Who saves the hero?My guess is zero.Red capes in the skyAre always scrutinized.It’s a bird, it’s a plane.Loneliness makes a hero insane.To save but not be saved,Is the hero made slave.Stories made up by the press.Is the villains mastered mess.They’ll do whatever you ask.Just wait for them to put on a mask.“Up, up and away!”ForContinue reading “WHO SAVES THE HERO?”

IS IT REALLY HELPING?
Wake up your alarm is screaming.You don’t remember what you were dreaming. You check your phone notifications,You read the reviews of dissatisfaction.Brew yourself a dark roast,While listening to the news host.Then you’re off to the races with every sound.Working or resting, something is playing in the background. Podcasts, TV, songs and your phone. In every moment you’re notContinue reading “IS IT REALLY HELPING?”
MERCY AND GRACE
For all fall short of the glory,Yet all want to tell a story.Well I don’t want to.I’m a villain like the rest of you.Not one of us deserves mercy.Yet we demand for all to see.This world is a complete mess.A game of seeing who is less.Creation and sin a level playing ground.Nothing we can doContinue reading “MERCY AND GRACE”
A GIFT NOT RECEIVED
To be close to heaven, but not see.To see an angle, but not believe.To hear a message proclaimed but not hear.To walk with Jesus, but stay clear.To sing the Christmas carols but never know.To believe the message but still say no.How sad is this to know.That many are close but still for go.That many haveContinue reading “A GIFT NOT RECEIVED”
HUMBLE GREATNESS
What is this I’ve been given,That your love not be hidden?Each act of love to be on display.Even before the babe lain in the hay.How marvelous is the creation you made?That your faithfulness will never fade.You know each star by name.Even the star your arrival proclaimed.Your greatness is not brought low,Because you paid what IContinue reading “HUMBLE GREATNESS”
SEASONS OF MAN
In every season there is something to be said.In every season there is a word unread.Skipped over because it hurts,Or read over like it’s dessert.Some in seasons of hope,While others are choked by the rope.It’s the circle of life. Sharp as a knife.Rich as a chocolate cake.So much is at stake.In every chapter of a story,IsContinue reading “SEASONS OF MAN”
JUST ONCE
Is this the sacrifice I must make,To sacrifice myself for their sake?Can I be selfish just once?That my sake not be renounced? But no, a hero I must be,And treat myself unjustly.To lay myself low like he.While it chips away my psyche. Why must I do what’s right?Why can’t I leave the light?The story never ends.A friend’sContinue reading “JUST ONCE”
DARKNESS
Darkness has blinded my eyes. Hatred was welling up inside.Darkness has stumbled my steps.While bitterness slowly crept.How does one find the path?When covered in darkness’s wrath.They don’t, unless led by a lamp,To where the Lord may encamp.Where is your heart?Why did it depart?Was it swallowed up in darkness,Cut by evil’s sharpness?Let my heart abide.There will beContinue reading “DARKNESS”
PRIM AND PROPER PRINCESS
Prim and Proper Princess are the words they scoff.Leaving her to wonder if it’s wrong to be soft.She doesn’t want to be glared at,But she can feel her porcelain face crack.Why do we push porcelain dolls to be a G.I. Joe?Not everyone is putting on a show.Is it wrong for her to be sheltered?For someContinue reading “PRIM AND PROPER PRINCESS”
HUSH THE DRAGONS IN TOWN
Hush the dragons in town.Hush don’t make a sound.Smile those rosy cheeks.Hopefully no one knows whom he seeks.No, you can’t escape his talons.His grip is stronger than the lions.He lands upon your back,And you question what you lack.Townsfolk do just fine.They don’t understand why you fall behind.Never knowing the dragon’s grip,It should be an easyContinue reading “HUSH THE DRAGONS IN TOWN”
