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.

I See The Beauty
July 18, 2025
They Thought I Was Crazy
July 11, 2025
They thought
I was crazy
they thought I was nuts
I heard laughter, jeering
silence
smirks that did suck.
From there I went forward
farther than most
believing in my worth
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition
this life
I hold close.

Working Hard
July 4, 2025
Working hard
But seem stuck in debris
Struggling, attempting
Fighting
To get free.
Is help on the way
Or
Am I by myself
Can I pull it off
Sit back, relax
Harbouring no doubt?
This I hope, I do pray
But as of now
I’m stuck
In
Disaster’s stinking muck.

I Have Seen
June 27, 2025
I have seen
I haven’t been
the one you want
this I know
I haven’t been.
Days go by
nights seem
to melt into nothingness
where nothing lives
nothings been.
Still you’re on my mind
and I have seen
there’s a chance
you’ve heard my voice
you’ve seen.
I’m here
I live, I love
I am
a human being.

Hear The Bells
June 20, 2025
Hear the bells
ring
their melancholy sound
Ringing, ringing
Throughout the valley
and
mountains all around
Sending messages, greetings
and words of sadness
so profound
Hear the bells
ringing
Ringing, ringing
Listen
listen to their sound.

Enough
June 13, 2025
More
is
never enough
All
is the trouble with
not enough
Figuring
it out, making sure
I know
what I need, what I have
and
that it’s always
just enough.

A Home Is A Home
May 30, 2025
A home is a home
no matter the width, the size
treasured forever
lived in from birth
to the time you die.
Feel the gentle breathing
of timbers and frame
holding strong
in winter winds, torrential rains.
All are welcomed
with love, no despair
come
step into this home.
There you’ll share
laughs, great food
and
a glass of sweet cheer.

A Hummingbird Came
May 9, 2025
A hummingbird came to my window
today
not seen since
in the fall
when they all
flew away.
Sweet nectar she’s looking for
needs right away
hovering, looking in
she tells me.
Get it ready!
Get it ready!
Get it ready right away!
The little hummingbird
is
hungry
she’s flown such a distance
from far
far away.
Now needs
some sweet substance
til
all the blooms
are
on display.
A hummingbird came to my window
and
told me all this
just this morning
just today.

When I Look Out To Sea
May 2, 2025
When I look out to sea
I see you looking
looking back over
just at me
The waves roll in
and
back out again
bringing with them
a message from overseas
a message
you sent just for me
In my thoughts I touch your lips
say words of love
then send them
on the wind
over water, overseas
to you with love
just from me.

The Truth
April 25, 2025
Sometimes the truth
hurts
and
not the best thing
to hear.
Sometimes its good
to accept the truth
as it is
as it seems.
Sometimes you can
make the truth
the truth you need
to embrace
and
to believe.
