Every one who writes poetry has favorites. I am no different. Following is one of my favorite written poems from 2005. It speaks volumes about my own life to date.
A ship in the sea of life
riding each wave of life
seeking the warm sun of each day
the beauty of each dream as night falls
is never lost
as it heads toward the curve
of each horizon.
Storms will blow
onward do we flow
in love and courage
by His hand.
Tomorrow brings the knowing in His love
the vastness of the ocean
is not so alone.
As long as we believe
we will never be alone
for His love
surpasses all of this
this and time beyond
this brief sea of life.

“How am I to trust the wisdom of your king
who sends you with this message
if he hides his real name behind a false one?”
He went on further in his discourse by saying,
“Does your king lack courage.
Does he not have the backbone of a man
or is he really a woman
hiding behind a man’s name
who claims to be a king?”
The king then had his soldiers remove
the servant from his presence.
The servant’s head was cut off
before the sun set upon that day.
Each day I am constantly amazed
by the many web sites and forum boards
that carry postings of individuals
who use cover names out of fear
instead of their own real names.
How can one take any of these postings seriously
when the posters hide behind a mask?
For all we know
it can be a simple program on a computer
somewhere generating all these postings
across the net in an attempt
to control public opinion.

At times it would be nice
to have a pair of magic red shoes.
Just clicking them together three times
would do the trick.
Suddenly I would be transported
to wherever my mind of memory
would wish to go.
At this very moment
I could easily think of a dozen places
I would love to be at this moment.
Each time frame
would place me at a time and place
where I felt greatly loved.
Where there was a skip in my step
and a constant grin on my face.
I can easily bring to mind
scenes of such places in my past.
Skipping through a mall with her
like a school child.
Dancing with her
for the first time
with my arm around her waist.
Ah yes then their were those
first kisses
always soft
always remembered
always joyful
in the way those kisses went to my toes.
Truthly knowing what I know now
would I have taken more time
to savor every moment.
Time in remembering every detail
of the places of my youth
where my magic red shoes
would have taken my heart.
