Day Jay
10-7-10

I seem to have been delivered
From many of my trials
For I suppose that God intends for me to live my life
Where I walk around the neighborhood
with singing and smiles
As I learn to walk in love
And renounce all discord and strife
Benefitting from the sunlight
That will fade to beautiful darkness soon
I wasn't out there to find somebody
For I was in quest to prove
That I am happy with what I am
I seem to tread in mud much more shallow
So that I can serve much better with what I've got....




Slept In Again
10-8-10

Woke up too late once again
But God knows I needed the rest
I was up last night with coughing spells
Hoping to be healed of this so that I can do my best
So I listen to John Bonham's drum solo
To wonder where can he be right now
Poetically I seem to have backslidden
So I just ramble on...





My Past Of Notoriety
10-8-10

I made peace with my past of notoriety
God gave me a thousand second chances at life
They could have killed me for the things I said
But they knew that I could change my ways
O, all of such hate
Following the day I have shaved my pale pate
I must have had twenty or more pseudonyms
In the days before I would consider the singing of hymns
It wasn't prejudice
It was just envy
I had it going for me
But I failed to express my gratitude
Yet it was all part of the growing...





I Need Not Forget
10-8-10

Yes, for the hundredth time
I will read the epistle
Where still blowing in the wind
Is the calyx of the dandelion and the thistle
Glad that my cough has subsided
In where with my gratitude I have confided
And I see my memories both good and bad as my treasure
For I have much I can write about
These should not be forgotten years
As I learn to appreciate my liver and my sour kruet
Maturing in my palate and refined in my taste
Learning how to not make haste.....
