Things happen
I don’t know why
Placing me in places
Sometimes sad
Sometimes I even cry.
Then the heavens open up
Raining down
Blessings warm and bountiful
Covering everything
Everything all around.

In The Beginning
December 7, 2022
In the beginning
And
The end
Life moves forward
Not waiting for
Amen
No one laughs or curses
No one needs to
For
In the beginning
We’re learning
And
At the end
We’ve done all
We need to
We’re
At the end.

Strangely Enough
December 6, 2022
Strangely enough
All is okay
All is moving forward
Taking
A deep breath in, deep sigh
Life is good
We have lasted
And
Strangely enough
Survived.

Understand
December 5, 2022
Struggling to understand
Struggling
to be fine
But can’t
can’t understand
Understand
What has happened
What
Is no longer fine
Don’t know
Don’t
understand in any way
Anyway
Anyway I can.

Thoughts And Memories
December 2, 2022
Thoughts and memories
Come into my head
Some beautiful
Some filled with dread.
I think of them and then
Let those memories go
Back to the place where
All memories need to go.
There to stay til drawn again
To the front of my mind
To relive and live
Those memories one moe time
One moe time again.

Hold Your Hand
November 30, 2022
Hold your hand
Lead
Guide you on your way
The path may be difficult
But you have me beside you
All the way.
See no tragedy
Feel no anger
Taking you on the wrong path
Far, far away
Know I’m here with you
I’ll never leave your side.
And tomorrow
I know
You too, will be here
Next to me
Guiding me on my way
At my side.

Let The Healing Begin
November 29, 2022
Let the healing begin
To heal the sins
That have been done
Against the very core
Of nature’s living
Breathing
Body and soul
Let the healing
Let it begin.

Lick Your Wounds
November 28, 2022
Lick your wounds
Forget your ego
Dust that battered self off
While looking
To the future
See what’s best for you
Feel no regrets
Lose no sleep wondering why
What happened
Happened
Don’t go deep inside self-pity
Know this was a message
Sent
To keep you well
Moving forward
Not
Skipping a single
Beat.

No Holes Barred
November 22, 2022
No holes barred
No tales told
Until the end has come, gone
Did unfold.
When did it happen
Where did it occur?
No one knows
But
It did happen
It did occur.

Catch Me If You Can
November 17, 2022
Catch me if you can
I’m falling deep down
That
Hurtful canyon
Hold my hand
Grasp it tight
Don’t like let go
Till all that’s out of sight
Then
Together we will go
You holding me
Me, so grateful.
