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.

Beauty Comes

Beauty
Beauty comes
Showering
Thru my window
Straight into
My waiting heart
No hesitation
Or startled start
Just
Calm enveloping
All that beats
Feeling love
Putting beauty
In
My beating heart.

Knowing When
August 21, 2020
Knowing when to go
When to stop
This is the secret to a life
Not filled with wrought.

When You See The Greatness
August 14, 2020
When you see the greatness
The majesty
You’ll also see the power
And the glory.
No stone unturned
No path untread
No heart lying
Waiting in an empty, lonely bed.
All will be together
All will be suffice
To make this world better
To give this world life.

When I Was Lost
August 7, 2020
When I was lost, nowhere to go
She was there
This I know.
Holding still
Sitting quietly next to me
Not on a chair
But a presence
I could feel, I could not see.
Quietly she spoke
Her hand reaching out
Caressing my spirit, my soul
This being called
Me.
She told of things
That would be
She told me I would succeed
She told me, she told me
Everything.
Her voice so calm
Her touch so light
Her presence it could light
The darkest night.
An angel perhaps
A passing soul, who knows
But by my side
She lived, she stayed
She goes.

I Don’t Know
July 24, 2020
I don’t know
What the heart doesn’t care
Buried in messed up
I sip from a cracked, broken cup
Tears run
My heart weeps
For the love, the mystery
That wasn’t mine
To keep.

When The Rains Fell Down
July 17, 2020
When the rains fell down
The sky was blue
Feeling all the misery
That’s come to you.
Tears of sadness
Heartache blue
Rains fell, not only crying
But to comfort you.

Clouds Thunder
July 10, 2020
Clouds thunder
Rain parts cloudy sky
No sunlight hits a silent ground.
Lighting strikes fear in a heart
Brought to a sudden
Wakening start.
Rain drops on a tin roof
A pinging ring in the midst of a world
Filled with all this thundering sound.
Life and breathe are brought
Given to a earth parched
Thirsting for that thundering, lighting
Rain sound.

Silent Message
July 3, 2020
Silent message
Quiet and discreet
Voicing everything
I just couldn’t speak.

Another Month Starts
June 26, 2020
Another month starts today
Another path lies
Focused in some way
On the dream manifesting itself
In all waking, living things.
Gently, quietly step upon the step
That brings all you want, all you need
To the self that sings
Nature’s beauty
Daring, just to dream.
