Colorwheel

It takes an array of experiences to develop the whole person.

Don't underestimate the power of a tear, heartache, solitude, rejection, adversity.

Often these are necessary developers of the hidden colors within...hues overshadowed by obvious varieties of red, blue and yellow, which can be the most radiant ones of all.

Embrace the wheel of colors-bright, dull, dark, light.

Embrace the rainbow, experience sight.

life looks nice on you

some people try on life
it doesn't seem to fit
the inseam is too long
it's too tight around the hips

on you though
life looks different
it hangs and falls just right

it's simple, sleek, comfortable
full of meaning, truth and light

you share your life with others
with warmth, grace, and care

you take time to love and know those
whose lives have been stripped bear

and so hold fast to this garment
of denim and royal blue

because my friend and lover
life looks nice on you

Release

I strive to be honest
when true is red, black, or gray

I strive to accept
the rain, the hail, the clear day

I strive to focus
on light, goodness, and love

I strive to let go
giving weight to God above

I strive to be me
whether tired, trodden, or blue

I strive to be more
striving less to please you

The Curse of Time

The curse of time
It makes me move
Out from the comfy
Cozy groove
Disrupting rhythm
Thought and care
Taking me to other
Elsewhere
I want to stay
I want to be
Forever here
And one with me
Oh curse of time
Eternal not
Be rid from here
You earthly plot!
