some of my poetry

Oneity

One word.
Is all it takes.
The word that describes,
“that type” of person.

You see “that type” of person
and instantly
that world
Hits your thoughts…

What is that word?
Lazy
White
Minority
Different
Hypee
Special
Young
Old
Immature….

What’s the word?
You see “them” all the time…
What’s the first word,
that crashes your mind?

Now think about this…
Do you know them?
Do you REALLY know them?
More than a face,
more than a common “Hi”

Do you know them?
Do you know their heart?
Do you know their background?
Do you know there deepest need?

Unity,
Doesn’t just happen overnight.
1 Corinthians 12….
The ability to see
Beyond the
“Uniqueness”

the ability to share the
kindness.

The ability to laugh together,
Cry together,
And break bread together.


Unity,
One word….



Oneity.





Drop

The world spins
with one single drop.
One here
one there.
Harmful drops,
Helpful drops,
Healing drops.

A single drop can
well up
in the eye,
slide down a cheek
And wet the ground below.

To much laughter
can make a drop
well up in the eye
“Laugh until you cry”

A single drop
can go
from a plastic bag
Marked “Chemo”
Into a plastic tubing
of an IV,
Into the blood stream;
of a very scared person.

A single drop can
multiply and become
several drops taken out
of the body.
Put back in
for a person with kidney failure.

A single drop can come
From above
And create
Beautiful oceans,
Lakes,
Rivers,
And streams.

A single drop
over time
Can tear down,
and destroy
caverns,
canyons,
and people.
Even the simplest
Of things…
Boiling water
Begins with a single drop.

It’s strange to think.
A single drop
can bring
Life
or
Death.

It can release,
It can harm,
It can help
It can heal
It can create.

Amazing the power of a
Single drop.


To let go

To let go
to let oneself
have freedom
to not be restricted
to what and when.
To let the walls down
and let the world in.

To let go
let it ALL go!
To not care
who is there,
who is watching,
who is around,
and to just,
let GO!

Let go of the good,
let go of the bad.
To not have to hold
everything together
all the time

To lose the face;
the smile.
And just be.
Be who you are
and to be okay
with that.

To not act
like something your not
to not have to pretend,
To be who you are,
ALL of who you are
and to not change
to make others happy.

To give up the facade
give up the idea of perfection,
and let go
of the control.
To be willing to say
"God I want to become
all you created me to be,
and I don't are what it takes."

To be who you are
To let go and let God.
To just let go
and
BREATH
