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.

Do You Know Me
April 10, 2026
Do I know you?
Do you know me?
Do you wake in the night
Wondering how I could be?
Is your first thought in the morning about me?
Your last question as your eyes fall asleep
Is it, is it all about me?
I didn’t think so
I knew it wouldn’t be
Cause I never think of you
And
You don’t know me.

Keep Me Whole, Keep me Sane
April 8, 2026
Keep me whole
keep me
sane
all the rest I’ll handle
as
I pass down the road
to
the lane.
I may
not
know everything
I may
be
just a little spoke
in
all the world’s happenings.
This I know
but
if
you keep me whole
keep
me sane
I’m positive
I can do almost anything.

When I Look Back
March 30, 2026
When
I look back
I see a life so different
so not
the present me
My heart
beats
my eyes see
but
not the way
the way it use to be
Maybe
I’ve grown
maybe I’ve lived
different lives
from an enfant
to
that young girl
oh so lost, asking why
Then
I seen my life
my existence
in a frame
of nature’s beauty
full of kindness
and
singing so sweet
It became the basis
of
how I live
how
I enjoy and love
Letting go
of
anger
sadness so bleak
those things lived
back there
in
yesterday
Those things I now do not seek.
