When Father Died

I turned away the Lord, on father’s dying day For all that I adored He quickly took away And that became the day, so overcome with pain I shouted at the Lord And cursed his name in vain “What reason can you give for taking father’s breath?” “I never will forgive” “Not once before my…

The Melody Of Life

I remember when my ears could hear Reverberating in the distant fall The melody of life aloud and clear And I could feel the rhythm of it all In everything I saw and all around I felt this inner beauty in my heart Giving me a feeling so profound That earth was but a canvas…

Imminent Release

How hopeless is the man who lives alone And only yearns for that which he creates From stories wrapped in fantasies unknown To dreams in which he revels and awaits And how is he to venture from the hole He dug when all the world couldn’t see The darkness that was burdening his soul And…
