My Best Poem-Tweets This Week :

Pendulum swings
A continuing of things
& change (how I hate it!)
Will we ever be that again?
Or perhaps it is our ambition to be more?


At a point in darkness
scribbling on the wall
birthed the
& so what shall our typing thru the airwaves create there?


Am I the on your mind
 in the morning rigmarole?
 Or am I crammed behind the girl at work
 & the coffee house jerk?


He spat in the eye of
  Juggled the act of sobriety
Cared not for accolades of high society
& Lived on a Wink& a Whim


Your words slip in
Under my defenses
Pulling my forces from
To fight for the Motherland
This patriotism that is quicksand

Father

  Do I sense your eyes? High above the topaz sky Gently watching down With the gleaming eyes of a Father Upon this cursed & earthly ground? And how will you find it here? Shall you beam with pride? To see me try with all my might- To be better To be stronger Than I’ve been before. Or shall I disappoint my dearest one? A broken shell on humanity’s shore? Strewn about with the trash That pollutes our gem in space, A problem rather than a solution In this disillusioned place? See me- A tried & seasoned soldier A tired & weathered soul And find me worthy. Find me at peace- You don’t go fault finding, Nor my imperfections see. Grateful, That’s what I am. For what else should I be? His eyes, His gaze, His strong arm, And gentle grace- May they look on me.

I cannot nor do I desire To go this journey alongside you But I will stay beside you should you tire- I hope my prayers might muster up A bit of hope Strength from love- You are not alone.
