Is there something I don't understand?
Is there a route that can't be found,
I am stuck here in the darkness,
I can hardly see the ground,
I know the path I walked to get here,
Though I knew it was incorrect,
There were signs that said "don't go here"
Yet still that road I did select.
Now I don't know my way out,
Now the Good Road is obscure,
So, yet again, I need a guide, please,
Of this I am sure.
I need a lamp for my feet,
I need a guide to show me where,
With many roads to choose from,
My life is in a state of disrepair.
But now I think I've made the right choice,
I chose one they call Son of Man,
And should I face another problem,
Defeat it, I know He can.
He's the one who conquered death,
And chose to defy His very grave,
After securing my eternity,
I am assured that he can save.
Because when I look back,
I will see,
An empty cross,
Staring back at me.
For it was there,
That Christ had died,
To bring me home,
Where He resides.
So now it's clear,
Where I should be,
And I'll follow that road,
To eternity.

This is my House
Where I come to rest
My place, my space
Where I'm calm and unvexed
The heat from this

New Year's Day
Years are over. Years begin.
Time, it folds unto itself.
Time returns and circles close.
Ends commencing somewhere

THE MIRROR
To reflect in a looking glass,
confronted by shattered dreams,
thoughts trace each fracture,
pondering.
A fragmented
BURIED IN LIFE
I remember very little
About the Viet Nam war,
Watergate, and the trip to the moon.
I was so busy with living.
