Blue Ball Point
10-25-10

It is better to marry than to burn
But I abide single like Paul
So that I might learn
And I am happy just the way that I am here and today
For I am free to seek the Lord in my own way
Where singleness is a gift of its own
As the blue ball point will serve as a semiprecious stone
So I take out my pick and spade to loosen the earth and its stones
In order to find what I'm looking for
To know we can know peace even in this war...



I Need A Job
10-25-10

This life devoted to poetry and Scripture
Is of perfect peace and comfort
But God knows I need more to do with my time
And I need a job to draw from my well
And to write a more meaningful rhyme
I had a dream last night that I broke my sober streak
Yet in my waking life I still count the days like a fanatic and a freak
So I drink my decaf coffee like it's cough syrup
As still it is truth and wisdom that I seek...





Dark Day
10-25-10

It's a dark day
Soon time to turn on a light
But it's beautiful on the inside
Where in times between I laughed and cried
As the path is both narrow and wide
And I'm piping in some Floyd
To face the music that I seek not to avoid
It's a dark day
But I like it this way
I went to a wedding and got my free rum Coke
It didn't do a thing for me
It's a dark day
Yet the true light shines inside my spirit...
