the Garden of Even
there once was a Village
that had a Garden
where nothing but Love ever grew
the Fruits were Divine
what was mine was thine
this was what everyone knew
and then came a thought
which some sadly bought
that i was different from you
and to all of dismay
came forth the day
when this paradigm then became true
the children were… Continue

sitting by the Road
i sit here by the side of the Road
watching all the “Passer-bys”
i contemplate their destinations
and all their reasons “why”
we appear to be ‘migratory souls’
all seeking for some place to arrive
looking for a temporary belonging
some walk, some dream, some drive
some seem pressed and anxious
their lives stuck in a ‘rush mode’
me, i am just… Continue

tommy
can tommy come out to play
can tommy come out today
that we can recreate
before we procreate
let beauty be our way
can mary please come out
with out her fears and doubt
let all girls and boys
embrace their joys
let our beauty come about
can johnny come play with me
in the gardens of the free
where we believe
in what’s conceived
will come… Continue

my box
why should i define myself
why should i live in a box
to deliberately exist within a room
where i have welded the locks
no, i like a life without walls
where i can truly live free
where i can indulge the possibilities
and be all that i can be
the finality of my reality
is i can speak life as i choose
you may object, but i say what the heck
what have i… Continue

“BE” all you can Be
i am consciously inhibited
by my own design
i realize my limitations
are all within my mind
i care not for fetters
or the fences about
so i challenge all doctrines
and my fears found in doubt
but i do somehow realize
what’s dark does hold treasures
what once was a taboo
has transmuted to pleasures
but that is not to… Continue

Since today marks the actual birth date of Dr. King, i thought I'd leave the following...
Excerpt From a Poem by L.M. Ross
I marched because
My worthiness was
Shunned. I marched because
A Change
Had to come.
I marched because
A man named
Martin came to
Realign my spine,
And re-ignited
My flame…
And I marched
For me, and
My ancestors,
In Freedom's name.
I marched
And my flame
Sustained the jets
Of water hoses.
I marched
Against the fury of
Those voices
Screaming "NO!"
I marched and
I marched, because
The dictates of
Righteousness
Told me so…
Happy Birthday Dr. King... because of YOU, the flame grows Taller!
Snatch JOY with Freedom's Grip!
** It seems that mere days before Barack Obama takes the office of President of United States, a part of the dream for freedom and equality has finally been realized. Somewhere, I just know Martin must be smiling.
Snatch JOY!
One.

I wish you
Glad tidings
Idyllic writings &
Spirit reflections upon
The reason for the season.
I wish you
White snow
Fresh mistletoe
Well-loved faces
And trees all aglow.
I wish you Peace of mind,
And signs of a Miracle.
And most of all,
I wish love.
Happy Holidays to you & yours!
Snatch JOY!

Thank you.
Thank you for the kindness
Of spirit you display
On the daily. Thank you
For making me aware
Such a place existed. Thank you for
Using your
Gift
In a way that narrates
The Largeness
Of your
Humanity.
Snatch JOY, my Brotha! Snatch JOY!
One.

There is a pool of Love . . .
that holds all things that are in existence . . .
this pool’s waters are so pure . . .
it washes away illusions . . .
of time and space . . .
. . . with this being said,
what is there to know ? . . .
for even knowledge bows ! . . .
. . . to honor love. . .
