I hear you call
I see you
fly
you don’t know
I exist
and
truthfully, neither do I
We fly through our life
we laugh, we cry
but
are we really here
are
we alive?

My Heart’s Memories
May 8, 2026
I went back after several years, to the place where I grew up.
The place where I had many happy times and wonderful memories.
I was overwhelmed to see what time has done.
My Heart does break
My soul knows
The past has gone
It exists
No more.
Times remembered
Times
From long ago past
Have faded in my memory
But
I thought
They’d last and last.
The land has covered
Over
The lane we used to walk
Trees died
Their stark bodies bent
Cracking in the wind
While bushes have overgrown
Where happiness
Should’ve been.
Surrounded
By empty, barren fields
Flourishing weeds covering in
What used to be
Fertile land growing crops
That
Nurtured creatures
Way back then.
Only memories
Now
Only fading memories
Of what was but not now
Or
Ever again.

You Spoke
May 7, 2026
You spoke
but
you didn’t say
words of wisdom
nor
great things
No, not today
Makes me wonder
do you know
what it’s all about?
Or
Just wording words
you’ve heard
but
never cared
thought about?

Solely You Are The One
May 5, 2026
Solely you are the one
solely
What will happen
when you
you’re all done?
Will someone else take over?
Will the job be gone
be done?
I don’t have the answers
I only know
that
Solely
solely you are the one.

Shaped
April 29, 2026
Shaped
in
such a way
Depicting the life
it wishes
to display
No subtle changes
no
great curves
Just a shape of a life
a life
lived
celebrated
in
such a wondrous way.

I Wrote
April 27, 2026
I wrote
what I felt
I felt
what I wrote.
Was it the truth?
I don’t know
It was what
I felt
it was what
I’d seen
what I could taste.
That’s all
it needs to be
for
that makes it real
in
my reality.

Close By And Very Close
April 23, 2026
Close by
and
very close
the world seems
to fly by
We watch it go
wondering
should we be
onboard
or
just let it ride
let it go?

The Line In The Snow
April 21, 2026
The line of snow
tells me
what has been
what
will come again
But
in
the meantime
the line
will
disappear
the sun shine
All will be
spring
all
will be fine

You Don’t Know
April 16, 2026
You don’t know
and
I can’t tell you
what will happen
in
your life
or
mine.
We must be
optimistic
we must trust
the heavenly
has us in their hands
guiding us
through
the darkest night.
I’ll say a prayer
for you
please say one
for me
and
may we come together
joined
in
our destinies.

Falling Asleep, Staying Awake
April 13, 2026
Falling asleep
staying awake
the same
but
a difference
I can’t contemplate.
Each night
when
I go to bed
I wonder which one
will be swirling round
in
my head.
My body must follow
my feet align
for
whatever happens
it’ll start right there
in
my head.
Falling asleep
or
staring straight ahead.
