Poem for June 24 ( Just be you)

"I'm not flexible,"

She said, 

as she 

entered 

the room

I said, "I'm glad 

that you told me"

"Cause I don't 

like to assume"

She looked 

kind of nervous

So, I gave her a smile

And, before I could

say another word

She asked me, "What style"

"What style of yoga

are we gonna do"

I looked her in

 eyes

and just said,

"true"

Then she unrolled

her mat

and kinda' looked

away

As I started the

class,

 on the 

practice

for the day

By the end of the

class, 

I saw relief on her

face

And she thanked

me for the message

of,

"Move at your 

own pace"

And, how our

bodies will tell

us how we

should move

and about the clutter of the

mind that inhibits

our groove

Then with a grin

she said, 

"I get it now,"

"True"

"Yoga's not about 

flexibility"

"It's about

just being

you"

Poem for June 23 (Let Me Help)

Let Me Help

Don't worry bout falling

I've got your back

In my words and actions

and that's a fact

So no matter what's your 

days been

or your occupation

I'll help get you through

whatever, you're facing

,

With a little wit 

understanding

and love

we'll unchain you 

from fear

So you can rise

above

To the sacred moment

of the present

state

But your presence

is required

Don't forget our

date

Right here

on the mat

In this space

with me

Lets return 

  you to

truth

and set you 

free

Quote from June 22

The great thing about working 

hard at your craft

Is, you become an expert

and there's nothing more valuable

then expertise

For June 21 (She's Back)

She's back 

The most beautiful of them all

Summer

With pretty legs and standing tall

She gets the most attention

And, she's always the one we mention

When we reminisce 

on a good time

With attributes nice

she blows our mind

year after year

And, her name so sweet 

upon our ears

that we pray 

she never goes 

away

The wild child

with the pretty

smile

that lights up the 

room

and always seems to

 leave 

to soon

T

For June 20 ( I hear you calling)

I Hear You Calling

I hear you calling 

tribal queen

I'll be back 

real soon to hear

you sing

Your song of passion 

in your pleasing tone

That's why I'm never gone

too long

from you

cause what we

do

is real

and how it feels

is so nice

an earthly paradise

for you

and me

when we

can be 

together

My queen,

 forever

all you ever need 

to do is call

out for your warrior, king,

that's all

call

And once again

I'll make your love rain ,

And blow your

mind, again 

and again

Poem for June 19 - The Dance

The Dance

On the bound

You felt alone

In your wounded heart

remained a stone

Pretty of face

but sad of eyes

And when ours met

you came alive

It made me smile

That meeting of chance

For it was the night

when we first 

danced

Timothy A. Clark

Poem from June 18 -In the breeze

In the breeze

Top down in the breeze

Here one minute then she leaves

Sunsets when she's gone

In the distance 

I hear her song

Care free days

and late night fun

The beautiful lady

 on the run

Timothy A. Clark

Poem from June 17 -The Broken Heart

The Broken Heart

How does it start

A broken heart

In the head

 maybe the bed

Cold, cold

Or in the eyes

they never lie

Unless she's skilled

Then contempt is willed

And without words spoken

The heart is broken

Timothy A. Clark

Poem for June 16 (Be)

Be encourage

cause you can

be you woman or man

Be inspired 

cause you will

See your dreams fulfilled

Be on fire

cause the flames

makes sure your passion remains

Be

Poem for June 15 (Happy Father's day)

Happy Father's Day

Hey Mr. C

when I was young,

 you intimidated me

 Your walk,

your talk 

and the power it

exuded

but  

I grew to realize, later

on, that shit

was smoothest

A man's man, 

that's what you really were

About handling your business

no matter what would occur

A rational thinker

from finish 

to start

And though our

words were

brief

I remember them,

clearly,

Mr. Clark

You'd say, "It's all about

how it affects you"

And, though people 

may not get it 

 "To thine own self 

be true"

And, although, Ma 

taught me how to be a little 

more caring

For your business acumen,

I thank you, for sharing

For being a

self made man

who gave it 

all he had

And even with a

 strained relationship, 

you were still my hero,

my dad

May 

your wisdom

and those

memories

never cease

 Happy Father's day, 

to you

and may you 

Rest in peace

Timothy Clark

Poem from June 14 (Front lines)

U and me r on the front lines

I've had to fight for a long time

and you know, war is hell on the mind

battles won and some loss 

but it never seemed worth

what it cost

devastation has brought some clarity

It's gotta be me for you and you for me

Together we'll bring in better times

Cause it's you and me on the frontline

So much taking and hating, who plays fair

and casualties are littered everywhere

Chaos and turmoil has become the norm

but we crave the calm, not the storm

We stand for peace, peace is love

Of that we can never get enough

Together through the best and worst of times

U and me are on the front lines

Poem from June 13 ( People in Detroit)

People in Detroit

I live in Detroit

not by default

but by design

Don't judge me

for what other's

say about me

but respect me for 

my mind

and, there's many like

me

of all races, colors and creeds

See Detroit's not

just where  

we live

but it's the 

color we

bleed

Hard nosed, tough

and our backs

are very strong

But a more loyal

friendly

people

 you'll 

never meet 

your whole life

 long

So if you find

yourself

in our area

by chance or by choice

Just remember you
can 

always say I have people

in

 Detroit

Poem for June 11 (Burn It)

Burn it

Burn the midnight oil

Earn it

To your passion be loyal

Every second, minute and day

after day

You'll form a union

that will 

never go away

skill, expertise, 

a gift for the craft

Is what people say

as they see you

on the path

But all you know

is you have so much 

more to learn

So stay on your grind

and let the 

midnight oil

burn

Poem for June 10 (I am a Mountain)

I am a Mountain

I am part of the earth but I rise to the sky

for I realize the advantages in both

So in an instant I'm able to discern 

 just what I need the most

I am strong indeed all you need to do 

is view my structor and terrain

A mountain I am, and a mountain I will always remain

 not domineering but humble

For I am vulnerable to erosion and 

parts of me may crumble 

from harshness

and storms

But they come in the eve.

and are gone in the morn.

Where's, I still stand

For I am a mountain

and I stand

 Born of flesh and bone

so I stand

Strong as earth and stone

So, I must stand

Far from invincible

but yes, I stand

Sometimes less than sensible

but I must stand

Angry and broken

and you know, I still stand

Gestured or spoken

Doesn't matter, I stand

Tenacious' 

 outrages,

Through all my 

actions and

faces

watch me stand

through hurt,

hard work,

not for glory

or perks

I will always stand

not for pride

or to impress

any woman or man

 but just like 

you,

this

flawed

 human

Will always stand

because

I am a Mountain.

Timothy Clark

Poem from June 9 ( My Reality)

Look at me 

listen to me

speak

Then tell me

what you

think

and remember

whatever,

you think you

see

It won't 

change my 

reality

Poem from June 8 (life's thing)

Don't stare, it's just hair

and skin

different from yours,

my friend,

But no less valuable 

to the scheme

of this life, doing its 

thing

Poem for June 7 ( Make it happen)

Fall down but not back

Up lift, stay on track

Choice a side in which to go

If that doesn't work 

use the other, for sure

your skin
