Looking out upon the vast history
Of life lived
And made better with dignity.
All is well
And will be the best there is
He saids.
As he reaches down
And kisses me
Upon my undeserving head.

Looking Out
August 5, 2022
No One
August 4, 2022
No one
No one goes down the road
I need to go
no one sees the things I see
no
no one does
no one feels
the pain
the shame I can’t conceal
I’m sure
no one does
But up above, surrounding me
is a presence that I know
I feel, I see
holds,
embraces me
Guiding me throughout
this perilous journey
like no one else ever does
no one
no one does.

Me
August 3, 2022
After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me
I found
Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

My Guiding Light
August 2, 2022
In the midst of the darkest night
you are my guiding light
With the bright beam of morning day
you show me my way
You give me life
You save my soul
I feel you
You are
my ever present guiding light.

In A Time Gone By
July 29, 2022My thoughts are with you Lorraine and Scott.
All my Love to you dear, sweet Kaos ❤ ❤
In a time gone by
We laughed, we cried
We joined hands to understand
The way life goes
No tears were lost
No embrace ignored
We lived it all
Life itself was our reward,

Solely Told Her
July 28, 2022
Solely
told her what
I think
no anger, sadness
did I convey
Nothing more
than encouragement
nothing more
could
would I say
Moving on
believing
I made a difference
in herself
this hour, this day
Nothing
more
nothing else
did I say.

Memories
July 27, 2022
Memories come
Then
They pass
I ask the question
Did they really happen
Or
Was I in a dream
That wasn’t part
Of my past?
Memories vague
Sometimes
Vibrant as if they happened
Yesterday
Not long ago
In a distant, distant past.
I’ll remember, smile
And be
Reliving memories
Remembering
A past that was
Really me.

Stranger Than Fiction
July 26, 2022
Stranger than fiction
Stronger than life
Accepting all visions
Making no fight.
Believing in heaven
The devil and hell
Make no correction
It’ll turn out so well.

I See The Beauty
July 22, 2022
I see the beauty
The magnificence
In all the land.
As I stand in awe of all
She reaches down
She touches me
She touches all.
She understands.

I See You In The Morning Light
July 21, 2022
I see you in the morning light
in the depth of deep darkness
somewhere
in the middle of a quiet night.
You give me pleasure
you give me strength
something to hold on to
when I feel lonely
weak
and out of strength.
No one else
could I conceive will keep me
safe
and be the one
who carries me far from here
far into eternity.
