Hollering in the air
Unaware
No one cares
Lost to the soul
Is a heart full
Of misery and despair
No one knows
Unaware
No one cares, no one cares.
No!
He hears
He knows
Someone cares
He cares.

No One Cares
October 19, 2015
Morning Rises Clear And Bright
October 16, 2015
Morning rises clear and bright
Dismissing all that plagued the night.
Optimism reigns supreme
Knowing what must be done
Here in the morning sun.
Clouds may hinder passing light
But don’t forget the morning bright.
This is new, fresh and clear
Make it right my morning dear.

The Words
October 15, 2015
The words sit silent
Waiting to take a place
On a page, part of a sentence
A paragraph
Or just fill an empty space.
Never know what they are to be
Where they’re coming from
Placed upon the page
Uttered
From a pulpit
Graced by the shinning sun.
No matter, there they come
No longer waiting
The words have found their purpose
Their place, on a page, a paragraph
A voice
Greeting the morning sun.

Succumb To Nothingness
October 14, 2015
Succumb to nothingness
Drop into the abyss
Slender is the chance
I will survive all this.
Tolerance doesn’t know
Where to step in
Or even if
It still exists.
My sadness knows all this
Crying out the name
The name of one
Who can change, change this.

Sometimes
October 13, 2015
Sometimes the world will cry
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes the rain will wash away
The hurt, the anger and the pain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes I need to say
I’ll cry but only for today
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Agonizing, Difficult Regret
October 8, 2015Agonizing, difficult regret
Struggling to understand
Just what I did to regret
For no soft heart opens up
Or holds me close
Only solitude, loneliness
Are at my command.
Life of near and far away
Feels trodden upon
No joy to lift me up
No smile that helps me stand
Only agonizing, difficult regret
Struggling to understand.

Gone Into The Wonder
October 7, 2015
Gone into the wonder of the moment
Delving into the presence I feel
No heart beats just a moment
No heart can repeal
The sound lost from the moment
It’s just a wonderful wonder of a moment
Allowing me to feel.

When I Die
October 5, 2015
When I die and go to bed
Let me lie and not instead
Listen to the world around
Singing happy, coursing songs.
Let me not beneath the soul
Hear a call of some callous foe
Let me think of not just dread
When I die and go to bed

Nothing Really Happens
October 1, 2015Nothing really happens until I decide to live the life given
No one else is responsible for anything of mine
My part must be played
Paramount above everything.
Look to yourself
Look within, inside
Answers are there
Waiting to be tried.
