Imagine you're in heaven
It's easy if you try
With hell below us
Above us only Christ
...
To praise the Lord is good.
For praise is communion with God.
For praise heals the heart and soul.
For praise is right, for the Lamb of God is worthy of it.
...
May you
May you see each person as made in the image of God.
May you share your blessings with others.

"What is success? "
I asked the cow.
"Munch on green grass,
My tasty chow."

On the Tracks
The New York millionaires have fled to Rome,
The West Coast billionaires take to the air,
...
"Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy? "
Benjamin Franklin: "A Republic, if you can keep it." (1787)

At the Philistines' Temple
I used to lead the Jews, you understand?
Today a servant leads me by the hand,
I'm sightless and you lead me to perform

I began poetry as a teenager in love and wrote lots of stuff that I hope nobody ever sees. I've stuck with it and developed my craft through the years. I studied Shakespeare in England, which was inspirational, and took a course on Milton's Paradise Lost, which inspired me, too. I practice law, which is gratifying in its own way, but I like to keep up with poetry because it can bring insight and clarity and beauty to your life.)
Imagine You're In Heaven
Imagine you're in heaven
It's easy if you try
With hell below us
Above us only Christ
Imagine many people living for the Way
Imagine there's tight borders
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
When the saints come marching through
Imagine all the people living life in peace,
You know that Christ is the Redeemer
And He's the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And we will see the living Son
Imagine joyful worship
A world with peace and love
No sin, no greed, no hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine many people sharing the holy Word
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the Body will be as one
~Day Williams
Poetry matches the guts and sinews of language to emotions that are inarticulable in other art forms.
Time gnaws at your heart and bones, and you must fight back with truth, justice, and beauty.
Dive into the Holy Spirit's well, for His treasure is endless.
