Where are you tonight?Please describe your plight.Are you giving in?Drowning in your sin? Do you see the truth?Like a rotten tooth?There’s nowhere to goTo hide what you know. Cover what you may.Darkness now will stay.Knowing the way outDoes not move the doubt. Look into the heart.That is where you partFrom what is the truth,Doing what’s … Continue reading Where Are You Tonight?

Talk, Talk, Talk
Talk, talk, talk –When you going to walk?Baby in a crib –All you do is fib. Idle talk you give.To Him you don’t live.Misinterpreting Him,So that you can sin. You know what is true.To Him, you know what’s due.Don’t pretend you don’t,Just because you won’t. Actors in a hall,Saying “Let’s play ball!”To you, it’s all … Continue reading Talk, Talk, Talk
A Friend is a Friend Until
A friend is a friend until he isn’t,Until he cuts into your heart an incision,Until he murders you in mind, and in his soul,Until he leaves you brokenhearted, and not whole. A friend may be shallow and dismissive,Whose hidden desires come to the surface,For he can’t hold them back now and forever,For they’re hot in … Continue reading A Friend is a Friend Until
What Life is About
Life and love and hate and evil,Peace and calm and oft upheaval,Day by day, and ins and outs,Faith and purpose, tears and doubts, Sun and rain and sleet and hail,Live with purpose, sometimes fail,Morning, noon, and nighttime, too,Middle age and old and new, Never know what each day brings,Have a lot; not many things;Living here … Continue reading What Life is About

They are looking for something,They may not know what,But something to fill the empty space,And something their memories … Continue reading If Only
Tis a Mystery
Tis a myst’ry how many sleep –Watch o’er their lives, they do not keep.They’re not in tune with Spirit-God.Their lives in Christ are but a fraud. The Spirit speaks to them, and yet,They walk away, and they forget.They teeter-totter forth and back –Believing, doubting, faith they lack. Complacency is still their game,And so, they remain … Continue reading Tis a Mystery
