A Poem by Elvis Gilley
"

God has a way of guiding us all.

"

Tree of life

confusion's way

 

Palm branches

like despairing hearts fall today

For the paths of chaos

have pulled them astray

 

jungle of dreams

lie ahead

Muffled words

are all that are said

 

Harmful paths

map my journey

Bleeding soul

in need of a gurney

 

 

Pity's ivy

entangles my heart

From thoughts of the past

I must part

 

Yellow needles

cowardly fall

choosing to quit

forsaking their call

 

Loving leaves

fall by the wayside

much like the anguish

I have cried

 

House of rage

crumbling down

along a sea of desire

I find myself drowning

 

 

 

Then in

September bliss

I stumble

upon a blessing missed

 

Beneath the root of bitterness

lies, love , beauty unforeseen

However this day

my eyes were keen

 

A heart full of love

in need of care

a lover in love

looking to share

 

Bare shores

from loves despair

Thanking God

for his tender care

 

Big brown eyes

that says I love you

Anointed blessing

I hold onto you
