Dear sweet Ursa is about to pass
Her love, her life has been such a large part
Of my life, my heart.
Don’t want her to go, she can’t stay
Her body’s broken
No more run, no more play.
My heart too is broken, shattered apart
Breaking to lose
This loving, loyal little rott.
I must let her go, let her pass
Her heart, her soul shall rest at last
With those already gone, already pasted.
I love you so, so hard to let go
I must, I must but this I know
You’ll live now forever
Deep inside my heart, beside my soul.

Quandary going on
What is right. What is wrong.
One step forward. Ten steps back
Don’t turn around, don’t look back.
Heart is whole, mind is clear
Take what you need and hold so dear.
No dilemma, will carry on
The way is right, you’ll hear your song.

A great sadness
Has taken over my life.
A great sadness
Not from stress, toil or strife.
A great sadness
Gives me no relief.
A great sadness
Is this that I speak.

I wonder what was it like
When I was born
Did I cry right away
Or was I compelled?
Did I know what had happened
Was I frightened to be out
Of the only world I’d known
Did I even know where I was?
The answers I don’t know
No one left to tell
Gone are the memories
I may have once held.
The business of new life
Took over and I cried
Sad to be leaving
The soft, warm womb
Where my mother kept me
Safe and alive.
I may not remember
No one left to tell
But I know I was born and
With love I was held.

Fortunately
I’m not in the company
Of those that would expose
My faults and misfortunes
Fortunately.
Fortunately
My heart’s not broken
Or my breath stripped of air
And my head still works
Fortunately.
Fortunately
I’m in the company of good
Life is filled and fortunate
Fortunately.

Rancour hiding deep inside
Struggling, struggling to let it out
Outside away from me
And my distance memory.
Laughter’s good coming up
Throwing out all it can
Including rancour hiding
There inside.
Rejoice because rancour deep inside
Replaced by laughter’s bringing
Joy and happiness
Dwelling too, there inside.

One more time
I’ll write what I feel
Deep down in the midst
Of something that I didn’t know
Did exist and sure don’t know
What it is.

Reading, writing
Putting it down on paper
Making it real
By telling maybe, a lie.
Live a life never known
But through another’s eyes
Feeling emotions
Sometimes reduced to cry.
Breathing life into words
Taking us on a magical journey
An exciting adventure
From reading, writing
Putting it down on paper.

Feel it well up from beneath
See the voice have no speech
Know the darkness gives no harm
Then in a blink, its all gone.
