The weed is a wild, untamed thing,With no redeemable worth,Growing in forgotten places,On the fringes of the earth.Your form is unconventional,And your colors unrefined,But there’s a weird attraction,To your risky, course design.You bloom where there is no notice,In the cracks and in the dust,Promoting sin’s defiance,And the power of this world’s trust.While you secretly seek […]

No single person can stand before God and declare that they “understand.” Deception is universal. No one […]

Beneath the sky’s expanding pleas, A man on a dock stands by the sea. The weathered wood has memories stored, And whispers its tales of a time before. Sunset hues paint a watery face, On my canvas of warm and welcome grace. Seagulls sing, in a chorus with ease, As the man on the dock […]
