Prayer

Don't say a prayer for me

It's very unnecessary 

Why would God send an angel, see

When you're right next to me?

Thought shepherding

Throughout the day

all these thoughts 
pop up in my mind
and I try to catch them 

but they fly away

just before another thought stops

just for a sec, then is gone. 

Before bed I round them up
into my thought pen

But when I'm sleeping 
they wander 'round 

and are gone the next day.

Fall time

I go out in my green jacket

And the sky is gray

The air is cool 

And kids are out of school

The bus is crowded

The street is full

But there's a solitude

That fills me and my

insides feel good

I can feel it 

Coming up from the street 

through my shoes

the cheesiest feeling,

while walking down the street

Not the excitable soda pop kind

But the mellow yellow gray kind

Of happiness

Greatness

Dr Seuss, Shakespeare 

and Eminem

Are very different yet

Amazing men

Their greatness is hard to deny

And that greatness lies

In their ability to rhyme.

Drawing stuff

Sometimes I think

Of how some colors and shapes

And lines put in specific places

Can come together and create

complicated things like feelings and faces
And it's kind of amazing
