THE SHADE OF TWO FRIENDS

Two Eyes

To See,

One Soul,

One Heart .

One Light

One Dark.

Two Loves

Can be,

No Shade Apart.

Two Friends,

Can See,

Each Others

Heart.

Not one is Light,

Nor is Dark.

A Friend

Who sees you,

As you are.

One Soul

Your Soul,

Light or Dark?

Two Friends

In a World,

Not a Shade Apart.

ROOTS

If I keep my Roots

Right in the Earth

I'll know my birth

From where I came

How

I grow up to the sky

Branching out

To touch life

What I am

is where I came

To take myself

From where I've been

To place myself

above all things

Is to lose myself

and all that is

I must grow

From where I came

Go through life

Knowing what I am

How I grow

Be it tall or short

Or reach heights

I can not climb

Is not a measure

of what I am

To keep my Roots

From which I came

My strength

will be which I made

My weakness

not to see myself

For which my Roots

Have sown themselves.

THE CANVAS OF LIFE

One Stroke, One Color,

Not White, Brown ,or Yellow,

Black, and Red, are also True.

God's Hand,

A Multitude of Colors

Take not From This Canvas

Nor Try,

To Spread One Color

God Painted

Each One,

To Reflect The Other.

Each One

Painted, by His Hand.

Each One

Placed,

Throughout The Land.

God's Hand Painted,

One Color Mix.

A Poeatreeman

It is Darkness ,

Not Allowing you

To See The Light.

Only Light

Can Take You,

From Darkness.

The Shadow

of My Face

I Cannot Help

Yet

I Can Certainly

Help My Soul

For

it is Filled by

Me Myself

No

Other Can I Blame

The Reflections

looking back at Me

Like

the Shadow

For

it Covers

All My Being

Even unto Soul

The Reflection

of My Shadow

The Reflection

of Myself

The Reflection

Will Have

To All Face..

MY FACE WILL SHOW

THE SHADE I AM

YET MY SOUL

WILL COLOR ALL I AM

WHAT COLOR AM I

IF MY SOUL IS BLACK?

A WHITER SOUL

I HAVE NOT SEEN

FOR IT IS

NOT COLORED

BY HUMAN GENES

BUT HUMAN KINDNESS

BY HOW

WE TREAT

OUR FELLOW HUMANS.

TRIBUTE TO ROSA PARK GOD I AM FREE: Date of death: October 24, 2005
[CHAINS]

TRIBUTE TO ROSA PARK GOD I AM FREE

THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM

I Once
Stood Proud
On The Steps
Of Freedom.

While
The Flag
Was Being Raised

I Heard
The Anthem
Being Played

As I Stood
Upon The Steps

I
Hoped
All Country's

Would
Be Free

The Goal I Want,
Is not For Me

All Who Long
To Be Free

The Banner
I Hold
Is Earth's Own Soul

For
We Are One
Who Breathe Free

Let
The World
Breathe With Me

Then
We Can
All Breathe Free.

Dedicated To Freedom

All Who Seek,
The Golden Wings

To Soar
Through Heaven,
Upon The Wind.

Let
No Shackles
Be Imposed

Then
My Bonds
Will Be
Not Broken

I
Can Set
Freedom High

Where
It Will Take
To The Sky

Heaven!
Is Open
For The Ride

I
Can Fly
Free And High

Bound
By Heaven's
Openness

Feeling
Free
For
My Spirit's High

Soaring
Upwards
Through The Stars

Bound
By Heaven's
Open Sky.

A Poeatreeman

It Is Not
The Steps
To Bronze

Or The Steps
To Silver

Not
Even Gold

It Is The Steps
To The Soul

That Cries
For Freedom

Let
My Spirit
Not Be Chained

I Will Fly
Upon The Clouds

Free
As God
Would Have Me Now.

WHERE IS THE FLAG?

Where was the Flag

When people were in slavery?

Where was the Flag

When they held them in chains?

Where was the Flag

When they cried for Freedom?

Where was the Flag,

When they died for it all?

Where is the Flag

Wrapping them in sorrow?

Where is the Flag

Waving them off to war?

Where is the Flag

Who gives Freedom?

