Poets Prophets And Songs 01/23/05 A jumble of words in verse much for smile Poets prophets songwriters going the extra mile Bridging the way for us to write Giving voices to those who might With rhymes serving poets great and small Composers commanding music through the halls Poets into prophets heeding the call Writers of the music lullabies or hymns The psalms in a church from beginnings to ends All shapes and beauties grace and strengths From passionate hearts through the pens The poet tells of far away days Prophets of what could be and when Words of paradise man and art one again Desolation of mankind the rise of him For earth and heaven and crackle of flames The world's musicians all tongues of nations Creating songs everlasting blending rhythms By vast composers rhythmic to the soul brought to light overnight By poets prophets and songs

The Angels Cry 01/23/05 The heart of man cold as ice Uncaring to the angles cry Cold souls unwilling to listen Or understand the reason why Only the songbirds listen close To the angels wails listening understanding Angels words in every tear Whispered to songbirds throughout the years Across mountains out to seas Angels weeping in symphony Weeping for the soul of man Crying soon we'll understand Love is best no room for greed Love the only planted seed Melting cold souls for eternity Love's another reason another why The Angels Cry

As Flowers In The Field 02/04/05 None shall suffer none shall weep On that blessed shore Where peace and love will reign forever evermore When our journey's past 'tis the last No memory or hope will cling no more us no more being Like the flowers in the field came to bloom and decay So do we vanish and we pale it appears we fear Past or present unnoticed by the flowers bright and sweet Us ourselves are not this lucky with time in fleeting speed Chilled by damp reality and truths and our fading youth In summers breeze in rich scents we hide from the truth Our guilt destroyed in pain and woe we still have our hope Trying to refrain from the naked truth the bed of death the dreary tomb Sinking hearts in hopeless gloom when all we've done and all we'll yield Withers away As flowers in the field

If We Send 02/15/05 The world just isn't as bright today Dimmed by the tide of a killer a tsunami wave Created by an earthquake worst in forty years So many lost a total unknown To think we can measure this loss were wrong So it goes without saying But when I visualize children playing And then being washed away I crumble to my knees and I beg I beg for an answer for these dear sweet kids I've blamed God like he did this I've ask for forgiveness I pray he gives When all I should do is pray for them Forget myself and my self pity And break my piggy bank for every last penny Give until it hurts what ever I can To all these poor victims every woman child and man We can make a difference Yes one person can Now is the time it 'tis the season Here's our opportunity here's the reason Millions need help or they to will die I know you feel compassion by that tear in your eye That helps make it easier to give knowing your helping another to live Who might not without your help If not for them do it for yourself For one day you may be a victim too Needing someone to just help you If all you have is pennies to give then that's enough Pennies make dollars add up Give if you can give as a friend It will all add up If we send The best and easiest way to give is online at many relief sites already set up.

My Very Best 02/22/05 On the first day of the new year I made a wish for me peace and prosperity On the second day of the new year I made a wish for you peace and prosperity too On the third day of the new year I made a wish for us peace prosperity and love On the fourth day of the new year I made a wish for earth that we would replace everything we took On the fifth day of the new year I thought I'd better pray God give me peace and another day On the sixth day of the new year I said another prayer Thank you God for another year On the seventh day of the new year I made sure to get some rest Because for the rest of the year I'm going to make it my very best

Dear Earth 03/08/05 Dear Earth I'm so sorry for what we've done made you more vulnerable to the sun I'm so sorry for your precious water I wish we were so much smarter than to pollute your very air We need it to live how dumb we are Please forgive us for destroying your trees We butchered them up for our needs Made them into paper and buried them deep In landfills to pollute your trickling streams I am so sorry for all of this for the earth and our kids Please dear earth forgive our greed and keep fulfilling all our needs For upon you we depend On the very air we breathe The water we drink the food we eat The oil for heat we shouldn't need We can harness the sun for that But your oil's worth trillions Making bank accounts big and fat So there's little use for the sun There's to much greed for pumping oil So the pollution will go on another generation or two There's not much I can do but say I'm sorry to you And that I'll do my best to stand up for you and protest Any raping of your soil and the use of oil The polluting of your air by cancer causing chemicals I declare Fertilizers that make food and tumors grow Monetary gain is behind it all Lust for money is killing babies at birth Please have mercy on us Dear Earth

For Her And Him 03/24/05 Children are the future you know we say Why we keep taking their future away Raping the land for all it's got It can't last forever it must stop Before we know it'll be gone Our children's future they'll depend on No resourses left for them How do you explain to her or him That we were greedy before your time Back then it was mine mine mine No remorse or no respect money money money Is what we do best Take from the land and don't return Makes me feel sorry for him and her A future not as bright as it should be All because greed was the planted seed With roots this strong a future dimmed What will be left for her and him

A Thorny Crown 03/24/05 A roaring crowd a crucifying and a crown Jeering and wailing all around Spikes hammered down Screams of the crucified above the crowd A murderer a thief and a son The murderer the thief What had the other done A crown of thorns piercing his brow He had not stolen nor had he killed Yet his blood would be spilled Yea though I walk through The valley of death I shall fear no evil For thou art with me Psalm twenty three I think of this Psalm When I think of he He who died upon that cross The lamb of God I've always thought Was crucified so that we may live To be born again to walk with him Forgiven and saved from our sins An eternal life with no ends Where nail scarred hands may be found And where I may someday touch A Thorny Crown

Gone 04/02/05 Yesterday, last week, last month, last year Gone A bicycle I had as a child A beautiful friend and her smile Grandparent's uncles and aunts Winter's grip but it's coming back Eyesight hearing and strong bones Along with muscle tone Unscarred skin one color of hair Do I say more do I dare Reveal a mind once thought strong Weakened by abuse far to long All the memories that are lost The treasures valued most Gone

The Battle Within 05/15/05 Inside my soul a battle rages on My faith grows weak The evil is strong The devils been there All these years Waiting to pounce On my fears Breaking down my defenses One by one The devil now feels He has won Pulling at my faith With all his might Making me question What's wrong or right Leading me down slippery slopes In hopes that I Will let my soul Rot and die Taking me on a path Of no return Where my faith shall wither Becoming useless and burned Leaving me hopeless That I cannot win The battle within
