walking on sand

upon the water

is a riddle

I wished to prosper

but life had other plans

it handedme some stuff

some poems wear a sonnet

the way some people wear a bonnet

Trust sharpens the blade

Loyalty holds you still

Love cuts your throat

Aint we glad we gottum

not the ones that r suppose

tarnishing Blacks Minorities Special needs and everyday folks

with their for whites only policies ...

I had to find peace which means I had to let a bunch of things go. I was holding on to things that I didnt need to hold on to. It wasnt mine to hold anyway. I gave it back to its owner. I was giving it to much meaning.

I should have found grace...

If there is a “Penny” shortage, how can we say, “A penny for your thoughts” if there is no penny?

I love pennies. Walking supplements your income.

you send me

yes
your poetry sends me
it really does

from warm fields of grain
waving languidly in southern suns of yesterday
