Won’t go back
My thoughts were right
the
first time.
Don’t second guess those thoughts
let them flow
Telling you
all
all you need to know.
They know
They are connected
to
the universe
and
there all thoughts
they
freely flow.

Heaven help, heaven hold
the lost, the angry, the destitute
leave no one behind
let no one be lost
in the depths of heartache
at
all costs.
I have seen your light
I’ve reached, taking hold
embracing all it’s warmth
it’s love
for an eternity
untold.

Pathetic and sad
He goes forth
The essence of bad.
No one curtails
No one dare tell
The evil one
He is going to wither
In hell.
He doesn’t know
It doesn’t have to be so
He could be happy
And glad.
All that’s required
Is to be open, generous
Considerate and mostly
Not angry, bitter
Or sad.

Feel the heart
Feel it beat
Sending life
Throughout the body
From the head
To
Walking feet
Never
Saids a word
Rarely
Skips a beat
For a whole lifetime
The heart
It beats
Beats
Beats.

I’ve heard your song
in the early morning light
and
in the quiet
evening twilight.
No song
is so beautiful
no refrain
so caring, so light
I know
I’ll always be with you
when I hear
your lovely song
in the morning, noon
or
the evening’s night.

I have found
The world is round
what comes up
must
go down
No teetering
on the edge
no long drop off
just
round and round
What comes
goes
then
comes back around
I know
I know
The world is round.

If you are nearby, or going to be in the area, go, walk the trail and enjoy the series of poems and photographs exhibited!
(Mine is south of the water tower :D)
The necessity has come
Has gone
All that’s left is
Beyond my grasp, my hold
It’s gone
It’s gone.
Make no mistake
I needed all
But holding on
Wasn’t me
Wasn’t
What I could become
No, no
Not at all.

Telling when
telling what and who
I need to love, cherish
to
make it thru.
That’s what
the universe gives
has given me
to do.

Working forward
Working is a process
To pass thru life
Feeling accomplished
Feeling
I’m doing my best
Will there be rewards?
Will there be stress?
I’m sure lots of both
Lots to look back on
Knowing I did all I could
Knowing
I did my best.
