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?

I Cry, So I Cry
February 19, 2021
I feel the heaven and the lie
I know the answer I sigh
Nothing is respectful
Nor is it what I need to know
I cry
So I cry.
I see the heaven
I see the ocean’s die
I am part of the earth
Scotched, bleeding dry
That’s why, that’s when
I cry
So I cry

Hear The Call
February 18, 2021
Hear the call
Beckoning
For the heart lives
Welcoming
See love
Opening
Giving all
Giving everything.

Will I Show You Who I Am
February 12, 2021
Will I show you who I am
Will I reveal the face
I know I’ve been?
Will the lines of tomorrow
Be etched
Across my taunt skin?
Will the ones
That happened yesterday
Be still there
In a full or forced grin?
I don’t know the answer
Cause you see
I don’t know who I’ve been.

The Truth
February 11, 2021
Is the end the answer
Will the truth be told?
No more to wonder
No need to scold
For the truth is the answer
The truth is what’s told.

Home Again
February 9, 2021
Home again
Home to stay
Wait til happiness wains
Then I’ll go away
To a life of my choosing
Where I’ll make it
Home
And then once more
I’ll be home again
Home to stay.

I Watch You Be
February 8, 2021
I watch you be
The very best
You can possibly be.
No ifs ands or buts
All straight forward
All the very best
That heaven gave
You to be.
