What Crosses My Mind

  • Struggling with Identities?

    So many exist you know They come and often go When you least expect a need A personality may provide a read ~ Of that mind that entered a new space Wearing garments just like your own Yet realized the exterior tends to erase What little comparisons might be known ~ Words talking about being…

  • Grown Men May Cry

    In a room of silence Our lives we know outside The Gateway Become transformed together Sharing Creating Validating Our fears and ambitions We are spiritual beings In a circle of esteemed presence Exposed within reaching and caring arms Embraced by known and forgotten elders We call upon their energy We seek their undying guidance Long…

  • Listening Songs

    Have you ever wondered about the power of song? I listen to feel alive Certain voices, certain lives I know sometimes they help me feel I belong ~ Words emanate through a spiritual gift of melody Breathe a wonderful sound So our hearts become wound Soothing our lives in solace – love in quiet tragedy…

  • On Race’s Ism

    If a walk would allow the mind to breathe Freely without any apparent tension Then we might find ourselves in constant Stroll believing with every step that our Mounting despair will be easily reconciled While a visual painting evolves before our eyes ~ When physically we stretch our bodies to lengths Whilst follow natural release…

  • I Am

    I exist because you allowed me To become who I am today I have a life to lead Because you cared enough to give me Breath and passion Desire and love of all that exists In and around my world You are my father. ~ I begin each morning With questions about you That tie…
