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.

I don’t write
I clear my head
of
the thoughts
swirling round
coming from those
that
are dead.
They need to say
to
ones alive
“I love you
I’ll help you through life
you will survive”
Sometimes
they’re kind
sometimes they’re sweet
sometimes though
they say
what needs to be said
to help
loved ones
get back up
on
their feet.
I thank them
for
coming
I appreciate they do
cause I too benefit
from
their words
that may be written
just for you.

You know
but
I don’t see
The magic
in
all creation
everything
Maybe
tomorrow
I’ll join
the rest of thee
Feel
the essence, the kindness
the magic
All around
of
you and me.

Let me understand
the way the world turns
never
on demand
My heart may say
words that mean something
just today
tomorrow things will change
tomorrow
is
another day
Then
on that tomorrow
will I understand
how the world came to be
how it turns
and
where upon it
I do stand?

Working forward
Working is a process
To pass thru life
Feeling accomplished
Feeling
I’m doing my best
Will there be rewards?
Will there be stress?
I’m sure lots of both
Lots to look back on
Knowing I did all I could
Knowing
I did my best.

Am I here
am I there
am I
everywhere?
I don’t see how
I am to be
here
there, everywhere
Then
I smell
the fruits of destiny
Then
I hear sounds
pounding
the Earth
deep, deep underground
I know, know then
I’m here
I’m there, I’m everywhere.

I know
I’ve been lost
in the wilderness
of
low self esteem
Climbing out
has been hard
rocks, crevasses
unholy shards
pierce my skin, my life
my thoughts
Still I climb
I push, pull and shove
to
a glorious world
full of
grace, courage
and
self-love.
