Untitled

I was on my way
happy, or so I thought.
Had my plans and where I wanted 2 go.
You Had Your plans 2
But I was not Hearing that.
You pursued me and touched me.
My inner being - You spoke.
My Questions - You answered.
My Self Consciousness - You
gave me Confidence.
Shown me I am Worthy.
Loved me Unconditionally.
Watched Me as I slept.
Shielded Me when I knew No Better.
Encouraged Me when I felt like fainting.
Thought of Me - Chastised Me - Covered Me
My Friend. My Comforter. My Peace.
2 You I am Thankful.*

A Dream Deferred

I thought I'd post one of favorite poems, A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore-- And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

The Stalker

Is it - possible - to be - obsessed - with You - ?
To come After You - Pursue You - To Seek You
i think about You all the time.
my mind - Perpetually on You.
Desiring to Spend time
with You - loving on You.
How to please You - don't want You Discontented.
my first thoughts - in the Morning -
my final thoughts at Night -- on You
wanting - more of Your Love.
now that i've tasted - i yearn for more
Never want to Leave You - or - Forsake You.
my supplication -
i humbly come
before the Throne
to ask for You
to Pervade
me with
Your Love.*

The Artist

As i canvass Your Work
and meditate on Your Artistry
i take note of Your Wondrous Creations.
No artist in History has duplicated
Your Brilliance...and...i don't
believe one ever will.
From the Splendor of a cascading
waterfall -
to a mountain majestic...
Your Brush strokes and sculpting are
plainly visible.
a zebra's stripes, a leaf's design, a spider's web -
a fingerprint.
The earth is Your Canvas,
i am Your Clay,
mold me into Your Image.*

The Wind

i go along my Path with a sense of knowing and
contentment...
Happy.
because i've finally found my Way.
and swiftly here comes the Wind.
i'm devastated, as i watch my Plans and
Preparations rip and tear
as they're blown away.
angry...confused...
i struggle to piece together this puzzle
called "My Life".
oriented...reassured...
i realize this Wind is for me, not
against me.
Though it seems i'm tossed to and fro
disoriented.
not knowing which Way to go
i've learned to Move with the Wind.*
