The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

The Rain Hides My Tears
August 23, 2024
The Water Weeps
August 16, 2024
The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why
August 9, 2024
Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

No Matter What
August 2, 2024
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.

On The Other Side, Sliding Down
July 26, 2024
On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
Hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.

I Have Done What I Need To Do
July 19, 2024
I have done what I need to do
No one else can make
This journey for me
Neither he, she or you.
My heart aches
That you don’t know
This to be true.
But then what do I know
About your journey
That journey, like my journey
You’re travelling too.

Sitting Quietly
July 12, 2024
Sitting quietly
Sitting
Just to be
No angry, no rushing
Not now, not me.
When the weather
changes
And storms blow fiercely
I’ll move, I’ll seek shelter
Til once again I can sit
Quietly.

You Know I Can’t Tell You
July 5, 2024
You know I can’t tell you
The secret to your success
It’s hidden beneath, inside
Your very own chest
The secrets will hide
The truth not told
Til you accept
All you’ve been given
All you behold.

Morning Comes
June 28, 2024
Morning comes
Then it goes
No one knows where
Where it unfolds.
Melting into day
Hiding thru the night
Breaking once again
In the glorious morning light

When I Hear The Sound Of Your Voice
June 21, 2024
When I hear
The sound of your voice
Life becomes so dear
Clouds part, rains stop
And wrens fly near.
No one speaks a word
No one need say
The feelings felt
To convey how
The world is ours
And
We have all the love
We need today.
