Knowing all
Does not help
To know
The best.
Knowing less
Leaves you open
To seek, question
All the rest.

Knowing All
March 24, 2020
I Have Not Seen Anything
February 25, 2020
I have not seen anything
I’ve looked and looked
But nothing, nothing.
My soul cries
Hoping to hear a answer
A answer for all these tears.
My feet do walk the world over
Treading, walking
Walking to find sacred ground
Where I can lie
Lie next to things that happened
Long ago, so profound.
Is this my journey’s life
A life lived seeking answers
Where answers are not to be found.
I hope, hope this is not
What will be
Will come to be around.

So Divine
February 19, 2020
Seek and you shall find
Heaven, heaven
Oh so divine.
Lose and you are lost
To wander in a quandary
So complex no ending
Will be yours or mine.
But in between
Live a life free and joyful
And the universe will
Come together
To combine, both worlds
So divine.

When You Pretend
February 5, 2020
When you pretend
and nothing happens
are you wrong
or should you extend
the playacting
til
all comes to be
the way you originally
pretended it to be.

Never, Nothing To Regret
January 3, 2020
Never, nothing to regret
Got only that which
I need to get
A heart cold, burdened down
Opens up and warms
With kindness shown around.
Never, nothing to regret
The world will come
Bringing all I can reach
And need to get
Sharing too
With those less fortunate.
A smile does it all
Believe
With never, nothing to regret
You’ll receive all you want
And need to get.

No Matter What Happens To Me
December 12, 2019
No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.
Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

Begging For The Answer
November 26, 2019
Begging for the answer
Looking for the right
To make my life a difference
Far, far into the brightest day
The darkest night.
No one will answer
Justify or let it go
Me alone will climb
The altar’s steps
Me alone will be the one
To know.

When I Hear Your Heart
October 23, 2019
When I hear your heart
Go
Tic toc, tic toc
I’ll send you love
I’ll forget you not.

I Have Found
September 26, 2019
I have found
My life abounds
With great and grandeur things
If I stay my breath
And listen
To all that brings me joy
Love
And lovely earthly things.

Exalted
September 25, 2019
Holy has it
Blessed to be
In the company of the exalted
Those that run the universe
The rain, the wind
And me.
No one says
They are lonely
Nor do they see reason
To be unhappy
Or heaven forbid
Angry.
You will be one
Of these persons
You will be filled with ecstasy
For the exalted
Will make sure
It comes to be.
