It Is Possible

'Hey?
Aren't you...?'

'No!'

'Do you know who you are?'

'Sometimes I do.
And there are times I don't.
The only thing I know right now,
Is where I'm going.'

'Where are you going?'

'Home.
Or back to my apartment.
I was told years...

Soul Cannibalism

One day my reality was harshly changed. It's like my mind was awoken and I learned to see things for what they really are. We have no excuses for this cold world. There's more then enough to go around to everyone. Why is there a single child...

Claudia

You are a special graduate,
With eighteen-years of charm!
I pray that God will never let
You come to any harm!

You have so many plans to fill;
Your journey has begun
To seek and find the kind of thrills
Where sadness will be "None"!

And...

The rags picker boy.

The rags picker boy.

I saw a boy of twelve or thirteen,
picking up rags from the dumps.
He was scerching among the dirts
as if scrounging some gold coins.

I came to know,
he was living in a slum.
Where light peeped hardly,
in the damp...

The country fair.

The country fair.

It's so noisy at the fair, but all my friends are here. There's a girl down the aisle; she turns to me and smiles. As I find her hidden note, I can hear the word she wrote. So we go under the stairs, and she gives me a glare. We...

Soccer

You have to have a rock-hard defense.
England 1966.
With defensive triangle
With right inside defense and left side defense
and center half playing right in front of them
playing defense first.
A goalkeeper who is sound and doesn’t flinch...

One Love, One Union

One Love, One Union
By Nancy Rodriquez

We should be one love, one Union, the only one to think of, we came into fruition, and for a time it was bliss, in separation all is missed,
Your roaming eye caused us to sink, it poisoned our dreams we...

Over the Hills and over the Plain

I remember the times of being free,
My wee back legs would carry me,
Over the hills and over the plain,
Oh, I wish I could have those times again.

For my wee back legs, they went downhill,
And oh it was such a bitter pill,
Over the hills and...

A Man of God

In robes of faith, he walks the earth
a beacon bright, a beacon true.
With every step, he spreads his worth
guiding souls, both old and new.
His words, like rivers, flow with grace
Carrying hope through troubled lands.
In every heart, he finds...

Divine Rising

I see you
I feel you!
And
Hear you!

Those are words of comfort, and I am hurt! Hurt that I must feel it. Sad that I must feel empty of light. Empty of compassion, and empty of purpose, but only for a moment, only for a little moment.

You...

To Serve my country

As I often do I think about and remember my Shipmates I served with the ones still alive and those I've lost. There was a great togetherness as we served side by side that can't be duplicated. There never was a...
