If the tide of life is rising,
will you stand to face the storm?
When you risk the fear of falling,
remember where you have come from.

You tell your heart to keep on carry on
though you never know where hope has gone.
You know the truth, you're born as champion
within your mental vision, you'll live the moment.

If it feels as if you're choking,
and despair is slowly growing,
embrace your faith, keep striving on,
Then you'll see your hopes, reborn!

Gentle Steps….

Gentle steps on their way to die,
Herod has decided only he shall rule.
They don’t speak out don’t even cry
this king knows no limit to being cruel.

Gentle steps, the Romans claim the earth,
conquering all before them as they plundered.
Formation warmongers, soldiers since birth,
were they really so good I’ve often wondered.

Gentle steps in the damp Scot’s weather,
red coats march as the people rebel.
good men shall die among the heather,
Culloden is looming, welcome to hell.

the snow falls
and every beautiful created
individual
reminds me
it will break
and shatter
melt
obscurity
in its totality

I lay and lay
the cold seeping
welcoming
the moisture
from each perfection
like a tear
kisses from heaven

the tether breaks
its delicate
pressure
parted

A lonely Vietnamese

These twenty passed something years
I stand as an isolated stooge
no one loved me
when in Vietnam
none loves even now
though I am out of it
somehow

where is God
O some one say
does he too not love
my way

but then each day
I get messages
come son allure
don't worry
you have no job only
I am as lonely
laying on times floor
