Somedays I don't want to write
Most days I don't know what to write
Today I force myself
My first attempt was poor
...

Birds bellow
Squirrels scamper
Flowers flourish
Sun shines
...

Sometimes I stare into the darkness
Seeing a past lost to the void of emptiness
Finding a future away from the bitterness
Freedom to shut away the indebtedness
...

There is change
There is thought
The mind becomes numb
The mind becomes heart
...

I am lost in the night
A haze of thought glowing bright
I hang in the darkness beaming through
A dot of hope glowing true
...

They say the grasses is greener on the other side
I've been there it is not
There is just the same as here
Here is just the same as there
...

I like poetry
You can break the rule of grammar
You can write a sentence without punctuation I wont stop you or will I
You, can put, way, too much! punctuation in a sentence
...

My God, my God you are more than my God.
You are The God!
I believe in you.
You are The Almighty
...

The wind outside howls
The deep groan of the lost
A false wale of the search for peace
The power fills every corner of the earth
...

A young man lives
His mother loves him
His father too
His siblings as well
...

In a field of yellow flowers underneath the sun
The earth lies dark and void
grass sprouts from the depths of the dirt
The dirt is memories of things long ago
...

It's strange to have a night of clouds
No stars or moon to see
No colorful sunset and no sunrise
There is nothing but a blanket of dark
...

Memorial Day is many things
A big race in Indianapolis
A big golf tournament in Columbus
Grilling and picnics
...

The earth could not hold the water
Its silent river overtook the banks
It grew into a mighty river
Churning itself into a mammoth river
...

I can dance in the sun
You can dance with me
Together in the bright sunlight
Blowing wind is our drum
...

The phone dances its normal trill
Click and swipe I unlock the screen
The message screams out
"Shots have been reported at West Middle School"
...

...

He is Risen
He is Risen Indeed
I have not loved Him
With my whole heart
...

My knees are bent
My hands are folded
My eyes are shut
My heart is hopeful
...

Born in poverty
Broken and innocent
Dead and alive
Adopted by Christ
...
