Don’t make me the one
Don’t make me
Fall from grace
Have no fun
Don’t make me the only one
For the flowers speak
The waters wave and the trees bow
Knowing they too
Don’t want to be this one.

Don’t Make Me The One
November 7, 2019
One Day
November 6, 2019
One day will all go away
not sure why, not sure how
but gone, gone away
in the future, like the past
someday
this day will become
that day.

Caught In The Midst
November 5, 2019
Caught in the midst
of
all I see
drifting
with the spirit that
guides me.
When my destination
comes into view
will I stand or run
or
will I
wait for you?

I Am The One
November 1, 2019
I am the one
Who saves my life
The one who guides me
Thru the strife.
I am the one
No need to guess
Still I know, I need not think
I’m alone
And hopelessly guideless.
I am the one
But at my side, in front of me
Has my back, my destiny
A soul so strong, so kind to me
Shows me right and that that’s wrong.
I am the one
Who chooses my each and every way
Thou I know that kind soul
Guides me all through the day.

Ghosts And Goblins
October 31, 2019
Ghosts and goblins
Race and run
Trick or treating
Oh, such fun.
Tomorrow they’ll be
Just too full
From eating many
Many tasty treats.

I Know Why I’m Here
October 30, 2019
I know why I’m here
Know the world spins and turns
I know sadness and grief
And
I know great joy and ecstasy.
Yes
I know what it means
To be in this world
And part of everything.

Help Me Hear
October 29, 2019
Help me hear the voices say
Wondrous words
Spoke in love and kindness
Now and everyday.

Leaves Falling
October 28, 2019
Leaves falling
Cascading down
Onto dying, cold
Hard ground.
Life begins
Lives
Then passes away.
That is how life lives
From the beginning
Now
And in all
The coming days.

I Fear My Heart Will Sink
October 24, 2019
I fear my heart will sink
Deep beneath all those things
That
Run my world
Bringing morning sun
And everything.
Then
Will I still be able
To laugh, cry and see
Moon beams streaming
Love
Filled with ecstasy?

When The Sorcerer Comes To Town
October 25, 2019When the sorcerer comes to town
The earth will stop and rotate back around
No friendly comment can expose
A sneaky agenda found beneath the folds
Then and only then will laughter stop a train
Heartache be nothing and nothing to blame
When the sorcerer comes to town
Will you be here or over there?
Will I stand tall or fade to fair?
Will trees bend dropping leaves
Upon the ground
Or reach up scratching heaven’s sky?
Don’t know but I will tell you why
When the sorcerer comes to town.
