I see the anger
the fury
Why do I let
this
envelope me?
Struggle to be free
to be
happy
Yet all I see
is
sadness, madness
Scaring me.

I See The Anger
July 15, 2025
Holding My Heart
March 25, 2025
You’re holding
my heart, my soul
Please
never let go
For I’ll be adrift
in
a sea of heartache, misery
seeing no light
no sanctity
This I know, I see
So I’m sending you
my love
for all
that you’ve done
done
just for me.

The Gentle Soul
March 18, 2025
The gentle soul
who resides inside of me
takes care
to be
kind, pleasing to all
that
she perceives
to
need her care, her comfort
all the things
that
help someone thrive
and
be
the best they can
That’s what
the gentle soul
inside
of me
she strives
to be.

Hear The Heart Call
March 5, 2025
Hear the heart call
beckoning all
to feel
love in our minds, our hearts
our souls
Let it be cherished
held close
forever
never losing what fills us
with
sweet kindness.
Let it be
Let it be what
our heart calls.

Yes I Can
February 4, 2025
Yes I can
I really will
make more of today
than
I did in yesterday.
Striving
only
to be me
into
tomorrow
with
pleasant dignity.

Nobody Knows Nor Sees
January 21, 2025
Nobody knows
nor
can they
see
the world
exactly
the same
as
me.

Stories Told
November 1, 2024
Stories told
Are the stories
I tell.
Are they true
Or did I just say words
That make the story
Told well?
Secrets revealed
Bad parts left out
Who knows
How can you tell?
Embellished or truthful
Telling a tale
To remember.
Not because
It’s told correctly
But told well.

I Can’t Believe
August 7, 2024I can’t believe
the things I see
I need
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll be better able to handle
all that comes at me
Maybe then
I’ll smile, relax
and
know it was meant to be
Meant
just for me.

Meant To Be
March 13, 2024
You can’t be
And
I’ll won’t let you be
Less than what you’re
Meant to be.
All the parts fall together
Melt into a tapestry
So beautiful, so majestic
Such beauty.
And
That’s, that’s what you’re
Meant to be
Nothing less I’ll make sure
You’ll be.

No Way To Go
January 24, 2024
No way to go
No way to know
The path that’s right
One that doesn’t veer left
Nor
To the right
Straight as an arrow
Moving thru obstacles
Moving
Directly through
The dark
Sinister night
To a salvation
So glorious, so right
But
I don’t know that way
The way to go
Today, tonight
Don’t know
Either
What’s wrong
Or
What could be
Right.
