When darkness dims my spirit's light, And shadows seem to hide what's bright, I gather strength from deep within, Determined that my hope will win. My weary heart begins to knit, Its broken pieces start to fit, With courage rising, firm and strong, Rewriting pain's discordant song. Emotions entangled and constrained, Slowly loosen, fears now chained, I breathe new life into my soul, Embracing healing as my goal. These wou...

In chambers dark where shadows creep, Where troubled thoughts refuse to sleep, The mind unwinds its tangled thread, Releasing burdens long unsaid, Each whispered word, a gentle balm, Restoring inner peace and calm, The wounds of silence slowly heal, As hidden truths begin to feel, Emerging light dispels the night, Embracing hope's resplendent might.

In shadows of doubt where fears take flight, I choose to embrace my inner light. Worries that whisper and troubles that bind, Dissolve like mist before a resolute mind. Negativity's chains I now release, Welcoming courage, discovering peace. The battles within begin to subside, As confidence rises with newfound pride. Liberated spirit, no longer confined, True freedom emerges from deep in my mind.

In moments fraught with worry's might, I choose to set my spirit aright. The burdens that I long have borne, Are gently from my shoulders torn. No more shall anxious thoughts consume The precious hours that softly bloom. I breathe in peace, exhale the strain, And let tranquility remain. My heart now dances, free and clear, Embracing joy both far and near. We should all consciously choose to release stress and decide to ha...

The Devils Hunt Sit ye lad And have a drink And buy a pint for me. I'll tell ye a tale as black as ink Of my last trip to sea Have ye heard o' the Essex lad? Perhaps ye heard the tale? She was a grand and stately ship, Stout of mast and sail. Aye the Essex was a mighty ship And of her we did regale And on her decks we sailed the sea to hunt the great sperm whale We set out from the grey waters off Nantucket sound And made...

In desert’s barren, scorching light, The Tempter came in shadowed might, To Christ alone, no fruit to yield, He stood as Eden’s fate revealed. The serpent’s hiss then echoed clear, In Eden’s garden, whispered near, To Eve and Adam’s fragile trust, The taste of sin would turn to dust. Christ faced the thirst, the hunger’s sting, While Satan’s words would promise kings, A kingdom vast if He would bow, Yet Christ refused the...

It’s hard driving a hundred miles with you on my mind It’s difficult to keep focus and leave the road behind It’s hard driving a hundred miles with you on my mind Every song on the radio just reminds me in kind. I can’t wait to hear your laughter To see that smile break through I can’t wait for the moment When I’m finally next to you. I’ll put my words into meaning As my arms pull you near But if you try to hide your joy...

In Kingston upon Hull, where the Humber flows wide, Dockside lamps used to flicker above cobblestones slick with salt, Trawler men gathered—silhouettes against the glow, Hearts steeled for the Arctic’s hungry halt. With masts iced in frost they cast off at dawn, Hands numb but practiced, eyes fixed on the horizon’s line, With prayers on their lips for fair seas and full nets, They sailed where the polar winds intertwined....

They gather in the grooves, soft and unseen, A chorus of echoes where thoughts have been. A flicker, a murmur, a doubtful refrain, A whisper of truth, beneath the strain. One hums of longing, of futures untold, Another recalls the missteps of growing old. Change the world!—Or get back on track! Feed your ambition!—Or maybe have a snack? You're a genius!—You haven't a clue! Everything's fine!—You're doomed, you're through!...

No one ever sees who and what I am. For I belong to the night, to shadows, to things unseen; The world of curves and strings and little shiny things. I do not belong among humans for I am not one. Free me from my earthly bounds Let me find my home. Though I do not know where that is Or even if such a thing exists I am older than the universe; And the beginning of time itself Something nameless, something ethereal. I am ju...

a sweet scent of the willow near slender-leaved Cattails surround the silent pond of the golden dawn– Mourning Doves nostalgically “coo” in the whispering breeze of nature's wishing well.

I was walking on a forest path one cool autumn evening when I heard a fluttering sound worth investigating. I peeked into a small clearing amazed by what I could see thousands of Monarch butterflies clinging to the trees. Wings of orange and black fluttering in the air amongst the pine tree branches so captivating and rare. I could not believe my eyes such a surprising sight it was thousands of Monarch butterflies then sc...

I could have painted these pages with our picturesque potential Quivering with each written word as if it were a brushstroke ever so essential Carefully crafting every artistically assembled prose without a single exhale Sweat would have trickled down my brow as I ensured every meticulous detail Painstakingly placing words on parchment as if it were a canvas Sentimentally sketching each and every raw element of our souls,...

Play for me your unwritten melody Be authentic as you tickle the ivory Reveal yourself with each note unabashedly Entrance me with your musical honesty Play for me haphazardly Free yourself from the confines of conventionality Sing your reality off-key Hypnotize me with raw poetry Play for me your harmonious art Worry not if you’re witty or smart Worry not if you do not sound like Mozart Simply strum the strings of your h...
