Life Lost



lost and disregarded
the homeless pass a home guarded
nothing to have and nothing to lose
for whom do I tie this noose

who has more?

those who do or those ignored
look away you in need
i've earned what i keep

you too can have more

not a myth or spiritual lore
more of this and more of that
more is better
less is not

the more i have the worse i feel

surely this can't be real
but more of what would help me heal?

two of those and three of these

who doesn't need a flying trapeze
an empty heart is not to envy
an empty soul just leads to quandary

the poor are rich
rich indeed
living simply within their means
having only what they need
living a full rich life 
a rich life indeed

For Vanessa

  My Love Long ago you drove away I watched in horror and stared in pain Confused, confound and conflicted, lost in my mind   My body restricted No strength to move was I to find My love drove away leaving me behind Hardened heart for no other to be a part With pain hidden grew to distrust But the love I contained, I could no longer restrain Wanting to share, I looked to God and laid my thoughts bare A promise He kept, but misconstrued   The trust I gave, partial at best  A test To guard my heart and ignore its unrest As if anticipated, the love I gave was never accepted Instead boredom, stagnant and sloth Cast out, trust intact as cracks grew across my heart But God true to his word, sent not one but three to love Now I ask, please send me a bride, a true love to grow in stride My horror now replaced anticipation, contemplation Of so many things in creation My heart now broken from stone above crumbled rocks it laid o pen and bare Free to accept, free to receive the...
