Hold the tender
In your hands
Bask in sunlight
Lighting all the land.
Never believe
Your life’s not worthy
For you are mighty
You are mighty grand.

Decisions
July 23, 2019
Decisions to make
Change my life as I know it
Must make no mistake.
Decisions I make
Will be what I live with
A lot is at stake.
Decisions
Decisions to make.

When The World Is Laughing
July 19, 2019
When the world is laughing
And things are profound
Stand on their steps
Then lightly step down.
No holes will be barred
No one will curse or swear
Just jovial laughing
Not one bit of despair.
Hear the world laughing
Join the chorus of delight
Smile with pleasure
Let heartache take a hike.

Hear The Silence
July 18, 2019
Hear the silence
Feel the quiet expanse
Fill it with all of you
All of yourself.
Peaceful existence
Beauty in living a loving life
You can do it
But not all alone
Not all by yourself.

I Have Seen
July 17, 2019
I have seen you are with me
You have been my sole companion
On this trip, this journey.
Never alone, my heart, my soul
Feel your gentle breath
Breathing.
At peace, I am feeling
Your hand in mine leading
Keeping.

So Long Ago
July 16, 2019
So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

Amazing
July 3, 2019
Amazing
How the earth does turn
How it all seems so serene and firm
Amazing
That we don’t fall off
How we can fly high, high in the sky
Amazing
That the oceans deep give us food
Give us nourishing water sweet
Amazing.

I Hear The Howl Of A Lonesome Wind
July 2, 2019
I hear the howl
Of a lonesome wind
Winding thru the trees
Branches, limbs.
Leaving all to chance
She sweeps across the land
Blowing with her
Good fortune, losses
But nothing that holds on
That can withstand.
Her mind is elsewhere
A place she came from
Wandering
Whistling she searches
For that time long ago
When she was so young.

Deep In The Rest
June 28, 2019
Deep in the rest of sleep tonight
My soul does dream so vividly
Life is full, time is dear
Honoured by those held so near.
I awaken rested, never knowing
Time has passed
Troubles solved and circumstance
Seems not to be the threat I feared
So horribly.
No one drew or threw a veil
Upon my sight
Just goodness does
And will prevail.
I slumber now in perfect rest
No concern, no distress
Awakening to light cascading down
Upon my life where goodness
Does and will abound.

The Heart Does Pound
June 27, 2019
The heart does pound
Breath does breathe
Sun rises and the moon
Seeks to shine light
On a darken place.
No one lives all alone
Everyone has a life
Everyone lives
Within their own space.
