When it happened
What did you say
How did you rationalize
All the people breaching
The Capital building
Yesterday?
Nothing, no one
Can make it seem right
in
Today
Tomorrow
or
Yesterday.

Have I Been Helpful
December 31, 2020
Have I been helpful, have I’ve been the best?
Looking back upon the year
What would I change, what would I let rest?
No time to dwell, no time for remorse
For I must move forward, look ahead
To the year yet to unfold
And
Anticipate it to be full of wonders
Yet to be told.

Once Again, Once More
December 14, 2020
I feel the heartache
I feel sadness in my soul
Lost and left
I watch
Those trying to climb out
Of deep depression
Once again, once more.
In tomorrow
Will the sun shine again
Will the streets flow with laughter
Will things
Be ever right
Once again, once more?

A World Most Divine
December 9, 2020
I seek to find
the world
in a place divine
No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime
Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right
Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night
This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn
A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

What Will Be The Answer
December 2, 2020
What will be the answer
what will happen here
will we rejoice with happiness
or
will all wonder disappear?
So many gone
so
many not here
I wonder what the answer is
and
will I be able to accept
what I hear?

We All Sit Here
November 27, 2020
We all sit here
Giving not a thought of summer’s hot
Seeds drop here and there
We flutter about with what seems
Not a care
Blissful in winter’s coat
We peck and munch
No time to crack a silly joke.
Santa’s’ coming soon
We hear
But to him we don’t give a care
For we see him
Flying in
Bringing packages
None which
Are for me, you, I or him,
We just sit here
Eating seeds
Life’s good it appears
It seems.

Stories Told
November 26, 2020
Stories told
Are the stories
I tell.
Are they true
Or did I just say words
That make the story
Told well?
Secrets revealed
Bad parts left out
Who knows
How can you tell?
Embellished or truthful
Telling a tale
To remember.
Not because
It’s told correctly
But told well.

Wondrous
November 18, 2020
I’ve heard, I have seen
Things so wondrous
Just can’t believe.
Trees growing
living being coming to life
in the spring
bearing fruit summer
in between falls to winter
when they seem to be
sleeping.
One wonder to behold
to be seen
may be ordinary
but
if you stop, look and listen
miraculous it will become
wondrous it will seem.

Hard To Know
November 11, 2020
Hard to know, hard to see
everything in focus
and clearly.
Readjust, move to the centre
centre of everything.
There in the midst of greatness
You’ll be part of and it’ll be
all of thee.

Place My Way On The Path
November 5, 2020
Place my way on the path
Write the lines
the direction I wish to go
Hear the sayings of someone who’s been there
knows the way
Kindly bless the presence
that guides me today.
