There are no rights
No wrongs
Only
Consequences
To live with, to abide by
Understand
Choices are made, lives changed
Right or wrong
Makes no difference
For you live with
The
Consequences

A Guiding Light
November 15, 2022
Respect, gratitude
All needed
Felt
With a sincere attitude.
Let love hold you safe
Feel secure
In arms
That envelope you.
Know
In the morning
Late at night
You’re not alone.
You have
A saviour, a protector
A guiding light
Holding you.

I Heard The Wild Goose Call
November 11, 2022
I heard the wild goose call
I heard her plaintive tone.
I bowed my head in honour
Of all those left
Left alone.
On the field of war and anger
In the battle
No one wins alone.
I heard the wild goose call
Come
Come bring your brave soldiers home.

Once Again
November 10, 2022
Once again I write
What I see
What I’m to hear as the words
Begin to be.
Sometimes so great
Sometimes just grim
But all those words need
Need to be written.
Spoken in text
To those that need them
Those to who
They were meant to be given.

My Heart Does Cringe
November 9, 2022
My heart does cringe
My soul weeps.
Happenings in the world
Are full of sadness, anger
Misery so deep.
How
Did we get here?
When
Can we leave?
Questions – Answers
No one knows
No one speaks.

You’re Not The One
November 8, 2022
I know you’re not the one
I’m supposed to be.
I’m the one I need to be
in my heart, my head.
All things I do
that’s who I’m suppose to be.
You’re but someone
who accompanies me.

The Breath Breathe
November 7, 2022
Hearing the breath breathe
Is heartening to us
Cause tomorrow may bring
Happiness or sadness
Or something
We haven’t seen.
But today we’ll hear
The breath breathe
And know
That just for today
We’re living, breathing
We’re okay.

Some Days
November 4, 2022
Some days are sad
In remembering the past
The heartache and anguish
Seems to last and last.
You know years have passed
You know all have moved on
Yet still some days are hard
The sadness seems to go
On and on.

Treasures
November 3, 2022
Treasures happen
treasures can be within sight
or
sought, seeking far, far
into the reaches
of
the still, quiet night
No man speaks
but
all know his thoughts
that treasures keep him loved
from morning, to noon
then far, far into
the still, quiet night.

Wrath Of What Has Been
November 2, 2022
I’ve experienced the very wrath
Of what has come, has been
No remorse felt or regrets that last
No happiness seen.
Let me be away from this
Be and feel pure joy, pure bliss
And that happiness
That’s been evading me.
This I ask, beg and plead
Knowing it’s up to me to be
In that embrace, that love
I want to feel and see.
