Clouds part, sun rises
Filling all hearts
With peace
Warmth and gratitude.
Joy comes to mind
As day winds down
Folding into night
Star studded.
Holding tight
Precious souls
In their solitary walk
Through life.

I seek but will I find
The lost, hidden
The divine.
No path is shown
No way is clear
Trudging onward
Holding on to thoughts
Of what may be
Near.
Maybe passed by
Shrugged off
Not
Realizing
Sometimes
Good things
Stand
Being there for me
To embrace
Hiding
In
Plain sight.

Feeling, remembering
seeing
touching things from the past
bringing them
to the present.
Projecting them
to
the future
to be part of my world
forever
forever to be.

A sadness deep inside
festering, crying
pleading
to be let out
let outside.
To be free
to wander, find solace
be happy
come alive
This is all
that
sadness asks
all’s needed
for that sadness deep
deep inside.

I’m not sure what I’ll write
Something about yesterday
Maybe something
That will occur tonight.
No rules in place
No sayings to follow
Just hear that soft voice speak
And my writing, my words
They follow.

For heaven’s sake
you are blessed
driven
to be your best.
For heaven’s sake
don’t listen
don’t wait to be
forgiven.
For heaven’s sake
know it’s not your fault
heaven knows
and
heaven has
forgiven.

Holding on and holding fast
Not letting go.
Til the earth is beneath my feet
The sand whispering in my ear
And wind blowing too and fro.
Then
And only then
Will I let go.

Searching
finding my way
not from
all that’s bad
just from the bland
the
everyday.
Focus on learning
see the way
to
something better
something
I just learned
today.

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.
No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.

Hidden treasures
Laden with controversy
Hidden treasures
Buried deep
How
Did they get there?
How
Did they come to be?
Hidden treasures
Hidden
Will they ever
Ever again be seen?
