When the sun shines
It shines on you
Radiating light and heavenly love too.
When the sun shines
I know, I know
I’m in love with you.

When The Sun Shines
August 4, 2016
No Quiet Closure
August 3, 2016
No quiet closure
All’s a mess
Working thru a lot of stress
No letting up
No happy, casual concept
Closing doors
Walking far and fast away
Seeing better
I hope, another day.

Wondering Why
August 2, 2016
Wondering why clouds can float
In the sky
I wonder, wonder why.
Wondering why heaven doesn’t fall
From the blue, blue sky
I wonder, wonder why.
Wondering why hearts open up
And break in two
I wonder, wonder why.
Wondering why when I see you
Clouds float heaven all around
And my heart opens up with love
Enveloping everything beneath the sky
I wonder, wonder why.

Focus
July 29, 2016
Focus
Focus on my mind.
What has it to offer?
What has it to demand?
Let it work along side
My heart
To fulfill all I can.
Focus
Focus and be
The person
Whose made a difference
Whose took a stand.

Hearing Voices In The Distance
July 28, 2016
Hearing voices in the distance
Living lives in this instant
Can’t fathom where we’ll go
Only know we’re living
Lives in this present instant.
Moving as if ships in the night
Passing by no fear, no fright
Doing all needed to survive
In this instant
In this instant we’re alive.

Silent Message
July 27, 2016
Silent message
Quiet and discreet
Voicing everything
I just couldn’t speak.

Clouds Thunder
July 25, 2016
Clouds thunder
Rain parts cloudy sky
No sunlight hits a silent ground.
Lighting strikes fear in a heart
Brought to a sudden
Wakening start.
Rain drops on a tin roof
A pinging ring in the midst of a world
Filled with all this thundering sound.
Life and breathe are brought
Given to a earth parched
Thirsting for that thundering, lighting
Rain sound.

Anger Frustration, Darkness And Fear
July 22, 2016
Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

I Don’t Know
July 21, 2016
I don’t know
What the heart doesn’t care
Buried in messed up
I sip from a cracked, broken cup
Tears run
My heart weeps
For the love, the mystery
That wasn’t mine
To keep.

Me, Myself and I
July 20, 2016
Me, Myself and I
Together we go thru life
Me, Myself and I
Conquering strife, living life
Me, Myself and I
No one knows or been told that
Me, Myself and I
Can survive anything if we stand together
Me, Myself and I
Don’t know why life is this way but
We’ll live and love in a way,
Each and everyday
So there’ll be no remorse for
Me, Myself and I.
