Whimsical and saddened
I feel and touch
The gladdened
The ones left to guide
To show the heart
The way
The trodden path
The journey
On which I need to go
Today.

Whimsical And Saddened
September 7, 2017
Please Let Me
September 6, 2017
Please let me
Be friendly
Not bitter nor condescending
Let me see beauty, dignity
In the world that surrounds me.
Please let me
Give help
To those that need
Strength to ones
Who are weakened.
Please let me
Show vision
To those whose minds
Are imprisoned.
Please let me.

Smug, Complacent
September 5, 2017
Smug, complacent
Morally wrong
Stepping over
Standing on
Those that helped you
Get where
You don’t belong.

See Me
September 1, 2017
See me
I am here.
See me
I must not fear
You see.
See me
In all I be
See me.

I’m Amazed And Mystified
August 31, 2017
I’m amazed and mystified
The way the world turns
And magnifies
All goodness inherent
On the earth
And up in
The clear, blue skies.
I am amazed, I’m mystified.

Looking
August 30, 2017
Looking up to the sky
Looking for the answer
The reason why
The solid earth beneath my feet
Radiates love
Leaving no room
For defeat.
My mouth says words
Needed to be said
My hands hold
Thankfulness for all I see
And for the ground
On which I tread
Here, alongside thee.

Questioning, Doubting
August 29, 2017
Questioning, doubting
My ability
To know the answers
Right.
So that I can sleep
At night
Live thru the day
All bright.
With daily confirmation
The direction
I’m headed in
Is right.

Hoping To See Joy
August 28, 2017
Hoping to see joy in all humanity
As we transverse thru our lives
Holding each close
No tears cried
No hope denied
Just care and love in all our lives.

Seeking Solitude
August 24, 2017
Seeking solitude, quiet and a resting mind
No bitterness, no crime
No tears smearing a saddened face
Only a smile, a happy thought
A loving gesture
All things caring in this
A quiet time.
That’s what I want, I need
In this
My quiet mind.

Decisions
August 23, 2017Making decisions
Some I don’t like
Making them in darkness
And board daylight.
Answering all questions
That’ll make things right
Make people believe in me
Today, tonight.
I don’t have all answers
Still decisions
Decisions will be made
By tonight.
