Do you know where we’re going
Or where we’ve been?
Are the answers questions
That never seem to have been.

Lost In The Wilderness
August 26, 2016
Lost in the wilderness
Lost in me.
Striving to find success
Striving to find me.
Seeing constant
Seeing nobody
And nobody is me.
Why have I lost this?
Why is it me?
Feeling a soft caress
Gently caressing me
Softly letting me see
I don’t need to be lost
I only need to be me.
No lost in the wilderness
No silly lost me
Return that soft caress
That sweet kiss, kissing me
Found in the wild wilderness
That’s where I found me.

Take The Bad
August 23, 2016
Take the bad
Let it rest
Somewhere else
That is best.
Don’t dwell on it
Don’t let it control
Your head, your heart
Your very soul.

We Have No Concerns
August 22, 2016
We have no concerns
That bother us, we take them in
Our stride.
Neither can hardships concern us
If we smile and know the thing is
We’re alive.

Knowing When
August 18, 2016
Knowing when to go
When to stop
This is the secret to a life
Not filled with wrought.

I Remember When
August 12, 2016
I remember when
It was bliss and happiness.
The world was mine
To chose to do
Whatever I choose to do.
No restrictions, no what ifs
Nothing to dim the mix.
Talented, optimistic
That’s what I saw.
I could do it all
Cut thru the impossible
Walk on water
Anything and everything.
Yes, I could do it all.
I smile to see
Those thoughts
That dwelt inside of me.
For life is different now
Than what I did expect.
Not so bad
For I did get
That needed in
Fulfilling my soul
Becoming
What God expects.

Leaves Of Glory
August 9, 2016
Leaves of glory, stems of strife
Planning a world, living a life
Holding happy in a tight embrace
Wondering why
How we couldn’t see pleasure
In all things filled with grace.

Simmering Summer
August 8, 2016
Simmering summer
Blowing away
Falling to fall
All in disarray
Maybe tomorrow
Lights will shine
Reflecting heaven
In all that’s
So sublime.

Silent Message

Silent message
Quiet and discreet
Voicing everything
I just couldn’t speak.

Me, Myself and I
July 20, 2016
Me, Myself and I
Together we go thru life
Me, Myself and I
Conquering strife, living life
Me, Myself and I
No one knows or been told that
Me, Myself and I
Can survive anything if we stand together
Me, Myself and I
Don’t know why life is this way but
We’ll live and love in a way,
Each and everyday
So there’ll be no remorse for
Me, Myself and I.
