Influences: the crawl fish sizzle into a smoke screen so that only a few have seen the truth mattresses are stacked onto streets where juvenile experiments turn into police beats i'm best friends with the po'boys and work with the good ol' boys their toys work destruction and among men I've heard rumors of war within a city that's torn between rebuilding and self destructing ------- i can not control my heart each chamber wall the code and the breaker each stagnant stall holds creatures never held before down tubes and alleys you'll find scattered debris of me ------- do not allow your heart to forsake you the Holy Spirit will lead you kindness fell to the floor and wilted like last season's bloom the seed fell on hard ground but rain nailed it into a promise kiss mercy grace sufficient rain was sent by a commission your days are numbered your purpose exposed to sow love among thornsboys in transition are men this is for you to own -------- I never want to forget. sitting on lightless porches waiting for people to fill basements Looking at the ageless- frozen in these moments Hats and hair pieces, cigarettes and celebration--Senior year to somewhere Senior year to remember -------- Today It dawned on me This morning sunrised through my brown eyes and thundered under my back side The roof of my mouth collapsed under the Weight Of Praise My left brain thoughts In unity with what is right My emotions follow my spirit after spirit takes flight “follow me” isn’t an act of passivity- my wash rag rung like that telephone on a Friday My tennis shoes tongued like a forked exit going my way Thank you Lord for today Thank you Lord for today
