Bootes
1-24-12


In the sky tonight
So is painted a picture of the Herdsman
To yet behold with open eyes
Receptive to the truth
That still teaches all students
Of that which is sweet to the mind
Cleaving to the rugged rocks
Of a slope high and steep
Going back to work in lucid dreams
Of an uninterrupted sleep
With the vision to yet in God succeed
And trust that he will meet this need....


















Information Age
1-24-12


This is the generation for those whom seek
So I wish them well
With confidence to come back next week
Yet to humble this heart of mine
And assume a countenance mild and meek
Fitted with the jewels upon a neckless of jade
Going to places where love and peace will be made
And today I am what I am by God's grace and mercy
In a generation of great learning
Where much is revealed
When you incline an ear...










Straight From The Heart
1-31-12


Straight from the core
Of a heart contrite
I desire to reconcile
And make things right
Such are good intentions
Yet such needs to be put into action
As I request my portion of wisdom
In today's every interaction
And I live to see another day
Of spring like weather
At the tail end of the first month
Of the year of the dragon
Where I manage to remain faithful
In staying on my wagon...












Pitstop
1-31-12


I was instructed to write this poem
And get my pitstop
To review the daily news
For I have nothing yet much to lose
And everything to gain
In wanting to live my life through the struggle
As computers get their sleep
When mouse potatoes leave home for therapy
Of all good and evil
And black and white
No pun intended
As the voice within said
That I am strong
As I do research on the philosopher named Long
Where right will be made in time
All that is wrong...




















My Desire For Life
2-25-12


I want to do something different for a change
As I step out to catch the wind in my sails
To observe an untimely fallen leaf
Offbeat in its way
With no need to think of it
As an omen of death
I want to live my life a whole lot more
For what it is
As I dream again tonight
Of obtaining my favorite foods
I want the ability to do just this
And I want it now


















Classes At Home
5-17-12


Starting out in my review
Of the address of Moses
In the book of Deuteronomy
Determined today to have my portion
Of psychology with astronomy
Where there is plenty of work to be done
To set free the hands of those passing through
On the perimeter of the premises
Where grass is cut and weeds are pulled
As I sit at my table
Where coffee is sweetened and cooled
Where I will begin again
In this newfound integrity
Of balance and poise...










Another Game Day
5-17-12


Taking presumptuously to the hills
With coffee on an empty stomach again
Passing the day with sporting events
Where I take up my pipe and my pen
Conducting recording sessions in my hallway
Where it all went down three weeks ago
Providing the remembrance of an event
That increases my thankfulness in all things
Going willingly into the wilderness
To find the power that comes by fasting and prayer
In the muse of the realm wherein I dwell in this abode....
