I sit here in my splendour
Wondering where do I begin
It isn’t any other
It’s me
And I have to contend
With the matter, the matter
I laughed about
Now it’s everything
Everything I hold within.

I Sit Here In My Splendour
August 27, 2018
There Across The Table
July 27, 2018
There across the table
Opportunity
Stands
Smiling sweetly
He beckons
He commands
He shows me.

When The Time Is Right
July 20, 2018
When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.
Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.

Your heart treats you as you treat others
Take care to love yourself.

Going Forward, Going Forth
May 28, 2018
Going forward, going forth
Into the distance
Going with the force.
No one is left behind
No one is forgotten
All are with us now.
All will be in heaven
None forsaken
None overlooked or not taken.

Picky Partners
May 17, 2018
Picky partners don’t always last
Sometimes they bicker and fight
It goes on and on
For whatever reason it just
Lasts and lasts.
Picky partners need to let up
Knowing being together
Happily
Is what needs to
Forever last.

Wondering Once Again
May 11, 2018
Wondering
Once again.
Wondering
What is best?
Wondering
If I’ll make the right decision.
Wondering
Will it affect the rest?
Wondering
What will come to be?
Wondering
What will happen to me?
– No answers come but still –
Still I’m wondering.
Wondering
Just the same.

A Little Mess Was Made
May 2, 2018A little mess was made
And yet the consequences
Were not staged
They came in rolling waves
Bringing pain
Then peace
Breaking on the cheek
Grinding all the way
To aching, hurtful feet
Not sure what to do
Comfort, scold or
let be, let do
The consequences
When
A little mess is made.

Understand, Don’t Understand
April 16, 2018
Understand, don’t understand
How the world turns round
Can’t conceive, see the concept
Of what will come to be.
All fits together, all is a mess
Nothing left undone
All’s well and is what
Is the outcome.

I’m Going To Be
April 11, 2018
I’m going to be here
And over there.
I’m going to be full of brilliance
Nothing more.
I’m going to be forever
Evermore.
