Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me feel secure
Throughout the darkest night.
Let my tears disappear
Feel safe in a land
Vacant of fury, anger
And awful, awful fear.
Hold me close, hold me tight

Total Effects
May 18, 2021
Total, total effects
Seeing them, feeling their cause
Aand
Certainly their effect
Blessed they say
Cursed say others
Somewhere
There is the answer
The total effect of what has been.

I Look Out
May 17, 2021
I look out on the earth
and see
things going on their way.
Birds sing, flowers bloom
bees fly
pollinating all they can
they try.
How can I not see beauty
beauty
there in front of me?
Thank the Lord
for you see, he has done this
all this magnificence
all this beauty.

Cold And Freezing Rain
May 14, 2021
Cold and freezing rain
Falls from the sky
Falls
Taking no blame.
Only pours it’s heart out
Letting drops fall
Again and again
In cold, freezing rain.

Feelings Are Hard To Decipher
May 13, 2021Feelings are hard to decipher
anger, hurt, happiness or joy
what are they trying to say?
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll know
I’ll have answers
not known, understood
today.

The Sun Shines Thru
May 12, 2021
The sun shines thru
it’s beams radiating
goodness, love
all things beautiful.
Warming the earth
filling the sky
with creatures lovely
able to fly.
The soil is warmed
growing things
feeding all
feeding everything.
We are lucky beings
we’ve been given
life
from the sun’s radiating streams.

A Big Milestone
May 11, 2021
A big milestone
looms in my way
not one to saunter to
not one to bypass or ignore
not today.
Strength and courage
are mustered to surpass
the obstacles seen today
to that tremendous milestone
on my path, on my way.

Run And Jump
May 10, 2021
Run and jump
leave the pain of not knowing
where you’ve been
and
where you came from.
The answers will be questions
for the ones
coming
after you, after me.
Settle in to knowing
you’ve been, you exist
and
you will in the future be
a cherished memory.
