POEM FROM 2001

"Words so clear
Thoughts so smart
Should they bring light
To what we can't see
Should they expose
What's in the dark

Words of love
Thoughts of giving
Do they brighten out future
Or judge  how we are living

Poem

Love After Love

By Derek Walcott
(1930 - )


The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If
she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy... Truth
is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth
suffering for.

Prayer

When I reach for the holy words. To be filled I move to quickly thru the gospels 
and the psalms

Have I been with you all this  time and still you do not know me?

The kingdom of god in within you

Luke and john preach the seeing of Christ in life today, for what if 
illumination were to grab your heart today and shine with love almighty s 
presence, would you be open to feel and see ?

So enter the psalms

For god alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him

Poerm

I pick up a book for a couple years ago,
Writing so deep I read them and they become me again

Ammends; was its own page that resignates so strongly I wait---

"What harm must I be forgiven in the name of love?

Is the question I ask
And the answer I write is;

Move aside the love and journey of another to complete my own.

Poem

Dear lord
I have faith u hold me now
And lead me where I need to be
Christ hear our prayer
Its for the children
For all the world beyond me

Let me be but a vessel of ur love
Let me shine that love with every sunrise
With every breathe I am blessed to take.

I lay down all my concerns to the moment to share what u have laid out for me, 
and those treasures are more than I can measure

Amen

prose

Eyes unclouded by knowing
I think into the wind 
And my face blows back and my braids feel ancient....

The sun, not quite up yet, I turn back on and breathe emotion, as the spirit of 
me moves or becomes me, 

Fill thy soul with oneness
Draw from the everlasting well of compassion
Peace and good will today !

prose

And I see myself,
I am the same
I didn't ask for a great love
Or six kids
And I never stopped the wishing
And look what is upon me,
I am the same.

Prose

Sunrise was beautiful but it was hard to stay silent..or find it...thw wind 
helps, I can not desern where its blowing, I know its there

At the tip of the island, where the  waters meet it rushes past my ears and I 
listen....
