    Kyle Walker

    I am the author of nine books. I am self taught in writing nonfiction and poetry. I just write what comes to my heart and mind like visions that match my faith in Jesus Christ. I give glory to Jesus through my poetry and I hope people will come to know Him through my life story and the poetry given to me in inspiration to write.

      Dedication

      Ephesians 2:1-5

      1As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.

      This book is dedicated to those traveling the broken road and stopped long enough to reflect on their journey to Christ, only to start a new one with Him.

      Acknowledgments

      Dear Readers,

      This is a reprint of Ripples of Reflections. I have chosen to change the title to just Reflections and to give this book a better view both on the outside and inside. Plus better editing. I want to thank you for getting this copy and for your support.

      Introductions

      Reflections is a reprinting of my second book, which I had started before book one was complete, but was printed before fully proofread.

      Why I started: before Songs of Poetry was complete I’m not sure why expect I Feel God wanted me to. Around that time I started writing a lot of poems based on healing.

      I also wrote some poems that lead up to healing, also finding oneself.

      The title Reflections was chosen because I feel this book talks about looking deep within ourselves trying to find our true selves. Also gives a reflection of what makes us who we are by those that we choose to have in our lives and what kind of friends help us grow or stumble.

      So when reading this book I hope it helps get rid of the hurt so the healing can begin and the reflection of Christ shines through.

      In this book i have included a small story I wrote called Mirrors Of Reality and some other surprises. Enjoy!

      Mirrors Of Reality

      Well, here I am walking along the desert. How I got here is a long story. I guess I should tell you who I am even though I’m not really sure anymore myself. So I guess for now call me Doe, Jon Doe. It all started a few years ago. I was just about at the end of high school and on my own. I had left home just as soon as I was eighteen. I had barely got my diploma by the way. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do. I just wanted what everybody else wanted money and fame. So there I was fresh out of high school and ready to party. I was walking along one day and read this sign House of Black Magic. So I went in and there was this man at a counter that had a black suit on. He said Welcome to my house of magic I can take you to places you’ve only dreamed about. He started showing me various things, like the magic ball, cards that I’ve seen psychics use on TV. We went into a room that I guess is his pet room where I saw snakes in glass cages. Then we went to a door and when he opened it he said, This is where I keep my magic mirrors. I thought this place was a bit crazy, but yet my interest was peaked so I went in. There were several different kinds of mirrors. I looked at my reflection in one and thought I disappeared. I went to catch up, I had fallen behind. We came to a stop where there were two life sized mirrors covered. He lifted the cover up and said These are my magic mirrors. They can take you any place you want to go. He said What is it that you seek? I told him how I always wanted a fancy car, nice house, and a place to make money. He said Oh, then you would want to take the mirror that leads to good fame and fortune, while pointing to the mirror that had a reflection of a nice car and house just like the ones in my mind. He said All you have to do is go through that mirror and it will lead you to your fame and fortune. Just hand over the $100 fee. I thought that wasn’t so bad and gave it a try. I went through and everything was turning out all right. I got my corvette I always wanted and was making money. I got a top-notch reporting job. Yet I wasn’t satisfied. I felt like something was missing. I felt like I was in a dream or something and all that I had wasn’t real. I got in my car thinking I would go for a drive to clear my head. I put on the breaks and suddenly realized I wasn’t on the road anymore. I found myself in a desert and when I looked back found the road to be gone. I tried starting the car again and wouldn’t you know it the battery died. So I got out of the car, picked up what I could and started walking to where I thought the road was. That was nearly two or three days ago. So here I am talking to my tape recorder that I always carry in my pocket just in case some one finds me and can hear my story so that they won’t make the same mistakes that I made. I’m starting to run out of water and feel like I’m going in circles. At night I think I’m going crazy. I keep hearing a voice calling me, but when I get up to look I see nothing. I keep going back to my child hood years when I first heard that there was a God and went to church a few times. I had blocked that out years ago because I didn’t think there was a God. Why the memories started coming back I don’t know. I guess I was delirious because of lack of water. I fell and cried, God if you do exist why won’t you show yourself and help me?"

      I heard nothing, no sound or anything. I looked back but just found my own footprints. I finally got back up and started walking again until I came upon a spot to camp for the night. I went to sleep but woke up and thought I heard my name being called. It said, Get up and follow my voice. So I got up and saw a light and walked towards it. I walked what seemed to be a mile and came to a water hole that had white bones everywhere and there was a man there. I asked, Who are you? He said, I am the son of God. I laughed and said, I thought you were dead. I didn’t think you existed. Jesus said, Come feel my hands. He showed me his hands and there were scars on them like nails went through them. I said Where were you when things started going bad? Jesus said, I tried but you rejected me. I then said, Where were you when I fell down and was calling you and nothing happened? Jesus said, Did you see the foot prints? Yes, I said. Then Jesus said You had fallen and called me, so I picked you up and carried you. Those were yours? I asked. Yes, He said. I then asked, What are those bones at the water hole? Jesus told me, They were the bones of the ones that came close to the water of life, but rejected me for the last time. Some of them even came to within a foot of it. The only way to get the water is through me. I told them how much I loved them and wanted them to come and follow me. They just laughed and said I don’t need you or said they would think about it and ran out of time, when all they had
