Suddenly my heart
Goes out coming in
To home and love.
Suddenly my mind
Understands life
Suddenly, suddenly.

Suddenly, Suddenly

Moving Forward, Moving Ahead
April 20, 2015
Moving forward, moving ahead
Pass the corner, holding back anticipation
As you round the bend, passing the ever present dread
Nothing stands still, nothing remains the same
Touch the hearthstone, let nothing be in vain.
You are cheerful, happy to be here
Stepping lightly, never expressing fear
You’ll arrive in the future with this or another name
Moving forward, moving forward
Forward is the constant in this game.

All Is Seen
April 17, 2015
All is seen, all is glad
Be ye thankful
For all you’ve had
Can’t take it away
Nor make it bad.
Just believe in yourself
And just be glad
You’ve been given
A gift that many
Have never had.

Feeling Life From Before
April 16, 2015
Feeling life from before
Standing here beside me
Saying things
Reliving times gone before.
Joyous reunion
Sad thoughts passing
Hugging life and lives
That lived before.
I know I am one
Who does not stand alone
Beside, in front and behind
Are those whose lives
Have lived before.

Liar, Liar
April 15, 2015
Liar, liar
Don’t know how
Don’t know where
Won’t listen, nor see
Liar, liar
Standing in front of me.

Wonder
April 14, 2015
Wonder is what I’ve got
As I reach, reach out and see
The beauty, the majesty of all living things
Knowing they are all part of me.

Sometimes A Memory
April 13, 2015
Sometimes a memory
Sadden, falls down my face
Coming straight from heaven
It holds a special time and place
In my heart forever
Starting there, glistening
Upon my face.

The Joy Of Reliving Yesterday
April 10, 2015
The joy of reliving yesterday
Remembering the journey
That was begun.
No regrets to take with us
Only those already spun.
Mystical powers allowing us
To be changing always
Changing none.
We relive the past
And find the peace
That only yesterday
Could give us some.

Been Sick
April 9, 2015Been sick, hear me retch
Vacant vacuum been sick.
Time passes, sickness flows
Nausea sickens, this night is very old.

When I Felt Your Heart
April 2, 2015
When I felt your heart next to mine
When I saw my life and yours intertwined
My soul was full and so sublime
When I was yours and you were mine.
