The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

The Rain Hides My Tears

Let Me Be
August 22, 2024
Let me, let me be
at peace
quiet, silent
not asking anything
Let me, let me be
happy and carefree
Let me be.

Joy Will Come
August 21, 2024
Joy will come
happiness will be
then I’ll see
all the world wants me
to be.
No one left behind
no one crying
for we are all together
now and forever
til the end of eternity.

A Sweet, Loving, Kind Human Being
August 20, 2024
No more can I be
a sweet, loving, kind human being
Nothing is the same
nothing will be as it once was
when I was
a sweet, loving, kind, human being
Rage enrages, angers me
can’t see my way out
of this hopeless catastrophe
That’s what my life
seems to be
nothing like before
when I was
a sweet, loving, kind, human being.

Everything
August 19, 2024
Holy matrimony
Does not mean pure bliss
All you’d hope it be
Everything.
For there are times, there are places
No married person wants to
Experience
Times that seem they never end
Everything.
But the love you feel
The happiness, the laughter
All the intimate times
Are what will carry you thru
Everything.

The Water Weeps
August 16, 2024
The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

Wish I Knew
August 14, 2024
Wish I knew what
to do
wish I knew what tomorrow
would bring
Wish I knew the best path
to take
Oh how
I wish
Wish I knew.

Not Sure
August 13, 2024
Not sure why
Anything is.
Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity.
Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine.
Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity.
Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

Quietly I Said
August 12, 2024
Quietly I said those words
I know you dread.
The ones
that show you
for what you really are.
Quietly I said
quietly with no malice
no anger or dread.
I wish you too
could hear my words.
And quietly
quietly change the way
you say the words
to be said.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why
August 9, 2024
Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.
