Actually
Can’t hear
The wind call.
Actually
Can’t tell if
I’ve woke or fell.
Actually
Hiding inside of myself
Waiting for something
Something.

Another Mouse
March 24, 2017
Another mouse
Inside the house
Caught by just his tail
Tried to run
That son of a gun
But the clatter left a trail.
Caught like a rat
In a trap
How could I let him go?
That I did
Outside in the cold blue snow
I did, I really did let him go.
If he lives is up to him
For it’s not
For me to know
I just let a mouse
That was in the house
I just let him go.
So if you see a mouse
With tape upon his tail
He is the one I did let go!

Wouldn’t It Be Nice
March 22, 2017
Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world laughed
No one cried and in the sea
No fish, no lives
No one
No one died.
Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world turned
Looking at itself
Making no excuses, no lies
Just told the truth
With open-hearted sighs.
Wouldn’t it be nice
If the world alone
Gave all the happiness
Needed to survive
Holding everyone in a grasp
So tender, so alive.
Wouldn’t it be nice, Wouldn’t it be nice

Haven’t Heard
March 21, 2017
Haven’t heard
The end
Haven’t heard
The start
Waiting in between
Waiting
To hear my heart.

Spring Is Here

Spring is here
Is a part
Nestled
In a beginning
Full
Waiting to start.

May My Soul Find The Secrets
March 17, 2017
May my soul find the secrets
Hidden deep in my heart
May the pleasure never
Ever, ever depart.
May I find justice
For the things unfairly done
And may the sun shine
On all those I love
Each and everyone.
May I find the strength
To stand up straight
And not waiver
In the thoughts
That can make me see
Greatness
Greatness in all of thee.
Yes
May my soul believe
And see
All that is wondrous
In this secret place
Called me.

If I Feel My Heart Weep

If I feel my heart weep
My soul cry
Let me be in a place
Where good ones lie.

This Lady
March 14, 2017
In another place, another time
This lady
Was my nursery rhyme.
She held me close, she kept me far
She taught me to believe
In my star.

Sunset
March 10, 2017
Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.
All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too

Heavenly Father Hear My Call
March 7, 2017
Heavenly Father
Hear my call
No weeping
Wailing not at all
Sinner I am
Of course you know
I’ll bow down
Ease the flow.
Heavenly Father
Hear my call
I love, I love you
I love you all.
