No writing this morning
no words to be said
everything left on my pillow
the words, they slipped
right out of my head.

Nursery Rhyme
July 29, 2021
Dismal failure
comes to mind
when I recite
a simple
nursery rhyme.
They speak of laughter
a joyous time
while in my heart
cries of disaster
no merry
nursery rhyme.
Dark place
that’s what I feel
what comes to mind
reciting
nursery rhymes.

Curiously Wondering
July 20, 2021
Curiously Wondering
What is to be
What will become of my world
My life
In the years to come
To be.
Will I grow old
Hair turned white
Or
Just go to sleep
Forever
One night?
Questions asked
Answers
I don’t know
Time is the only one
That
Really knows.

Heaven Help The World Understand
July 16, 2021
Heaven help the world
Understand
There is no tomorrow
If we don’t stand and
Let nature be around.
We alone cannot supply
Our food nor make rain
Come pouring down.
Understand
We are but a small dot
In a world
Simply
Spinning round.

What Have I Done
July 13, 2021
What have I done
and
where will I be
in
a year
decade
century
Will I know
know
the time to let go
to let be
Will these answers
come
in a rush of clarity
or
quietly while I sleep
peacefully.

The Heart Is A Treasure
July 9, 2021
The heart is a treasure
Hopefully, never to be seen
It guides, beats life in a body
Where she is queen.
The mind may be king
But the heart, she is queen
Without her
The mind can’t do anything.
Giving life, birthing life
Holding life in between
No one lives a life without a heart
Hopefully, never to be seen.

I Haven’t Been
July 8, 2021I haven’t been
the one to love
I haven’t been
I haven’t been
the one to cherish
I haven’t been
I haven’t been
no matter what you say
I know
I know the truth
I know
I haven’t been.

Innocent Children Lying Dead
July 1, 2021
A day to reflect
a day to stay focused
on tomorrow
making it better than yesterday.
The hurts, wrongs and harms
done in the name
of a God
that would not condone
such tragedies in anyway.
Fill your heart with love
fill your soul with remorse
for the small
innocent children lying dead
in shallow, unmarked graves
undiscovered
til just yesterday.
They had done no wrong
snatched
from their mothers and fathers
one terrible
fateful day.
Send support
for survivors that made it thru
endured torture, harm unmitigated pain
for no reason
not ever, not never
in those horrible years
terrible days.

I’ve Heard The Sound
June 30, 2021
I’ve heard the sound of the earth
Rocking too and fro
Even thou she doesn’t make a sound
I know the earth is there
I know her heart spins
Round and round
But still
She quietly stands
Stands still for me
I am
On solid ground.

The Best I’ve Ever Been
June 3, 2021
I know I haven’t been
The best you’ve ever seen
I’ve tried, I tried
But after all the manoeuvring
It hasn’t happened
It hasn’t come to be.
I haven’t seen my way
And settled with
The acknowledgement that
I’ll be the best of me
The best I can
The best I’ve ever been
Today.
