
to
the  
far east
near
the
Buddhist Temple of Peace

the
road of discipline
with
sharp nails
and broken
pieces of glass
covered
with
rice paper
you must
walk slowly grasshopper
but
carry a big stick
to
conquer
the
blue moon dragon

a real song
is
skin and bones
made of flesh and blood
tight as a drum
but
still
it wants to
sing out loud

oh love
carved out her space
that
we
did not know
but
we
could not erase
oh love
is
just a quiet place
for
two hearts to grow

doors opening in darkness
but
faith leadeth me
through
this
tunnel of light
beside
the
still waters

Prometheus
from
his
swift golden chariot
passed
the baton
and
placed fire
into
the
hands of mankind
thus
to
ring the iron bells of liberty

the
stars
no longer tremble
after
God's creation
then
joy comes
in
the morning
