Hold me
still
hold me close.
Let me
not
see
the sadness
I fear
the most.
Let me
hear
your words
like angels sing.
Let me
know
no harm can come
when
I hear
what your heart
does bring.
Let me
feel
your warmth
embracing me
holding
me
keeping me
from
all danger
real
and
what I do perceive.
Hold me
hold me close
I do ask
of
thee.

We have travelled
far away from
Home
We have seen
exotic places
filled with
wonder, beauty
and
exquisite creatures
as
we roamed far
far from
Home
But nothing
is
as precious
as
Home
Those we have
here
right here
at
Home
Those we love
who love us
who greeted us
with
great happiness
and
joy
when we arrived here
right here
at
Home
So pleased
to be
here
right here
at
beautiful, exquisite
Home.

No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.

Cautiously
I move forward
Cautiously
Make no mistake
take each step with purpose
Cautiously
Let the beginning
be the end
The last step the first
Then
and
only then
Will you understand
the universe
Cautiously.

I won’t know
what you know
Nor
See
what you see
I can’t
hear
what you hear
Still
Still we can live
in
perfect harmony.

Feeling weak
not
strong
Wondering
whatever
could be wrong?
Let this day
move
forward
And
once again
let me feel my strength
Be
strong.

The howl
of
the monkey
may
tell me
the things I need
to know
I must listen
quietly
hear those words
that will bestow
answers
to
questions asked
It will be
all
all I need
need to know.

My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.
Wait for me
For
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there
No more, no more
To
Weep.

It doesn’t come easy
it’s
very hard
Keeping my mouth quiet
taking care
not to say anything
hurtful
demeaning
not
too hard
This is my quandary
this is
my mission
no matter my apprehension
But
still
still it’s very
very hard.
