Foolish Things

As
I….
Water Lily with
Rain and Sunshine
In hopes that she will grow

I watch her in her youth
For wisdom she does not know

She spites my hand
And neglects my knowledge
She is not in search of truth

She spits words of defiance
To my nurturing
And vomits out foolish things

She sputters in her growth
For she is not willing to “open”
Her pathway to enlightenment

I
Try
To
Instill
In the Water Lily
Metaphors of survival
And a vernacular feast
Of "spiritual" food
But she refuses to eat
From the tree of life

Rather she prefers
To wither and die

Like the foolish
Flower she is.........

I Didn't Claim Poetry

Inspired my Amberly's Me Poem.....Amber, Thanks for the inspiration! I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me It wrapped me up And seduced me At the tender age of three I didn’t claim poetry It claimed me It called my name While inside my mother’s womb It nurtured me And cuddled me And wrapped me up in its cocoon I write because of submission It is my therapy The only thing that allows Me to maintain my sanity I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me With intoxication For words medication No need for translation It be my sedation I know no other way It is the ex-pression Of WHO I BE I live for it Die without it And strive to perfect it I be the muse To the ink The pen be the tool To express me Poetry is WHO I BE

Stand

Stand When all has failed & you don't know what to do.. Just Stand. When the storm is fierce The river is raging & you feel like it's drowning you Just Stand. When the bitter cold comes to steal your last breath...... Just Stand, Knowing in your heart This to shall pass When the cold wind blows & catches you in its snare Be patient & know That after the storm is over You'll still be Standing there! When the tears just keep running & you can't utter a word Just Stand For This too God has heard When the burning fire roars With plans to destroy all in sight Just Stand When the pain is unbearable & you think your losing your mind Just Stand. Stand on the rock so powerful & true Stand with all authority & know that God loves you Stand & be victorious With all your faith & might Stand child & let the spirit be Just Stand there and know that God is with thee!
