When I find the lost that I knew
I’ll smile
And let my heart
Smile too.

When I Find The Lost
June 9, 2020
My Heart Is Heavy, My Soul Cold
June 8, 2020
My heart is heavy, my soul cold
Wherever I wander
I know
The sky will be there
The earth a treasure trove
Of experiences
I will live, I will know
Together
They will pull me out
Out of this deep hole
My heart will lighten
My soul no longer be
A deathly cold.

Remember When
June 5, 2020
Remember when
Life was soft
And
Then the world burst
Spewing anger.
That is when
I fell from my heart
Landing in a den of angry giants
Eating,
Crunching hapless wrens
Cried in anger, feared for death.
That is when
I saw the world
Issue out some justice
My tears were dried, my heart soothed
And
I remembered when.

Holding On And Very Still
June 4, 2020
Holding on and very still
breathe light
heart softly beating
and
I will be careful
to
leave the earth
a better place
because
of
me
I promise, I will.

Hope You’re Right

Hope you’re right
Hope not left in the heart of distress.
Maybe tomorrow
I can be laughing in the midst of endless.

Seldom Do You See
June 2, 2020
Seldom do you see
Different species fight
Like you, like me
Seldom
Seldom do you see.

Holding Close
June 1, 2020
Holding close
being in the beauty of it
all.
Losing nothing, saying less
cause we are part of the picture
overall.

My Heart Grows Old
May 29, 2020
My heart grows old
With stories that are told
Snuggled in a soul
That will never, ever
Grow old.

Remember When
May 28, 2020
Remember when a laugh and smile
Were the only thing that made
The day’s itinerary song?
Remember when laughter
And carefree days lasted
All year long
The thought of winter didn’t
Come to mind
Didn’t come along.
Then there was when
A door opened up
And seriousness came along.
No smiles, no laughter
The whole day long
Winter winds blew
And the heart was frozen
In sadness
Crying was the only song.

Feeling Mixed
May 27, 2020
Feeling mixed
And
Feeling strange
Grapple with the concept
Never knowing how
The game is played.
Truthfully told
But not explained
I listen in awe of those
Who have been
And
Those who came
