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
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
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
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
Go
Tic toc, tic toc
I’ll send you love
I’ll forget you not.

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.

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.

Why haven’t I seen
Your heart open up
Your voice speak
Soft, lilting words
Why haven’t I known
The place where all go
To be safe and unhurt
Why haven’t I?
I don’t know why
I haven’t been able
To experience all
Of these things.
I do know they exist
And know
Someday I’ll see all these
Beautiful, wondrous things.

What is the cause? What is the effect?
What does it mean?
For hearts are broken, cities crumble
Crops decay
Lives destroyed.
And
In the midst of this
A sprout pops up, a giggle resonates
Thunder dissipates
Rain clears all filth away.
There is a God
There is a life
We will not disappear.

Sleepless night
Bringing early morning light
Restful peace eluding senses
Throughout the dark
The long, question filled night.
No answers come
Only questions filling, swirling
Round my exhausted mind
No time to sleep, to rest
To dream of better times.
