Searching for Why: Poems, Passages and Lyrics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999196408)

Searching For Why is more than a book of poetry. It is a reflection on life, faith, and love through my sixty-six years of living. It is retrospective, philosophical, and at times challenging. It speaks of those moments in life of love, heartbreaks, chaos, frustrations, and spiritual discovery that we all share. And through it all, searching for...why?

"Poor choices have short term negative consequences. Bad decisions have long term negative consequences. Try to make as few poor choices and even fewer bad decisions in this life and you will do well."

Ken Wingate

SECRETS HELD

In the deepest part of me

Is the darkest part of me

That none shall ever know

That none shall ever see

The secrets held inside that place

The secrets that I hide

Will never see the light of day

Will still be there the day I die

Don't judge me harsh with pompous minds

Don't judge me in the least

For within every one of us

Are the secrets that we keep

You can lie to all you know

You can lie to even you

But the secrets are still there

So, none will know yours too

GOD IS

God is.

God is not

what men want God to be.

For God is not

a bull-headed he.

Nor is God

a much wiser she.

For God is They,

The Holy Trinity,

yet one Holy Deity.

The Creator, Beloved, and Presence

three spirit entities.

Yes, separate spirits,

in perfect harmony,

as They have been

all eternity.

For God is spirit,

not of flesh, you see.

God is much more

than you or me.

God is and reigns,

in all Their majesty.

God is everything,

and is all I need.

God is,

is what I believe.
