BEEN A PHARISEE

Been a Pharisee
But don't want to be
Needing to be free
Just stop judging me

Forgive and forget
To release that net
And not break a sweat
For freedom to get

Have a loving heart
I must do my part
Emptying my cart
Knew that from the start

"STUPID"

Have you ever been called stupid
Or thought you were yourself
Is it really so easy
To hurt our mental health

Why point out the negative
In a sarcastic kind of way
If wanting to be helpful
Find a better word to say

Life or death is in our tongue
Just truly how we use it
To build up or tear down
Careful how you choose it

Re: All Our Poetry

BOAT FEET

She wakes in the morning, they're with her in bed,
and she's sure she was born with these snakes in her head.
She sings in the shower, she lives by the hour
and now her thoughts turn to the things that were said.

There were people and faces and choices galore
but the voices were calling from the edge of the shore.
She kicked off her shoes and she waltzed on the sand
with the blues in her eyes and the world in her hands.

Under the moon she started to swoon,
and the tears fell down her face;
she took a deep breath and she steadied herself
to join the human race.

Lapping at her feet in waves of delight
was the laughter of her shipmates as they sailed through the night;
with the wind in her hair and stars everywhere,
she stared to the horizon as her spirit took flight.

The sea below was black and she was never turning back,
she had to make the crossing to find what she lacked.
She knew in her heart she would always be fine
but for the longing for the lover she had to leave behind.

Under the moon she started to swoon,
and the tears fell down her face;
she took a deep breath and she steadied herself
to join the human race.

The morning was bashful and it crept in the sky
like the tears in her laughter and the fear in her eyes.
She knew all along she'd have to be strong
to carry her heart across the divide.

Her tired eyes fell shut, the sun fell straight up
and she dreamed of the laughter that had once been enough.
Just before she woke, while sleeping she spoke,
"My heart may be sunken, but not with this boat."

Under the moon she started to swoon,
and the tears fell down her face;
she took a deep breath and she steadied herself
to join the human race.

Re: All Our Poetry

IT'S MORE THAN JUST RELIGION

See the good that's in the world
And in my brother too
Look past the outer oyster
To find the pearly blue

Tune my heart to Godly things
Changing the whole outlook
It's more than just religion
Don't think that I'm forsook

Through trials I learn patience
I'll accept come what may
I'm now an overcomer
'Cause Jesus is the way

SUMMER FUN

We're splashing in the sea
Or walking hand in hand
That's where I want to be
Like striking up the band

Spending time you and me
Anywhere will be grand
Summer fun with no fee
Enjoy all the island

Re: All Our Poetry

"What Would It Cost"

What would it cost?
To smile a bit more?
Lend a helping hand
To a stranger at one's door.

What would it cost?
To really show you care?
About the Homeless, The Abused
The children out there?

What would it cost
To simply say, "I do."

It wouldn't cost too much...
To start, just PRAY
The rest will follow through.

Re: All Our Poetry

"THE END"

The end has come
I've had my fun
Now's the time
To say "I'm done."

Wish all the best
To those out there
There's nothing wrong
Don't think I'm square

Found something new
I'm fanatic
Spicy exit
So dramatic
