I am good.
I am the best.
Don’t worry about the rest.

There I Am
November 19, 2011There I am
In the midst of all wonders
Wondering where I fit in.
Never alone but feeling alone
In this, the land of chagrin.
My purpose, my goal
Fuzzy and out of control
Here in a land full of wonders
Full of wonders and me
Wondering where I fit in.

Journeying To A Bad Place
November 18, 2011Journeying to a bad place
Taste the bitter space
Spit it out
Deny you feel this way
Change it
Journeying there no more.
Make it, make it a better place
Surround yourself with energy
Strong and secure
A better place, a much better place
A safe place
Never to journey to a bad place
Evermore.

I Have Been Blessed
November 17, 2011
I have been blessed.
Blessed with people in my life
that help me get to where
I need to be.
Blessed by circumstances, and
happenings. But most of all,
animals that I love and that
put me and keep me on the path
that I need to be.
I have been blessed.

Today Is A Day Of Sadness
November 14, 2011Today is a day of sadness
Grief and despair
Loss of a life dear to me forever
No words to express or share
Only emotions, raw feelings
The sadness
Deep in the empty void there.
Remorse, gratitude
For the time given and lost
Gone forever
Forever and ever
please don’t despair.
Piecing screams of anguish
Going far away, coming back
Today I remember
Say a prayer for a life
And a way gone forever
Forever and ever
Just despair.
A different path taken
Giving thanks for the lessons
Time spent teaching ways to survive
In a world without him forever
Forever and ever for this day
He died.

Poppies Grow
November 11, 2011Poppies grow
On the hill
Down the valley
And across the road.
No one knows
How many bow
Giving homage
To those that fell.
Giving their lives
For us to be free
Never once stopping
Turning back round
No, such brave ones
Onward they’d go.
I honor and bow
To the sacrifice they gave
As poppies bow silently
There, at their graves.
Brave men and women
Thank you, is all I can say
For what you have given
I honor you this and all days.

Yet Again, This Is It. This Is All
November 10, 2011
Yet Again
This is it. This is all
Down to earth
Hear them call
Move about
Hear them shout
This is it, this is all.
No matter that
You can’t believe
There in front of you
You perceive
This is it, this is all.
Embrace it fondly
Hold it close
No second chance
To have a boast
This is it, this is all.
