A note to readers

I’m spending a little more time perfecting poems despite my busy schedule. They are like children produced from feelings. (almost three hundred) Often they need correction and perfection. Sometimes I just visit them. I have people requesting a book. About half are in a book formatted to publish but it all takes time. I am up to the challenge and am working on choosing what ones to put in a final draft. Input helps. Some of these are songs and I have purchased equipment to record. I want to get the gist captured myself before getting help. Anyone who has done this in the past knows how the inspiration can unintentionally be lost or diluted by others. Technology allows us grace and means to experiment with what is our heart. Hope your day is going well and don’t worry, absence of new stuff means I am working with the kids in other ways. 🙂 The best is yet to come!

The Boy

He saw her picture the other day

He miss that smile 
So many words left to say 
It shook him to his soul 
Go back and shake that boy! 
And remove the fear 
You won’t lose her, don’t be coy
Get into the car
Life turns out well anyways 
Except the missing part
Thoughts want too much pay
The heart gives no price
Searching for a solution
Focus home 
Minimize the confusion 
Help the boy
But he’s a man 

The Lowlands and the Heights

There’s an animal within us 
Who has its wants and desires
It wants to raise a happy family 
Important things to acquire
We must stand behind the plow 
And push it through the mire 
Security is the dream
Time is sold as to a buyer
Toil away in the bottomland 
Hoping for a little rest 
Run away for a while 
Return when you’re unstressed 

There’s a delight above it all 
Higher heights that can be reached 
Inspiration makes its home there 
Things that man can never teach

Hold on tight to those who help you
Reach a place your heart can soar
Release the muse dwelling in you
Help your spirit to explore 
We dare not fear the soaring heights
A flower yearns to reach the sun
Wanting to display its beauty
With roots in earth where life begun.
