The sun shines bright
The lake’s like glass in the evening light
I take a breath
Savouring all that abounds
I like, I love the world
That is all around.

The Sun Shines Bright

I Didn’t Make It
April 3, 2019
I didn’t make it
Cut from the lot
Standing alone
Not knowing what’s up
What’s not.
I know it’ll be over
I’ll pass on
But for now
I’m lonely, fractured
Having trouble to cope
To move on.

It
April 2, 2019
Not having
It
Not seeing
It
Not feeling
It
Not sure what
It is.
But I’m hoping for
Pleading for
Trying to accomplish
It.

Leaving, Going Away
April 1, 2019
I saw you leaving, going away
Your back was turned
You didn’t say
A word of gratitude
Goodbye or even ‘Hey’
You just left
I saw you leave, go away.
My heart was broken
My life in disarray
I had nothing left that day
I saw you you leave
You were gone
You went away.

Tenderness, Loving And Caring
March 29, 2019
Tenderness, loving and caring
Caressing my heart, my life
Tender touch holding me
In warmth
This very night.
Smiling, laughing
Bringing cheer and delight
May you feel love like this
May it hold you safe and secure
All thru your life

Wondering What I’m Going To Do
March 28, 2019
Wondering what I’m going to do
Travel back in time
Or make memories all anew
Finding it hard to let go
Of thoughts and judgements
I’ve had, they just stay
They won’t go.
Heart is full, heart is fine
But it must be considerate
Of those along the way I find
Never to berate
Nor say stinging things
Be good, gentle
Moderate everything.

Don’t Know Why
March 27, 2019
I don’t know why
The sky does cry
The wind wail
And the earth spin
Endlessly.
I don’t know why
I don’t know
Don’t know why.

What To Do
March 26, 2019
I read the lines, saw the words
But no thought came to mind
Had no idea what was said
No vision of what to do.
My soul was cold
My heart frozen over
My ears, my eyes
Knew not what to do.
My feet they left
Never knowing the answer
To the question asked
Never knowing what to do.

Home Is Heart
March 25, 2019
Home is heart, heart is home
Speak softly
Let no one feel alone
Be together
Whether near or far apart
Act according
To the followings of your heart.

Voice Speaking
March 22, 2019Voice speaking, crying out
Saying things needed
Feeling all alone
Desperate to know the answer
Seeking to be free
Of ties changing, dragging thee.
Voice may be loud
Sounding almost like a horn
Blowing breath, scattering every way
Or soft and mellow
Holding dreams inside
Being safe, secure today.
Voice crying of things lost and found
Then some stored away
Voice may be laughing, bringing joy
To the day
Holding, hugging souls captured
In the voice’s lilting, loving way.
