Chosen
is
a quiet place
to be
Sitting
oh
so quietly
Tomorrow
I’ll move
Tomorrow
I’ll be
The moving force
that
allows
The quiet place
to be.

I Am A Survivor
October 3, 2025
I am a survivor
I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim
I am a survivor
I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened
I am a survivor
Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger
I am a survivor
Have moved forward
built a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger
I am
I am a survivor.

You
October 2, 2025
I feel
warm and cozy
snuggled up
between the two
of
you
Your heart
is
beating
I feel
that
too
Tomorrow we’ll go
for a walk
just us
We’ll walk together
you, me
and
you
I’ll say the words
I feel
I’ll say those words
that are
true
Then
you’ll smile
you’ll leave me
saying
I love you
You’ll be gone
and
I’ll be missing
missing
you.

Pure And True
October 1, 2025
You hold me close
I feel you do
your heart
beats
pure and true
Together
we can conquer
the universe
I know we can
I know
we will
For our hearts
beat
pure and true.

I Walk Down The Hallway
September 30, 2025
I walk down the hallway
so beak, so cold
I look at the paintings
lovely and old
I hear silent moaning
shrieking
I’m told
from souls who’ve gone
to places
dark and untold
I feel anger, anguish
grief
sadness and heartache
from
those that were
old
Who once
lived
in this building
now roam
the hallways, their rooms
this
I’m told
Rooms
filled
with new victims
soon
to become
lost souls
Do not enter
this place
do not love, laugh nor cry
for they will hear you
and
take this life
you cherish
You will surely die.

You Can’t Hear Me
September 29, 2025
You can’t hear me
I know
you can’t
Still I call
I call
and
all of that
Someday you may
someday
we’ll have met
Until
that time
feel free to listen
and
call me back.

Maybe Tomorrow
September 26, 2025
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today.
But
Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday.
Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day
With joy and happiness.
So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say
“That was fun
That was, a good day!”

Weep
September 23, 2025
You heard me cry
you saw me
weep
Still
all remained the same
No
holding love secure
No
wiping away
tears
That
my eyes do
weep.

Colour Not Your Heart
September 22, 2025
Colour not your heart
leave it
pure
leave it free
living life as directed
by
the souls of eternity.

Terrible Things
September 19, 2025
Terrible things have happened
Terrible things
Terrible things live
Exist.
We must live
Trying
Not to harbour
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.
Not hear, feel
Allow
Those awful
Awful
Terrible things.
