Edwin Markham

Outwitted by Edwin Markham
He drew a circle that shut me out -
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout,
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him in!

The rose that grew from a crack in the concrete

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

I seek you soul


In the midst of the storm
I seek you soul.
Life's companion
hidden in the heartbeat
of daily doings.

I seek you soul
in my roots
past experiences
history, culture, art, faith
inheritance firmly planted
where not even the fiercest storm
can unearth me.

I seek you soul
flying with wings
feathered dreams
reach clarity
in thin air
and twirl among the colors
breath of invention and imagination
Creating life before the hurricane
that cannot defeat me..
