    Change the Order of Things

    From where does your love cease to appeal
    Joy in our love for it is real
    Escape to a place on higher ground
    Remember the times of trifleness?
     There is a such a grace in change
    Holding on to solid ground and standing, just standing
    There is a certain courage in truth
    Building the wall of strength shows openess
    Well all know that there must be pain
    A time for order, in order to change
    Change the order of things today

    IT TAKES TIME

    by: Trevor Claiborn

    The best things in life don’t come fast or free,

    But sometimes my impatience makes me cheat.

    Though I know I’m wrong, trying to rush things along,

    I get mad when outcomes are incomplete.


    The purpose I serve is much more than my own,

    And Nature’s clock ticks much slower than mine.

    I can gripe and pout or just wait the thing out,

    For the Most High works on It’s own time.


    I can have love, prosperity, and peace

    And all the things that make it joyful to live.

    Sometimes money can’t pay for those treasures—

    Only my patience and willingness to give.


    We are all farmers of the crops of our destiny,

    Semi-conscious of the psychological seeds we sow.

    So to yield the best return, we must learn

    To give things time and let them grow.

    THE HOPE OF TOMMORROW
    BY: TREVOR CLAIBORN


    I can’t take back what I’ve done in the past
    Nor can I retaliate on all that’s been done to me,
    At best I can learn from experiences I’ve had
    Shake the chains of regret and be free,

    The future has its own set of tests and trials
    So why dwell upon yesterdays woes,
    My road only changes if I’m willing to change it
    The door of opportunity is never closed.


    I must free up my psychological arms
    To make space for better things to come
    I should dispose of the junk from the past
    And seek the source where all natural treasures come from.


    We are the wardens of the prison in our minds
    Condemned by guilt, regret and sorrow,
    But I stay at peace, when I learn to release-
    Yesterday, and appreciate the hope of tomorrow!

    Thanks LB,

    The Summer 2008 Poetry & Writing Contest went pretty well! There were many brilliant poets and writers who entered outstanding works of literary art.
    On September 11, 2008 the contest winners and their winning entries were posted on The Dare to Dream pages.
    When you get a chance please check it out! By the way, I am still busy day by day moving toward the next Dream Quest One Poetry & Writing Contest deadline on December 31, 2008. As far as I can see, that is right around the corner. I sure put a lot of time and energy into Dream Quest One. It is truly a labor of love.

    Well, don't be no stranger, LB.
    And by the way, your new page looks live and fresh!

    Andre
