Beyond the hill
on the edge of town
overlooking a graveyard..
a rest home sits…
as if hidden by
those who care
not to see….
many years ago
I worked there…
the sadness
broke my heart..
silent tears
of broken spirits…
still burn my ears..
My eyes
looking in their eyes…
saw many things.
Grown children
once trusted and loved
refused to visit..
could not visit…
yet gladly spent
money their parents
sacrificed to save
for old age….
to save their children
the hassle of
a rest home’s chores…
they say
if you sit
nieth the hill
you can see
the tears
as Angels
catch them
in golden cups
for God…

As I sat beneath a Autumn tree
Before the leaves began their fall
I watched as shadows slowly danced
on Natures Mirror for us all..
The sky was blue, peeking through
as the sun began it’s slow decline
and i heard a whisper in the wind
that spoke of Summertime…
I watched the sun burst through white clouds
like a diamond it did shine…
as if a star was there for me to see
( to find within the light of time…)
I thanked the Lord for blessing me
with the time for which to see
that nothing can change, the ‘little things”
Seasons give us all for free.
With the way this world it’s going
It’s past time for us to find
Believers who will 2 by 2
Agree that Peace On Earth we’ll find..
For when more believe in something
then that something we will find..
and peace can be reality
and like a diamond it will shine…
jewels

I wish that God had given me
The peaceful life of a tree..
Without the worries of our time
To be a tree would suite me fine..
no job to do, no bills to pay
No worries of our day to day..
Just standing tall and making shade
Trees it seems have got it made.
So someday when my days here end
and God offers me to live on Earth again..
And asks me what i choose to be
I think I’ll come back as a tree..
my friends will be the birds and bees
and all things that climb and live in trees..
I’ll hang around and clean the air
Summer’s dressed and winter’s bare..
I’ll sway and bend, dancing with the wind
If God let’s me come back to earth again…
But nothing fancy need i be
Just a simple humble tree..
The Bouquet

Once i awoke within a dream.
to find that peace had come.
All the world had freedom.
there was not one evil done.
Every war had ended,
and hunger was no more.
life had so much meaning,
when, it never did before.
Yet, I was the only one.
left upon this earth
for death had come to everyone,
who would not give peace birth
i saw about myself no sign
of modern mortal men
yet i remembered yesterday
and how the world had been.
I screamed a God to tell me why.
Oh why He did not hold
peace within the hearts of men,
treasured more than gold?
“it was then i heard a silent voice,
come from it seemed the sky
“if everything were perfect.
one would not need to try
there shall be the hungry ones
as well as those quite full
there shall be the loving hearts
as well as those quite cruel
there shall be the fortunate
as well as those in need
peace won’t come till everyone
plants a peacefull seed.
it was then i asked the silent voice
to tell me one by one
where had been the peaceful seeds
to plant by everyone?
the voice became a whisper
then it quivered than it cried
search your heart and soul each day
for they are there inside
if everyone quite fortunate
helped out just one in need
the full would feed the hungry
but that’s just one peaceful seed
i awoke from that dream to find
some follow some shall lead
but one thing that we all can do
is plant that peacefull seed.
Matthew 18-19

I found Him sitting alone
between 2 sets of trees
hidden from view
near a public hunting sign
off a gravel road…
He just seemed
to appear there…
in the middle of no where.
his one eye
seeming to glare
at me intruding…
i felt as though
He seemed
as surprised
to see me
as i was
to see him..
sun rays fell
Like a rainbow
all around Him..
as if they’d come
to visit…
i did not look inside
the old glass
or touch his door..
I did not see his other side..
someday i will
but not this time.
Holding Ground..

Deep in a woods
on a small tiny mound..
a forgotten church stands
still holding her ground..
her stained glass windows
have been long ago gone
but she is still standing
Her time lingers on..
i wish now that i’d taken
time to write in the snow
wise wirds of wisdom
for a picture to show..
but all i could think of
was the Beauty I saw
tucked in the holes
and the cracks in her wall..
see seemed to be showing
me her beauty that day
as sunset was nearing
casting shadows to play….
