Holding close, holding tight
making it thru
thru the dark, scary night
Tomorrow will be better
tomorrow I’ll see the light
leading to pleasure, happiness
and
all things of delight.

Feel The Clouds
July 4, 2022
Feel the clouds
come rolling in
Hear the thunder clap
Experience rain
pouring down
Cleansing all
So once again
the world looks fresh
Growing
Reaching for the stars
because of rain
Life-giving rain.

I Have Seen
June 30, 2022
I have seen
I haven’t been
the one you want
this I know
I haven’t been.
Days go by
nights seem
to melt into nothingness
where nothing lives
nothings been.
Still you’re on my mind
and I have seen
there’s a chance
you’ve heard my voice
you’ve seen.
I’m here
I live, I love
I am
a human being.

Hoping, Not Exceeding
June 28, 2022
Hoping,
not exceeding the life
I’ve been given
the life I love, share
and adore.
Not exceeding, only hoping
to be the best
I can in this world
this world I share.

Hear The Bells
June 27, 2022
Hear the bells
ring
their melancholy sound
Ringing, ringing
Throughout the valley
and
mountains all around
Sending messages, greetings
and words of sadness
so profound
Hear the bells
ringing
Ringing, ringing
Listen
listen to their sound.

I Have Been Feeling
June 24, 2022
I have been feeling
Not so great
Everything matters
But not at stake.
The life I live
Must be honoured
No too hard
Nor can’t be done.
Understand I can
And
Will overcome.

I Told
June 23, 2022
I told you not
I told
I told all
that would listen
Told them how it was
how it would be
Now
I’m telling you all
These precious things
that have been
And
Will be.

Live Til You Die
June 20, 2022
Don’t live your life
in a way
you know how you’ll die.
Live a life worth living
til that time, that time
you really do die.
Let joy, happiness prevail
all trials, heartache pale with moments
when
your heart bursts in joyous cries
your eyes run tears of gratitude
your ears hear angels trumpet
stories.
Stories of your magnificent life.
the life, that life
you’re going to live.
Till you die.

Before The Light Begins To Fade
June 17, 2022
Before the light begins to fade
See the beauty in all you survey
Let no small thing be overlooked
As you feel your heart pounding
In a life lived with gratitude
Giving all
No matter what comes to be
This, I think
We need to see.

Tender Ones
June 16, 2022
Tender ones
live and become
the strength that makes us
survive.
Living life
so we too become
become
the tender ones.
