THREE POEMS

One:

Work the landscape

Make it look nice

Let it sing to you

Listen for the bells

Soon they will ring

Two:

What lifts my soul?

Good things that happen

The sound of nature

                Wind through the trees

                Waves on the shore

I won’t ask for more

The moon, stars and sun

Speak to me, too

I want to answer back

That is my goal!

Three:

Denied and down again

Will I get up once more?

I must, I’m all I have

I’ll walk out that door

Will not look back

No satisfaction

I’ll find my destiny

You will see

And only then

Will you

Hear from me!

EARLY MORNING ORDERS

I woke up at 2:30 A.M.

Stars were clearly visible

I thought of the hour

I thought of creation

Of God Almighty and

His purpose for me

I wanted Him to speak

I laid down and listened

He said He works through me

I am one of His man-angels

There are high expectations

I am a chosen one

There is much to do

I have to open up more

To the needs of others

I have heard this before

But it vanishes from my mind

Like a rainbow from the sky

I need constant reminders

But now I have been challenged

This is serious business

It is incumbent on me to be aware

I feel under some pressure

But then I remember that

I am a chosen one and

This is all His work that

I will be doing and responsible for

It becomes a good feeling

A badge of extreme honor

I drift off to sleep but

Wake up 5 hours later

Still remembering the conversation

It was a new day with

A brand new assignment

Man-angels are made for this
