Me And My Shadow
March 21, 2012Me and my Shadow
Are traveling thru
Life’s twists and turns
Purple haze of blue.
Me and my Shadow
Have come to see
Opportunities
Of the highest degree.
Me and my Shadow
Don’t lecture or seek
We follow the road
Where it seems to lead.
Me and my Shadow
Have long been together
Together we see
Yet she stays with me.
Me and my Shadow are traveling thru
The bumps and the curves
The ones we need too.
I thank you my Shadow
For all that you do
And standing behind me
No matter what I may ever do.

Remember When
March 20, 2012Remember when the time was sad
Remember when even so I was glad
Remember when the world was wrong
And I was not very strong.
Remember when the song I sang
Heralded not much of anything
Remember now the good, the bad
Remember not to be so sad
But stay forever very, very glad.
Remember when your life
Unfolded the only way it could
Remember when it was told
The way you should remember.
Remember when time was sad
Remember when you were glad
Remember all this life you had
Remember.

When We Don’t Know
March 19, 2012
When we don’t know
We stress and stress
Trying to make the best
Of a different situation
That has come to test.
Test us in ways
We don’t comprehend
Test us in ways
We don’t know and
We stress and stress.
We should know better
We should know best
Don’t forget
We are the masters
Of this life
We know best.
Know it does matter
Don’t bother to stress
In this life, in this life
That we know the best.

I Should Not Dwell In The Past
March 17, 2012I should not dwell in the past. I can’t change it nor should I want to.
I shouldn’t worry about the future. Only the Creator knows that.
Live now. Make it the best.

No More Tortured, Blackened Soul
March 16, 2012No more tortured, blackened soul
Spreading grief where’re you go
Bleeding hearts feel no gain
Of deeds done steeped in pain.
Blessed innocence lost for real
Cold and callous touch they feel
Unholy evil, a putrid curse
That future lives are staked to.
Only hope you descend
Quickly down
Whence you
Ever came from.

Journeys To Make
March 14, 2012Journeys to make
Decisions to ponder
Love to wander
Way far away.
But for now I will stay
And make my way
To the best
The best for me today.
When I do journey
Please let me find
Turth, happiness
All things most divine.
Journeys to ponder
Decisions to make
Where oh where
Shall my wandering take?

Feel The Green Coming Thru
March 13, 2012Feel the green coming thru
Up from ground all muddy too
Crickets run across the lane
To get to where is their domain.
Birds fly by tired from
Their trip up north
Gleaming food
from any source.
Sun is weak and far away
Coming closer day by day
Smile, relax know for sure
Weather cures all winter blues.
