A robin lays a thousand eggs
only some come to fruition
Optimistic, she builds again
this time, she’s sure
she’ll see a thousand grow
Fulfilling her ambition.

Heaven Help The World Understand
July 16, 2021
Heaven help the world
Understand
There is no tomorrow
If we don’t stand and
Let nature be around.
We alone cannot supply
Our food nor make rain
Come pouring down.
Understand
We are but a small dot
In a world
Simply
Spinning round.

Terrible Things Do Happen
July 15, 2021
Terrible things do happen
Terrible things do come to pass
How we handle
Treat them
Is
Lighting in a bottle
We have to acknowledge
Move pass.

A Life Full
July 14, 2021
No one lives a life full of anger, strife
nor
do they live in unprecedented peace
a nondescript life.
Somewhere between, somewhere
we live
our own beautiful
personal life.

What Have I Done
July 13, 2021
What have I done
and
where will I be
in
a year
decade
century
Will I know
know
the time to let go
to let be
Will these answers
come
in a rush of clarity
or
quietly while I sleep
peacefully.

The Heart Is A Treasure
July 9, 2021
The heart is a treasure
Hopefully, never to be seen
It guides, beats life in a body
Where she is queen.
The mind may be king
But the heart, she is queen
Without her
The mind can’t do anything.
Giving life, birthing life
Holding life in between
No one lives a life without a heart
Hopefully, never to be seen.

I Haven’t Been
July 8, 2021I haven’t been
the one to love
I haven’t been
I haven’t been
the one to cherish
I haven’t been
I haven’t been
no matter what you say
I know
I know the truth
I know
I haven’t been.

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tight
July 7, 2021
Hold me close, hold me tight
thru the long day
into the darkest
darkest night.
Let no one come to harm
me or mine
let the world turn quietly
without any
any crime.
This I pray, this I wish
that you hold me close
hold me tight
with all your gentle
gentle might.

Tic Tock Of The Clock
July 6, 2021
The tic tock of the clock
goes on and on
holding me captive
with its sound.
The night is dark
the stars hidden away
still the clock ticks
ticks all thru the night
into day.
The pendulum swings
sounding on each hour
each day
signalling time passing
life drifting away.
With each tic
tic tock
my heart beats
beats to the rhythm
of that ticking clock.

Heart Not Stolen

Your heart is not stolen
Until
You meet a small puppy.
