THE MOON WAS GOLD

 

 

Thoughts in my mind are stuck!

(A beautiful girl – an old pick-up truck)

The night was young – the moon was gold!

Mountaintops covered from an April snow –

The windows were tinted with fog,

As we heard the sounds from a Bullfrog!

Soft music playing on the radio . . .

Our blood was rushing from head to toe!

Was it love or lust – how could I know?

Lost in time as moments unfold . . .

Some will call it luck or was it simply fate,

But passion is always better than hate!

Thoughts in my mind are stuck!

Of memories left in an old pick-up truck!

HOORAY

 

In the throes of time

All the things that come to mind –

Reasoning hasn’t come yet

Lost emotions stuck on “regret!”

Life can be a one-way street

Where ignorance and wisdom meet!

In truth, yesterday is gone . . .

Forget about right or wrong!

(Today is a new day)

I’m still alive – hooray!

There is no point in looking back –

Open the fridge – have a snack!

I must live for today,

And tomorrow won’t get in my way!

AMBIGUOUS

 

You say you love me,

But it’s your actions I see!

I understand things are complex,

But here I sit – what is next?

Words and actions have double meanings,

And how can I tell which way you’re leaning!

Love is just a word that you say . . .

Then you turn and look the other way!

It’s hard to figure out your intentions

Your words are vague – like directions!

You say you love me,

And I just need to let it be!

“I’ll address this sometime later,

See you later alligator.”

EVEN THE WIND

 

None will be silent,

None will be silent!

Even the wind, oh wind,

Hidden in the shadows,

Beneath the gray skies,

As the ground trembles

And no one cares.

 

But the truth lies in all of us,

Our names are unknown,

Not one, not one

On our lips, words spoken,

But who understands?

 

And issues are still unsolved,

But truth still outweighs a lie!

 

(no one cares anymore

And we will live and die alone.)

 

Be still, oh soul!

Cry, heart! Cry heart!

Tomorrow will come!

God will win!

God will win!

In the silence of time!

THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE

 

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning

Of knowledge!”

“The quest for truth begins with humility

And reverence for God.”

“Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

But knowledge is useless without love!

“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”

“To your faith comes goodness, and to

Goodness, knowledge.”

“I want their hearts to be encouraged and

Joined together in love, so that they may

“Have all the riches of assured

Understanding and have knowledge of

God’s mystery.”

“If I have the gift of prophecy and

Understanding all mysteries and all

Knowledge, and if I have the faith so that

I can move mountains but do not have love,

I am nothing.”

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him

Be the glory both now and to the day of

Eternity.”  Amen

FLOWERS ON THE WALL

 

Looking at the flowers on the wall

As I heard yesterday call . . .

Memories are somehow forgotten

Like apples on the ground rotten –

The storms of life now fade,

As time becomes another charade!

I stand and look over a corn field,

And this sadness won’t yield –

What I’ve done can’t be undone

The bell has already been rung!

I participated in it all . . .

And now, it’s a heartache I recall!

Looking at the flowers on the wall.

IT’S LIFE

 

The world will have to shake

Before people will ever awake!

Brainwashed, we all have become

Common sense has nowhere to run!

It’s not our fault – it’s all by design

(The powers to be) control our mind!

Our faces stuck in a cell phone

No creative thoughts of our own!

“It’s life,” we rationalize everything

Perfect excuses – the songs we sing!

Flying cars – hell we can’t wait –

No one cares about the pearly gate!

The world will have to shake

Before people will ever awake!
