Seeing another world in my eye
Looking out
upon the landscape wide
Holding all in wonder
Wondering why
I came to be in this magnificent world
I blink
Blink and can’t believe my eyes.

Seeing Another World In My Eye

Why Not Understand
November 23, 2018
Why not try to understand
All the confusion swirling round
Like a crazy marching band.
Don’t know where, don’t know why
But somehow I need to cry
Release the hurt, set free the sigh.
Move beyond the crazies
Then maybe, maybe
Understand the reason why.

Let My Heart Understand
November 22, 2018
Let my heart understand
The world is open
All is at my command.
Breathe in and out
Feeling magnificence
All about.
Join the world
Bow at her feet
Knowing.
Knowing that living
In accordance to the ancient ways
Nothing is impossible
You’re already on your way.

My Dear Heart
November 21, 2018
When I find you
My dear heart
I’ll hold you close
Never again to be apart.
The pounding rhythm
That signifies we live
Tells me just how to give.
My breath, my life away
To something special
That gives me the chance
To live each and everyday.

Nobody Thought
November 20, 2018
I’ve been thinking wonderful thoughts
Creating life of something
Nobody thought
Lived or existed before this time
Mine alone, mine, mine.
Now lives not only in my mind
But in the world
Never again to be just a thought
I’m thinking in my head
That nobody else has ever thought.

The Sky Is Falling
November 19, 2018
The sky is falling, the sky is bright
Heaven helps us make it
To the morning light.
Let no one be left behind
No one treated awful or unkind
See redemption’s path
The tracks that lead our way.
Our souls need not pray
For we are found, we live
We live another day.

A Robin Wings Her Way South
November 16, 2018
A robin wings her way south
Buffeting winds
That may drive her off course
Today undaunted
She stays focused on her way
Though wind, rain and snow
She goes to the place
Where the sun glows heat
And where she stays
Til its time once again
To fly north
With all her family and friends.

Once Again
November 15, 2018
Why does it happen
What will stop me
From a big cry
How did I let it come to this
Once again.
When will I understand
The process doesn’t need
To harbour all this doubt
Mistrust and anger
Once again.
Now I’ll step back looking at
All that has been
Refresh my mind knowing
I can conquer this and everything
Once again.

Some Days
November 14, 2018
Some days are sad
In remembering the past
The heartache and anguish
Seems to last and last.
You know years have passed
You know all have moved on
Yet still some days are hard
The sadness seems to go
On and on.

Hearing All
November 13, 2018
Hearing all is not the same
As hearing nothing
No one to blame.
Take the course, take the way
In your head you hear
Everyday.
