Calling Your Name

Calling Your Name

 

Chasing the distance

making love to a memory

Living in the space

between heartache

— and dreams

 

**

 

The Devil’s Alleyway

 

I follow the river

whenever she calls

And answer mountain winds

that blow in the fall

I cross mighty deserts

through cactus and thorns

To brave city streets

— bereft and forlorn

 

**

 

Choice Undetermined

 

Life is about freedom

freedom is about options

Spread out before you

like lines on a map

 

Choice undetermined

awaiting direction

Venturing forward

— wandering back

 

**

 

The Present Surpasses

 

Never embrace

what history rejects

March to the clarion

as virtue begets

 

The present surpasses

what the devil demands

When free will bespoken

— the moment commands
