life and death
By Austin Shepherd

death is when you hang up life is when u answer
death is the technological veil through which we gander
death is the question where’s your sting? life’s the answer
life’s a mere few feet from a sheer drop, remission of cancer
death is a nosebleed that won’t stop till you lift your chin up
life is the evaporation of a teardrop from the wind blowing in the window
a brainstorm till you finish up with sin, wronging your kinfolk
life the operation of watching it fall from the eye where is begins tho
death is the speculation of, once again, doing nothing bout it
death is a period that ends a sentence, like Ivon.
life, a capitol letter indented in two dimensions when I’m writing
death is the radius of the compass of life circumscribing
life the plumb and the level of your horizon
life is repentance its incentive is death
to live life more abundantly and endlessly blessed
and In the resurrection, Christ, his image a test
to be passed, raised, advanced exalted and kept
fully alive in a life with the keys to the death
if you decide, is it gone be a right or a left?
a breath, this is the key to life and death
electric beats of a heart in a chest
with a spark from the best
ministering the life beget
a word, energetic sound waves formed flesh
given respect
death is facilitating comprehension of at best
life is the prevention of confusion in it, and rest
and death is what we get when we ain’t given any less,
than life.

leaps of faith
By Austin Shepherd

taking leaps of faith with the grace ,honestly making mistakes, approaching a life taking shape of a smiling face with the craziness of clandestine fame, and enablement untamed ,being trained by the train and tracked by the game played , its all I can ask just to wake up and breathe for another day, sit back and laugh someday its gonna pay, chart a course for a path that’s straight zig zag and amazing,just for today and wake from the day dream!

god please help me
By Austin Shepherd

compounding the rejection and separation with Satan, it seems that exercising demons never ceased to amaze me, searching for valid reasons to escape the matrix, became the preconditions and reasons outlining cases, the personal decisions preconditions and or beliefs, with protracted abstinence , self-inflicted it always seems, left unfinished, unreplenished, can’t wake up from the dream, so gone absconding from a life fit for a king, detained in a semicircle of 180 degrees, held in bondage of responses to life’s questions and subconscious schemes, it all seems crazy but wean make it together all of us as a team, give it all up wash it in the blood if you know what that means singing god will u please help me! change is important because without it wed be on the same track, entwined in t nooses of the vows that we promised and can’t take back, standing stable on the platform of honesty keeps us breathing, you can’t kick out from me what I alone believe in, this is that love arrayed self-explained rearranged amazement, freedom from forgiveness what you’ve forgiven I’ve forgave it true repentance is a moment in which one must stay in detained in your new ways life changed and I must say again god will you please help me? double taking looking around always vectoring looking or that perfect angle tryina find the better me, all in the dictionary up in the word trapped in my reveries, cognitive dissonance within a pictureless reckless parody, my mind was itching for a vision of certain clarity, she. for my loyalty special favor was granted scaring me, upon a chamber in my heart started an electric beat, and my contention left me a part to read where I couldn’t speak, it was so continuous strenuous even to try to breathe, following scriptures bonded indentured to my newfound inner peace now I wish life on the death of my lifeless enemies god will u please help me
