The dream
Was right there
Waiting
On me
To choose
To enrobe myself
In a faith
Grand enough
To wear its design

I want to hear your voice
Whatever words
You want to say
I want to hear
Don’t care if
You talk
About the weather
Or yourself
And if you wish
To not speak
Then be here
Beside me
Happy to
Listen to
Your silence

Gray
The land of nowhere
Found tiptoeing
Between
Great heavy shadows
Holding hostage
Fearful what if’s
And the light
Bare naked brightness
Secrets once
Owned in terror
No more
Have power
Release
Peace
Freedom
Life

Reflecting
From a view
Of self-peace

I tried an experiment
Surrendered my life to God
Just to see what would happen
Opened my tight closed fist
To receive His will
He poured out on me
His abundant love
Now I am a tree
Planted by streams
Ever nourished
Ever protected
Catapulted into the favor
He planned for me
Before he formed me
In my mother’s womb
Grateful to be so adorned

There’s layers to my depths
And depths to my layers
Arrangements of silence, sounds, letters, words
Building, stacking, mounting
One pause, one syllable, one moment at a time
Spinning out from
My soul’s innermost core
Bursting into life
The moment they touch air
Traveling through galaxies
Beyond the universe
Beyond time

You will tell everyone
How you prayed
And how I answered
Love,
God

Look!
You see?
When you serve me
I will put you in places
You could not otherwise go
I will place you
In palaces you can’t afford

I thought
About contemplating
Then decided
Thinking too much
Is overrated…
Seize the day!

My flame burns bright
Illuminating the darkness
It stays steady & fierce
Even though life’s gales
Divinely lit & furnished
My spirit shines
Guiding my journey

My soul
Is dead without you
You alone
Give it nourishment
Give it strength
To rise from my bed
Each new dawn

One day it became
Crystal clear
In the split
Of a split second
My heart spoke
My purpose
God’s destiny
For who I am to be

Encased
Within my beauty
A silent grain of pain
But my God
Layered
Love, upon love, upon love
Smoothing hurt into
Iridescent sheen

They won’t see me
Until they SEE me
Patiently leveling up
Daily
I am a new man
The old things
Have passed away

My little girl dreams
Are still cherished
By my woman’s heart
One day
Very soon
I know
They will be
My reality

And then the day came
When I stopped
I stopped
Dancing for a song
That never paid me dignity
And on that day
I said
I am significant
Then I reached out
And I took it
I took my worth
I took my grace
I took my respectability
I wrote my own song
This song
I can dance to
Proud

I am stepping
Into
The petticoats of my dreams
Sailing away
On winds of the fate
Towards
The lands
Where I truly belong

Every story
I’ve ever lived
Recorded by my
Beating heart
Speaks no language
Man can decode
Unless he looks
Into my eyes
Those windows
To the pages
Of my soul
It would take
His lifetime
And then some
To read
Carefully
Through them all
