When the sky does flow
Across the land
Earth itself will command
All creatures dear
Big or small
To love
To live
Make us be
All one
No matter what voice
We may speak
Or call.

When The Sky Does Flow
March 5, 2024
In Retrospect
March 1, 2024
In retrospect
I see so clearly
The problems I had
Answers
That evaded me
In retrospect
I could have
Done things
Differently
In retrospect
I know my life
Could have been
Changed drastically
But
In retrospect
Then I would not be
The person I’ve become
I need to be
In retrospect.

Feeling Hurt
February 29, 2024
Feeling hurt, feeling pain
Wonder
Whatever is it
That I need to gain?
No one else
Seems to be
In this
In this quandary.

Secrets
February 28, 2024
Nobody else can ever know
All the secrets
Life bestows.
But when we’re gone
No longer here
Those secrets have a life
They ever flow.

No More
February 27, 2024
No more to be
No more to roam
Far away
From the expanse
I know
I call home.
Now is a new time
Now will be a time of change
A time to be
Everything I wanted
Everything
I knew was there
For me to claim.

The Caged Bird
February 2, 2024
The caged bird flies
Deep into brilliant
Blue, blue skies.
The caged bird cries
Songs of lilting love
Her sweet voice sings
Of beauty, freedom
All things.
The caged bird dies
In the midst of bars holding
Holding her in.
No soaring in blue skies
Nor lilting love songs sung
For this was only a dream
Dreamt in
A dark night long.

Hardly Seen
February 1, 2024
Hardly seen
Nor
Put upon as perfect
Yet
Here we are, here we be
Flourishing
Throughout the land
For all
To know
To feel, to touch
To see.

Near To Me
January 31, 2024
Holding in my heart
All the love you gave
Cherishing
All the thoughts I had
When you were close
Near to me.
Saddened by the thought
You’ve left, you’ve gone
Our love no more to be
But still
I have you always, in my heart
Near to me.

Peeking Thru The Light
January 30, 2024
Peeking thru the light
Breathing in the air
Magnificence is all I see
I need, I care.
No one else
Can do for me
What I need to do
Myself
One breath in, one breath out
Peering through the darkness
To the light
I need to walk, journey to
This is what life is all about.

I Struggle
January 29, 2024
I struggle to be
Someone
I’m not.
The reason I do
Can’t be understood
Can’t be
Reasoned away
With
Just any thought.
