Sailing Tourist
I want to sail and tour
The Caribbean and Bahamas
With a tourist brochure
And no frustrating dramas
On the sea or land
Enjoying the sights
Basking in the sand
Or climbing to the heights
Snorkeling and swimming
Catching a lobster or crap
Watching the sunlight dimming
Let me summarize and recap
Sailing from key to key
Anchoring in a safe place
Where you feel free
Free of the rat race
Not chasing time
No timetables or plans
Life with a simple rhyme
Celebrate and clap your hands
What an exciting adventure
Peaceful and serene
A promising venture
And a natural dopamine
Simply your life
Go with the flow
Throw away the strife
Enjoy God and his show
The mesmerizing waves
The tranquil blue shades
The spectacular underwater caves
The local peoples and their trades
Plenty to see
And things to do
Let it all agree
Just take a knee
Praise our Savior and Lord
Thank you for forgiveness and grace
We will never be bored
Sailing and seeking your face
Slave
I am a slave
To my thoughts
Stuffed in a cave
I had my shots
Stuck here
Wasting away
Not a seer
Wishing to stray
I stayed for a girl
And her daughter
We had a twirl
Not living water
I stayed for my mother
Who is her golden years
Illnesses one after another
Outliving her peers
I stayed for my health
I fight craziness
No problems with wealth
Persistent haziness
A new phenomenon
Snuck up on me
A black swan
A dead sea
I can not inhale
I can not exercise
I can not exhale
I can not energize
Doctors do not know
What is the matter
Go with the flow
Endless chatter
Stuck in this place
Waiting it out
My time and space
I have doubt
Doubt of today
Doubt of relationship
Doubt of future
Doubt of fraternity
A slave to my existence
Waiting for it to end
I am leading the residence
Nothing to pretend
My relationship is over
My health is questionable
My mother will die
My life is debatable
Pretend I might
Fight I must
Chase the light
All in or bust
Fix what is wrong
Seek the solutions
Remain strong
Proclaim resolutions
Resolution to try
Resolutions to strive
Resolution to fly
Resolution to live
Might change your expectations
Might change your attitude
Might rearrange your foundation
Might rearrange your fortitude
It is not finished
It never will be
It is not diminished
It is what you see
See the good
See the opportunities
See your livelihood
See your communities
There is a view
For you to move ahead
It is up to you
You are not dead
All my thoughts
Are influenced by the Bible
Plagiarism in spots
Am I possibly libel
I do not know
But I have read it many times
There is not unique prose
We are not voiceless mimes
The story of Christ
And how to share his love
Spliced and sliced
It is all from above
Above in God
God allows it
Applaud
His grand skit
I apologize
If I copy or paraphrase
I want to emphasize
I want to give God praise
Not copy you
Or steal your work
I like your view
Am I a jerk
I do not think so
I am true
To whom I owe
My gracious renew
God saved me
Through his Son
I am free
And it is done
I have to spread the news
Jesus is the way
I want no one to lose
The possibility of today
Find Jesus today
Repent today
Seek forgiveness today
Believe in Jesus today
Jesus is Lord
And God raised him from the dead
The gospel is not a sword
Just everlasting bread
Bread of Life
Life everlasting
Not senseless strife
Jesus is worth broadcasting
If I use your writing
In an inappropriate fashion
I am not fighting
Full of passion
To share with sincerity
To praise their glory
To explain with clarity
To share the greatest story
I am a bore
Very whinny
A word whore
Not funny
Why tell people your troubles
When they got their own
They do not live in a bubble
Or made of stone
They have feelings
And they have needs
Listen to their dealings
And their life deeds
Turn the conversation around
Quit talking about yourself
And your constant frown
Leave your feelings on the shelf
Pour yourself into others
Be a blessing to them
Ask about their brothers and mothers
And what they have overcome
Offer them a prayer
Make it simple and plain
Something they can wear
To reduce their pain
My feelings will improve
Making it about you
A good positive move
Long overdo
I do not know
Does it really matter
The ongoing show
Life and dreams in tatter
My brain goes dead
My eyes are hurt by sunlight
My sudden falls I dread
My words are not right
A rare disease
A common anxiety
Just please please
Not so much variety
Give me a concern
Give me a fight
Give me a turn
Give me the right
Right to control
Right to fix
Right to be whole
Right to end the conflicts
Conflicts of doubt
Conflicts of pain
Conflicts to act out
Conflicts of strain
I am tired
What is worse
A life expired
Or alone in the universe
I am not afraid to die
Jesus is there
It is not a lie
In the Lord’s care
I afraid to be alone
It is stressful
A great unknown
Very distressful
Why why why
Can I not be content
I want to cry
A great torment
Tormented by what
No human touch
Not clear cut
Or just too much
Do I smother
Do I overwhelm
One after another
Making it my realm
Drive people away
Make them afraid
To share and play
My torments are homemade
I cannot understand
A balanced life together
I demand and demand
All to be hooked by a tether
Can I change
Find a way
To rearrange
My greatest dismay
Confined in solitary
I have friends
We can be merry
But that where it ends
No one to dance
No companionship
No romance
No courtship
I have tried
I have bailed
I have cried
I have failed
It is my fate
To go one more time
Is it too late
To make my life rhyme
Be told
Be courageous
Be bold
It is advantageous
