CONFESSION
Come to me my comely lass, Rest your head upon my breast. Caress my lips, my heart, my sash, Repair, and be at rest. You are a gem, a beauty, Your eyes true love unfold. You are inlaid with fealty, Your touch the feel of gold. I share no other moment, With anyone so dear. You clasp my cheeks and...

SEASONS' END
Rain falls on the plains and the valleys; The sun shines on the week and the strong. The moon bathes the streets and the alleys; Darkness tarries not very long. The ear of corn grows in the Springtime; The birds chirp all summer through. The tulips, scarlet and pristine, Glisten in the autumn dew....

PERSONALITY
Too oft we are so afraid, What tomorrow will bring; Too oft we retreat to the shade, Not let the sunlight in. Too oft we stay in the dark, Shut out the morning sun; Too oft we display a spark; Wilt that before day is done. Too oft we hesitate to say, What's true and what is right; Too oft we keep...

EPIPHANY
I fall from the mountain face. Stranded in the ditch below, Prostrate, in perceived disgrace, I discount the love of His grace. I stare at the stars above. Sedated with disgust and pain, Devoid of all courage and hope, I cursed at His name in vain. I listen as the wind whisks by; I feel the rustle...

ECSTASY
I was standing on the threshold, I saw you come by. I recalled our last meeting, Then calmly put out a sigh. The surf was so still, So beautiful the sky. The hour was so serene, That star in the east would not die. I marveled as you rumbled, Clear sounds that excite the soul. I whispered, perhaps...

SUCCESS
When I can't is not an option; When I will is not in question. When each sunset is a sunrise; When each scolding is an advice. When dissent is not negation; When an assent is not adulation. When the debris is not putrefaction; When inertia is a call to action. When a loss does not portend demise;...

FAITH
Sometimes time passes, You think you haven't done enough; Sometimes life's challenges Leave you squarely in the rough. Sometimes you try as hard as you can, You seem to fail at everything at hand. Take heart, friend, foe, or clan He will sustain thee, each, and everyone. The moonlight summons the...

Contribution
I shall not pass this way again. How then may I be remembered? Shall I make peace, alleviate pain? Shall I regret the chips I tendered? Any good that I can do, The young that I can inspire, To chart the world a better hue, For him to craft his own empire. Any kindness that I can show, The purpose...

My Purpose
O my God, my father, You are here with me today. Whether I'm good or I'm evil You listen while I pray. No matter where I wander, How far I go astray; You always take my hand, Lead to the right pathway. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, No clothes, no food, no stall; No matter what the danger, You...
