I see the beauty
The magnificence
In all the land.
As I stand in awe of all
She reaches down
She touches me
She touches all.
She understands.

I See The Beauty
July 18, 2025
My Heart Shines
July 16, 2025
My heart
Shines
A smile comes
Spreads
Across my face
The sun beams
Bright
and
Victorious
The clouds
have
Cleared
All
is
Right
I will
Persevere
I will
Succeed
I will be
Victorious
Today
Tonight!

I See The Anger
July 15, 2025
I see the anger
the fury
Why do I let
this
envelope me?
Struggle to be free
to be
happy
Yet all I see
is
sadness, madness
Scaring me.

Courtesy Of Courtesy
July 14, 2025
Courtesy of courtesy
is
the one
that transforms me
Sadness
won’t do it
Anger
not
if you please
Courtesy of courtesy
makes my life
a
breeze.

They Thought I Was Crazy
July 11, 2025
They thought
I was crazy
they thought I was nuts
I heard laughter, jeering
silence
smirks that did suck.
From there I went forward
farther than most
believing in my worth
holding tight to that dream
I brought to fruition
this life
I hold close.

Close The Door
July 10, 2025
Close the door
let it be
no need to be
sad
nor
hungry.
For the knowledge
left behind
you already know
it was good
in it’s
own time.
Let it be
let it go
tomorrow’s another day
it will give you
all you need
to
know.

Your Kindness Seeps Through
July 9, 2025
Your kindness seeps
through
all the cracks
making life
maybe
just a little less exact
We see
not only your kindness
but
your generosity
too
What a person you’ve become
to know you
is to feel the other side
of
hurt and anger
Love, sweetness
they are the only ones
that
help a simple soul
like me
see
happiness
and
overcome.

Hold My Heart
July 8, 2025
Hold my heart
hold me still
let me see beyond
the gate
far, far across the hill
take my hand
let’s walk we two
to a place
where forgiveness
reigns
and
gentleness
is a way of life
There we’ll stay
living
in
perfect harmony
Oh, yes
that
would be nice!

May I Take Off
July 7, 2025
May I take off
strip away
all
the hurt
anger
sadness
I felt
yesterday
May I live
in
solace
of
the comforts
I’ll experience
just
today
No more
regrets
unhappiness
no more
beauty
drifting away
For now
today
I’ll have
love
enveloping me
in
each
and
every way.

Working Hard
July 4, 2025
Working hard
But seem stuck in debris
Struggling, attempting
Fighting
To get free.
Is help on the way
Or
Am I by myself
Can I pull it off
Sit back, relax
Harbouring no doubt?
This I hope, I do pray
But as of now
I’m stuck
In
Disaster’s stinking muck.
