From the cold phone
Snaps the attention
Of a lost soul
Looking for connection
A real life
Ressurection
But instead just brings
More of the same
Without any delay

Storm brew
From sea to shining sea
A fallen snowflake
Soon will be
Joined with many others
Across the country
From Texas to North Dakota
New York to New Mexico
Here comes a late
Spring snow
Who Runs Through the Fields
Next to the lake
Where summer flows
Freely in the mid year
Take away the yields
Crushing the flowers
Taking away the light of day
Destruction is imminent
With the devil on the prowl
Telling us we need him and his dirt
Rather than turning us loose
We have to recompence
So live today
And smile like the love will never be
Stolen away
Take the Receipt
What if we don’t want
What we are sold
What is forced down our souls
Dreams we had growing up
Growing old
The life we had planned
The journey we hoped
When the path is blocked
From any meaningful growth
Take the receipt from the robots
That draw near
With a plan to retire us in our early years
I am not so hopeful today as I was
For these words will prove
Lonely
If they replace our love
Virginia Street Starts
He was a happy man
Who had a plan
To create a life
A family
He would hold me
Tell me he would not go away
Even though life itself
Was a prospect
Of great uncertainty
To him I attribute my own self
Reflecting in times of difficulty
His spirit will live on from the difficult beginnings
Where success itself was not a guarantee
But what would come to be
From the long nights and spirituality
A life fully lived
With a wife and 3 kids
Coming from Virginia Street
Where life itself was very hard lived
So to him I offer a great honor
Of love
To have been loved
What’s Wrong with Jesus
Is it coming from no wealth or power
Is that what upsets you
The acceptance of other as they are
Is that what angers you
Is it the removal of the chose people status
Is that bothersome to you
Is it that the world can be at peace and love
Is that unacceptable to you
Is it the open doors to those who are different and don’t look like you
Is that angering to you
Is it the revolution of love that he brings with gentle and subtle hope
Is that wrong to you
Whats wrong with Jesus
I just can’t figure it out
Is it that he came to abolish your petty little religion
You have the establishment
He has the people
Is that what did you in
We can take him out of the books and remove him from the words
But in the end the story he lived
Is the part that will never go away
For he loved so that we could love
Is that wrong to you
Who are you now
That your evil ways have been dispensed by him
Is that too much for you
The Heat of Summer
The heat of summer setting into the day
Of Phoenix heat
Bringing out the dust
Of the summer rush
With a rush of hot air on your face
Taken in stride
Or taken in place
The heat of the summer sets in
For the time ahead
A Great One
Lines straight enough to see
Down the middle of the fairway
Beyond the sand
There is a man standing
Waiting
The sun is setting over the Western skies
In the moments like these
You can’t tell to celebrate
Or cry
As I approached the figure
It became clear it was my father
Walking down the path
Towards me
I walked to the back of the green
And we embraced in the fall light
And fallen leaves
He told me the good news
Of a plan for a future I had wanted
We cried
As I write this story now
I have been struck down
As my father died
But I will remember that fairway
The setting sun
And I was lucky enough
That my father
Was truly a great one
Take the Fairway
Lining uncertainty
Followed by the lines of trees
Greens and fairways
Swing at the golf ball
Yet it lies
A mile away
From the starting house
Over the winds
And through the maple
Next to the pine tree
Lies the decent of dreams
How to take one mistake and limit
When temptation is around the corner
Sometimes we have to adjust accordingly
And be smart
About what choices we make
At the Intersection
Awaiting the light
Of decision made in time
Dirt roads leading me to my new path
Uncertain but certainly going
When one chapter ends a new begins
Yet it can be of no consequence
To see
What was left behind
So at the intersection of time and opportunity
I await what life will bring me
Carrying the weight of the past
And the loved ones who go before
But awaiting as well a new future
Bright to behold
Take Me To The Turn
Embrace the challenge
Of golf and it’s bitter edges
Take me to the turn
And start again
From the summer grass
Cut in the early hours
To the tee box setup in the light
Turn the day into a light of hope
Take on the joy of the game
Everyday
Price of Words
What we say
Freedom of the language
Is freedom of the head
The heart is the piercing
Sound that beats
In the depths of word
So I take the reminder
Of the words that we have
Freedom to speak
So undertake the moment
To say what you need to
