I Sigh

Another one of those days
 

Seems nothing is going right

Drifting many different ways

Without any desire to fight


My back at rest upon a wall

The only thing left standing

Bracing me against the fall

My heart is contemplating

Amazing is the faithful guest

Always there shoring me up

As I am about to fail the test

He smiles and passes the cup

So many say there is no joy

The good times have past by

To this older man once a boy

Bowing my head to you, I sigh

A Quest for the Divine

We live our lives as lines of poetry

Brief descriptions of what others see
The upside, downside, inside and out
The victories, the failings and doubt

Crossing lines; at times being crossed
Making moves; not weighing the cost

Living as a captive and setting free
Those in bondage and seeking liberty

All the verses and countless rhymes
Pitching pennies, nickels and dimes

The upside, downside, inside and out
This is reality; what life is all about

We live our lives as lines of poetry
Praying in the end we will be standing

Life is a verse measured within time
Life is poetry, a quest for the Divine

The King of Comedy

 

He was a funny man, a very very funny man

Not a giant man, but he was larger than life

Oh, he made us laugh, really made us laugh

Such laughter, it brought tears to our eyes

 

Like the voice of endless graceful melodies

Expressions that brought us to our knees

Remember the early days of Mork and Mindy

He was the Robin; sweet king of comedy

 

Behind the joys of great fame and fortune

Realities of this life can spin out of control

Sometimes the walls around close you in

Take a toll; attempt rob-in...your very soul

 

Amidst the sudden tragedy and disbelief

The overwhelming sorrow and painful grief

This is a day that memories are made for

The day he bows, and we yell out for more

 

Like the voice of endless graceful melodies

Expressions that brought us to our knees

Remember the early days of Mork and Mindy

He was the Robin; sweet king of comedy

God's Miight

They fell with the fall of man

Have fallen every day since

From the saved and damned

The pauper and the prince

From the father and mother

From the sister and brother

From land to the shining sea

From the confined and free


The effect of pain and grief

From consolation and relief

In happy times and in sad

Forever present not a fad

So filled with lasting power

Within darkness and in light

Ceasing as heaven showers

Dissipate before God's Might

Is That What You See

We have all the answers

Yet, many questions persist

We proclaim to know it all

Wisdom is our greatest gift

We see through everything

With eyes that can not see

We are living the biggest lie

People, we've been deceived

We long for righteousness

While hammering our brother

We claim to be understanding

Because it gives us cover

We sing many songs of love

Never ever proclaiming peace

We say we are Christians

People...is that what you see?

Love Too

An eye for an eye

A tooth for a tooth
We heard it before

If they strike you

Turn your cheek
To give them more

Resist not the evil

Others do to you
Remember, love too

Your enemies

Your persecutors
Haters of the truth

If someone steals

A dollar from you
Reach out with two

Show compassion

If injustice loams
Like the children do

Strive to be perfect

Live the good news
In all things...Love Too

You're not here anymore

There's no communication
Empty chair inside the door
While a toll is being taken

I long to hear your advice

Wisdom of so many years
A whisper would be nice
Your voice to grace my ears

Reality is truly an awakening

So my soul does not despair
Though my heart is quaking
I feel your love is very near

Like many past conversations

When your insight came alive
I reach deep within my soul
