I took you into my arms,
to ask about tomorrow
But then you went and stole my heart,
from dreams of yesterday
Reaching deep inside my pain,
you took away the sorrow
All hurt now gone and future spun
—the present here to stay
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Turns To Song
The words all come together,
their meaning front to back
Like birds of common feather,
they follow the same tack
Existing for each other,
alone their context gone
All strength inside their union
—where memory turns to song
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Life's Contract
Borrow someone else’s truth…
but there’s one you need to own
Whose lease runs out as time grows short
—life’s contract yours alone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Reasons Sublime
Living in the present
past—future
combined
The excuses get
cornered
—reasons sublime
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Spirit Reclaimed
Crossing Montana for the first time…
everything was changed
My heart no longer my own
—my spirit there reclaimed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Today
Today was all you
wanted
The past now fraught
with pain
The hurt was set,
you could not forget
What our love
could not rename
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
Freed Of Sin
Can we ever know creation,
can we ever reach the source
Can knowledge of its power,
transcend this mortal course
Can we join in transformation,
as the old is new again
Is there really a salvation
—where the truth is freed of sin
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
From Heaven Bought
A prisoner of devotion,
a Saint indentured pure
The light now holds him captive,
on knees bent to the floor
His silence for a jailer,
his sentence now unlocked
With handcuffs loose and falling
—their key from heaven bought
(Las Vegas Nevada: January, 2017)
Deception
The Lies about tomorrow,
define all truth today
Deceived by joy and sorrow
—all promise gone astray
(Las Vegas Nevada- January, 2017)
