The world spins
Swirls around
How we stand up is
Extremely profound.
Not a sound is heard
It’s all underground
Just spinning thru space
How exciting
How profound.

The World Spins

Rain Came And Washed Away
October 4, 2021
Rain came
And washed away
All the hurt, anger
I felt
Yesterday.
Leaving behind
Bright, refreshed
Ready to play
Thoughts
I have
Starting just today.
May they stay with me
All today
Going beyond
Into tomorrow
And
Into everyday.
This is my wish
My dream, my hope
When I see the rain
Wash away
All the hurt, anger
I felt
Yesterday.

When I Look Out And See
October 1, 2021
When I look out and see magnificence and beauty
I wonder
Why heartbreak has to be.

Fingers Trudge
September 29, 2021
Fingers trudge
across the page
feeling
the paper’s texture
smooth
hardly any grain.
Will the pen
fill the lines
printed
on this page
or
will it be vacant
unused
crumpled
thrown away?
Fingers hesitate
and then
pick up trusty pen
and say
words that fill this page
with all they want
need
to say.

Words Of Praise
September 28, 2021
I do write
I don’t sing
Praises
Of the sun, the moon
Nor spring.
The words are written down
One letter at a time
Maybe
In the future someone will
Sing
These words of praise
I bring.
Til then
They’ll stay
In my book, on my page
Written to be read
These words of praise.

My Heart Aches
September 27, 2021
My heart aches
Surrounded by people
who think me stupid
My heart aches
For these people have judged
convicted me of dumb behaviour
My heart aches
At the moment I see no alternative
it must be true
I have no saving grace, no saviour
My heart aches

Fly Away, Fly Away
September 24, 2021
Fly away, fly away
The day is unfolding
The temperature’s cold
Not smouldering
Fly away, fly away
Come back
Amid spring flowers
For now is the time
Time to fly
Fly away, fly away.

Hold Me Close
September 23, 2021
Hold me close
Don’t let me fall
Between the cracks
No not at all
Let me see beauty
Spreading far and wide
No divide
This is my wish
My sole cry
Hold me close
Let not
Our differences
Collide.

Anticipation
September 22, 2021
Anticipation, excitement brews
Tomorrow is open
I just have to put my way on cruise.
Glide thru the troubles
Step over the sad
Tomorrow is my pleasure
A sum of all I’ve had.

Disappears
September 21, 2021
Taking hold, making clear
the world has become
a place where
no one hears
the cries of those lost
those
that have disappeared
Bring them back, hold them dear
for it is up to us
to make our earth whole
where everyone has a path
can be heard and never again
disappears.
