No one else
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Hold Me Close
October 23, 2025
Hold me close
I pray you hold me tight
for
I am frightened
by
what shows
in
the morning light
Let it not be coming
to
take me
Let it be
just
a passing storm
that cares
nothing
absolutely nothing
about me.

Are You Treading Water
October 22, 2025
Are you treading water
waiting
to die?
Or
diving in
with
a loud victorious cry?
Or
swimming
to
a island paradise?
Your choice
to
make
your choice to live
in
this time
before you die.

I Hold My Hands
October 21, 2025
I hold my hands
I close them
tight
I feel the glory
in
all their might
They will cheer
the good, great fight
they will fall silent
in
mourning
the world’s sad plight
I hold my hands
thankful
they can show the world
my delight.

Take Hold Of Me
October 17, 2025
Take hold of me
And please hold tight
Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night
Let no harm come to me
Or those I love
This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.

My Seeing Eyes
October 16, 2025
I close my eyes
covering up all
I surmise
to be
awful
to
my seeing eyes
Tomorrow when
I open up
my eyes
see the beauty, the wealth
in
all the clouds
the skies
Then I’ll know
I don’t have
to
really close
my eyes
For that beauty
is
all around
whether
they are closed or open
to
these
my seeing eyes.

My Heart Cringes
October 14, 2025
My heart cringes
my eyes do cry
for
the times of happiness
gone
passed by
I hope
tomorrow shows
some delight
I hope
I’ll find peace
and
rest quietly
tonight.

You Call Me
October 8, 2025
You call me
I hear
your voice
the soft lilt
such
a quiet voice
I call back
but
you don’t
hear
you have spoken
I know
you’re near
The line is broken
and
it’s not clear
why
I speak
but
you don’t hear.

You Can Be
October 7, 2025
You can be
somebody
You
can be
everything
All you have to do
is
believe.

Quiet Place
October 6, 2025
Chosen
is
a quiet place
to be
Sitting
oh
so quietly
Tomorrow
I’ll move
Tomorrow
I’ll be
The moving force
that
allows
The quiet place
to be.
