"Purity"

A Return to Light
The Third Eye of Insight
Blinded by Those
Who Carry Black Hearts
With a Crack Inside
The Light Seeps Through
And a Subtle Energy Pours Into You
A Cloak of Healing that Was Always You
Innocence Once Again
Is Restored And New
Deep Vast Eyes that Sparkle
Radiant and Alive
They Smile For You...

"A Texan Voyage"

Large Portions
Chunks of Barbeque
A Spoonful of Gumbo
A Bite of Pork Ribs

A Stroll through Faith
At Lakewood Church
A Celebration of Second Cousins
Reuniting with a Dear Uncle
After the Tolling of a Decade

A Journey through Texan History
With a Poignant "X"
Marking The JFK Assassination in Dallas

Face to Face with NASA Mission Control
Atop a Vast Houston Skyline
I See Tall Buildings Amidst a Warm Hazy Breeze

Late Night Cups of Chai and Chit-Chat
In the Land of Sugar
The Texan Experience of
"Big, Warm, and Friendly,"
Comes to a Close
Until My Return...
