Can’t figure out
Don’t understand
My place in the universe
Who’s here to tell me
Who will direct my path
Just where do I stand?
Answers don’t come easily
No matter how many times
I ask
Don’t understand.

Don’t Understand

I Know The Difference
June 3, 2019
I know the difference
Between frozen and tropical land
I know light is not dark
And dark is not light.
I know the difference
Between morning and evening light
The difference is obvious
They are not alike.
But the in-between is hazy
Not easy to read
A conundrum for sure
Not darkness nor light
It seems.

Never Saw It Coming
May 31, 2019
Never saw it coming
Didn’t know it would
Now have to accommodate
With everything I should.
Never chose the situation
Didn’t know I could
But will immerse myself
Make it all that I should.

Known, Unknown
May 30, 2019
Known is not known
Known anywhere
Bright, airy time goes by
Changing, blending caring
Not caring whether we know
What’s to come
Or why things were done
It’s unknown that known
To come.

I Don’t Hear Your Story Now
May 28, 2019
I don’t hear your story now
All is oblivious somehow
Rain has poured the storyline away
Gone for tomorrow
Not to exist yesterday.
A thought comes to mind
If I think of it now
And it exists in the present
Must have been lived yesterday
And will go forward to tomorrow
Being lived all the way.

My Bleeding Heart
May 27, 2019
The trouble with my heart
It bleeds, bleeds love
It has from the start.
You can’t tell me
Your heart has never felt
My bleeding heart.

I Journey To My Home
May 24, 2019
I journey to my home
The place where I was born.
Memories past, life I did before
Some heartache, some laughing then and now.
I journey to the place
I was born, I journey home.

Told
May 23, 2019
I’ve been unusually bold
Saying things
maybe should
Not be told.
My heart does laugh
The secrets out
Its been told.
But then again
My mind does know
Repercussions come
From places
Yet untold.

I Haven’t Got The Answer
May 22, 2019
I haven’t got the answer
Don’t know what is the fight
But standing, hands on hips
Feet planted on the ground
Ready to fight and stand
Stand my ground.
Fight for
What I know is good
And what I know is right
Guess that’s my answer
Guess that’s my fight.

I Hear The Grass Growing
May 21, 2019
I hear the grass growing
See the leaves unfurl
No clock ticking
Telling them their journey
Their time is now due
Yet each and every year
They know just what to do.
The reason I’ve discovered
A mind
A mastermind is holding court
Creating, making things
The way they should be
And telling them
Just what they should do.
