You
couldn’t be
what I needed
you
to be
No
you were not
But
was I what
you craved
asked me
to be?
I think not
Because
I
too
couldn’t be.

Couldn’t Be
August 13, 2025
Falling Down
August 12, 2025
I saw
you
falling down
I saw
rocks slip
crashing
all around
No sound
could
I hear
no breath intake
no cries
for
God’s sake
Only
falling
falling down.

I Hear You Call
August 11, 2025
I hear you call
I do
I hear your voice
in
that
so sincere way
Say
the words
I want to hear
help me
thru
not only this day
I hear your call
you’re here
with
me
Nothing
gets better
we’re together
just
you and me.

Me
August 8, 2025
After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me
I found
Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

Remembering
August 5, 2025
Crying heart, crying times
remembering
those
whose voices
sang
words of love
devotion
all
those wondrous things
Gone now
gone from the world
gone
from
everything
Except
my sad heart
my wailing voice
my mind
that
remembers
Remembers
all
remembers everything.

The Answer
August 1, 2025
Already heard
the answer
Made my decision
right or wrong
Will believe
in
that answer
Made clear
and
so profound.

Finding Out
July 31, 2025
Holding still
and
finding out
the world
doesn’t turn round
me
There
is
no doubt
Full of myself
proud
dictating
what’s to come about
is
not
who I should be
This is true
I have
no doubt.

Let Me
July 30, 2025
Let me
see
feel
the magic
in
the world
the land
Let me
step
upon
soft ground
but not
deserted sand
Let me
envelop
myself
in
generous
spirituality
Let me
not
say
anything
that
isn’t real
Let me
be.

I Am Strong
July 29, 2025
I am strong
my mind is bold
I will become
what my heart beats
what is mine
to
behold.

Can You See Me?
July 28, 2025
Can you see me?
Am I
close to you?
Are my lips moving
singing
songs
of
love?
Do my steps
follow
the righteous path
or
veer into
what’s called
a
disastrous class?
Are you there beside of me?
Can I hear
your voice
singing words
in
a pleasant melody?
Do I know
if
I fall
you’ll be there
picking me
up
Supporting me
Till the trail ends
and
we have made it
We are there.
