In another place, another time
This lady
Was my nursery rhyme.
She held me close, she kept me far
She taught me to believe
In my star.

I’ve Seen A Light
March 4, 2021
I’ve seen a light
to guide me thru the darkest
most treacherous night.
It’s beam radiates truth
love and light
holding my heart, my hand
my sight.
Trusting in it’s glowing light
I make it to the morning
the glorious morning light.

You Haven’t Seen
March 3, 2021
You haven’t seen
nor do you know
the treachery
I can, I will
bestow.
For what reason
frankly
I don’t know.
Bitter
black heart
this
is what I know.

No One Told
March 2, 2021
No one told, no one said
the secrets hidden deep
beneath my childhood bed.
Monsters and thoughts
so deep
didn’t make sense
to a little child trying to sleep.
Only my mother and father
could keep
those things below
my mattress and my sheets.
Letting me just spend the night
counting sheep.

Thinking About, Remembering When
March 1, 2021
Thinking about
remembering when
life was easy
and
very different
Was then just a step
I tread upon
to reach the sky
and
beyond?
Did I obtained
my desires
or
should I sit back,
sit down
and
begin again?

Tomorrow
February 26, 2021
He died today
But really
Tomorrow.
We said goodbye
With such
Great sorrow.
No heart could
Break
As much as ours.
We sobbed and sobbed
We knew there would be
No tomorrow.

My Heart
February 25, 2021
My heart
My heart
Ticks
It tocks
My heart
Loves
And then not
My heart
Lives
My heart
Brings life
And then
My heart
It
Stops.

Courting Life, Fleeing Death
February 24, 2021
Courting life, fleeing death
Time passes
Taking no regard for
The rest.
Holding close, pushing aside
All things
I love, despise.
In tomorrow
The world may change
Leaving everything
Just the same.

Heaven Helps And Holds Me Close
February 23, 2021
Heaven helps
Holds me close
Doors open
Others close
Life goes on
Changing most
Where I least expect it.

Have You Seen
February 22, 2021
Have you seen
Have you seen the world passing by
The ground shifting beneath your feet
The sky
The sky radiating a crimson light?
Have you seen
Have you seen this beauty bright?
