Enchanted Plains
To define the
land of enchanted plains
Where mountain
peaks rise into heaven,
And seas,
rivers, streams drink the rains;
Beasts roam the
land’s altering leaven.
Men armed and
battle ready; do patrol
The sacred
stairs to the king’s grand castle,
Set upon the
highest hill to control
Savages n’
thieves; the kingdom’s hassle.
A critical
force, is its protection.
Perception of
one’s eye, is enraptured
Of the grand
view and water’s reflection
Of one’s inner
soul’s intention captured.
For reasons,
obvious, the beasts and king
Vigilance due
treachery; armies bring
Sacred stability
for all to cling.

Whiskey Road
Whiskey road
etched
A map in my mind
A road of wonder
A curve of
anticipation
Around the bend.
Oh Whiskey Road,
I pray there's
no end
To your beauty
Autumn, Winter,
Spring or Fall
You will
continue
To lead me down
Another
adventure:
Of joy
Of peace
Of solitude.
Grace me with
thy presence
A walk or a
drive
Steady me.
It's where I am
me
Where God intended
me to be
On Old Whiskey
Road.

Wooden Boat
In the distant
horizon
The eye can
perceive,
A lone wooden,
crafted boat
Made with
chapped hands, upon the sea.
Hands…
Worn throughout
the years;
Years of long
suffering.
Journeys…
Made the ocean
In which the
boat floats upon
With his tears.
Tears…
Some shed in joy
Some shed in
sorrow
The ocean which
was made,
In solitude he
borrows.
The Ocean…
His place of
serenity
In which he
seeks God.
He drifts with
the soft blowing breeze
As the horizon
settles;
Burning the sky
With its hues of
golden orange
And garnets,
that lowlights
The evening
chasm on high.
Peace…
Found in the
wooden, crafted boat
Afloat upon the
ocean of tears;
Thanks God,
For all his
various seasons
And his many
years.
