Don’t fear the light
Nor the darkness in the dead of night
They will all embrace you
Lead you
With a guiding light.

Don’t Fear
September 2, 2022
The Sun Shines Bright
August 26, 2022
The sun shines bright
Mists have blended
Into the water beyond
No one sees bees
No bats fly
In the expanse that surrounds
Nor does anyone hear
The cry
They’re gone, they’re gone
I rest, I sleep
Maybe there I’ll see
And
Seek a world that once here
Belonged.

Looking Out
August 5, 2022
Looking out upon the vast history
Of life lived
And made better with dignity.
All is well
And will be the best there is
He saids.
As he reaches down
And kisses me
Upon my undeserving head.

In A Time Gone By
July 29, 2022My thoughts are with you Lorraine and Scott.
All my Love to you dear, sweet Kaos ❤ ❤
In a time gone by
We laughed, we cried
We joined hands to understand
The way life goes
No tears were lost
No embrace ignored
We lived it all
Life itself was our reward,

I See The Beauty
July 22, 2022
I see the beauty
The magnificence
In all the land.
As I stand in awe of all
She reaches down
She touches me
She touches all.
She understands.

Trust Me For I Know
July 15, 2022
Trust me for I know a lot
Not that you don’t
I’m sure you know, know a lot.
It’s just that in this time of strife
I’ve been here, I know how anger
Can eat away all happiness
Leaving nothing in your heart.
Please put away your revenge
Your ‘Get Even Tools’
Please see the magnitude
Of what lies before you
And forgiveness be your attitude.

I Have Been Feeling
June 24, 2022
I have been feeling
Not so great
Everything matters
But not at stake.
The life I live
Must be honoured
No too hard
Nor can’t be done.
Understand I can
And
Will overcome.

Before The Light Begins To Fade
June 17, 2022
Before the light begins to fade
See the beauty in all you survey
Let no small thing be overlooked
As you feel your heart pounding
In a life lived with gratitude
Giving all
No matter what comes to be
This, I think
We need to see.

Leaves
June 10, 2022
One Day
The trees were bare
The next
Leaves were there
Cascading
Waving in the breeze
Hiding treasured nests
Deep within silent
Green leaves
Soaking up the sun
Drinking in the rain
Leaves
breathe life
Into a mighty tree again.

Hear My Heart Call
June 3, 2022
Hear my heart call
Hear that quiet voice
Murmur words of love
Filling all with grace.
Hear my heart call
Words to ease the pain
Sounds made from
A sweet refrain.
Hear my heart call
I’m not alone
Forever with me
In all my journeys.
Hear my heart call
Listen, listen to that sound
Hear my heart
Hear my heart call.
