The sky is filled with optimism
No bird tweets lies
Nor does a bear weep
Wail or cry.
All is filled with beauty
And love
Not one seeks
To be denied.
We live, we love
And one day
We will surely die.

The Sky Is Filled
August 29, 2018
The Sun Shines Bright
August 28, 2018
The sun shines bright
Mists have blended
Into the water beyond
No one sees bees
No bats fly
In the expanse that surrounds
Nor does anyone hear
The cry
They’re gone, they’re gone
I rest, I sleep
Maybe there I’ll see
And
Seek a world that once here
Belonged.

I Sit Here In My Splendour
August 27, 2018
I sit here in my splendour
Wondering where do I begin
It isn’t any other
It’s me
And I have to contend
With the matter, the matter
I laughed about
Now it’s everything
Everything I hold within.

Why Not Forgive
August 24, 2018
Why not forgive, let it go
For you know
The pain is only yours
They don’t care or know.
Don’t let them live
In your heart and soul.

In A World Cold
August 23, 2018
The sun shines bright
In a world cold
To hearts of trolls
Who mask dire tragedy
In the midst
Of something seen
As beautiful and bold.
No one can know
The reason why
Nor do they care
For hearts are living
To not experience
Sadness and despair.

I Learn Many Things
August 22, 2018
I learn many things
I see many times
The world as it turns
Intertwines.
My heart knows a reason
To decline
The advances of the destructive
Filled with misery kind.
It comes from within
This loving gift coming from
The divine.

What I Say
August 20, 2018
The trouble with what I say
It may be true or cause disarray
Careful with my words
Is what I must remember
Each and everyday.
Blessing to know before I say.

My Heart Wonders
August 10, 2018
My heart wonders where you’ve been
Loved you, lost you, can’t begin.
Anger, sadness creeping in
Gentle kindness hidden somewhere then.
Feel the touch of hearts afire
Smouldering eyes, full of desire.
No one knows where it goes
Bumpy, hilly, soft or kind, rocky crevice ours to find.
Now must go where hearts do flow
No troubles, no big or little cares I’ll know.
For you see, you’ll be in my dreams tonight
Full of love, wonder, so much delight.
There with trembling lips we’ll gently kiss
Sharing loving, sweet night bliss.

Looking Out
August 9, 2018
Looking out upon the vast history
Of life lived
And made better with dignity.
All is well
And will be the best there is
He saids.
As he reaches down
And kisses me
Upon my undeserving head.

There They Fall
August 8, 2018
Hear the raindrops fall
Cascading down on dry ground
There they fall.
Bringing life sweet water falls
Trickling over dusty rocks
Feeding parched grass
There they fall.
No wicked blizzard
Harsh winds none at all
Just quiet falling sweet raindrops
There they fall.
