Don't Mask Your Heart

Don’t mask your heart

I saw that written

As street art

Scrawled on an electric box

A simple message

And I agreed

Divine insight

Noble indeed

I’ve got the mask for my face on the seat next to me

And A heart without a mask

But I see greed

Not empathy

I see fear

Not faith

But as the sign said

I won’t mask my heart

Instead I pray to the Lord

Please God be a part of my life

Not apart from my life

So please Lord hold us

As we unmask our hearts

And now clearly see the ugly parts

Help us remind

The best parts

The light

Your part Lord

Radiant and bright

It is true though

When we don’t mask our hearts

We can see all the parts

Dark and Light

Day and Night

So since we can see it all now

Let’s shine our light for each other

Reflect the Divine in one another

Namaste

How we now great each other

On this new day.

A Dark Night

In a time of rising despair

Dark clouds in the air

Venom and toxins spewing everywhere

It is now

We must turn to the light

Live as one

Unite

Not divide

Not cut ourselves out into tribes

For one to survive

The other must die

Oh why

Oh why

Have we not already given this life a try?

A fight to the death

To see who is the best

Always focused on conquest

Lord,

How can this be?

You said we were blessed

Did I hear wrong?

I guess

In my doubt

God did impress

Shone a light on those who have less

Made our choices clear

Either to abide in Love

As the Lord commands from above

Or take our chance

As the Devil moves in and asks us to dance

It is our choice

It is our right

Whether we give in to the darkness

Or fly towards the light

Even now

As we seem to be in this dark night

There is a light

It is you

And I ask you not to fight

But shine on

And be bright

Encourage and show others

The light in them too

Spread love

This is how we do

And how we make the world brand new

Then They Came For Me COVID-19

First they came for those with COVID-19, and I did not speak out—because I did not have COVID-19.

Then they came for those that would not wear masks, and I did not speak out— because I wore a mask.

Then they came for those who did not believe the government, and I did not speak out—because I believed the government.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

2020

Say goodbye to the old

And ring in the New Year

2020 is here

With all it will offer

With hope

Newness

And a fresh start

Let’s all open our hearts

Somehow we always forget this part

Even when the New Year starts

When the clock reads all zeros

And the decade is brand new

Somehow we still do

Play the same old songs

And get mad at all the same wrongs

Not even thinking to take our chance

To break the chain

Take a stance

In 2020

I will be brand new

I will be in charge of what I do

What I know

And how much I will grow

You can do it too

Just take this chance

The good Lord is offering you

A New Year

A New Start

A chance to open your heart

To begin again

To be your very own best friend

To no longer care it will end

Or when you can begin

Today

2020 is here

Make some way

It comes for you

And promises

To make your dreams come true

The Soaring 2020's

Greetings

And good tidings to all

A New Year’s ball

10 around the corner

A fresh start

And a new beginning

But first

The last ending

Of this decade

We trade in our teens

For twenties

Friends a many

With good times a plenty

Dazzling

Glitzy

Of course still gritty

Cause although the calendar moves along

We can’t remember the ones who are gone

Who no longer come around

Or who now reside in the ground

The ones who don’t make a sound

We go on carelessly without them

Because their case is their sin

At least

That’s what we believe within

What if we brought them with us too?

Changed their world from blue

Cared a lot less what all of us “do”

This time our twenties won’t roar

They’ll soar

For when we take care of each other

We do the Lord’s work

Stop being human

Again be angels

We’ll fly to the future

Be more beautiful creatures

Our love will be our greatest feature.

Christmas Psalm 2019

If matter cannot be destroyed

And light is its vessel

That travels the universe

Let me take just one moment

To share my verse

My three strings

For the Lord’s symphony

My part

Written just for me

But performed for thee

Dressed in love and empathy

Our time spent compassionately

And since we are of the light

Not crude matter

But luminous beings

Destined to last eternity

For that was our creation

Our Divine Manifestation

From the beginning

That will ride to the ending

But Avalon, Nirvana, Heaven or Shambhala is no ending

Just a brand new beginning

For us to take form

Our hearts to take flight

Our souls to unite

Do the Lord’s work

Give Them the dark

And shine Your light

Bright baby

As bright as you can

Doesn’t matter if we never understand

Just know this life here

Was meant for you

Your only goal

Is your part

The instructions written on the inside of your heart

The lessons from your soul

The stories of ancestors not yet told

Behold!

An Angel of the Lord

They declare this has all been foretold

Dishonesty

Please girl

Leave me alone

Because I appreciate your flirtation

But you’re being dishonest

You have motives

And a motivation

Not just do you want to be friends

And have a casual nights end

You want to be like your girlfriends

Someone’s choice

You want to get picked

Then get lazy

And nice and thick

That’s cool girl

And you’re a hot choice

But I can no longer fall for your tricks

It’s obvious you don’t want to know me

Don’t have much in common

And we are hardly compatible

But that does not matter

In the quest to be taken

Just fast forward to the point you are mistaken

And some men cannot be forgiven

Take those papers to court

Get that divorce

Hard to know if the lesson has happened

Did you actually get burned?

Or did your dishonesty just run out

Got tired of that ring you would tout

In crept the doubt

“I didn’t really love him

Or want to be married”

Until those papers go through

And you need a new man to screw, to date, to fall in love with you

Until you’re dishonest with him too

And you don’t even know you

Just brushing your hair

Dressing with flare

To get any man’s stare

Then you tell them the same things

And the dishonesty begins

I just want to be friends

And have a casual nights end

But then

You do it all over again

First your boyfriend

Then your new husband

Before you know it

Not knowing you has caught up with you again

You don’t want to be his boyfriend

Or his husband

Don’t even want a casual night’s end

So you split

From this one too

Now maybe the truth comes through

That the one you were

Being dishonest to

Is you

And you missed so many chances

Chasing made up romances

Just for status and title

I won’t give you that honey

But let me buy you a drink have some of my money

I hope you realize

This is how I treat people

Not just women with nice thighs

And beautiful eyes

Cause I’ve seen this one before

I know your dishonesty

And I know your lies.
