I must
reach for the best
I must
know that tenderness
will bring joy and happiness
I must
make my world turn
with kindness, not hate
I must
I must seek
search, participate.

I Must
October 11, 2024
Away
October 7, 2024
I cannot
understand
where the sadness
came from
and
where it hides away.
To
creep out, to consume
when happiness
fades
goes away.

On Our Own
October 3, 2024
No more can I be
that one
you need me
to be
I must move on
I must
take care of me
You are on your path
your direction plotted
going
forward on your own
I’ll see you
I’ll think of you
once more
As we travel
our separate roads
travelling, travelling
on
our own.

Hurt, Feeling Alone
October 1, 2024
Hurt, feeling alone
struggling to be me
to master
the method, the way
to
happiness
all that I need.
Not to hurt
not to struggle
but
be happy, carefree.
If only for today
that
I would like
that
I’d love to be.

Feeling The Sorrow
September 30, 2024
Feeling the sorrow
wash
pour over me
The anger, the magnitude
of
travesty
Knowing nowhere to go
nowhere safe
to be
Feeling feelings so deep
deep
inside of me.

I Have Heard Your Voice
September 27, 2024
I have heard your voice
Felt your gentle soul
Know your touch is
What I feel
When soft breezes blow.
I don’t need to see you
For I know you’re near
Holding me close forever
Forever, my sweet love
My sweet dear.

Hold Me
September 25, 2024
Hold me, hold me close
let me be intertwined
with your strength, your beauty
your majesty
No more
no more to need anyone
but you
Let me
feel
your generosity
Let me too
give
all I can to those
needing
Needing me
needing all
that can be given
can be.

You Tell Me Things
September 23, 2024
You come to me
You tell me things
I can’t comprehend
Nor
Understand.
It seems those things
Those that you
Tell me
Are beyond
My knowledge, my reasoning
Nothing
That I know of
Or
Understand.

No One Seems To Know
September 20, 2024
No one seems to know
nor do they understand
the way to heaven
is always open
That
it’s there
Always
at their command.