Where are the people

Whom serve the cause?

Where are the people

Who honor it all?

Where is God

Who Flies above all?

A Poeatreeman

Wrong does not change ,
because it's past
If people, have no respect
It is a cloth ,
blowing against the wind.
A SAD STATE OF HISTORY
TRUTH HAS SAID IT SO.

DEDICATED TO :Nick Vujicic SOMETHING MORE

NEVER FINISH

Never finish never ending

This quest to keep on going

Through the years and the days

Past beyond and I keep going

Towards eternity never ending

Searching time to find the start

Ending up to find I am beginning

Never ending is my start

Never finishing is my ending

Always ending where I began

Always starting with an ending

Never finishing even beyond....

A Poeatreeman

Time is a second,

eternity an hour

God is the start

that leads to a beginning

Eternity is an ending

that can end with God

Time is a second

when God gave me heart.

TO

Nick Vujicic

MY ONLY END

HOPE NOT TRAVELED

MY ONLY PRAYER

FAITH ;

WILL TAKES ME THERE.

SOMETHING MORE

IS HEAVEN'S DOOR

A WALK WITH DEATH

I walk

with Death

Each

day of Life

Knowing

it will be

Yet

I go on living

For Death

is not the end

The loss

would not

be living

Life

has its part

Death does too

God

opened

the door,

brought Me

on through

Until it closes

I will

walk with Him

For

God

gave Me

this moment

To walk with Him

For

when

the door closes

I will

be with Him again.

A THOUGHT!

It is not the hour

I will end

it is the end

I left

at the beginning

For

My start

was the end

My

end

was only beginning

A Poeatreeman

The Dark Side

of Life

is not Death

It is All The Shadows

You Cast On Life

All The Wrongs

You Never Made Right.

A Poet's Note

If I follow Myself

The

end will be in site

For

how far will I go

Before

the road ends?

TO KEEP THE FAITH;

FOR IN THE END;

My Shadow Knows

I was young

A long time ago

It was bad

Yea, real bad I know

She’s buried up there

Down deep in that hole

Know one else does

But my shadow knows

Dark secrets you pray

Disappear go away

Things that I’ve done

When I’ve come undone

Then out comes the sun

He’s beside you as one

It’s always been so

My shadow knows

Yes, my shadow knows

Chorus

He’s haunting me

And he’s taunting me

Reminding me

That I can’t break free

All the things I’ve done

All the misery

My shadow knows

Yes, my shadow knows

End

Please leave, I’m old

Can’t get warm always cold

Won’t go out to the sun

Can’t hide I can’t run

He’s always there

Knows where I went wrong

My shadow knows

Yes, my shadow knows

I’ve finally moved on

Praying peace I would know

Then I found out

My shadow’s my soul

Judgment then comes

He was there and he knows

My shadow knows

Yes, the shadow knows

THE OLD OAK TREE

FOR THEY'VE GROWN

WITH GRACE

AN OLD OAK TREE

You are

a Young

Flower

I am

An

Old

Oak

Tree

You are

Blossoming

While

I am

Withering

Away

I had my

Spring

When

I Blossomed

too

Yet

my Branches

are

not as New

My Roots

are Firm

Though

the Soil

is Loose

I will Fall Soon

be

at your feet

So Remember

when

I Stood

I

Tried

to be Straight

Perfect

I Was Not

For the Soil

was

not Great

I had my Falls

Limbs

were

Broken too

Yet

I Held Up

When Others

thought

I Would not

The Ground

is Opened

I must

Return to all

Shed no Tears

For

the Leaves

have

Finally Fallen.

Dedicated to Naomi Stansfield

A Soft Soul

A Poeatreeman

When I was

Young

I Tried

to be Straight

I Grew as Life

Would

have me Stand

Yet

I Stood Up

gave it a Hand

I Thank God

For

Letting me Sow

I had the Seasons

To Change and Grow.

A Poet’s Note

FORTITUDE

Do Not Say

Timber Yet

I Am Not

Ready To Fall

Do Not

Cut Me Down

For

I Stand Tall

If

You Want To Grow

Cut

No One Down

Then

You Will Stand Tall.
