“To love
another person
is to see the
face of God.”

face
look to
fight to win
see what is ahead
confront

love is in the air
the atmosphere is pleasing
beautiful people
a gleeful wedding party
everyone has the feeling
.
Poem:
.
every thought is a prayer
a question or an answer to declare
no need to kneel beside the bed
close the eyes and clear the head
gratitude must be a part of the morning prayer
identifying, trying not to compare
challenging a faith that comes and goes
a soul that doubts what others propose
my whole life has been a wish and a prayer
the outcome, I deem, has been unfair
in God’s time all prayers are answered
like wildflowers his blessings scattered
it is alright to borrow someone else’s prayer
knowing that a prayer will go everywhere
some may receive its benefits, some may not
what is nice is that you gave them a thought
be careful what you pray for,
you might just get it

“What can be
explained
is not poetry.”

prose
not poems
stream of conscious
stoned hippies ruined poetry
meaningless

how fast is the mind
speed of light
to quick to forget

Poem:
.
they read the same paragraph
there were two different opinions
they saw the same photograph
neither had the same visions
who is to judge right or wrong
as long as nobody gets hurt
providing the price is just a song
given that the first course is dessert
how important is it anyhow
this too shall pass
does it make one raise the eyebrow
does it make you first in class
be tolerant, allow others to be right
be patient, prayers are answered in God’s time
be forgiving, be willing to give up the fight
be generous, brother, can you spare a dime
be the person God wants you to be
a soul that is happy, joyous and free.
