Holding on and holding fast
Not letting go.
Til the earth is beneath my feet
The sand whispering in my ear
And wind blowing too and fro.
Then
And only then
Will I let go.

Thinking Of Things
March 21, 2025
Thinking of things
I need
and
want to do
Places
to go
Jobs
to do
Make
videos
Cleaning
too
Thinking
Thinking of things
to do.

My Heart Aches
March 14, 2025
My heart aches
my soul cries
for a time
of clear innocence
a time that time
has taken
to the past
No more to feel
to bask
in rays of light
hearted laughs
Sadness overwhelms
hurt
seems to last
til no more tears left
to sob
crying for the now
distance past.

Each Morning
March 7, 2025
Each morning
I create
Patrice
Each morning
I make her come alive
Each night she sleeps
but
does not die
Each day
I appreciate she lives
she is alive.

I Watch The Squirrels Fight
February 28, 2025
I watch the squirrels fight
edging out one another
for a place at the feeder
for
just another bite.
Sometimes
there’s a truce
Sometimes
a bitter fight
Sometimes
a lone squirrel
eats
til he feels suffice.
Birds keep their distance
stay out of the fight
they wait their turn
a time when
all others have had their fill
All’s quiet
No more anger
No more strife.

Not Theirs
February 21, 2025My heart, my thoughts and prayers
are with Ukraine and their strong heroic people
in this battle
they are courageously fighting.
My heart aches
Seeing armies invade, taking land
Not theirs
Hearing cries, bombs
Flashing
Deadly lights
The world reels
As despots steal countries
Not theirs
They don’t care
If lives are lost, hearts broken
Life torn apart
Seek a way to stop
This annexation of what is
Not theirs
Please God
Please show me
Show me how today.

I’ve Seen Your Sweet Face
February 7, 2025
I’ve seen your sweet face
Smiling
Full of grace.
All
I can do
Is
Try to be as great
As great as you.

Let The World Turn
January 31, 2025
Let the world turn
resolve the problems
that really are not our concern.
Let the sky be blue not with sadness
but remembering memories not gone
not lost from me, from you.
See the earth tremble
cry in anticipation of wondrous joy to come
never seeing anything but a good outcome.
That’s what we should see when looking out
looking at the world and all the things
that will become.

Hold It Still
January 24, 2025
Hold it still
Let not the movement depict a sound
For in the quiet all will be answered
Salvation will abound.
