Tender mercies envelop me
Hold me still, holding me.
The solace I need
Comforting, showing me.
Suffice to say I feel comforted
Safe, in the arms of mercy.

Tender Mercies Envelop Me
August 6, 2015
Feeling Down, Don’t Know Why
August 5, 2015Feeling down, don’t know why
Heart is cold, feeling nothing
Nothing that can be told
Or reasoned why
Angry most of all at what I don’t recall.
Then there is my head
My mind it’s telling stories full of dread
It saids there is no way things will be right
Just give up, curl up and sleep
Til late tonight.
That’s when my heart beats up
Pounding, ‘Don’t give up!’
I can make it right, deep breath
The rest will come
Before falling of sweet night.
Listen
Hear things dear to your heart
Let your mind wander but don’t let it start
The bad, the sad or that which will taint
The faint of heart.

Let it show strength isn’t all that wins

Carefully Watch, Carefully See
July 2, 2015
Carefully watch, carefully see
The world evolve majestically
Don’t stop the trend
Don’t be part of those who halt the flow
Carefully watch, carefully go
See dignity, see might
See love and everything you need
As you go towards the light
Carefully watch, carefully be
The secret to a life you need
Carefully watch, carefully see.

Strive For Happiness
June 24, 2015
Strive for happiness
Creating love
Narrow the corridor
That harbours anger
Let it sink deep into murky mud.
Never saw it coming
Never heard the cry
Maybe in the beginning
I didn’t understand
The reason why.
Now that is over and it seems
The clouds have begun to dry
I’ll take my happiness
And make love
The reason why.

Strive For Life

Strive for life
Seek health
And feel love.
No more can one ask
No more can a heart embrace
A soul know.
No more.

The Way
June 15, 2015
When someone is calling and can’t see their way
When hunger and anger evolve in a horrible way
When birds fly south in a most mysterious way
When storm clouds fold, pummeling all in their way
Is
When the earth shows, she knows
The way.
