• Are You There God? It’s Me, Sydney.

    To Be Well-Fed

    To Be Well-Read

    To Be Well-Said


    I do not even know if I should call the above a poem or me just trying to be funny-style with rhymes. Me paraphrasing (badly quoting) Langston Hughes:

    I’m not here to do tricks with rhymes, I want to change the world.

    Well Mr. Hughes I just did both, so have-at-cha.


    Strange Tithes

    Are You There God? It’s Me, Sydney.

    Could I bug you for a kidney?

    Or how bout’ two-fifty?

    By all means, keep the change.

    You yourself know, that the collection plate and I are very much estranged.

  • Walk Into The Sunshine

    Its weird being a writer. I just had to get that out.

    Summer is here, unofficially. Today is the last day for a spring breeze, as the sun is going to barrel its big wide butt down unto my area starting tomorrow, with no rain in sight. I took the opportunity to seize the clean air now, and do something I never really connived doing before:

    Go for a walk.

    Maybe I needed to sweat the morning caffeine out of my system, maybe I needed to get into the habit of exercising, or maybe I just needed it. Sometimes you just need something, without explanation.

    Left foot, Right foot.

    One story about walking that has always stuck in my mind is in Genesis 5:24:

    “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (NASB)

    Then its this song my grandmother used to have in rotation, The Spinners rendition of Vaya Con Dios.

    Go with God.

    The One Who Walked With God

    Written on December 17th, 2023

    This will be a story that slaves pass to their children 

    And of those children all the way down to the rapture day 

    They themselves, will finally see God 

    But not all will walk with Him 

    But those who hold on to love, will 

    Long ago, there was a man named Enoch  

    Who dearly loved God, and God dearly loved him 

    God saw that the world was wrong  

    And the world was torturing Enoch 

    But Enoch still had his love  

    So, God, in the name of love, took Enoch away 

    He walked with him, into a bright light 

    Enoch did not die  

    Those who hold on to their love will not cry 

    Those who hold on to their love will not die  

    Those who hold on to their love, will fly! 

    Be that of Enoch 

    Be that of Elijah 

    Be that of Jesus 


    Again, its weird being a writer. But I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂
