My Fence
1-9-03

Beginning this here chapter
Was on an act of faith alone
As such can always be polished
Just as can any precious stone
Not sold for a price in the monetary sense
And don't get me wrong
For the reason to keep them out
I did not so build this fence
And still remains the mystery of the dark and light
And an extra coat of paint
Making it look just right
And I go on praying for the love
That I don't know that later I'll want
As such purpose is of above
And last night's words so haunt
Though the ghosts I meet in this hallway
Appear to be like a sweet memory
That I no longer mind....




Dedication In A Minor
1-9-03

It's time I play that anthem again
Just picked myself up the country western version
And to pray for a brother as I still have dreams to get out of this rut
And I plan my soon to be God sent excursion
And somehow I miss those whisperings I used to sip on under that overpass
I miss those oceans of emotions and keen senses of the scents of mown grass
And today I've come upon the hope that I will do it all again
And I so hand it all over and declare that it is up to the good Lord just when....




Dreamlike Docks
1-9-03

Praying for the path that God sets before me
The tools are all picked out of the box
And work all cut out for me
And boats all tied to dreamlike docks
And this dream hasn't quite hit me
As in such this state
Life as it is is easy to forget
And I'm caught up in my meditation
Of where I can be instead of here
And I no longer want to take it for granted
If I had just one resolution for this new year
And I owe it all to Jesus
Even if I don't know him very well
For I'm still learning
I always will be
And so I pray for the purpose here
And to climb out of this shell....
