Two Hearts

We exchange solemn vows
Then a matrimonial mystery
Wrought by the hand of God
Two hearts become one
Feelings get complicated
No more me, myself and I
Rather us, ourselves and we
As two hearts become one
Vague is the union at first
Profound it gets with time
Bonding with each experience
Two hearts are becoming one
We hear each other's silence
Feel one another's hidden pain
Detect what comrades fail to see
When two hearts become one
So a man and woman break their vows
Apart, they feel a breach
Piece of each was left behind
Two hearts have become one.

The Global Search

Somewhere in life we sense an inner void
No one ignores this call
The desire for fulfillment
Is common to us all
We meander through the maze of life
Seeking the solution
Trying this and trying that
Ending in confusion
'Cause life is a mirage
Its possibilities abound
Filling us with hope
Only to be let down
The search goes on, the focus changes
From earth to high above
There we find the void's cure
Our heavenly Father's love

The Writer's Pen

Smaller than the wand magicians use to thrill
Simplier than a battery by which we power things
Quieter than the wind that moves the skipper's sail
The pen of a writer's yet mightier than these
With alphabets it stirs the human soul
Through truth its message stays in vogue
By craft distant worlds are conjured
Wielded by a friend that readers never know
O' pen, why lie still while slews are waiting?
Challenge, inspire, inform, dream even
Lest the things you fail to scribe never be proclaimed
And the lives you were to touch never be fulfilled
