Joyous praise

Joyous praise
Our days are numbered
Old and young
Our hearts unencumbered
Grey birdless sky
Occasionally sighs
Night is falling
Signs around us
Gathered in rags and finery
Touching power raging on endlessly
Homeless streets, temperatures dropping
Nothing is stopping joyous praise
Crowds huddled as one
As praise moves from inside
Through heart mended fingers
Frozen minds thaw knowing joyous praise
Flowing through a quiet heat
Beating hearts heard on the street
Through alive eyes the vision is sweet
People walking on fire with joyous praise
Survive to pray another day
Giving people the power
In this, our finest hour

Energy sings electric
People start to move toward joyous praise
Better days to come
Sidewalk sympathy falls like dust
But joyous praise brings life
Reality reigns through the night
All is quiet, God is here
We are one
The poet falls silent; picks up her pen
A song filled with joyous praise

Children Rise

The songs in the clouds sing when they rain Cause of my serene and obscure brain What must God do to choose Who will win and who will lose? God bless the child that sees that moon Knowing that the sun will be still soon If the blues are in your way Lose yourself, find a different day If clouds in your eyes Are blinding you now Don't draw them in Find a way to give them out Through despair a seed will grow The darkness then will start to glow Use what you find underground Bring it out, pass it around What we take in today We can lose tomorrow To find a way past your sorrow Look into your neighbor's eyes Tomorrow realize some part of you Can and will grow Plant the seeds of Truth

Darkness cries for Light

Darkness cries for light Light comes shining through Abstract shadows come and go Hope is calling you A steady stream of people Call for light to come But while each hides a face from God The darkness blocks the sun Inside you blindness lingers It's fingers wrap around your soul You reach for the door Any way out Listen to God, to what you've been  told Light prevails while darkness dies Stop the madness, stop the lies Turn your face toward God and then The light will shine on you again
