There isn’t any time
To
Make it right
No time to turn around
An ongoing blight.
Let the world know
Let it be said
You stood your ground
You did what had to be done
Had to be said.

Tender Is The Heart
May 25, 2023
Tender is the heart
That beats
Coursing love thru all that speak
Never once demanding back
Only loving, loving
And
That is that.

Words
May 19, 2023
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.

Maybe You Saw
May 11, 2023
Maybe you saw
What happened to me
Maybe you saw
How unnecessary.
But then it happened
Happened to you and you see
Nothing to judge
Even if done discreetly.

Don’t Know
May 3, 2023
Totally don’t know
What to say
Maybe later, later in the day
All will be clear
All
Understood
And
I’ll know, know what I should say
I surely should.

Happen, Happened
April 19, 2023
You cannot see
I cannot say
What
Will happen, happened
Yesterday.
The time is unknown
Can only wonder
About tomorrow
And
What took place
Yesterday.

Stand Tall
April 18, 2023
Stand tall
Answering the questions
Roaming
Through your mind.
Don’t let them grow
Becoming nothing
But
All you see.
Don’t let them be the essence
Of what makes up
The you
Or
The sweet, gentle
Me.

Do You Know Me
April 12, 2023
Do I know you?
Do you know me?
Do you wake in the night
Wondering how I could be?
Is your first thought in the morning about me?
Your last question as your eyes fall asleep
Is it, is it all about me?
I didn’t think so
I knew it wouldn’t be
Cause I never think of you
And
You don’t know me.

The Sadness In Your Life
April 10, 2023
When I see
The sadness in your life
The unkindness
The things that shouldn’t be
My heart goes out
Wants to hold you
Oh, so closely.
I hope in tomorrow’s
Morning light
You’ll be in a better place
Far away from any strife
But near enough
So
We can embrace.

When I Hear Your Call
March 22, 2023
When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet.
When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry.
Now again
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes.
My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.
