"Shhhhhhh....and Truth Will Come!" © Man fears the quiet moments, When truth is loud and intruding, We avoid self time, And crowd our space with nothings, We run from idleness, The state of mind that connects us to reality, our past, our future, We fit in fever trying to avoid the silent truths. Rushing off, creating noise, unwanted company, Just to stay clear of sanity, We'll bog our minds with stuffs and things, Just to avoid the truth silence brings. If we meditate for a moment, We'll mend the lost millions, The millions of minutes we have filled with chaos will now mean something in life, Those minutes will create meaning, And that meaning will create a new soul, A patient soul that will listen to truth, Allowing logic to merge with spirit, We fear it, Silent truth, The calm that soothes. Have a quiet moment; get to know you. by…..HS3

You delicate, You pure, You kind, You are my sweet. you make me want to rule, to protect you from death, i wish to save your heart, i want to be your king, your day, your light, your mist. Delicate as day, Pure as light, Kind as mist, Let me rule you, sweetly. by....HS3
"Untitled" © I'll take flight, As soon as I know where I am goin, I'll be off and stirrin' amongst the stars, Battlin' the boastful, And urgin' the timid, I'll take flight on a bright Sunday morning, And each day will be as blessed as the Sabbath, I'll line the clouds with my streams of laughter, The rains will shower joy drops on my people, And float on I must, To the next land. I will grace the grass as I pass, Dancing over every plot, I will pray for hearth and growth, I will dance; for this land I will dance. I will descend to the hallowed pits of Asia, I will shed one salted tear, I'll bend, fall and shed one fit tear, I'll rise in flight again, And watch the coolness of my sob spread through the land. At hand, I hold two rocks full of blessings, I'll divide their existence, Spread the remains over a land that knows not rain, Blessed waters will cover the droughted land, Grain and greenery will grow again. Off to the sea that washes me, I plunge into its depth, I'll sing to the weeds and speak to the top wave, Encourage power in their motion and evoke a gilled harvest. I will rush back to the skies, View my works, Smile in pleasure, The greatness in my effort, The power in my doings, I acknowledge and respect where I am and where I will go. Note**In order to improve earth we must have a mission lined with compassion.** by... HS3
"I Would Kill Death" He said " I would kill death" over your love, I'd stand in front of roaring tides, Professing our/your love, My life minus you equals cheap, Senseless spending, Wasting time here on earth, When I would need to be where you are, I'll face the one thing that could possibly take you away from me, Death, I will face it, Destroy it, and love your soul on, I will trample it's flames to simple smoke, I will rip its jaws as far as south and north will go, So that you know, So you stay, Here in life with me, "I would kill death" for your love. by…..

"He Graced My Nightmare"© Dark, That crept from the night, Stole my heart, That escaped from the forest, Filled my soul, It was dark fear that came unto me, Unexpectedly, My joy was drained, And nothing but numbness remained, Then truth struck, The message was clear, Lord you are the light of life, Whom shall I fear, Then, I opened my eyes, Insight, new life, A chance, to live in his brilliance. by...HS3
"Only A Fool"© I am grace, Spirit, Comfort, I am I am, that I am, The Breeze brushing your lobes. I am life, Love, Living, I am I am, that I am The Seed of your blessings. I await your end, Hoping you'll render spirit, I await your glory, Expecting your radiance. I am the Silence that spoke to you, The Wind that calmed, I protect you daily, Applying My balm, I am the End of your troubles, The Beginning of your bliss, I am, that I am. Is there such a man that would doubt My divinity, Or even stand against My wind, Is there a rash child that would laugh at my storms, Walking openly under my thunder. Only a fool know not, That I am I am. by...HS3
"Not One"© Agony called for an audience, But no one stirs from their sleep, Pain asked for a moment, Not on soul rendered. I am moving through this space, Suffering, muffled, But holding up a smile, Because no one wants to get up, Why loose sleep, They don't have the time, Not one minute. Why listen to me, Their smiles are heavy too, They walk in the dark, Naked, cold, Why listen to me, When their hell screams for attention. Burns their dreams and smothers their spirit. It would take just one to listen, One to care, One to stop, To just be there, But if we are all hurting, Living in hell, Where in hell will one come from? by…..HS3
Tell Them Mark my days by your words, Caress my existance with you tales, Turn me into a story, Explain my doings until they appear to be too full for reality, Bring doubt to the man who cannot dream, Paint a picture so clear that a man without vision will doubt that I was here. Mark my days by your faith, Stroke my existance with the power of you professing tongue, Believe with such effort until you recreate me, Radiate me, turn me into an icon, One that will be worshipped by willing, Urge people to believe in the unseen, Merge comfort with the unknown. Before I could embrace the day's beauty the night came, Before they will understand me there will be darkness, Confusion, no time to relate, Slow them down with your faith, Be their light, be the keeper of my aftermath, Reflect my radiance in your walk, Your smile, your breathe, Radiate me. Before I could be whole, Before I could make wonders, I too was blind, Mark my days, regard my cycles, Bring the masses to the light.
Know, No Doubt I might leave you thinking you have experienced the whole of me, It will appears that I have given you my all, Stand by what you perceive to be, In your small space of thought, It is true, I gave my all to you, I was honest and available, But see, you doubt the whole of me because you lack the reality, So settle in just believing, I stand here to tell you what I know, You got it all my brother, full wind, But you won't know it until I walk away. When I have left you and your search saddens you, You'll know I was here, That moment, you will know the whole of me. From the time you set gaze upon me, You had me figured, My broad nose inched room for doubt, My thick tongue etched the crown of your ego, Negro limited, so you believe. My swayed walk parted the airs for your assurance, My rebellion proved your point, So you believed, just black. But as I walk away..... The breeze flowing from my vertebrae will choke your laughter, The space I leave will defile your comfortable commonality, There will be no question, No breathe that would dare ride on the fact that I was here, No longer your personal belief, I am of the all knowing, and now you know.
Bus Me The Bus, Full of girls that bob to beats that no one else hears, Gold-teeth cats waiting to take your back, And old ladies strategically apply their face between bumps, On my way to work, I am truly entertained. The #57 is full of thugs from the East, #5 is packed full of old barber shop kings swappin' jive, If you rolling out on the 12 you will be standing, Swaying at the count of every corner. It's midwinter and I am sweating, Sweating ideas and fighting to maintain, "I'm hard", But these people aren't the least bit concerned about me, They are trying to get to point B, I am entertained, on my way to nowhere, Strained, from the junction I just cut from the 12, But high, I am smiling inside, Only if they knew how odd this shyt is to me, How colorful, how free, I ride satisfied, For 60 cents I got good, I made out, The cheapest show in town is your local bus route.
The Casual (Inspired by Lauryn Hill) After I have laid with you, Played with you, What, What next? Now that we have rushed into the physical, Ignoring the spirit, You really ain't trying to hear it, Now that I have laid with you, Now that I have played with you, Do you really want me. Knowing that I have disallowed you, Removed all vows from you, Stripped you, You ain't valid, I had it, What, What next? Not a damn thing, Be vexed, But understand, Compromising substance for acceptance does not beget respect.
