The trees of the forest conceal great halls
Their trunks and branches form the walls
Leafy limbs reach over head
Lush green moss makes the bed
Delightful dances here commence
The dancers are creatures no one can place in a fence
The air, perfumed by petals so sweet
Intensifies with the mid day heat
As tempting as this place might be
My destination is calling me
And as I trek away from here
I promise to return some other year

As I Walk By The Lake In My Dreams - a Poem
Yesterday afternoon I was tired so, I took a nap in the living room and I had a dream. Because of my over active imagination matched with being cooped up inside due to the rain means that I read and write alot more than usual and so, my dream ended up being turned into a poem. I hope that you enjoy reading is as I enjoyed participating in the dream and writing it down.
I fell asleep only to awake
And find myself walking down the shore of a lake
A dragon then rises from his stream bed
Water like jewels his back does shed
I begin to turn away as reality calls me from the scene
When a pair of sea turtles intervene
Flapping their flippers they fly
Their green coloring I happen to spy
One after the other
They flew over my shoulder
The leader gives me a wink and I waved
A spot in my heart this dream land has saved
I fell asleep only to awake
And find myself walking down the shore of a lake
A dragon then rises from his stream bed
Water like jewels his back does shed
I begin to turn away as reality calls me from the scene
When a pair of sea turtles intervene
Flapping their flippers they fly
Their green coloring I happen to spy
One after the other
They flew over my shoulder
The leader gives me a wink and I waved
A spot in my heart this dream land has saved

"My Stand" a poem by me.
I wrote this poem after Reading the book Saint by Ted Dekker.
Here I make my stand
This is my line drawn in the sand
You preach tolerance
Until you notice our existence
Every path is equal you say
Until it comes to Jesus' way
You call us close minded
Because we believe that the only way is narrow and few shall find it
You think him dead
We know he lives instead
His gift is for all
In comparison the price is small
You complain that we are exclusive
When really it is you who is being reclusive
You scream that the light brings only pain
That the darkness is to blame is plain
the darkness covers up all of those offensive wrinkles you claim
I know that this only gives you time to relish that which should bring you shame
Welcome the light
Dispel the night
He can free your soul
He wants to make you whole
You thank me and say:
"Now I have seen the way and never will I stray"
I have given my argument a hundred tries
I lose many but open others eyes
For these reasons I cannot be silent
Because soon I will have used up all of the days I was lent
It's not perfect but it's something that says something that I hope you understand.
