Re-Freshing

By Theodore R. Goyins III

Starting over is the hardest thing in the world for a man or woman with pride to do
Changing what they are used to and exchanging old habits for new
Life has times where the only thing left to do is to start over
It has been a constant struggle for me to deal with this situation
After many tireless days and sleepless nights, I realize that it is time for a refreshing
For someone who was once on top of the world and thought he had life by the horns
To say the least this is a task in itself

Earth Love

By Theodore R. Goyins, III

I am one in the Earth
Hugging trees as the wind blows its' leaves
As it too blows, I sway to and fro across its' base
Enjoying the natural motion of its limbs
The center of my core warming to the effect of the center of you
Transforming as the seasons turn your leaves
I too can adapt with a change in climate
Displaying the beautiful picture of what nature causes
The serenity of your waves crashing at the shore
Erasing the memories of yesterdays traffic
I am in love with you naturally

Confused

By Theodore R. Goyins, III


Life is confusing in itself
Leaving all participants in its game in disbelief and distraught from the actions it takes
The turns and movement through its course causing motion sickness
I am not against opposition or detours
Nor am I against the ambiguity of what my life has to offer
It always leads me back to where I started and where I will end
At the feet of God

Behind the Smile

By Theodore R. Goyins, III


Looking into the frame of the picture
I see a child with the biggest smile and look of happiness
I ask myself
What is this young child thinking at that moment in time?
The smile says that life is enjoyable and this photo-op is a happy time for them
We fail to realize the emotion not captured
So in fact this picture hides a large percentage of the truth
Smiles are often mistaken for that of happiness
But it only acts as make-up, covering the scars and dysfunctions that scorn the life of this child
