till the trumpet blows

i never want you to think

that i am ok

that i have it together

that there's no need to pray

she texted at midnight

asked me where i'd be

i told her i was roaming

between the land and the sea

it ain't so simple

as it sometimes seems

with all this livin

all this in-between

a time to fall

a time to stand

a time to hold tight

and to loosen your hand

keep on prayin

for every soul you know

this war ain't over

till the trumpet blows

W. Keith Moore has distribution!

God Bless

Susan Stein
President
Heartbeat Records

 

I have some good news. I have a distributor, a very good distributor. Heartbeat Records is going to place my cd's in stores all across the US, and even globally. I am very grateful for this, and hopeful.

 

So, my dear friends, i have a mission for you. Whenever you enter your favorite music/bookstore, ask them for my music. Tell the manager, worker, etc.. to please start carrying W. Keith Moore's music, and say this, "He is with Heartbeat Records."  The more stores that pick it up , the more excited the distributor gets, thus the more promotion and marketing it will receive. It's all very simple and so easy to stir up the pot, especially with great friends like all of you. I am still an independent artist, i still don't have a manager, booking agent, etc.. but by God's grace, now i have a way to get the message and the music to many more people. God is merciful.

love better

every song ever written

every brush stroke on every canvas

every poem ever mused

every novel

every story

all about one thing.

1

the journey of  the soul

it doesn't matter how bizarre

how beautiful

how confusing

how clear

how sinful

how pure,

the soul is WHO we are,

whether we believe in the soul or not

from atheist to terrorist

Buddhist to Baptist

Muslim to Methodist

Judaism to Catholicism

this is all about the "soul of a man"

this is why God became a man with a soul,

through a virgin,

living among us as a poor man,

to bring hope and purpose to our souls,

this is why the cross is our boast,

why we each have our own to carry,

for the good of our souls and others,

if we grasp this,

we will love better.

in a dream

i dreamed last night

a crazy dream

riding in a truck

in the back with many people

most spoke Spanish

i understood bits and pieces

the moon was big and full

it was an October moon

orange, burning low in the sky

i had on a jean jacket

in the pocket was a rosary

when i got it out

they all grew quiet

a girl next to me crossed herself

then we all did

we prayed together in Spanish

we meditated on the sorrowful mysteries

the gospel of our Beloved's suffering

riding down a moonlit road,

in a dream.

Whatever He tells you..

working in a wine store

i sometimes wonder about the angels

every soul who walks in has a guardian

a messenger of God assigned at conception

this, another incredible act of a God madly in love,

with us

Jesus talked about this

"their angels are before My Father in heaven"

i see sadness

false happiness

hunger for acceptance

a desire to forget

pain

bravado

anxiety

joy

beauty

innocence

all of us with our angels

hoping Jesus will make more wine

hearing the words of His mother,

"Do whatever He tells you."

is needed

the rain continues

today was forecast to be sunny and cool

i woke at 5 and it was pouring

raining so hard it shook the wooden deck off our bedroom

for 18 days now

without hardly a moment otherwise,

rain

with this kind of rain comes darkness

sunshine?

it is hidden behind low sullen clouds

we know it is there,

we think

it has to be!

this is a trial for the earth

and the earth continues on

flooded in places

but continues on

we are made of clay

of humus

of dirt

the rain softens the earth

and only wisdom knows how much the earth needs

even though we don't understand

the rain in our lives

is needed

St. Pio

Our present life is given only to gain the eternal one and if we don't think about it, we build our affections on what belongs to this world, where our life is transitory. When we have to leave it we are afraid and become agitated. Believe me, to live happily in this pilgrimage, we have to aim at the hope of arriving at our Homeland, where we will stay eternally. Meanwhile we have to believe firmly that God calls us to Himself and follows us along the path that leads to Him. He will never permit anything to happen to us that is not for our greater good. He knows who we are and He will hold out His paternal hand to us during difficulties, so that nothing prevents us from running to Him swiftly. But to enjoy this grace we must have complete trust in Him.

- St. Pio of Pietrelcina
