“For nearly 20 years, I have been writing, often daily, to express joy, pain, wisdom, trials, and triumphs. I never know what will come to me, so I keep a pen and paper (or device) available to capture it. Some works are quite bad, while others are good. The remaining works are ‘works in progress’ and will be edited over and again, until the day I leave this world”
Between Faded Memories
By Kevy Michaels
So melancholy
So one with thee
Flowing with the universe
Sailing on the sea
It’s understandable now
But still incredible how
Everything happened
Just as it was meant to be
I’m now floating
But while I’m noting
What’s in the spaces
Between the faded memories
Where I am
…Right here
In a spiritual atmosphere
On this earth
….And amazingly…
My soul’s still with me
Born Again
By Kevy Michaels
I acknowledge my faults up front
Like a Catholic believer in confession
I have no regrets for what I’ve done
I acknowledge triumphs over trials
Like an evangelist I aim to persuade
When celebrating the battles I’ve won
Each choice taught me valuable lessons
Like a Baptist foot soldier
I boldly convey my testimony
Unashamed to praise God in public
Unashamed to proclaim that
Even I have become holy
No longer do I hear the noise of
…Of greed, envy and hate
Like a New Age guru, it all disappears
When I become silent and meditate
To keep the day’s slate clean
I say my prayers again and again
Professing to My God
As if he was Allah and I were a Muslim
It is clear that I’ve tasted divinity
And know just who’s child I am
It is with absolution,
I confirm proudly
That I have been born again
Invisible Man
By Kevy Michaels
I am a silhouette
I have no face
…No eyes…
Nor a smile
I am merely a shadow
The way that I divert the light
As I arrive
Is the announcement that I am here
For a brief moment some may realize
That I exist
My voice commands attention
But only for moments
Then I fade to silence
Nothing is asked of me
Therefore there’s nothing to say
Though my light shines
No one ever notices
It is encased
In the shadow
That I am
…In this place
So I find a dark corner
That blends unnoticeably
Into the background
And with my blackness
To the place where I belong
Because
Here
In this space
I have but one purpose
And that is to observe
Here
I am an invisible man
