Souls Unite
Darkest night
Souls unite
Melding minds
All mankind
Spirits passed
Souls recast
Godliness
Consciousness
Born of one
Father, son
Pre dawn light
Souls unite
Young Hearts
Two young hearts
Made of Gold
Two young hearts
Brave and bold
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Learn all day
Swim at night
Homework, play
Sleep, goodnight
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Competition
Keep the pace
Some are won
Race, race, race
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Two young hearts
Digging deep
To impart
Nothing’s cheap
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Set a goal
Give their all
Swim with soul
Then stand tall
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Two young pups
Taught their Gram
Don’t give up
Who I am
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Fight the fight
Write, amend
Overwrite
‘Til the end
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Two young hearts
Made of gold
Two young hearts
Brave and bold
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Soul Journey
How long I’m here
I do not know
To choose the path
On which to grow
One’s steep with rocks
and overgrown
The other flows
to parts unknown
My choice to float
the river’s race
Without a care
Or effort placed
But soon I find
I’m in a scrape
Rapids, boulders
There’s no escape
Learn to paddle
Find the courage
Steer my vessel
Dodge and portage
I’m here to learn
Life’s lessons taught
To grow my soul
To give it thought
I take the task
Where’er I roam
It’s mine, all mine
‘Til going home
Connected
Voicemail, email
Morning chores wait
Facebook, Twitter
I’m connected
Texting, Linking
Never see a face
Or touch a hand
But I’m connected
Day is done
Gone the sun
Missed its fiery rays
But I’m connected
Birds sang in chorus
Flowers flaunted brilliance
Did not hear or see
But I’m connected
Have I missed the moment
Pulse and palette
Abundant buffet
To be connected
My wheel of life
Unable to turn
One spoke unbalanced
To be connected
Sightless eyes open
Awakened, I
Taste, touch, smell, hear
To get connected
With my soul
Humanity
Life
Connection!
