There they are
here
I be
the gulf between
seems like
an
eternity
May we
bridge the gap
may we
be all together
once again
in
pleasant harmony.

There They Are, Here I Be

Feel The Heart
April 4, 2025
Feel the heart
Feel it beat
Sending life
Throughout the body
From the head
To
Walking feet
Never
Saids a word
Rarely
Skips a beat
For a whole lifetime
The heart
It beats
Beats
Beats.

Let Me Be

Let me be
happy
Please let me be
all I can

I should be
Let me
be.

We Don’t Know
April 2, 2025
We have not
begun to know
how
vast the universe
our galaxy, the oceans
or
what lies beneath
the frozen snow
We don’t know
How
the sun shines for centuries
not reduced to
just a glow
We don’t know
we don’t know much of anything
yet
we think we do
We think we know.

Heaven Hopes
April 1, 2025
Heaven hopes
and
does tell
the world’s troubles
oh so well
While seeking in heartache
something
so good, so divine
Let me
not forget
this path has troubles
that’ll guide me
show me
Build a self within me
so strong
so very kind.

It Came In Silence
March 31, 2025
It came in silence
it came
in broad daylight
dripping
dropping
then
and
throughout the night
Clutching branches
trees
houses
everything in sight
Silently freezing
covering them
in
a grasp
so tight
In horror
we heard a branch
limb
tree
crack
break
falling on lines
Sending silence
to
homes
yesterday
today
tomorrow
and
tonight
Gone
but
leaving
in it’s wake
destruction
devastation
throughout the country
No more silence
only
chainsaws
generators
roaring
every hour
all day
into
dark, dark night
Freezing rain
has
gripped us
all
so tight.

Holding On And Holding Fast
March 28, 2025
Holding on and holding fast
Not letting go.
Til the earth is beneath my feet
The sand whispering in my ear
And wind blowing too and fro.
Then
And only then
Will I let go.

You Haven’t Been
March 27, 2025
You haven’t been
the one I need
You haven’t been
all I crave
You haven’t been
But still
still
you are the one
I need, I love
I know will be
the one
to carry me
You’ll be
all I seek, all I need
this I know
you’ll be.

A Tear Drops
March 26, 2025
A tear drops
falls
to
a forgiving ground
No one sees
that
teardrop fall
No one
no one, not at all.

Holding My Heart
March 25, 2025
You’re holding
my heart, my soul
Please
never let go
For I’ll be adrift
in
a sea of heartache, misery
seeing no light
no sanctity
This I know, I see
So I’m sending you
my love
for all
that you’ve done
done
just for me.
