At least…

I am a romantic. But, I’m also a realist. Some things never go to plan, no matter how beautiful the intention is…

When Tom Hanks’ character in “Castaway” exclaims how grateful he is to have had Kelly on the island, with him….damnit, I get it. Who knows what’s happening back on the mainland?!

Sometimes, it’s all you can make of love, a visionary plan in your head, or heart as it were…

Because you have to press on.

I know…I carry my muse…I’m grateful, too.

Because she was with you, kept you, encouraged you,

saved you….

Onto the work of 2019.

POWER

I will paint the world with my love for you
Drape it’s scorn
in rainbow colored strokes
bowed and florished in the places
where upturned mouths
dare to spin
lies of our unGODliness

I will speak beautiful you inspired poetic verse
– against
the din
of small minded judgement
noting in iambic pentameter that
God’s truth
is too vast
for such
confined spaces.

I will play chords of rhapsody
becoming the digital extension of
great masters
A prophesising symphony against
the hypocritical ledger lines
of loving in abomination

I will pour out
my song
‘Til chords bend
spilling blood droplets into the winds
of change

I will make right the world with my love
– for you
It is my gift
from God-
And such things are not given of
darkness.
