Nothing to say not in any way
All has been said
Then left to be
Easy to live with or diving down
Into pure agony.
Nothing can stop all these
Bad thoughts
But you can replace them
With something pleasant
Making your face into a huge smiley.
No, nothing to say
Not this morning, this evening
Not today.

I know you’re there
I’ve felt your sweet breath
upon my face, my hair
your soft voice sweetly calls
from somewhere, somewhere
but I don’t know where
your steps direct my feet
they lead me in a way so discreet
I can’t falter nor wander
you guide me, guide me there
I feel no despair
you are with me where’er I go
I know, I know you’re there.

I look out on the earth
and see
things going on their way.
Birds sing, flowers bloom
bees fly
pollinating all they can
they try.
How can I not see beauty
beauty
there in front of me?
Thank the Lord
for you see, he has done this
all this magnificence
all this beauty.

Feelings are hard to decipher
anger, hurt, happiness or joy
what are they trying to say?
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll know
I’ll have answers
not known, understood
today.

A big milestone
looms in my way
not one to saunter to
not one to bypass or ignore
not today.
Strength and courage
are mustered to surpass
the obstacles seen today
to that tremendous milestone
on my path, on my way.

My father passed away
Passed away many years ago
On this day.
Memories are all I have
Thoughts of yesterday
Whether happiness, laughter
Or crying in a most sadden way.
My father was my saviour
A man of strength
I loved everyday.
He had troubles
Complications like we all have
As we travel thru our lives
On our way.
All this he overcame
Becoming a beacon of light
On my darkest days.

Heard them say
their words with feeling
Heard the tone
and
plaintive call.
Knew my words
compared to theirs
were small
overall.
Understand
they have the stature
believe
their words say
it all
But
I look within myself
and know
I still have to write
those words given me
I have to answer
that
inner call.

Seeking much
Getting none
My mistake
Going round
Going forward
Backward
Sometimes means
I’ll accomplish what I seek
Repeating what I’ve done
Perfecting what I’ve been
Deep breath in
Air billowing out
I live
I am everything
I’m about.

Ideas come
sometimes they flow
then
then sometimes
they stop.
The page is blank
not a thought, not anything
just a slate, a page
that’s clear.
Then
then all of a sudden
they flow
in a rushing, gushing river
that overflows.
What a time, a place to be
for it’s then I know
I have ideas that will grow
and grow and grow.

What I’ve seen
is
the best of you
the world
in all
it’s splendour
that’s
what I’ve seen
No anger nor hate
none
of that
is
what I’ve seen
What I’ve seen
is it true
or
would you remind me
that
what I’ve seen
is
just, only
a lovely, recurring dream.
