Hold the tender
In your hands
Bask in sunlight
Lighting all the land.
Never believe
Your life’s not worthy
For you are mighty
You are mighty grand.

When The World Is Laughing
July 19, 2019
When the world is laughing
And things are profound
Stand on their steps
Then lightly step down.
No holes will be barred
No one will curse or swear
Just jovial laughing
Not one bit of despair.
Hear the world laughing
Join the chorus of delight
Smile with pleasure
Let heartache take a hike.

So Long Ago
July 16, 2019
So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

Pull It All Together
July 4, 2019
Pull It all together
Make it your own
Smile in the face of danger
Never leave a lost soul
All alone.

Words
May 16, 2019
I go to write
Listening for the words to form
Pictured in my mind they come
They take their form
On the page they rest
Now said, now wrote.
I thank the presence
That brought them to my mind
Formed the thoughts to convey
And then
Without another word
Quietly slipped away.

Focus On The Present
May 7, 2019
Focus on the present
Live in today
Pay attention to what’s happening
Still remembering yesterday.

I
April 11, 2019
I can’t be scorned, belittled or debased
I am alive, I have survived
And
I know, know what I need to do.

Another Idea Came To Mind
April 10, 2019
Another idea came to mind
Popped into my head
My mind
Write it down, ponder it
Express it
Make it become
A reality.
Cause if I let it be
It’ll wander and fade
To a fleeting thought
That once lived
Briefly
In my mind
In my psyche.

I Heard Your Heart Beat
March 21, 2019
I heard your heart beat
I saw your breath breathe
My fingers touched your lips
My hands caressed your feet.
As my soul touched yours
I knew, knew there was
No where else in this world
I need be or rather go.

I’ve Gone The Distance
March 18, 2019
I’ve gone the distance
I’ve paid the price
The fruits of my labour
may not be suffice
I’ve toiled, anguished
Over minor things
Leaping over hurdles
I’ve just about brought
My heart to the brink
Then
Because I love you
I believe
It’s worth everything.
