Figuring
trying to figure it out
can’t understand
the way, the procedure
to get it done
figured out.
Will work on it
I’ll think about
what may be the way
to do this, get it done
to
figure it out.

Figure It Out
March 30, 2022
I Seek But Will I Find
March 24, 2022
I seek but will I find
The lost, hidden
The divine.
No path is shown
No way is clear
Trudging onward
Holding on to thoughts
Of what may be
Near.
Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing
Sometimes
Good things
Stand
Being there for me
To embrace
Hiding
In
Plain sight.

Have I
March 7, 2022
How have I come to feel this way?
Where will I go on this another day?
Have I been there before?
Have I passed by this way?
Will I go beyond the horizon?
Become lost in the sun’s rays?
Answers I question
Questions I’m asking
Today.

Not Theirs
February 24, 2022
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 Watch The Squirrels Fight
February 23, 2022
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.

Haven’t Found The Words
February 22, 2022
Haven’t found the words
to say things
buried
deep in my heart
hidden
far, far away.
Will they give me
the secret
the key to my life
what needs to be said
what needs
forgiving?
Or
Have they already been said
those words
I’ve been seeking
needing
buried deep
already giving?

Ever Wonder Why?
February 18, 2022
Ever wonder why?
Ever think things happen
On a line
You can’t deny?
Ever wonder why
Answers come
But don’t seem to be
The ones asked
Or seen technically?
Ever wonder, wonder why?

The Knowledge, The Answers
February 2, 2022
Hearing, listening
for
the knowledge
the answers
I need, I seek
It may be tomorrow
or
the day after that
They’ll come
the knowledge
the answers
will appear
I know
Just like that.

Falling Softly, Laying Quiet
January 28, 2022
Falling softly
Laying quiet upon the ground
No sound tells the story
No wind whispers words
That made snow
Come falling down.

You See
January 19, 2022
You see
I’ve been there too
I know the heartache, the sadness
Nothing, no one is left all alone
You see
someone, somewhere has been there too
we’ve never been alone
You see
now you can be for someone else
the same as was done for you
You see
I know you see now too.
