TESTING AND PROTESTING
Most people are most fearsome of failing,
Afraid of their weakness unveiling,
But a triumph is best
When it comes from a test,
And the struggler winds up prevailing.
For what treasure comes from a whim,
That gives up when prospects look dim?
Hang onto your hope
To walk the tightrope,
And crawl right out there on that limb.
Don't worry when folks are judgmental,
Or even if they're temperamental.
You follow the dance,
Leave nothing to chance;
Remember life's experimental.
So don't be alarmed by a trial,
Or live out your days in denial.
Just jump in the game
For your highest aim,
And hold out for something worthwhile.

Life measured away by clocks.

As night calls me
Failing the test of marriage
Failing the test of time
I didn't know the answers
I didn't see the sign
I thought it would be

THE INTERPRETER
Allowing the Spirit to
sweep through its Channel from
the bitter past is the only qualification to
