have you ever
been somewhere
but KNEW
you were “supposed”
to be somewhere
else
so your
whole motivation
for living
was to get
somewhere else
where you were
supposed to be?
welcome to San Diego
poetry
“Making a Sound”
an army rising
the heavens moving
the rivers flowing
drowning death
“Focused”
no distractions
no worries
just Him
God
and me
no worries
no distractions
“Embracing Discovery”
about love
they said
‘you’ll know’
but I didn’t know
until I knew
for everyone
it’s different
for me
it was a hug
that embraced
my heart
how do you let go
of something so real
I questioned
I cried
I listened to God
and asked my love
to marry me
love is looking
into the eyes of your husband
across the way
wanting to climb over the table
to get to him
but you don’t
because you know
he’s not going anywhere
now I know
and can tell others
‘you’ll know’
and then watch them
not know
until they know
“Mirage”
how does darkness
make death
so appealing
a young girl cutting
a woman aborting
a man escaping
reality
there’s a veil
set in place
with a vision
of paradise
that’s decorated
until chains
set in place
locked in silence
held in isolation
surrounded in love
but on an island
not being able
to swim
to safety
stranded
in the dark
but surrounded
by Light
having to choose
to be free
having regret
looming
to take hold
so many
make the choice
to regret
so many
make the choice
to be freedom
be available
to listen
be coming
in love
be willing
to sacrifice
your opinion
darkness
is an illusion
that’s stepped into
help someone
step into
the Light
“Flight 1439”
through the air
to a destination
through the heart
into restoration
through the mind
with plans galore
through the soul
forever more
waiting to move
moving to join
joining to live
happily ever after
“Heaven”
a place where time
doesn’t exist
a place where it’s never
the last moment
a place that listens
plans and
releases
strength
hope
and love
having the power
to send darkness to hell
having the faith
to walk in victory
having the courage
to stand tall
and believe
in freedom
in joy
in love
so many choices
to make every day
so many moments
to be love
for God
for yourself
for others
torment may last
for a moment
but joy and peace
are forever more
“Life Leads to Life”
January twenty-fifth
the date darkness
planned an abortion
and a suicide
the date heaven
witnessed a marriage
between ex’s
there’s always a way
to override darkness
and live a life of victory
through Jesus
love is a choice
to love God is a choice
to love others is a choice
to love yourself is a choice
in the blink of an eye
a mind can be changed
in either direction
so focus on the good
“Standing Still”
in Texas
I’d think about
San Diego time
in San Diego
I’m thinking about
Texas time
between two worlds
where time really flies
either forward or backward
in between old and new
in between before and after
in between then and now
it’s like reading a book
and saving your place
to go back to
