Another Day in a Life

 
Portraits and Pictures
Red Skies and Dreamy Hillsides
Pickin' up daisies from a countryside
Yellows and Redbirds
fly byes with a song and a chirp chirp
Hellos and goodbyes
Paints another Day in a Life

 Raindrops and mountaintops
Some clouds pink puff like a pillow soft
echoes of waterfalls follows way down Hillwalls
Bottoms call
a Forest tree's tall
The clouds cast a shadow
RedRocks on Cliffhops
a Stone, a Pond, a Ripple
a Beckoning Breeze
a listening tree leaf
Paints another Day in a Life

 Love lends peace
found hope in certain circles
Joy in times blend in real life Perils
Created by Giving
Givin' life by the Giver
God in All paints this Perfect Picture

Oceanbreaks
a Horizons lover
Brokenwaves tossed by windcaves
a shorline return
Grey streaks with light beams
a skies almost eternal pictures view
Sandprints of footsteps
 of people like us to paint
Seaguls and lonely Peoples
Place a moment in their day
to Know and to be Still
as God Paints another Day in a Life.

Love Lends Peace
found hope in certain circles
Joy in times blend in real life Perils
Created by giving
Givin life by the giver
God in all Paints this Perfect Picture.

Picture I drew in 1990

 

  Heavily influenced at the time ~~

Go Figure!

This is a special poem

 I wrote this specifically
with a song in mind

A Dan Fogelberg song

To insert my words into a song
is
rare for me to do...

...but "Loose Ends"
is very inspiring musically

Finding and Reaching

Finding a light in darkness
chasing a river that flows
anywhere I know comfort that follows
leads me right to your front door.

Tempting the snare of a pleasure
But walking away I should run
Every step I have stumbled and swallowed
every moment I am alone.

Without you I seem like a better man
without you I know I can stand
But the changes I forsake to mirror your embrace
that this lonely mind never could afford

So let the river that flows grow more shallow
till it bleeds into the seas and dispose
the waste I create for a glimpse of your face
to drown my already sinking soul.

Reaching for your fingers in dying
suspended alone from a thread
it tares into my flesh and returns me to death
Lord I am full of the hunger of being alone

I have wandered and cried and in You I confide
to return a life into this empty soul.

 

 

 
When I Think of You

In a day, thoughts of you to my delight invade.
In a dream, our eyes are spoken words.
Our skin collide and fuse in darkness,
and in my heart are both weeping and conspiring
to seduce the weakness in your heart for me.
How long must I sleep in solitude?
Turning in my bed, thinking of the night
I would be sharing it with you.
Confiding with the light of the moon,
Does she feel the same for me too?

In my fantasy,
No other completes my liquid desire.
You drink me from the warming rays of glowing fire.
And I taste of your lips the sweetness of your lusting,
of something we both could dare never swallow.
For poison lamenting in our breath,
the savoring of our haste,
and the wrestling of our tongues,
for the prize simply wanting you..................No!
Of needing you more!!

In my love, comes both grief with triumph,
and sickness with healing.
For time to me and you is like a ravenous demon,
and we are his food.
Devouring each second we claim to be ours.
Leaving us with just kisses and words that end with goodbye.

My Love once again denied.

 

 

I wrote this with a
Lovely Blonde Co-worker
in mind

Whoa!



I don't mind saying,

 sometimes I like to delve into only

 surface at times

but

the Deep is where I get my inspirations...

                ...the heart is my fickle muse!

A picture I drew in the summer of 1990

when the pain and the paper meet

 

 had only one pair of eyes to Model from...

...the Mirror!

Something New

He arises, he is a child.
to walk another step is to learn a different word today.
And to climb another stair to him is something new.

He heard sounds from behind.
He looks around and smiles.
He is touched be a strangers hand,
and held with arms from another mother.
Warm though different he knows love.
Comfort as plentiful and as strange, he is a child.
He is something new.

What is this?
I have seen nothing else.
Hunger and hurt,
I need help!
Take me into your arms,
You are mine too.
Love me and Hold me!
How can I say I need you?

He cries, he is a child.
To live another year to him means so little.
Seriousness is tough when your only five.
He believes all is truth.
He hides nothing where honesty cannot be hid.
Two days at home, five days at school.
Learning isn't everything, after all,
this is something new.

He leaves, He's your child.
In you he will never leave.
Things are not the same, life has changed.
Can't go this way, and can't go that way.
Everything he has leaves him with nothing of his own.
He knows it won't be so easy living alone.
It's Okay, He's still your child.
After all to him, Leaving is something new.

What is this?
I have seen nothing else.
Hunger and hurt
I need help.
Take me into your arms,
You are mine too.
Love me and hold me!
How can I say I need you?

 

 

This was written for my mother

 

My younger brother 

going through hard times 

caused her great pain

 

This was my small way 

of 

comforting that pain

 

LER

 

 

This was written on an airplane ride
from KC to AZ in 1995...

     ...looking out the window

         ...seeing the smallness of things 

Freaked me out!

You Lord

 

You Lord
saw the mountains rise
Your Hand held its peak
as Your fingers touched the grass in the field,
and rippled the waters in the seas with Your breath.

You Lord
raised the pastures of barley
and wheat with your Lips
and spoke and they grew.

You my Lord
with your eyes saw the light of the sun
reflect the earths oceans below,
And Smiled!

You Lord
fed the deer, the bird and the sea creatures
with the abundance you provide,
and they multiplied.

You Lord
saw fit the establish Your Throne on High,
and make known Your Awesome Love to us.

You Lord
became man and died for us.
Your Grace became a bridge for us
to cross and live.

You Oh Lord
deserve my praise and my Worship,
and my thanksgiving.

You my Lord I fear.

You alone I desire.

You Lord I love and accept.

And You Lord as my portion, my Cup.
