I don’t know why
You say the things you do
I don’t know why
I listen to you
I don’t know why
Nothing changes in the sea
The earth, the sky
I don’t know
Don’t know why.

I Don’t Know Why
August 19, 2020
Happiness
August 18, 2020
You haven’t seen
the last of heartbreak or the door
to
Happiness
Sadness, pain frolic on the path
tripping all attempts at prosperity
with
Happiness
They stand there laughing hard
mocking attempts at joy
and
Happiness
Take a breath, a deep sigh
all this will pass and once again
you’ll bask in the pleasures
of
Exquisite Happiness.

No Matter What
August 17, 2020
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.

When You See The Greatness
August 14, 2020
When you see the greatness
The majesty
You’ll also see the power
And the glory.
No stone unturned
No path untread
No heart lying
Waiting in an empty, lonely bed.
All will be together
All will be suffice
To make this world better
To give this world life.

The Bird Flies
August 13, 2020
The bird flies
It’s wings glide across the sky
Floating on the breeze
Landing with grace and ease
To pick up food and drink
Then off onto
The invisible breeze
A friend, a mate flying next to her
Together, they’ll rule the skies
Up where all birds fly.

Memories And Experiences
August 12, 2020
No one knows nor do I share
The experiences I’ve had
Way back
Way back there.
Memories remain unspoken
Words are held with care
Just in case those thoughts
Come out
Get spoken somewhere.

Let It Go
August 11, 2020No I won’t, no I can’t
Nothing is that great
To fight all to get it back
Let it go, let it be
The sun will shine
Regardlessly
I know you know
I think you see
This to be true
In your heart, in your soul
Respectfully.

Answers
August 10, 2020
Why has it happened
Where will I be
When oh when will it move on
To the past so far behind me?
Answers
Answers I don’t have
Answers I wish someone
Would share with me.

When I Was Lost
August 7, 2020
When I was lost, nowhere to go
She was there
This I know.
Holding still
Sitting quietly next to me
Not on a chair
But a presence
I could feel, I could not see.
Quietly she spoke
Her hand reaching out
Caressing my spirit, my soul
This being called
Me.
She told of things
That would be
She told me I would succeed
She told me, she told me
Everything.
Her voice so calm
Her touch so light
Her presence it could light
The darkest night.
An angel perhaps
A passing soul, who knows
But by my side
She lived, she stayed
She goes.

I Feel Your Presence
August 6, 2020
I feel your presence
I feel your breath
Warm and sweet
Upon my neck.
I reach for your arms
Your body most sublime
But empty handed
Here I stand.
I think I have lost my mind
My soul mourns
Wails a tale of sadness
Laughter gone.
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll join you
In the bye, in the already
Long gone.
