STRANGE BIRD

Lonely child
Distorted dream
Fictional engagement
Ripened smile
Piercing eyes
Mystical Elf
Thoughts
Forever lucid
Slicing through dark headwind
Circular
Then square
Transcendental journey
Roads that lead to nowhere
Snippets of redemption
Words
Unnecessary
Flowing
Just the same
Ominous reflection
Youth escapes me now
Rapid vacillation
Slow motion revolution
Hallucinations matter
Meaningful liaisons
Witness deep discomfort
Focus
On solutions
Verity
A strange bird
Realistic point of view

SPEAK OUT

Inflation
Degradation
Manipulation
Nuclear proliferation
Financial subrogation
Speak out
Or freak out
No longer
A mere silent observer
Disgusted
Amused
Depressed
Eyes of dismay
Watch such drama unfold
Token tools
To fight heinous invasion
Acts of kindness
Words of truth
Servant’s attitude
In humble toil
Adventure in the trenches
Where the true battle rages
Restless bones aflutter
Tribulation preparation
Power of Jesus Christ
His Majesty
Potent beyond description
Compelling
To slash the veil of doom
Goal of daily focus
With utmost sincerity
Look closely
Deceit surrounds us
Observe the shameful patterns
Resist
With vigorous audacity
Stand up for righteous principle
Defy
Fraudulent cattle prods
Regardless of the cost
Nothing here to lose
No human cost acceptable
To justify this soul sickness

MAGICAL TORNADO (For Pam)

“Stuck inside a twirl” said she
“Throwing off all dangers”
Magical tornado
Evade “unwanted things”
Prayer for her children
Daydreams sweet
Complex
Melancholy “ramble”
Thriving muse within
Smiles that brave her storied span
Dancing eyes
Sincere
Moist with magic recall
Lovely inner peace
A bond unequaled
Precious gift
Inspiration still
Sacred memories
In honor of her spirit
Forever young
Enchanting
My beautiful friend

SOUL NARCOTIC

Love while you can
Live life fiercely
Without hesitation
Balanced
Passionate
No regrets
Fleeting starburst
Mortal pain
Higher focus
Rejection
A sorry state of mind
Without substance
Cowardly demon indeed
Peaceful advent
Soul narcotic
Welcome home
My weary friend
