Erase me!
freeze me!
make me such
that I stands immortal?!
It was me
it was nobody
who was it?
committing audacious acts
being so carefree
as to lose interest in others
Erase that putrid sight
of which so many are insulted.
Those high and mighty fools
who believe that they are above the law.
Who was it?
Who froze the beauty and the beast?
they are unaffected by time!!
That isn't right,
time should have no exceptions.
These naive critics,
who gave them the right!
Who said that they could write the history books?
Those cynical creeps,
they think they can make me immortal?
no!
They will fall short
crash to the floor hard enough to break their noses
no history lasts forever
and not one person can live forever
in any way shape or form
You can't erase me
history will do that first.
You can't freeze me
even the coldest ice will melt in the sun.
Immortality! Forget that,
its a wasted effort to achieve emptiness.

For Being an Uncle
So what do they mean to me?
the question rings like the sweetest chimes
the sound of the their voices,
the ring of their laughter...
such sweet sounds under the bright blue sky
as we run and play.
they're all at such a young age;
so full of energy
so carefree,
blissfully naive to the rest of the world.
the nephew has his moments
the niece has that six year old attitude
but there is nothing better,
nothing that quite compares...
we have that honey sweet relationship
that has no equal.
if only we could see each other more
if only we could have more fun together
it is amazing the time that we get to spend together
it seems to end too quickly
oh the grace of young lives
the unconditional love given by those small hearts
and such large emotions
the smiles bright as the sun
as the time seems endless
and even when our time has run out
the biggest hugs that can be mustered by such small arms
the greatest time an uncle can have
seems to be with the the nieces and nephews he has.

Gods Good Work
what do i hear
is it the joy of god
floating through the trees
as the birds sing
melodiously in this
the extravagant scenery of the forest
the greens of the emerald leaves
dancing before the wind
flowing between that which provides shade
such a necessity that those of the ground need
such a beautiful serenity
the calm of the dream
nothing can penetrate or disillusion
no fear may enter this place
a secret held quietly in the mind
an alternate world with out limits
how great the creation of the mind can be
how great the god who created the mind
infinite in existence
eternal in love
holding all that exists
in an incomprehensible place
as the place lives
serenity knows fear by fire
the rains return the peace
gods tears his love
pouring down on the beauty of his creation
pleasing to all the senses
existing for all to experience
with no exclusions
so exists gods creation

The World So Defined
And so the world spins a new tale
As every minute and every second passes
People find that they have their world has joined another
Individual lives brushing up next to each other
Sometimes intertwining
Is it at random that we meet new people?
Chance that we take notice of the person sitting on the side of the road
How interesting that our lives can be effected so easily
And yet we can’t tell when we affect another life
For purpose to exist there must be a reason
Logic is an indispensable key
Though it is only one of many keys
It can be molded and changed to fit so many different locks
Nice to think that we can access so many different areas of life
But what are those areas of life?
Where do they lead?
And how do those areas come into contact with the rest of the world?
Funny isn’t it?
All the questions that are asked
All the possibilities that are perceived no matter how ridiculous
Seems that knowledge doesn’t just come to those who seek
But to those who wait for the right realization to hit them
Don’t laugh at how the world seems so rushed, preoccupied.
Because doing so show that you are preoccupied with the world
It isn’t right to be so hypocritical of the masses
Especially when the masses are too busy to return the favor
Instead smile and wave as the world passes by
Sometimes brushing up against your life
This way the world has a reason to wave back
As it fades into the blurred mess that is flying through time
Leaving the possibility that a single person with even a tiny amount of faith
Can show that the world has a definition still never thought of
just a p.s. moment. i wrote this one a while back but forgot to post it or even that i had written it i hope that you enjoy.

The Way the Words Dance
What do I say?
How should I put this?
The words, the letters
Dancing through the mind
In wondrous patterns
Painting the pictures
Pondering the meanings
Answering the questions
Doing what nothing else can do
Expressing the awesome
Bringing light to the amazing
Not meant to misguide
Not brought forth to twist the beauty of the world
Created to bring light
Brought forth to show understanding
They twist and turn
Tying themselves in knots
Slipping loose again
The words
The symbols
Flowing like the gracious breeze
Bringing the beautiful scents
Blowing the gentle leaves
Carrying the carefree laughter
Bringing the reason
Showing the purpose
The existence apparent by its own intent
Breaking chains
Changing hearts
The words on paper brought to bear
To save the desperate
To let the despair flow away
As the stream flows down the valley
Carrying the reflection
The bright blue sky
In all its majesty
The slowly moving clouds
Passing through in slow motion perspective
Begging the calm to remain forever
The words recreate the beauty
The small details of the green grass
Lush and flowing
With the yellow and white flowers
Brushed slow breezes
The words
Give the life back
Bring the beauty before the world
Return the smiles
Give the memory meaning
The imagination vivid expansion
The power of what to say
The right way to put the words in place
How they dance
How they twist and turn
Bending and swaying with wonderful meaning

The Fascination I Have
No story
No painting
No attainable item
No thing
Has the capacity to grasp
Jesus Birth
A single star to signify the beginning of the end of sins control
High above the stable
Father God
Watching his holy sons birth
As mother Mary lays the head of Jesus to rest
In straw, in loving silence
Three Kings in mortal reverence
They arrive with gifts
Incense, gold, and myrrh
From three kings without explanation
The respect for Gods son comes
It is here, the story of God's glory begins to climax
Only the cross can signify the final stretch of mans existence
And only Revelations will bring the end
But through the resolution Jesus Life will be remembered
And Christmas will glory the birth of our savior
The creators son
I am fascinated by the bible
Like so many before me, with me
And yet to say they believe
No painting

No thing

Like so many before me, with me
And yet to say they believe
In Majesty You Saved
God oh God
By grace you sent your son
In mercy and love
You sent a savior
Through the streets of Rome
Your perfect son carried the cross
Holding sin and death upon his shoulders
And when death sealed Christ's lips
The curtain tore
You came to live amongst us
In arrogant anger
We helped you save us
In fear you showed us light
You lifted the veil of sin
Your children could finally see
Now we live in free choice
Enslaved by sin
Or enraptured by you
In worship, in praise
Giving ourselves up
Many make the choice
intent upon our hearts
Your glory has no bounds
It floods our lives
as your mercy clears our eyes
No idol, not any material gain
Nothing could fill the void but you
So i create the praises for you
The one who bridged the gap
Became sent the ultimate sacrifice
Through Jesus Christ our lord
By grace you sent your son
In mercy and love
You sent a savior
Through the streets of Rome
Your perfect son carried the cross
Holding sin and death upon his shoulders
And when death sealed Christ's lips
The curtain tore
You came to live amongst us
In arrogant anger

Nothing could fill the void but you
