The arrogant lover.The healed who doesn't want to recover.The protector who chooses to cower.The clinched pain gone to sour.Joy that isn't safe to express.Secret kept, not to confess.Conviction without test.A wrong not forgiven.A wave not ridden.Last chance, taken one day too late.Love trusted to fate.The absent father.Anger in the tender moment.Injustice without opponent.Sinner without atonement.Traveler, alone sent.A heart not pursued.The…
“The Color On Life’s Canvas”
Pancakes in an old diner.Kind eyes.Direction coming into focus.Holding my girl against me, and feeling her fluttering heart.Being cherished simply for who I am.Playing with her hair.Peace in the middle of the storm.A drive as the leaves turn.Dancing at a wedding.Serving.The first steps as open arms await.Dialing that last number, for that first call.Learning her story.Watching…
Conversations With My Four Year Old World Changer
This morning at breakfast, Abe looked up and said, “Dad, you know that I am going to kill Satan someday?” “How will you do that, Buddy?”, I replied with full confidence that he had a plan. He then started praying, “God, when I get a little bigger, will you help me be able to kill…
“A Coach’s Expectation”
It doesn't matter who you can fool.It doesn't matter what kind of reputation you have built.It doesn't matter who you are when you are on stage.It doesn't matter who you play.It doesn't matter how much money you have.It doesn't matter who your parents are.It doesn't matter how lovely of a mirage you paint.It doesn't matter…
“Where Does It Leave A Man”
Where does it leave a man, when he is as afraid to truly live, as he is to truly die?Where does it leave a man when he chooses to believe he just became, rather than from the painter of the sky?Where does it leave a man when he casts the first stone, when he should…
Letter To My Brother As He Left For War
"The Only Love Some Will Ever See"It takes a hero to say, don't send them, send me.It takes a hero to jump into the fire, for someone else to be free.It takes a hero.Heavy hearted for the memories we will not make these coming years.Anticipating the picture to be painted after the tears.Filled with excitement,…
“For Whom I Cry”
I grieve for the eyes that won't let the Healer let them see. I grieve for the prisoner who chooses not to be free. I grieve for morality that thinly becomes no more. I grieve for the ignorant man, whose reality is lore. I grieve for the heart, that if not changed will never mend.…
I’m In The Way
In my dreaded silence, I listened to the Creator of the universe. This is what He patiently revealed.I often tend to have deeper faith in the smaller, accepted, and in the predictable miracles of the everyday. The ones that I take for granted and often don't even recognize as such. I find myself "trusting" and "believing"…
Yet to Live
I do not fear, but I ponder.I dream of the future, and all of its' wonder.If I choose to worry today, of all the pains yet to come,I will miss all the moments of today, and what will I become?Half the smiles of tomorrow lie, in the mystery of today.Half the tears of tomorrow will…
Dying to Live
Are you living to die? Are you dying to live?Are you chasing the gods, that have nothing to give?Are you loving to hate? Are you hating to love?Are you becoming the one, you were always afraid of?Are you lost in the dark?Are you waiting to be found in the light?Are you afraid of what, the day will…
