Sentimental

What have you wrought with a single thought?

Not through a want, a need or even a desire
But to share of yourself from the burning fire.

Entrails that sweep across the sky
My God, you sanction that we cry.

To shed tears at the birth of one who looks like me
Softness of frame and loveliness of face to see.

To cry inside when my child ventures out on a date
My beloved baby, please for this time of your life; just wait.

Graduation with pomp and circumstance and the roll of the drums
My beautiful daughters and my handsome sons.

At their wedding my macho being inside to cry
For childrern I offer an eternal, joyous sigh.

Tho I Cry

I cry for tragedy but never for sorrow
As I truly believe in the world of tomorrow.

I believe in you and I also believe in me
To believe in myself and what I hear and see.

I love my family, my God and my nation
I believe in a oneness that is in every human relation.

I believe in love, fairness, justice and trust
That these are the keystones of life, else we remain in the dust.

They are also four words as the embryo for the living scenes
Relationships that have corners of reality and also dreams

Life is to live fully and completely and be devoid of fear
Love is to have fully and completely, with those so near.

Fairness is to be smooth, equal and have no thorn
Relationships are to happen to join and even to be born.

Mother Nature's Fall Dress

Mother Nature's Fall Dress

The wind came up and started to blow
A sky filled with dark and rain coming slow.

Trees swaying touching the ground
The rain still coming but now surrounds.

Lightening slashing the fabric of the sky
Exposing the vestigial virgins, colorful eye.

The river was in a tourmoil with patches of wake
Falls first weather and summer heat to break

The wind picking up almost to a gale
Thunder and lightening with enough rain to fill a pail.

I sit among nature's eventual force
Wind, lightening and dark clouds; of course.

Mankinds Events

Before recorded time there was only the sun
Prior to the beginning there was an evil one.
Man came from out of the universal creator's desire
Before even the flame there was energy and fire.

Creation came prior to man's thoughts
Man is man, but a God he is definitely not.
Man could not survive without anoher
The vessel of earth's future; she is called our Mother

Evil waits on the opposite side to share and give
Children are humanities reason and purpose to live.
If the body and mind does not change and grow
Only yesterday's knowledge will the mind ever know.

Evil is alone and has no sisters of brothers
It exists by attachment to the mind of another.
Evil does exist but has no human life
Relatives of prejudice, hate and fear used to incite.
Evil holds not the keys to life and death

Tribal Women

Tribal Women

Before language there were sounds and lines
Also pictures to explain or present warning signs.

The veracity of wind felt by pressure and to hear sound
Angry howls before the rain finally stikes the ground.

The golden sun with its glorious light
Purpose and reason to lift the curtain and take away the night.

Lines to here and lines to where
Mother of nature created to share.

A long hot journey with little rest
To seek refuge near waters their eventual quest.

Early in the monring a Mother first to proceed
Giver and carrier of life and mentor of each earthly seed.

Spirtual Ethics

'To take the life of self or another'
Never again a journey with sister or brother.

'To be the instigator of physical or mental pain'
A journey as the receiver of the act; time and time again.

'Those who cheat, lie or steal'
A journey of darkness never to see or reveal.

'The abusers of the earthly phsycial form'
A journey when they wished they were never born.

'Those who do not share their earthly treasure'
A journey spent in waiting in a time they cannot measure.

'Those who do wrong and believe it is right'
A long, long journey to see a heavenly sight.

'Those who misuse the gift of power'
A journey that will include an eternal hour.

No Secrets

God knows us better than I know me
God knows we love the creator of our sea.

God knows we love color and softness of skin
God knows we try not to intentionally sin.

God knows we love the other half of earth's human gender
God knows we love children and the one from December.

God knows we love all living life
The fish, animals and of course; our loving wife.

God knows us because of the time lent
Even when we sit and just question; where it went.

God is our happiness, tears and joy
Magnificence seen in both the girls and the boys.

God knows we love silence and the word
God knows we love the beauty of a flying bird.

First Water

First Water

The water had its beginning before earthly time began
Before even the first born God would call man.
The Creator knew the value and significance of water
Just as the second human creation we call a daughter.

Man certainly does not live by bread alone
But along side the children who sleep at home.
Man can survive without food for a very long time
But not for long without water for the vine.

The universal one covered earth with two thirds water
Still not as miraculous as the gift of a daughter.
More bounty in the water than in the soil
How expressive is the holy one when we toil.

A green tree grows on coral with a great deal of salt
A desire of the eternal God who has no fault.

Evil One

There is duplicity but it does not have to be the way
Let those who use it be exposed and no longer have a say.

Accept that there are opposites but only in descriptive terms
Remember humanities reason and purpose are the children to confirm.

Not to give your God glory and honor by your actions and deeds
Will give the evil one the opportunity to steal part of your seed.

Good and bad, love and hate are for you to chose
We are given a voice and choice and hopefully never to lose.

Can there be just one side and not the other
As to choose to help the sister but not the brother.

Certainly there is evil on earth and that we know
But we can recognize the acts from the past for they did not grow.

Evil will never win or will it succeed
It refuses to leave because it keeps eating a part of some else's seed.

Family Of Man

Predjudice and discrimination like two sided knives
Solutions not found in the destruction of human lives.

What can be done when a difficult problem we have to bear?
In silence to ask our God for a solution; or at least to share.

Of all the battles from the pages of human history
None with so much Godly favor, as a family victory.

All nations and religions during the eons of time
God has always said; 'the children are mine'

Education of sons and daughters resides in the family of man
Thoughts, words and actions; so the child will understand.

Allow the child to expess itself and do not be cruel
Parents and adults also have to practice; 'the golden rule'.

Talk to them about both sides of each story
They may offer a third and bring forth glory.
