Can you see me?
Am I
close to you?
Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love?
Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class?
Are you there beside of me?
Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody?
Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up
Supporting me
Till the trail ends
and
we have made it
We are there.

You can hear me
call
you can see me
cry
Yet
no where
do I see you come
to
me
Help me
thru
this that keeps me
trapped
No, not that I’m aware
I hope tomorrow
or
the day after that
I will feel
your embrace
Know that you
indeed
do
care.

I have to seek
I have to find
the answers in this mess
make it
Divine
I reach out
I ask
they look back at me
they don’t answer
blank
is
all I see
I must seek
I must find
all
the answers
to make my world
a place
of
peace
So
Divine.

I see the anger
the fury
Why do I let
this
envelope me?
Struggle to be free
to be
happy
Yet all I see
is
sadness, madness
Scaring me.

Hold my heart
hold me still
let me see beyond
the gate
far, far across the hill
take my hand
let’s walk we two
to a place
where forgiveness
reigns
and
gentleness
is a way of life
There we’ll stay
living
in
perfect harmony
Oh, yes
that
would be nice!

Here I am
waiting
for the right place
and
time
to tell all
you need to know
to
get through
just
another day
I won’t say
anything nasty
I won’t get in the fray
but
I will tell you
you need
to
be happy
even if
no one else
can see your smile
smile anyway.

You know it isn’t true
I know it is
You know you came here
I know I never did
You know the heart is true
I know it doesn’t believe any of this
I know you turn away
You know I hold with kindness
Together we know life
can seem so different
Yet we are here
as one
Side by side
thru all of this.

You told me
I didn’t listen
I went on
my way
Why didn’t I listen
to
your kind words
soft and loud
telling
of things needed
to be
addressed
not allowed
But I didn’t listen
I didn’t say anything
to
stop the sadness
settle the anger
or
quell the foray
No, I did nothing
nothing like that
today.

Let me be
Let me find the solace
I need
to
live life
comfortably
Let me be alone
with my thoughts
to
discover
where they want
to go
Let me feel
my heart
beat
in rhythm
with
the rhyme of life
Let me be
only
the one I want
to be
Let me
Let me be.

What can
I say?
They’re only words
words that’ll disappear
go away
If they’re written
for all to read
to say
will they last forever
or
still disappear
go away?
I’ve written these words
I have spoke them
and
all I can really say
is. . .
I’ll wait, I’ll see
if
they disappear
just
go away.
