During tough times, your friends are few. When you rejoice, everyone wants to be
around you. I pick my friends wisely,
but I cannot take credit for you. You were placed in my life, to assist with
making my dreams come true… Your reward, will have to come from a higher
being- because I cannot give you the world.
That is…What you deserve.
An Inside Day
Today, I didn’t go outside.
I saw the sun shining through my window.
After the sunset, I lit my candle.
It not only, shined in my room…
But also, let off a wonderful smell!
And I wonder, can the sun compete?
Then, I pondered on the different fragrances of flowers…
And thought…the sun has my candle beat.
The sea is blue…An endless vision of waves.
Clouds form hiding clear skies;No evil and/or ugliness-
Could keep me from this time. With the suns erection,Starts a brand new day-
As well as moment in time.The wind blows strong;
The waves react.The tall trees stand,
As gravity, pushes back.
Within My Sight
I see a mushroom shaped building…
With lights all around-To the left, I see a
bridge,With flashing lights.
I see clouds in the red sky…
Because the sun has just set-
The moon is out now, It’s kind of shy today-
It’s only showing a third of itself…
As I close my eyes-What does this scene
reveal?Is it meaningless, I took the time… To glance out my
windowsill.John McCusker, Times-Picayune archive
I am stranded on the island of love.
Prisoner to its beliefs.The only wrath I have is of anger,
Confusion and disbelief…Sometimes I let the waves-
Run across my bare feet.Hoping for a connection; Between me and the sea.

Tears? I’m a man!
I ain’t supposed to cry. At least that’s what I believe-
My name means mighty warrior, And Silent Thunder is what I’ve been called.
I’ve been on a forty day fast not once, but twice, The mention of my name puts fear in men’s hearts.
I lost my mind and gained it back, In the eyes of a few I am a giant- But all I see is a man who cries.
