No one seems to know
nor do they understand
the way to heaven
is always open
That
it’s there
Always
at their command.

Why has it happened
Where will I be
When oh when will it move on
To the past so far behind me?

Answers I don’t have
Answers I wish someone
Would share with me.

My New Pink Pen
July 30, 2020
My new pink pen
Flows along the lines
Leaving behind thoughts
Coming thru my mind.
My new pink pen
Laughs along the lines
Saying funny things
Leaving a smile on
My reader’s face.
My new pink pen
Doesn’t take no guff
It writes words needed
To tell the story right.
My new pink pen
Lays quietly on my page
Waiting for the words
To be created
Formed into lines
Sent out for all time.
My new pink pen
Has a mission
The reason she’s livin’
I give thanks for having
My new pink pen.

Thinking About The World Today
July 29, 2020
Thinking
About the world today
About all the people who have
Died
Passed away.
Most not their fault
A virus
A plague raced thru
Taking
Their lives away.
Sadness
Not gladness
Is the atmosphere
In this
Our world today.

No One’s Listening
July 8, 2020
No one’s listening
To my heart beat
Nor saying
Any encouraging ways.
When I speak
The echo goes far, far away
Even I can’t hear
It come back my way.
No one’s listening
To anything, anything
I speak or say.

Why I Cry
June 24, 2020
You know why I cry
You know, you know
Life would be easy
Life would be fine
If only I’d forget
Those memories that bind.
For no crying will change
What has happened
Nor make it
Not come to past.
If I lived in the present
Not thinking of the past
Never crying for
What happens in the future.
Let it come
Let it past
Now is my time
Now I must make it last.

Feeling Lonely And Alone
June 18, 2020
Feeling lonely and alone
Trapped on a treadmill
Going nowhere
Not back home.
Heart is broken
The sky blue
Tears fall
Masked as rain.
Dropped by a hand
Who doesn’t blame
Anyone
For the shape I’m in.
Only suggests
I must stop, turn around
And
Begin again.

Remember When
May 28, 2020
Remember when a laugh and smile
Were the only thing that made
The day’s itinerary song?
Remember when laughter
And carefree days lasted
All year long
The thought of winter didn’t
Come to mind
Didn’t come along.
Then there was when
A door opened up
And seriousness came along.
No smiles, no laughter
The whole day long
Winter winds blew
And the heart was frozen
In sadness
Crying was the only song.

In The Distant Past
May 26, 2020
I have lived before
I have lived a life
In the distant past
Good or bad I had
A life before memories
Faded
In the distant past
They didn’t last
As new ones evolved
Different but built on
That life lived
In the distant past.

I Know You Couldn’t Possibly Hear Me
May 21, 2020
I know you couldn’t possibly
Hear me
I know I’m in this alone
But still I feel the road
Isn’t travelled by me
All alone.
Presence, shadows hover
Near and above
Whispers in silence
Make my heart beat
As I pray for help
From those I have loved.
Now is not the time to cry
For I’ve been given
A chance
To move forward
move ahead.
Trusting in
What I know is there
Not seen
Just
Only in my head.
