"BETRAYED BY HER EYES"

I have been unable to dream
for lack of images.
I  am unable to retrieve from
the deep depositories of my mind,
for lack of a connection to
the unknown.

The intensity of her eyes
brings to bare a revelation of
truth and sanity.
When I have within my
grasp the true self, I
discover the reflection in
the mirror.

In the mirror, I can see only
her eyes.  The entirety of
her being escapes me.

Her eyes once again
betrays me.

When The Storms Comes

Who were there when the storms came?
Who has the power to stop it's anger?

Yet we refuse to acknowledge the Creator
of all things.

Who allows us to weather the storms?
The awesome hands of God, as He
chastise us for our trangressions.

We have become students of our
own ignorance.  We have learn nothing
from  God's lessons.

Who makes the earth shake, and the
heavens to release it's rain?

Who makes the thunder roar?
Who shakes the earth at it's core?

From the four corners of the earth,
the wind whisper His name.

GOD!!!
