His Praise

My Heart doth magnify his name
I offer up his praise
To push back the darkness
And let in the rays
Now kneeling in the big church
In this manner there for
I pray unto thee
To give to him my sins
End all my destruction

Highway

When the engraven lines
Of the 'highway '
See you....
War against the whirl.
In the rolling 'tires '.
Among the living
You are a traveler.
Let praise work be said,
Be strong in your journy.
The sun shines to the blind.

Waltz

On toes of silence
The music waltzes
Fingers intertwined
From a famous recital
Frost
Cold and holding
Giving My first winter lips
Not able to feel the numbness
Cracks start from a smile
Breaking the ice in my soul
Kisses carried away upon a loving
Breeze

Giving my share

Life is too short
So many thought
So many asperations
So many dreams
That have never seen the light
Always eager
It seems
To live before the night
Life is short
It teaches me to give...
My tallents I have...
No price I paid
For I Gladly give a hundredfold.

Message

Send me a post card
Oh please
Words out in the open
So all can see
Kinds you always want to say
Not hiddened in away way
What ever you tell to me
Probally won't matter
Only to me and no other
Cards are greetings
Anyone can read
Personal messages
Only for me.

Noisy Geese

As the pink dawn rose
Over the mud flats
A serenity unmached

The glassy surface
Becoming a mirrior

For the rising hills
Its solitary wavering

From the noisy conversation
Broken down silence
By the 'Geese'
Waking from the
Roosting night
Ruffled feathers
Setting flight.

Life

To see in everyone I met
My little struggling self,

Always trying to do its best
Ever trusting who we are
Every day for us something new
Open minded for a diffrent view

Now never caring for what they new
This key of life I did forget
Upon a dusty shelf
Now it rests.

My Dream World

I build my castles every day....
And tear them down, again in such a way,
And it is quite a wondrous way to play,
When life is hard and full of pain,
I have my world..
My very, very own,
Where I just love to be alone,
For there I sit without a care
And float upon thin, thin air..

Love Pearls

Sweetness, Young and fair
Let all your beauty share
May I touch your silky hem

Looks of Pearls
In the dew
Concieved within your light
You smile
At approach of night
Introducing me to a Kiss
Thirsting for your lips
Pressed against, , , , ,

The clock now has rung

The day is now begun.

Rest

There you were laying
Not making a sound
I was watching you
While you were sleeping
Then All the commotion
Streaching out inside
My brain
In the uncovered
Blackness, of ink creeping
And my written words streaking through
My falling tears,
Outside people were talking
My thoughts became on fire
