You know the answer
You know what’s sane
You know no one can make
Your life full of pain
The only one who can
Is living there in you
And you must make sure
No one lets it happen
No one
Not even you.

To Cry Is Human
October 7, 2016
To cry is human.
It shows you care.
To laugh is human.
It shows you have joy.
To anger is human.
It shows you feel.
To remember is human.
It shows you have been.
To die is human.
It shows you have lived.

On The Hilltop
October 3, 2016
On the hilltop
In the horizon
Cradled
By the blue filled sky
I’ll know
The answer
I’ll know
The reason why.

I Am Me
September 22, 2016
I am not a failure
I am me
I am not a success
I am me
I am not another
I am me
I am me.

When The Answer Does Arise
September 21, 2016When the answer does arise
May I be ready, not surprised
May I act upon
The words filtering thru
My head to my heart
Unperturbed.
No one else will hear
That sound meant for me
But I must recall
All the times leading up to this
Not forcing me, just acting on
The answer resting on my lips.

The Meeting Of My Mind
September 19, 2016
With the meeting of my mind
Seeing
Feeling all
That can be kind.
Acting on the narrow line
Lost
Between ridiculous
And the most kind.
No one has to tell
The outcome
Or
The story well.
Just be there
In the moment
Give
Offer kindness well.

Figure It Out
September 16, 2016
Figure it out one step at a time
Walk with pride
Sidestep
Even if you have to duck and hide
No matter the reason the answer is there
Its up to you to find out where.

Do You Know
August 31, 2016
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.
