Joy will come
happiness will be
then I’ll see
all the world wants me
to be.
No one left behind
no one crying
for we are all together
now and forever
til the end of eternity.

Joy Will Come
August 21, 2024
Everything
August 19, 2024
Holy matrimony
Does not mean pure bliss
All you’d hope it be
Everything.
For there are times, there are places
No married person wants to
Experience
Times that seem they never end
Everything.
But the love you feel
The happiness, the laughter
All the intimate times
Are what will carry you thru
Everything.

The Water Weeps
August 16, 2024
The water weeps to the ground
Soaking all
Saturating a thirsty ground.
Flowers dance between
The raindrops moist
Blooming, sacrificing all
It is their choice.
Clouds thunder
Marching across the sky
No time for plunder
For something in the distance
Has caught their eye.
Now I stand amidst this
I’m part of this
The earth, the wind, the sky
All this happening round
I feel it, feel so profound.

Not Sure
August 13, 2024
Not sure why
Anything is.
Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity.
Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine.
Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity.
Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

Quietly I Said
August 12, 2024
Quietly I said those words
I know you dread.
The ones
that show you
for what you really are.
Quietly I said
quietly with no malice
no anger or dread.
I wish you too
could hear my words.
And quietly
quietly change the way
you say the words
to be said.

Not Sure, Not Sure Why
August 9, 2024
Not sure, not sure why
the world turns the way it does
clouds stream across the sky
birds sing and cows call.
I stand in the midst of it all
and
I’m not sure
not sure why.

No Matter What
August 2, 2024
No matter what
The earth turns
bringing light and warmth
on a summer day.
No matter what
Filling oceans up
creating life in the water
dirt and the sky.
No matter what
She moves
speaking words of love
heard by those quiet enough
No matter what.

No More To Say
August 1, 2024
No more to say
nothing
else to do
sitting, relaxing
watching everything
I need to be reality
Come true.

Give Me The Kind Of Strength
July 31, 2024
Oh give me
the kind of strength
you show
I should be
Let me give the love
you do
forgiving
all that transgressed
against thee
I know I haven’t
shame on me
Then
I see you giving all
with no thought
of what may come
to be
I’m in awe
of you
I care, I hold
I love you
Desperately.

On The Other Side, Sliding Down
July 26, 2024
On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
Hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.
