Gone

In memory of Martha K. Newton and Amanda P. Newton


and then I looked around.....

I stepped back and breath
Taking each breath like there's no more.
The rush of memories flood my mind
The tears started to flow
And my heart heavy with...

Beautiful Faces

Beautiful faces
From every shade of color
From every span of the globe
From every walk of life
From every generation
From every faith,
From all types of places
From every nook and cranny
Of every place,
These are the beautiful faces
Of God's rain...

A World Without A Face

No smile
To smile back at you
to make you laugh
No eyes to see
That smile of yours.
No lips
No lips to say how I feel.

Imagine if you will
A world
A world without a face
A gesture
A notion or something
From you to say
How I...

With it's blue sky
The makings of a perfect

As I catch the sunny rays
Upon my face warm
On a Sunday afternoon for...

Aren't You Glad?: six feet under

Aren't you glad you're here today?
Instead of six feet underground
Not hearing those sad slow songs
Crying over you...

Society Says....

I am not pretty
I am not fat,
I am not tall enough,
Too short,
To thin,
My hair's not long enough
My hair's too short
Not pretty.
Not looking my best
I am ugly!
Society says
I am
Too this
I am not that
Society says
So they say to me ...

Untitled

Say it with soul
Say it loud
Then say it bold.
Don't let up
Just say it clear
Say it with soul.

Poets dream dreams
Under the summer skies
Summer sunset schemes
Leaving questions...

The race has won
Time be it no more
Answering God's Call
As the angels take me home
To my home on high
In the sky
My Lord in the...

Freedom Cry

memory of the children of South Africa


Freedom!
Lifted out of the ashes and into a river of hope
A river of joy
A river of peace.

Cry freedom!

Freedom!

As a country dies
And children die because of
What they believe...

00:13: Train Ride Inspiration

The night train moves
Quickly in the night's air
And the noise from the train
Keeps a steady beat lugging home.
I gotten a buzz of inspiration
Sweet inspiration from other poets
And their words expressed
To make me write these lines even now....

If my people could hear God's voice
And obey the voice of the Lord
For my people

And love the Lord.
To my people
I share my God to you
To my people

As Crazy As This Sound

Hey girl,
Are you thinking of me?
I am sure thinking of you
Even more and more
As the mood is set just right
And the night is cool as it can be
As you and I are snuggled
Up against each other so in...

Cloudy Day

Gray clouds
Casting skies
Painted over blue skies
Looking like suddenly rain
But I think God had other plans.
Somewhere in His big brain
He may do something else
To these dark skies
And transform it into
Maybe
Just maybe something...
