Gravel
8-11-03

In another dream of adversity and peril
So there was a breach of false witnesses
And white lies spoken in indifference
For the want of a fresh peach
But we will walk in these dark alleys
And learn from trial and error
Until one day learn that only this Sprit can teach
And it is of a truth that we want them to want what we have
As in my zeal and passion
These layers of ardor and heat
Each day I so caress
And its another dream of travel
With no clue on the side of the road
Save stone and gravel
As pebbles aside so we toss
As we'll proceed with acceptance
With some gain and some loss
As we choose to see the donut's icing
Opposed to dwelling on the hole
As life from here on out will have no end
Eternal will be the nature of such a soul....





I'm Just A Poet
8-11-03

And still I wonder just how
We can tell whether or not
We made it out into our wilderness
As now that we are free
We are to love the stranger
For we were once strangers in bondage
And these people you look down upon
Are not to be respected
No more, no less
But I am not God
And I am not one to say
I'm just a poet so ordained
To write, meditate and pray
And my prize of what is claimed
Verses and written pages
As my feasts consists of my rewards
Of these writer's rages
And I fester up the determination
To put some miles behind me
And I believe I will be up for quite awhile
So never mind me
I do what I do
With humble pens of black and blue
And so I wait patiently
In hopes that this Spirit of truth will find me....
