Somewhere

Image
Somewhere, away from the noise and clutter of this superficial life, there is home, a place longed for, a place sought with earnest. Somewhere, back down a road I considered, in the mirror behind, not out of sight, a time when I could listen to the voice that gives me breath. Somewhere, just around the nearest corner, a path few chose, a trail of joy the answer to every saints quest, the embrace every sinner seeks. copyright 2026 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author https://www.goodreads.com

What Do You Seek?

Image
What do you seek? Some seek to be recognized. Some seek to find their own way through the wilderness. Others seek to forego that first step into the valley. Some seek wealth. Some seek political power. Others seek to raise weapons in protest. What do you seek? Some seek to have their image on video. Some seek to destroy the boundaries of morality. Others seek to stand on stage and bow to applause. Some seek to know lust and fornication. Some seek to be not what they are. Others seek to deny their role in creation. What do you seek? Some seek to put things of earth on pedestals. Some worship that which is temporary. Others give demons the status of God. But in the end, when you stand in the light. How will you answer the question. "What did you seek?" copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Sojourn

Image
A single breath, a wind song through pine branches and fields of ragweed.   I have taken another step into the day with desire to keep my path straight.   I seek to find peace even when it surrounds me, for I don’t always recognize my home.   Lead me on a sojourn without conclusion, until I am standing before You.   Lead me on a sojourn to seek what is given, not what is wanted.   Lead me on a sojourn hearing clearly the melody of the single breath on the wind. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
