Circle of life
Has made progress
Candles not lit
Yet fire burns deep

Created a beat

On the water front

A person who’s
Fully alive
Or like a
Song sung well

Notes stepping
This way and that
Round and back
Toccata and fugue

Eyes well, ground swells
I need to be still
Music reigns supreme



What is a sherku?

sherku: push and shove

When this old world
Starts to push
And shove me,
Need to be still
And let God love me

Dominoes fall
Do you stop them
Or run? Let it
Run because this
Too shall pass

Knowing what he knows?
The question lies
Like a long
Autumn shadow
