The heart knows
The eyes see
The hands hold
As
The mind finds beauty.

The Heart Knows
May 8, 2018
Did You See?
May 7, 2018
Did you see?
Did you see the beauty
Reigning all around me?
Did you see the magnificence
Holding me
Embracing me?
Did you see the soul
Who told me
I was loved unconditionally?
Did you see, did you see?

The Heart Is Mended
May 4, 2018
The heart is mended, the life is fine
No thought is taken
Of what happened back in time.
Moving forward, risking not
Becoming ice
In a land that’s hot.
Then in the midst of emptiness
She dares, she dreams
she dreams a lot.

Dreadful Thoughts
May 3, 2018
Dreadful thoughts
Lead the way
In the morning
Throughout the day
My purpose it seems
Is to take
Those awful thoughts away.
Put them in a place
They can’t speak
Can’t have their say
Those dreadful thoughts
Which are just a heartbeat
A moment
A thought away.

A Little Mess Was Made
May 2, 2018A little mess was made
And yet the consequences
Were not staged
They came in rolling waves
Bringing pain
Then peace
Breaking on the cheek
Grinding all the way
To aching, hurtful feet
Not sure what to do
Comfort, scold or
let be, let do
The consequences
When
A little mess is made.

Holding Heart In Hand
May 1, 2018
Holding heart in hand
Living, doing the best
That I can
No looking back
Nor focused
On what’s ahead
Staying in the moment
Knowing it’s where
I should be
Instead.

Hold The Precious Close
April 30, 2018
Hold the precious close
Make no mistake
The heart is needed
To cover all the hurts
That
The silly head
May make.

Be The Artist That You Are
April 27, 2018
Be the artist that you are
See your way each and everyday
Be that one, the one you see
And want to be.
Your best
The artist that you are
The one you need be.

You Didn’t See
April 26, 2018
You didn’t see the things
I saw
Nor did you feel the feelings
That I felt.
Still in my mind
I know
You know what I saw
What I felt.
And you alone will bring me
To the place
A place
I’ve always sought.

My Deepest Sympathies
April 24, 2018My Deepest Sympathies to the families, friends
All who know victims in yesterday’s horrific tragedy
My prayers go out to you
To the ones whose lives were brutally cut short
Those injured
For no reason.
No sane reason.
You are in my thoughts, my words, my prayers and my heart. ❤
