Yes, I am
I am whatever you thought
I am here
I am happy
I am doing my best
I am in love with the greatness of life
I am
Yes, I am.

Yes, I Am
March 14, 2014
Snow Blows A Crisp Cold White
March 12, 2014Snow blows a crisp cold white
Deafening on this spring morning night
Flying by with a unrepentive no melting cry
Once again covering all going deep down inside.
Some will die in this cold white mess
As snow hungers to hold a grip
Til no life stirs beneath its icy depth
Breeding death, anger and remorse
Snow blows, snow blows
Making life full of needless stress.

Optimistic With The Present
March 11, 2014
Optimistic with the present
Couldn’t have foretold the past
But getting by it all together
At last, at last.
The calendar tells the date
The clock tells the time
My heart knows it ain’t
The day nor time that’ll get me
To that perfect present spot
In my time.

Chances Are Chances
March 10, 2014
Chances are chances
Be the reason
We flee chances seen
Chances are chances.
Chances are chances
Don’t just exist
But take your chances
Believe
Make them chances
To living
Not only to exist
Chances are chances.

Seek The Answer
March 7, 2014
Seek the answer
Letting it envelop you
In a place
Warm and sweet
Close your eyes
See
Exactly what you need
Spread out your fingers
Feel
And touch the answer
The answer that you seek

Eventually
March 6, 2014
Eventually
All will come to an end
Eventually
All the steel girders will bend
Eventually
Every season will thrive and die
Eventually
The answers you sought will make you cry
Eventually
The happiness foretold you won’t deny
Eventually
All will be all you have
Eventually.

Oh Teddy Bear Green
March 5, 2014
Oh Teddy Bear Green what have you seen?
The ups and downs, the lows, the highs.
Oh Teddy Bear Green what has become
Of the love we knew when we were young?
Oh Teddy Bear Green I held you close
You held my heart.
Oh Teddy Bear Green my secrets told
To your listening ways
Not a peep was said no trust betrayed.
Oh Teddy Bear Green
When I fell you cushioned me
When I feared you stood between.
Oh Teddy Bear Green you comforted me
When no one else seemed to care
You helped me, you’ve always been there.
Oh Teddy Bear Green have I become
The one you saw and guided me to be?
Oh Teddy Bear Green what secrets are kept
Beneath that loving Teddy Bear?
Oh Teddy Bear Green

Sadness Has Fallen
March 4, 2014
Sadness has fallen
Upon my heart
Pouring over molten hot
No saviour can save me
Not from this sadness
That breaks my heart.

Long Shadows Crease The Grass
March 3, 2014
Long shadows crease the grass
Modifying bark on a watching tree
As sunlight fights
With the night all day long
Winning only in the morning bright.
Sleep at night
Feel the shadows
Creeping across the grass
Rising up
Holding darkness in it’s grasp.
Your heart is safe
Shadows will see to that.

I Saw God Today
February 28, 2014
I saw God today
He came in such a mysterious way
No bolts of lighting, no angels swayed
Just God
I saw God today.
