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
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
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.

Keeping everything in store
Keeping all things close to me
Feeling insecure
Feeling
Feeling a little needy.

Hearing words in my head
They tell of times past
Then
Sometimes things ahead
‘Listen
Listen well’
Is what they said
‘For in telling, we give you
A chance to know
Know how to deal with
What has happened
And what is still ahead’.

I saw you together connected by an energy
A wave of endless love.
No words needed to convey, to see your love
Bonded together, radiating an energy
Produced by shared love.
Mother, daughter connected forever
By a word, a feeling, a energy
We simply name love.

Pleading with myself, I said
— Be careful —
Step slowly with a definite purpose
Leave no one behind
Deny not the living kind
Express yourself with love and kindness
Saying nothing but the best
Then laugh and let it be
Let it rest.

Never known where I belong
Seems to me my whole family
Is just wrong.
Why? Why?
Neither does my love’s
Seem willing to embrace
Me strong.
Why? Why?
I don’t know where I belong
Wherever I go
The same seems to apply.
Why? Why?
Am I from another earth?
Do I belong in a time
Gone by?
Can’t say
Don’t know what’s wrong.
Or should I just understand
The world belongs to those
That accept different as they are
Part of the woven web
Is what we are.
We belong, we belong
I now know where it is I belong.

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

The fight is on
Foes look eye to eye
No backing down
No clowning round.
Serious words uttered
Marching feet make
The ground shutter.
The sun looks dim
Trying to hide behind
Dark clouds that weep within.
No winners allowed
Only brave hearts move forward
No matter the thoughts
Indecisive or strong.
There is no right
There is no wrong.
