" As the heart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God. "
Wouldest thou answer me
as the heart, the beat,
a tear...a chuckle...fear...defeat..
that offers no relief,
the trials...false smiles
the thief who steals;
the stab, the pain, the rain
that makes me feel
half alive...half crazy....half satisfied
but not denied
threatens to break my stride
Help me to expect
to have hope rekindled,
my prayers remembered,
for the dry seasons in life do not last
because the deluge I face
will just as quickly
be my past
For as the flow of perpetual resistance
tackles the invincible persistence
of being knocked down
and almost drowned,
the result being literally picked up
and spiritually encouraged & backed up
into the road of subsistence
[Now that's what's up]
Help me to see
that reaching out for that unbreakable hold,
the strength in being told
the insistence with which I look up
to the clouds
and only reach down
for a scoop of Nature's gold,
Adam's ale,
H20,
Universal tea,
and that forgiveness lotion,
is understanding's potion
that helps all of us smooth along
out to a peaceful sea
It's just some more living,
some more giving
back and sharing
life's serum
If I can't keep up
wouldest thou please catch me up
help me to learn to total up
the difference between
what is meant from what is said,
what is important
and what should be the tail
and not the head
Just as streams running waters
cannot congeal,
what cannot be broken is what is true
Cleansing heals
love that flows
freely from the heart
that knows
'it cannot be frozen'
by adversity

ReplyDeleteI'm starting to really look forward to reading your work. It's always totally original and pushes me to think. I love the way you combine words in new patterns. It's like a work of art, just great. :))
ReplyDeleteMs Ag...thank you. I challenge myself to write out the box, because words just come to me, and they beg to be released, and I just pour them out. Glad you like the style I use these days....
