Word's Might

Word's Might

...
A poet's words...Might and power,
given like some bundled flowers.
Sharing vision...Painting dreams,
from their hearts, or so it seems.
Sometimes those words give release...
letting out our demon's beasts...
Some imagine wonder's places.
Some put smiles upon our faces...: )
Words can help to mend our ails,
yield support when all else fails...
When life's stuff... has got you down,
words may help remove that frown.
Verses full of positive,
give us strength and cause to live.
Never question why they're strong...
Words wrote down, in lines so long...

Freedom's Cost

Freedom's Cost

Freedom...sometimes took for granite,
gave through sacrifice...
Ain't no place on this here planet...
free of all demise.
Military soldiers, civil servants too...
There are many individuals...
who gave their life for you.
Some have battled to thwart evil,
knockin' at our door...
Others gave for someone's freedom,
on some distant shore.
Some got caught in burning buildings,
saving someone's life.
Many die in daily struggles...
dealing with our strife...
If you ride a motorcycle,
car, truck, train or plane...
There are some who gave for you,
taking 'way your pain.
Many of our Veterans,
they now ride with pride.
Sharing freedom, brotherhood,
void demons locked inside.
Also firemen, police too...
freedom that they feel on two...
So next time you're out...about...
see a vet or folks on duty...
Smile and wave or give a thanks,
for helping keep you free.
Give them honor and respect,
for yeilding hazard's way...
Remember those who died for you...
on this Memorial Day...

Dreams Ride

Dream's Ride

My dreams fly faster...
...than my soul can travel.
My hope holds on...
...trying not to unravel...
This crazy puzzle...
...we call life,
that puts us all through...
...daily strife.
My mind...
...it must stay motivated.
Simply not just captivated...
by this zoo...
that we created.
Convenience...
now so over-rated.
...
Escape...
...a thing I yearn to have.
A pleasant freedom...
...soothes like suave.
To roll with nature...
...by my side...
Gives me joy...
...I just can't hide.
So I'll head out...
to garage...
grab my bike...
give tank massage...
Turn the key...
and kick her over...
bringing life...
into my lover...
...
We'll head out...
not knowing where...
have no schedule...
nor do we care...
With faces out...
...into the wind,
It's feeling like...
we might have sinned...
But life...
...it will get over it...
for now...
this ride's...
...the perfect fit.
