Solitude Solitude, Oh, may I ever Rue The day I choose To leave You But don’t worry In my own time I will decide To rejoin My own kind In their world Above That land of man’s Lights & sounds But for now I’ll be here With only You On this quieter ground

Treads In Time
Treads in time
We all leave behind
I should like to be Sure
I am less
of the
problems
& more of the Cure!

Stumps of Glory Stumps of Glory On display All of what you might say Oh, what stories & of history You must have seen Rising still proud Among the leafy crowd You stand out Your voice still Clear & loud Of longevity, Paternity Firmly still there Younger ones May stare But will not dare To root you out Your core essences Still deep in a Blackened soil So, take pride In this your life I may pass & stare As your beauty Fills the blue airs Above my head To watch you Once again declare The eternal, ancient Triumphs of All Nature’s Glories! I got a chance to get on our river's greenway this morning. Hope you enjoy the photos & poem. Have a blessed day & Praise God!
Stuff
Plastic, metal, glass
Concrete poured
On a valuable earth
Struggling to survive.
Fast cars, faster planes,
Light-speed computers,
Stuff
Up to our necks.
Or maybe
Up to our hearts,
Lusting, lusting
More, more, more
We’re told we need
NEED
Stuff, stuff, stuff
To survive.
Garbage piles heaped,
All our stuff
Discarded, thrown away,
Destroyed forever
So we can have
More Stuff.
Physical we are for
Now
But more spirit
For the later
Stuff, stuff, stuff
Helps not with
The later of a
Different place
Another world which
does not care endlessly
about all our
Stuff
Chokehold It has me by the throat It sneers then gloats Slithers & slides Tightening its grip Around my neck, My heart, This Chokehold Teaching, always reaching To infect, detect My weaknesses It infers, deters Pulls, cajoles Will it never let go? No, it will not. If I wish this to stop, I must do it myself Stop this lusting, Discontinue the trusting In the consuming of Mere things, junk How many material Possessions Does it take to make One happy? While others starve Do I really have to be At the heart Of the world’s party? So I am trying to let go Guard my only soul Feed it As I try to resist Materialism’s temptation And shun the world’s Blasting horns.
Do Not Continue
Do not continue to lie
And give only half-truths
To me,
Pastor of today
You are supposed to be
God’s wisdom-filled sage
Do not continue to say
I may live as I please
Lusting after all the things
I only can touch & see
Even with all your degrees,
You should be on your knees
Leading the way
To a better day
Do not let, allow
The evil one to win
Lead us away from all
This world’s increasing sin
Another voice is screaming
More loudly every day
Telling me you’re
Leading the wrong way!
Stand up!
Be God’s man
Lead this country, our land
The way it’s supposed to go
His Son you MUST SHOW
If salvation will come
Before it’s too late
& many will be left knocking,
crying outside forever
The glory of God’s heavenly gates!
