Close the door
come sit beside
of
me
Tell me stories
sad or happy
make me cry with joy
or
with sadness
tragically
Come
come sit beside
of
me.

Come Sit Beside Of Me
May 26, 2025
Time To Rejoice
May 21, 2025
It is time
to rejoice, cheer
and
be in rhyme
with all the world
regardless
whether a tree, a river
a squirrel
or
a person so sublime.

Seen
May 20, 2025
I haven’t seen
what
you have seen
I haven’t been
what
you have been
But
Here we are
both of us together
forever
it appears, it seems
What more do we want
what
more do we need?

Trusting
May 15, 2025
Trusting in the Lord
trusting in me
let the things that happen
let them be
Tomorrow is another day
tomorrow will be
what the Lord wants
what I surely need.

You Heard Me
May 14, 2025
You heard me
I know you heard me
but
didn’t say a thing
to save my day
my life
Your eyes didn’t smile
nor
did you take me
in your arms
telling me, saying words
to stop the tears
the cries
You walked away
your back to me
like
you didn’t hear
hear me cry
But
I know you heard me
I know
you heard me cry.

Where You’ve Been
May 13, 2025
You Don’t Know
May 12, 2025
You don’t know
and
I haven’t seen
the future
what’s to be
for you, for me.
Tomorrow we’ll know
what
the day has been
but
first we have to
live it
to know, to have seen.

A Hummingbird Came
May 9, 2025
A hummingbird came to my window
today
not seen since
in the fall
when they all
flew away.
Sweet nectar she’s looking for
needs right away
hovering, looking in
she tells me.
Get it ready!
Get it ready!
Get it ready right away!
The little hummingbird
is
hungry
she’s flown such a distance
from far
far away.
Now needs
some sweet substance
til
all the blooms
are
on display.
A hummingbird came to my window
and
told me all this
just this morning
just today.

Let Me Hear Your Voice
May 8, 2025
Let me hear your voice
call
let it echo
across the river
down
the hall
Let me know
that
you’re just a breath away
your heart, your soul
are near
Holding me
safe, secure
each
and
every day.

Go Away
May 7, 2025
What can
I say?
They’re only words
words that’ll disappear
go away
If they’re written
for all to read
to say
will they last forever
or
still disappear
go away?
I’ve written these words
I have spoke them
and
all I can really say
is. . .
I’ll wait, I’ll see
if
they disappear
just
go away.
